South Africa: Farm Murders and House Invasions

[Wasp]

Over the course of the past several years in South Africa, thousands of farmers have been ruthlessly murdered. In some cases, of course, theft was the motive where the perpetrators steal the farmer’s possessions and/or land. In other cases, however, the perpetrators are merely satisfied by the act of murdering, killing grandfathers, grandmothers, mothers, fathers, boys, girls, and even babies, stopping at no one. Meanwhile, the government seems to turn a grin to such fates, sometimes feigning concern but seldom actively pursuing such wicked people. The pictures in this posting are but a few of the victims. It’s a pity that farmers, who are mainly responsible for feeding the people of the land, get killed by the people they actually help feed (More than 3000 killed to date).

Yip … funny thing is everything is still blamed on “Apartheid” … However, you do get individuals that just like to kill and it’s easy for them to hide behind the issues from the past. It’s a pity we have to live with the sins of our fathers …

I had no idea that farming was a killer job.

90 murders a day in south africa, many of them racially motivated or motivated by greed, poverty and the belief that africa belongs to africans....

In 1994 there were 442 raids by black gangs on SA farms, causing 92 deaths of white people.

In 1995, there were 551 such raids which resulted in the deaths of 121 white people.

In 1996, there were 468 such raids which resulted in the deaths of 109 white people.

In 1997, there were 434 such raids which resulted in the deaths of 84 white people.

In 1998, there were 827 such raids which resulted in the deaths of 145 white people.

In 1999, there were 834 such raids which resulted in the deaths of 136 white people.

In 2000, there were 902 such raids which resulted in the deaths of 142 white people.



And, up to October, 2001 there were 809 such raids which resulted in the deaths of 106 white people.

Thus, whilst Nelson Mandela was the President of South Africa from May 1994 until June 1999, there were around 3,000 attacks on isolated white-owned farmsteads during which nearly 600 members of South Africa's white farming community were slaughtered by well-organised, heavily-armed black death squads. He never issued any statements condemning these attacks when he was President.



"2007 armed farm attacks increased by 23,8% due to Mbeki's decision to end the commando-rural policing system, warns opposition party"


According to the statistics being maintained on the website http://groups.msn.com/crimebustersofsouthafrica at least 2,942 farm murders have been recorded there since 1994 - primarily of Afrikaner farmers, their kin and their families.



Please note that this record is incomplete since many farm murders remain underreported or are reported without mentioning the fact that the murder occurred on a farm or smallholding.

Members of the Transvaal Agricultural Union, deeply upset about the double-murder on 82-year old Bronkhorstspruit farmer Hendrick Janse van Rensburg and his 17-year-old grandson Dean Charles Woodraffe on the farm Zusterstroom, on Monday March 17 held a protest demonstration at the local law-courts against the arrested suspect's bail application.

The chairman of TAU-Centraal region, Anthony Scott-Dawkins, handed over a petition to the magistrate on behalf of the entire farming community, opposing an arrested man's bail.

He also expressed his condolances with the family of the murdered men.

"To lose an elderly, believed father and grandfather, and a grandson simultaneouosly in such a cruel fashion, makes dealing with the trauma of such a loss so much more difficult,' he said.



Scott-Dawkins has called on the local police to also investigate 'anti-white racism' as a motive for the murders.

"It simply is no longer acceptable that farmers are being murdered in this cruel fashion and that just a cellphone was 'robbed' as the only motive.

"People don't just get murdered for something as petty as a cellphone.

"There must be other motives behind this and it's high time that the police investigates these underlying motives much more thoroughly.'
