Nun, 86, is gang-raped and murdered when robbers break in South Africa
The Daily Mail ^ | 21 April 2015 | HELEN MOSS

An 86-year-old nun was reportedly gang-raped before being murdered in her bedroom at a South African missionary.

Gertrud Tiefenbacher's hands had been tied with a typewriter cord and a towel placed over a face, say local police.

Her body was found by other nuns at the Sacred Heart Missionary in Ixopo, a small town 85 miles south-west of Durban.

Police in KwaZulu-Natal are waiting for the results of forensic tests to confirm that Sister Gertrud was sexually assaulted.

They say she was suffocated but they are unsure how many men attacked her. A small sum of money - thought to be in euros - had been stolen from her room.

The victim's friend Betty Firmstone, 85, told South Africa's Daily News: 'I met Sister in 1952 when I started teaching at a school attached to the mission. We worked very closely together. She loved her work with children.

'This really was an act of savagery against a gentle, caring soul.'

Sister Gertrud had lived at the missionary for 60 years after moving to South Africa from her native Austria.

yeah I don’t see how dopamine or serotonin or other chemical processes could interact to induce a group to commit such horrific acts. There must be some component of evil.

Evil hates good and tries to destroy it whenever the opportunity exists.

Apartheid was never the horrible system it was depi9cted. South Africa was the most advanced African country. All economic classes benefited when the country had those bad bad ole White people making decisions.

“Apartheid was never the horrible system it was depi9cted.”

Yes, it was. Massive, systematic, and completely irrational oppression of indigenous peoples who were not treated as citizens of their own country. Don’t sugarcoat it. Also, let’s not pretend that it made the country unlivable. It didn’t. We have to be honest on all sides.

“South Africa was the most advanced African country.”

1930’s Germany was the most advanced country in continental Europe. I don’t think you’re saying as much as you might think you are.

No, MOST blacks in RSA, now or during Apartheid were NEVER "indigenous" to that area!

The Boers have been there far longer than the vast majority of blacks and longer than the Brits, as well.

And you apparently don't know much about that nation.

I’m not sugarcoating anything. I’m saying quite correctly that the Xhosas in Transkei had more rights and a better country than Kenyans living in Kibera. But Transkei was never recognized as a country by the UN and most of the world due to an insane prejudice against Whites in South Africa.

Today, boys are still surfing in Durban’s Bay of Plenty but the crime rate makes life on land much tougher for all the races of Natal.

“No, MOST blacks in RSA, now or during Apartheid were NEVER “indigenous” to that area!”

That’s false. Some tribes were moving south while the Dutch settlers were moving north, but Bantu tribes were still within the modern borders of South Africa and neighboring countries.

“The Boers have been there far longer than the vast majority of blacks and longer than the Brits, as well.”

Which changes nothing I said.

“And you apparently don’t know much about that nation.”

I apparently know a great deal more than you do.

“I’m saying quite correctly that the Xhosas in Transkei had more rights and a better country than Kenyans living in Kibera.”

Which still doesn’t excuse apartheid. Saying they had it better than someone else is essentially meaningless. There’s always someone who has it better or worse if you look hard enough.

“But Transkei was never recognized as a country by the UN and most of the world due to an insane prejudice against Whites in South Africa.”

No. The apartheid phony states were not recognized because everyone knew they were a fraud. The UN probably never recognized any of the sixteen “autonomous” republics within the RSFSR either. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_Soviet_Socialist_Republics_of_the_Soviet_Union#Russian_SFSR

Obviously, you also have a problem with reading comprehension; I wrote "MOST"; I did NOT say "ALL BLACKS" !

You contradict yourself and prove my point. Since the Boers were ALREADY there, the blacks, who were beginning to move into the territory, were the newcomers. And many other blacks were brought into South Africa, as slaves, by the Zulus, from other areas outside of what is now known as RSA.

No, You don't know more about this nation than I do and have proved it.

How is having more rights essentially meaningless to you? Do you not give South Africans any credit for building up that country to what it became? Why did Blacks continue to migrate into South Africa in spite of “White rule”?

No, most of the rapes, especially that of children and babies, are black on black.

"...who would want to rape such an old lady, it doesn't make sense evolution-wise at all..."

As grotesque as it might sound, there is a common belief in Africa that raping a virgin will cure AIDS. Infant girls have been a common target. But they can't talk, and say who raped them. Hence the murder of an 89 year old nun.

It's racissss to question the quaint beliefs of another culture.

I bet if you were black you wouldn’t have loved it. You sound like a complete twit for saying such a thing. What next? The holocaust wasn’t really that big of a deal?
