Seven farm-attack related deaths Aug 14: Aug 14 farm attack: killed: Henry van Rensburg, 74 August 15, 2002 -- Another elderly Afrikaner farmer has been shot dead by a group of young African male attackers on his farm in the North West on Friday. 74-year-old Henry Van Rensburg of a farm near Delareyville was shot in the stomach and neck, after he had  pressed the panic button accessing his security company. However it could not reach him in time to save him -- the old man was found dying on his bed, having been shot twice, and succumbed to his injuries before emergency services arrived at the scene.  Some rooms in the house were ransacked. However nothing of value seemed to be missing but they have found fingerprints and are looking for the suspects, who had a police record, KZN police said. Aug 14 farm attack: Madoda and Emmah Shange, 74 and 75, at Mbongolwane, KZN: Aug 15, 2002 -- An elderly Zulu couple has been shot dead at their Mamba tribal trust farming community in Mbongolwane, near Ulundi, according to KwaZulu-Natal police. The gunman, described as an African male,  didn't take anything from the rondavel in which Madoda Shange (74) and his wife, Emmah (75), lived. No-one has been arrested. Zulu peasant family massacre: three killed, 13 injured Aug 15, 2002 -- Also in Kwazulu-Natal, three members of yet another Zulu peasant family were massacred by a large group of young African males, armed with AK-47s, on Muden Road, about 15 km outside Greytown, while on their way to a funeral. Thirteen other family members were also injured. Police have not yet released the victims' names. Nothing was robbed, no-one has been arrested. Headless body of European male found on Mpumalanga farm: Aug 15, 2002 -- And police have also found the headless torso of an ethnic-European male on a Mpumalanga farm yesterday. They are still trying to establish his identity from the long list of names of farmers and farm family members reported missing in the province. Police are treating this as possibly being a farm-attack related death, as signs of torture and mutilation were also found on the body. http://www.sapa.org.za/public/browse.cfm?&category=%27A%27&agemax=d

Isn't it amazing how African-Americans go ballistic about anything European/white in this country but refuse to admit that anyone without black skin should even be allowed to live in Africa much less have rights. The only people who have ever had an egalitarian thought on this planet are white!

Thanks for looking... I am glad you have seen past the smoke-screen generated by the usual suspects in our media. They have tried to portray the situation in southern Africa as a clone of our own civil-rights struggles when in fact just the opposite was true. Africa is degenerating into chaos and anarchy under the guise of "liberation" and "one man, one vote." All while the media here turns a blind eye to what is really happening.

What I used to tell people was that while Apartheid was an onerous, offensive system, I would prefer being a black South African under Apartheid to being a person of any color under the old Soviet system- and I still believe those words to be true and correct. Given time, the old South African government would have worked out it's problems- but it was not allowed to do so.

Today, we are seeing the results of this folly in Zimbabwe- or rather, we see what tiny bits the web and small elements of talk radio cover.

The whole story of contemporary Africa is a sad tale of tribalism, class warfare, and massive corruption- and one the media here "won't even talk about" because it does not fit within their template of acceptable ideas.
