Mrs Madeléne van der Westhuizen and her six-year-old daughter Megan got the fright of their lives on Friday-morning when they were confronted by a heavily-armed group of police officers who kicked in their back door - even though Mrs van der Westhuizen was pleading with them to let her get dressed first before opening the door to the men. When little Megan woke up, the Afrikaner child's bed was surrounded by police officers targetting her with R5-assault rifles.

Hùge farm attack death rate led to murder of woodgatherer:

http://www.news24.com/News24/South_Africa/Gauteng/0,1113,2-7-829_1280825,00.html
The high incidence of deadly farm attacks in Bronkhorstspruit by young African males had created such an overwhelming fear of all unknown Africans that this fear had led to the murder of a tresspassing African wood-gatherer on a farm there last year.

Psychologist Jacobus Francois Truter testified that 23-year-old farmer Jan Vermeulen had worked and lived in great fear on his farm and had been very security-conscious and terrified for the safety of his family due to the huge number of violence-driven stock thefts and 33 farm murders that year in the Bronkhorstspruit area, which all had been carried out by young African males.

 

Vermeulen pleaded guilty to a charge of murdering wood-gatherers Simon Makhabitshane and assaulting Joseph Nkosi on his father's farm at Leeufontein.

 

The psychologist told the Pretoria High Court that Vermeulen had been become terrified for his family, and very security-conscious due to the 33 deadly farm attacks which had occurred that year -- and all of which had been carried out by young African males.

 

The psychologist said Vermeulen therefore, and accurately, "saw black people as being responsible for farm murders and stock thefts". Vermeulen also suspected that strangers who were gathering wood could well be carrying out reconnaissance of the farm to plan future crimes. Farm security experts often warn farmers to be on the lookout for such strangers.

Truter said Vermeulen had shown remorse for his action - and is also deeply concerned about the fate of his elderly parents, who had received death threats and would probably lose ownership of the farm.

 

Vermeulen had also written letters to the victims -- Nkosi and Makhabitshane's families -- begging forgiveness.

 

He said Vermeulen was not an inherently violent person and had not been poli

• Afrikaner Harry Bezuidenhout dumped naked in the veld

Mcleantown - "I thought I was seeing faces when I saw this 'kaalgat' person on the gravel road but I realised when I got closer that this was a real man and that he was scared to death. I've never seen someone this frightened."

This was the observation of Fanie Hein, a farmer, when he came across a man who was not only robbed of his bakkie but also of his clothes, shoes, glasses, money and cellphone.

The victim, Harry Bezuidenhout (40) of Stutterheim, was covered with bruises and scratches. He had walked more than three kilometres without any shoes when Hein came across him.

According to Hein, Bezuidenhout was very frightened and he shivered extremely. He then took Bezuidenhout home to get him some clothing before they went to the police.

Police spokesperson capt. Michelle Matroos said that Bezuidenhout's was robbed of his bakkie in the Wilsionia industrial area.

Apparently a minibus pulled in front of him which forced Bezuidenhout to stop. At first he tried to reverse but two men jumped out of the minibus and aimed a gun at him.

They took his keys and shoved him in the minibus and then one of the robbers drove of with his bakkie. Later on Bezuidenhout was forced to strip stark naked and at some point they threw him out of the car.

1. Soweto-bomme en hul na-skokke
2. Rugby en die Rand
3. Toerisme: die (dooie?) gans se goue eiers
4. Maar daar is ook goeie nuus
5. Dit en dat
6. Nuusbrokkies
7. Bewaar die knikkertjie . . .

1. Soweto-bomme en hul na-skokke
'n Maand gelede is Suid-Afrika op 'n Sondagnag geruk deur nege bomme wat in
Soweto ontplof het. Treinspore is uitmekaargeruk en 'n moskee is beskadig.
Een vrou is dood deurdat sy getref is deur 'n spoorstaaf wat honderde
meters deur die lug getrek en op haar plakkershut geval het.

Die bomaanvalle is onmiddellik gekoppel aan die sogenaamde "Boeremag", 'n
ekstremistiese en radikale regse splintergroep.

Die polisie het ses verdagtes geidentifiseer, maar tot nog toe is niemand
aangekeer nie.

Kort na die Soweto-voorval het 'n bom van 'n ander aard ontplof. Die Groep
van 63, 'n groep Afrikaanssprekende intellektueles en akademici, het 'n ope
brief aan president Mbeki geskryf waarin hulle eerstens die bomontploffings
veroordeel het, maar dan verder die regering gemaan het om ag te slaan op
die vervreemding in Afrikaner-geledere wat uiteindelik aanleiding gee tot
gewelddadige optrede. Hierdie brief het 'n opskudding veroorsaak.

Koerantredakteurs, rubriekskrywers en politici het 'n fel aanval op die
Groep van 63 geloods en gesê hulle praat geweld goed. Die Groep het egter
voet by stuk gehou deur aan te voer dat hulle geweld veroordeel, maar dat
dit nie genoeg is om net die sigbare simptome aan te spreek nie. Die
regering sal die groeiende onderliggende probleem van Afrikaner-vervreemding
(soos veroorsaak deur o.a. verengelsing, diskriminasie in die werkplek en
plaasmoorde) ook moet aanspreek.

Van die skerpste aanvalle het van Marthinus van Schalkwyk, leier van die
NNP, gekom. Daarteenoor het persone soos Max du Preez, dr. Pieter Mulder,
prof. Hermann Giliomee en selfs aardsbiskop Tutu die standpunt gehuldig dat
onderliggende frustrasies aangespreek sal moet word.

Sien aanhangsel 1 vir die Groep van 63 se brief aan president Mbeki en
oordeel self.

Sedertdien het nog bomontploffings in Bronkhorstspruit en Midrand voorgekom
en is 'n brug in Kwazulu-Natal op die pad vanaf Durban na die " Wild Coast
Sun" deur twee bomme beskadig.


2. Rugby en die Rand
Suid-Afrikaanse rugbyliefhebbers moet deesdae maar eerder na die waarde van
die rand kyk as na rugby as hulle depressie wil vermy.

Die Springbokspan het drie verpletterende rekord-nederlae gely tydens hulle
onlangse oorsese toer (Frankryk: 30-10: Skotland: 21-6 en Engeland: 53
-3!)

SA se minister van sport, Ngconde Balfour het nie juis bygedra tot die skep
van 'n positiewe klimaat in die Suid-Afrikaanse sportwêreld nie. Tydens 'n
vergadering het hy openlik gesê hy gaan nie Nuweland toe om spelers soos
(Mark) Boucher en (Jacques) Kallis te sien nie. Hy gaan om na Paul Adams en
Makhaya Ntini te kyk. ``Wie is Jacques Kallis? Jacques Kallis beteken niks
vir my nie. Swart mense wil swart mense op die veld hê," het hy bygevoeg.

Die UDM het 'n klag by die Menseregte-kommissie (MRK) gelê waarin aangevoer
