Whites in Pretoria – mostly Afrikaners – targetted in senseless murders by armed gangs where nothing is robbed…
Jul 27 2009 Nathi Mthethwa, the new minister of safety and security in South Africa, has launched an urgent probe into the great many motiveless murders targetting mostly white residents in the Greater Pretoria area.
In the latest incident, Afrikaner dad Stephanus Johannes Weideman Handford (37) was shot down execution-style in the Thatchfield Manor security complex in Centurion in front of his wife and five-month-old triplet-sons by a black, armed gang. Nothing was robbed.
That same day, Afrikaner businessman Johann Blignaut (54) was also shot dead execution style while working at his laptop computer in his lapa, a fenced-off area of his garden in Moreleta Park east of Pretoria. Again, nothing was robbed by this black gang which had torn out a concrete panel of a high-security wall to get to their target. They even left alone his lap-top, usually one of the most popular items to be robbed in South Africa after cell-phones…
Two weeks earlier, a University of Pretoria staff member, Mrs Pat Beckmann, was left paralysed after she was gunned down in her home in Constantia Park east of Pretoria by a black gang. Again, nothing was robbed from her home.
Mthethwa’s spokesman Hangwani Mulaudzi told Beeld Afrikaans-language newspaper: “This is a serious problem. Why are people being murdered without anything being robbed? The minister is investigating this matter.’
Last week, Mthethwa also made a public statement in Pretoria in which he introduced a countrywide crime-sweep called Operation Washa Tsotsi – and which means, he warned, ‘ that residents would see a lot more cops, police vehicles, road-blocks and Oryx-helicopters of the Defence Force in their communities’.
Operation Washa Tsotsi was launched as ‘an intelligence-driven campaign to combat serious and organised crime’, according to the government’s website.
