Piet Retief town torched by angry residents


Piet Retief, Mpumalanga -- Jun 29 2009 http://jv.news24.com/Beeld/Suid-Afrika/0,,3-975_2534378,00.html

Church Piet Retief Cobus Coetzee of Beeld newspaper reports that tens of thousands of angry residents in the town of Piet Retief in Mpumalanga province sowed fire and destruction all over the region by torching the homes of ANC-councillors and municipal-run pinetree plantations bordering commercial food-producing farms.

All the shops in the traditional Voortrekker Boer-built town of Piet Retief were shuttered and boarded up while the residents rampaged through the town with their firebrands, looking for ANC-councillors’ properties to burn… The outburst of anger was prompted by the fact that all the councillors of the local “Mkhondo” municipality – i.e.  Piet Retief – according to residents had to resign because of the widespread accusations of gross mismanagement of the usually so peaceful region’s financial affairs. Residents demand that they resign, saying they won’t wait for the results of the ANC’s own internal ‘forensic audit’.

Thousands of residents demand that the mayor Mary Khumalo resign at once -- together with municipal manager Roy Ledwaba. The residents accuse them and other ANC-councillors of gross financial mismanagement, saying they live in poverty, without municipal services, while the councillors live in the lap of luxury.

Boer leader Piet Retief treaty with Zulu King Dingane_1838 Picture left: the original treaty between the Voortrekker Boer leader Piet Retief and Zulu King Dingane granted the Boers private ‘everlasting’ property rights in the Zulu’s hegemonial areas. This is the document from the 1838 treaty. The town was named after this gutsy Boer leader.

The local MEC Norman Mokoena, promised in response to the outbursts of anger, that an internal ‘forensic audit’ would be conducted, but also said they weren’t going to just summarily dismiss the councillors before its results were known. Residents weren’t well-pleased with this response however, and started torching the homes of the councillors and the municipal properties from which, it is being alleged, the ANC-fat cats are earning their lucrative incomes:  which include the large pine- and wattle-tree plantations surrounding the town.

Police supt. Abie Khoabane, said the N2-freeway to Pongola was blocked with burning tyre-barricades and that groups of angry firebrands were walking around torching everything in sight. All the businesses in Piet Retief were closed with their doors and windows shuttered while the residents vented their rage.  Hendrik Zeelie, a farmer and security chief of the local farmer’s association, said they were worried about the safety of the area’s food-security, because the pine plantations being torched are located right next to the commercial food-farms.

Mayor Andries Gamede of the ruling regional management committee, called the Gert Sibande-district council, which is a different ruling body from the Mkhondo municipality, said the residents cannot demand that councillors must be fired before they have ‘completed their investigation’.

It is warfare out here ... Pretoria Afrikaners under siege

A second white couple of the Kameeldrift smallholdings near Pretoria, which have been in a decades-long siege from armed criminal gangs, were attacked in the past two weeks. Elmore de Reuck (31) of Sable Hills high-security Waterfront Estate at the Roodeplaat dam near Kameelfontein was tied up. The family was looted of a ring, a watch, jewellery and R3,000 in cash.

Jaco and Ohna Strauss also attacked

Strauss Ohna and Jaco SableHillsEstateAttackJune192009YouWhitesLiveSoNiceHere Only two weeks earlier, Jaco en Ohna Strauss, left,  were also attacked in the same luxury high-security complex. During this attack, the men had also been equally crude and aggressive as they were to the De Reuck couple, and had also threatened to rape Mrs. Strauss, telling her: ‘you whites live so nice while we blacks live in such misery, we are here to rape you…’

According to Mr De Reuck ‘s brother-in-law Armand du Toit, 41, the power to the homestead had been cut off and the couple had left a sliding door slightly ajar to run an electricity extension cord to his home next door. The De Reuch children Tanel (5) and Elmore jr. (6) sleep with their parents in the same bedroom but had slept through the attack because the armed robbers were unable to get the fortified bedroom door opened up. Braam Fourie,security official at the complex, said they have stepped up their security measures by installing twelve more surveillance cameras. Police constable  Portia Maleka confirmed that police were investigating. No-one was arrested. http://jv.news24.com/Beeld/Suid-Afrika/0,,3-975_2534381,00.html

2008 attacks in greater Pretoria area show the intense and long-term ferocity of these armed attacks against Afrikaner whites:

8-year-old Afrikaans boy used as human shield by armed gang, S.Africa
Reyneke_juandre_usedAsShieldByRobbersVarkfonteinDec22008_ZADecember 03 2008 -- Afrikaans-language newspaper Beeld journalist Virginia Keppler reports how three armed robbers used 8-year-old Afrikaans farm boy as a shield yesterday - to lure the owner of a game farm from his homestead. Their purpose: to kill the Kenyaka lodge game-farm owner.

Also notable: the difference in which the Afrikaans-language news media and the English-language news media reported this very same event. Click here for the English-language news report. http://www.news24.com/News24/South_Africa/News/0,,2-7-1442_2436336,00.html

Reyneke_Andre_SonJuandre_UsedAsShieldByRobbersVarkfonteinDec22008ZA Ms Keppler reports that the child, Juandré Reyneke, 8, and his father, André, a professional hunter, were overpowered and assaulted at about 02:00 in their rondavel on a game farm at Varkfontein near Cullinan, east of Pretoria. André, who is a diabetic, and his son were guests on the farm. "We were asleep. When I woke up, I saw someone pushing a pistol against my son's head," said André. "The next moment one (of them) hit me in the face with his fist and pulled me off the bed.

"They wanted money, access to the gun safe and firearms. My child became hysterical. "I talked to him to calm him down, but then they jumped on my head and back and kicked me in the ribs. "They also hit my son against the head with the pistol and slapped him in the face and on the chest,"André said.

Then the robbers tied André and his son's hands and feet with boot laces.
One of the thugs stayed to guard the father while the other two dragged his son to the rondavel (a round African cottage) in which game-farm owner Kassie Cloete was sleeping.  After shooting him in the stomach twice, the game-farm owner shot back and the attackers fled. Cloete told the Afrikaans journalist from his bed in Montana Hospital what happened:

  • He woke up when he heard the boy calling him from outside. "I went to the sliding door of my room and saw the child standing there. I asked him what was wrong and the next moment a man emerged from behind a wall and shot at me." He was hit twice. "I grabbed my pistol and fired a shot, and the robbers fled," Cloete said. But the robbers dragged the terrified child along until they reached the farm gate.

Tried to cut off his ring finger:


"There they shouted at my child: 'Run or we'll shoot you,' but his feet were still tied,"André said.

  • André said a robber was just about to cut off his ring finger to get his ring when the game-farm owner fired the shot.  "Then the robber stopped (carving at my finger) and ran outside. Even though the oom (Afrikaners often refer to elderly men such as Cloete as 'uncle' i.e. Oom) had managed to reach his weapon in time, he couldn't have shot the buggers because they were using my son as a shield."  Juandré's mother took him for psychological counselling on Tuesday.
    The robbers fled with André's pistol, two cellphones, R1,000 cash (and the apparatus he uses to measure his blood sugar. Police spokesman constable Johannes Jafta said one suspect had been arrested. http://www.news24.com/News24/South_Africa/News/0,,2-7-1442_2436374,00.html

And this is how the same story was reported in the English-language news media:

Shootout at Cullinan lodge
Johannesburg - A man was shot on Tuesday as he exchanged fire with robbers at a lodge in Cullinan, Pretoria police said.  Constable Sally Skhosana said the man was shot in the stomach and chest by four armed men who were robbing the Kenyaka Lodge in Varkfontein around 01:00. "The man resisted being searched by the robbers who were robbing all the guest houses at the lodge," said Skhosana. Police called to the scene managed to arrest one of the robbers and the other three escaped. The injured man was taken to a nearby hospital. The arrested man was charged with attempted murder and armed robbery and is expected to appear before the Cullinan Magistrate's Court soon.

AFRIKANERS ON PRETORIA SMALLHOLDINGS ARE UNDER SIEGE

This entire greater Pretoria / Kameeldrift / Cullinan area -- where traditionally, working-class Afrikaners often live on subsistence-survival agricultural holdings, is under siege by such armed gangs.   On November 27 2008 - an Afrikaner lawyer was shot dead by gunmen from outside his homestead while sleeping in front of his TV on Nov 26 2008 - and many Afrikaners now are targetted by gunmen in a very similar way. 

THIS IS NO ORDINARY CRIME WAVE...

"This is much more than just an ordinary crime wave," warns Institute for Security Studies senior researcher Dr Johan Burger, a former police commissioner. The entire smallholdings area of greater-Pretoria / Bronkhorstspruit / Cullinan / Kameeldrift have over the past few years become an unprecedented 'murder-site', he noted. These extremely violent armed attacks targetting all these Afrikaans smallholder-families have now reached very serious levels, he warned. Contact him here: General Enquiries. Residents describe these attacks as 'a genocide' and plan lodging formal complaints with the United Nations. They also demand that the National Intelligence Agency instead of local police investigates these attacks because they have lost faith in the police's ability to defend them.

Head of criminal investigations division, Patrick Magonono arrested for farm attacks around greater Pretoria with five colleagues:

They are not being paranoid: there is considerable evidence of police collusion in this attacks: Besides the fact that police often fail to respond to emergency calls from besieged Afrikaner families, on June 26 2008, after an internal police-directorate investigation, SAPS capt. Patrick Magonono, head of the region's Magalies Police CID was arrested together with five colleagues for carrying out armed robberies on the local agricultural smallholdings around greater Pretoria for at least five years...  This case is still pending:  http://www.news24.com/Beeld/Suid-Afrika/0,,3-975_2347984,00.html

Over the past five years, the many tens of thousands of Afrikaner families living at these smallholdings in these regions surrounding greater Pretoria have increasingly barricaded themselves behind electrified fences, high security walls and living in a state of constant siege inside their heavily-secured homes. Often little of any real value is ever stolen during these attacks. The attackers invariably are large, heavily-armed black male gangs.

  • Burger warned:"This situation must be examined much more closely. This isn't just a matter of how some gangs are involved in these attacks - but also exactly what the police is doing proactively to prevent all this. From the latest violent-crime statistics it is very clear that something is very wrong here in this specific smallholdings region,' he added. "These attacks have been going on for a long time and are now growing in intensity and viciousness - since 2001 these attacks on smallholders have doubled and that's an indication that something is badly wrong.' Thus far this year, at least 47 smallholders were killed in this region alone.

Three-hour siege of Legemar family - police took 13 hours to respond...

 Legemar_Job_Cariene9_Dieter13_Nov212008Bronkhorstspruit_FarmAttackThirtyShotsLargeGangOn November 21, the Legemar family was surrounded inside their small Kameeldrift homestead by a gang of at least 10 young black men, all armed with AK47s. The family had already been awake all night because the dogs were barking constantly, they said. Three family members had time to position themselves in various rooms of the house, fighting back with their (only legally-allowed) handguns.

The family, pictured here recovering from their ordeal, was under siege for three hours - and the police ignored their pleas for help throughout.  The homestead was pockmarked with holes from 30 high-calibre bullets and all the windows were shot out, the Afrikaans journalist reported. The SA police insists on referring to such armed attacks of white-owned smallholdings and suburban homes as 'robberies', although often, no attempt is made to steal anything of real value: for instance the unlocked Legemar family car was parked inside the electrified perimetre-fence and remained untouched. The attackers had all crawled beneath this dangerous fence, electrified with 20 strands,  to get into the family compound. It took police 13 hours to respond to the family's pleas  for help.

Picture: Job Legemar, 48, youngstest children Cariene, 9 and Dieter 13 - recovering from the armed three hour siege by a large group of black gunmen which surrounded their homestead. While the family shot back and escaped unharmed, two of their guard dogs were shot dead and one dog also was poisoned before the well-planned attack by a very large gang. Picture: Beeld, Theana Calitz

"It was warfare here last night. We are happy we are all still alive,' said Mrs Ineke Legemar, 47, after the siege on their homestead. The parents and their five children, Cor, 21, Willemien, 20, Petra, 16, Dieter, 13 and Cariene 9 had a miraculous escape, they all believe. And they also know it won't be the last time... such attackers often come back with reinforcements... "We believe they came here to kill us, it was a murder attack,' said Mr Legemar. http://www.news24.com/Beeld/Suid-Afrika/0,,3-975_2430766,00.html

Neighbour Laetitia Prinsloo shot dead two nights before:

The Legemar family homestead is located only 3km from the heavily-barricaded home of Dr Duncan Prinsloo, 61, shot in his back and critically injured two nights earlier during an identical armed attack in which his wife Laetitia, 54, was shot dead.

By December 2 2008 - a total of 3,020 white rural Afrikaners have been murdered in an identical manner since 1994, according to the commercial farming associations Agri-SA and the Transvaal Agricultural Union.

Only sleep two hours a night... We live in utter fear here...

Young_Afrikaners A neighbour of Dr Prinsloo of Vaalbank, whose wife Laetitia was shot dead last week, said: "I only sleep about two hours each night now Each little sound has me get up to check if anything is wrong. "We live in utter fear here - but we have no place else to flee to. I don't want to run away...'

Police took two hours to show up... Prinsloo son:

  • The attacked Prinsloo couple's grieving son, Prinsloo jr. said: "The police are not getting this under control, so the only thing we can now start doing is to take the law into our own hands, start taking care of our own defence,' said Dr Frans Prinsloo junior of Vaalbank. "We can't go on living like this. They are murdering all of us at this going rate.'  He said he also was 'bitterly angry' about the very poor reaction time of the police when his parents were gunned down. He phoned 10111 at once after getting their emergency call.  It took him a full half-an-hour to explain to the people at the police switchboard how to get to his parents' smallholding... 'Police officers should have knowledge of their patrol areas - but it took then them a full two hours to finally show up.' http://www.news24.com/Beeld/Suid-Afrika/0,,3-975_2430750,00.html

They come armed just to kill you in your sleep...

Moodie_Peter_Benoni_lawyer_shotdead_inFrontOfTV_cellphonerobbedNov272008 20081126 Peter Moodie, lawyer, Benoni Shot Dead in front of TV
Nov 26 2008 Beeld journalist Gloria Edwards reports that a Benoni family had decided against emigration to the UK just two months ago because "South Africa was so lekker (nice)"... Last night laywer Peter Moodie, 36, father of two small children, was shot dead while he'd fallen asleep in front of the TV in his home in Honibal Street, Rynfield.A ll the valuables in the house were left untouched - only his cellphone was robbed.

His widow Beulah, 35, and the children Connor, 7 and Morgan, 4, were asleep in their bedrooms and apparently didn't hear any shots. A pillow was apparently used to muffle the sound, said police constable Godin Nyathi. Of course no-one was arrested. Mrs Moodie said she woke up when she heard her husband scream in Afrikaans: "I will kill you, I will kill you...'

"I ran to him and found him on the floor next to the bar. He did not respond to my calls but was breathing. "Initially I thought he'd fainted or was stabbed, because I saw no blood. Then I saw the gunshot wound in his belly and picked feathers from the pillow he was holding. They must have shot him through the pillow.' She suspects that he chased the attackers from the house and then collapsed at the bar in the living room. "He wanted to protect us,' she said. He died  on the scene. He worked in the steel industry.She said her husband liked watching TV until late at night and falling asleep on the couch.Two months ago the couple decided not to emigrate. "We were determined to emigrate to the UK, but then we decided against it because we thought things were too 'lekker' in South Africa."And now look what has happened. "Crime isn't just crime any more, it's pure malice. They come armed just to kill you in your sleep, for no reason at all."http://www.news24.com/Beeld/Suid-Afrika/0,,3-975_2433219,00.html

 Opposition MP John Goodall 'angry' after attack at Bedfordview home - shot missed his son, visiting from UK

Goodall_Brian_DA ParliamentarianFilePic_AttackedSonFiredAtNov212008BedfordviewHome Nov 21 2008 - BEDFORDVIEW -- Beeld journalist Cobus Coetzee reports that Democratic-Alliance parliamentarian Brian Goodall was attacked with his family in their home at the East Rand. His son Peter-John and daughter-in-law Jessica were visiting from the UK at the time. It was Jessica's first time in SA and she was  already talking about wanting to move here,' he said. (Contact him at estrasnd@democratic-alliance.co.za ")  I doubt if she'll still feel this way after this experience...' he added.

  • Was this a warning?

Perhaps not by coincidence - his party has just announced that it was lodging a formal complaint with the Independent Electoral Commission, demanding that South Africans abroad be given voting rights through the foreign embassies during the forthcoming presidential. Both the Democratic Alliance and the Freedom Front Plus would benefit greatly if South Africans abroad could vote. At the previous election, only the foreign affairs officers and their families could cast their votes - all the other hundreds of thousands of self-exiled South Africans were denied all voting rights at the embassies . By this year, there are at least 1,5-million mostly 'white' South Africans disenfranchised, all people who had to emigrate to find jobs. Yet under the much-praised 'non-racial' SA Constitution, all South Africans must be given fair access to the right to vote.  http://www.da.org.za/?p=1028  http://www.da.org.za/

  • I am angry - Goodall: About the attack at his family home last night, Goodall said: "One keeps on believing that you will only read in the newspapers about such crimes, but now we feel very unsafe inside our own home, and I am angry,' he said. Five armed black men in their early twenties broke into their home at around 2:45 am after climbing across the rear wall, cutting off the burglar bars in the dining room and breaking in. They were armed with two handguns, and forced Goodall and wife Lesley into their bedroom, ordering them to lie down on their stomachs with their faces to the floor.

Shot fired at son: Meanwhile Peter-John and his wife had heard the commotion and started walking  downstairs from the second floor bedroom. "When my son walked down the wooden stairs, one of the armed men shot at Peter-John. The shot missed my son, hitting the stairs,' Goodall said.

  • The four were tied up with their hands behind their backs for about half-an-hour. The five men stole stole all their passports, cellphones, bankcards and an unknown amount of cash. The Goodalls have lived in the same house for the past 34 years. The last breakin was 15 years ago.
  • Police spokeswoman Nhlanhla Makoba claims that they are 'investigating a complaint of housebreaking'.She said nothing about the attempted murder charge which should also be investigated since a shot was fired at Mr Peter-John Goodall.

Lijkenpikker verkoopt borst en hand van dode Nederlandse touriste aan toverdokter

Politie: ‘De Nederlandse vrouw had ‘zeer goed verzorgde nagels’…

Toverdokters reclame in Zuid Afrika Juni 30 2009 – BOSBOKRAND.  De dood van een Nederlandse touriste die vier weken geleden in Zuid-Afrika samen met haar reisgenoot stierf in een botsing in Lydenburg. vier uur na aankomst in Zuid-Afrika, heeft een lugubere nasleep.

Een medewerker van het plaatselijke mortuarium beweerde gisteren in een bekentenis aan de ZA politie in Bosbokrand dat hij een borst en een hand van deze onbekende blanke Nederlandse vrouw bij de ongeluksscene had afgesneden met een 'ritueel mes''. Het lijk zelf werd daarna gecremeerd en de as naar Nederland gestuurd.

De zelf-erkende lijkenpikker, Bongadi geheten, had de ‘geoogste’ borst en de hand van de verongelukte vrouw onmiddellijk doorverkocht aan een zogeheten 'pastoor' met de naam Maloyi voor 80 Euro.

Deze 'pastoor’ Maloyi, had op zijn zijn beurt weer geprobeerd om de lichaamsdelen aan een toverdokter (een zgn. 'sangoma")  in Acornhoek dichtbij het populaire Kruger Wildreservaat te verkopen voor R3,500 (350 Euro). Deze sangoma schakelde echter onmiddellijk de politie in en beiden mannen werden ingerekend door een speciale taakmacht van de politie hetwelk zich specifiek bezighoudt met het onderzoeken van rituele moorden en lichamelijke verminkingen voor het vervaardigen van muti – tovermedicijnen. De meeste muti wordt verkocht om zakenondernemingen meer ‘succes’ te verzekeren, maar criminologen in ZA waarschuwen ook dat de FIFA WK2010 tournooien ook de vraag naar zulke medicijnen laat stijgen.. Zie

  • Maloyi bekende tijdens zijn verhoor dat hij de vrouwelijke  lichaamsdelen van Bongadi, een medewerker bij het "Dove" prive-mortuarium in Lydenburg, had gekocht voor R800, ongeveer tachtig Euro. Bongadi draagt volgens de politie specifiek voor dit doel schijnbaar een handgemaakt  'ritueel mes' met zich mee om in de nu zeer sterk-groeiende markt voor lichaamsonderdelen te kunnen voorzien. En de ‘pastoor’ die ze aankocht,  probeerde de lichaamsdelen van de Nederlandse vrouw weer door te verkopen aan de sangoma in Acornshoek voor 3,500 Rand – zo’n 350 Euro.

De onderzoekende beampte in deze zaak, een specialist in dit onderwerp, is kapitein Hlathi. Zijn telefoonnummer is Zuid Afrika 27 ( 0) 82 462 0804. Hij verzoekt dat mensen die vermiste familieleden in Mpumalanga, Zuid-Afrika zoeken,  ook contact met hem kunnen opnemen. De Nederlandse familie van de verminkte Nederlandse touriste kunnen hem daar ook bereiken i.v.m. het nog steeds voortdurende politieonderzoek. De vrouw’s naam werd niet door de politie vrijgegeven.

Het is niet onwettig om lichaamsdelen van mensen te bezitten - maar lijkschennis is wel onwettig in Zuid-Afrika.

WK2010 heeft sterkere Muti-medicijnen nodig…

Muti winkel in Johannesburg De vraag naar zulke dure, zeer speciale 'toverfortuin-medicijnen' neemt nu reusachtig toe wegens de FIFA WK2010 voetbaltournamenten die volgend jaar in Zuid-Afrika worden gehouden.

De 'geoogste' lichaamsdelen worden door sommige ‘sangomas’ verwerkt in (zeer dure) tovermedicijnen, de zgn. muti, vervaardigd door toverdokters. Meestal worden mensen vermoord en hun lichaamsdelen 'geoogst' voor dit doel.

De twee gearresteerde mannen zitten nu in een politiecel hun rechtszaak in het Lydenburgse magistraatshof af te wachten. Ze zijn al een keer voorgekomen en hebben de misdaad volgens de politie al bekend, schrijft het dagblad Beeld.

De politie moet echter nog steeds juridisch kunnen bewijzen via forensische- en DNA-testen van wie de lichaamsdelen specifiek waren en dit zou wel eens moeilijk kunnen worden: de vrouw's stoffelijk overschot werd gecremeerd voor verscheping naar Nederland. Een frappant detail zou kunnen helpen om de vrouw juridisch te kunnen identificeren: de afgehakte hand had 'perfect verzorgde nagels,' volgens de politie.

Meer blanke slachtoffers vermoord voor muti dit jaar

Tot dusver beperkte de zeer profijtelijke ondergrondse handel in lichaamsdelen voor muti zich grotendeels tot zwarte slachtoffers in Zuid-Afrika. Politie-experts zeggen dat de lichaamsdelen van gemiddeld 200 zwarte mensen per jaar voor muti worden ‘geoogst’. Maar sedert het begin van de Confederation Cup voetbal-tournamenten in Zuid-Afrika in de aanloop naar de FIFA Wereldbeker dit jaar, werd dit patroon opeens heel anders: dit jaar werden er al minstens vier gevallen bekend waartijdens Zuidafrikaanse blanken – twee Afrikaner-agrariërs en een Afrikaner moeder en dochter -- ook op zeer gruwzame wijze werden afgeslacht en hun lichaamsdelen geoogst voor deze 'geluksmedicijnen'.

Er wordt jaarlijks vele miljoenen verdiend aan deze lugubere ondergrondse markt, vooral geslachtsdelen zijn reusachtig populair in de vele tienduizenden ‘muti-winkels’ die Zuid-Afrika rijk zijn.

Politiekapitein Leonard Hlathi, een ZA politieagent die succes behaalde om zulke lijkenpikkers berecht te krijgen in de provincie Mpumalanga, zegt dat er zo’n  200 zwarte mensen per jaar vermoord levend gevild worden om hun lichaamsdelen 'te oogsten'.

Meestal zwarte slachtoffers – tot 2009:

Meestal willen de toverdokters zulke 'medicijnen' bovendien alleen aanmaken nadat ze geoogst werden terwijl de slachtoffers hiertijdens nog leefden.  Naar bewering zouden deze 'medicijnen' een sterkere kracht hebben als de slachtoffers zeer grote pijn en angst beleefden tijdens de urenlange martelingen. Lichaamsdelen uit mortuaria zij minder waard.

Ten spijte van deze lugubere moordpartijen die hiertoe worden aangericht, worden er echter maar zeer weinig mensen daadwerkelijk berecht --  omdat veel politieagenten zo bijgelovig zijn dat ze niet wagen om zulke mensen te ondervragen of voor een rechter te slepen. Kapitein Hlathi kreeg dit echter wel voor elkaar: dit jaar werd door zijn toedoen drie mannen gearresteerd en berecht voor een muti moord van een familielid in opdracht van een toverdokter. De toverdokter zelf werd echter niet aangeklaagd noch gearresteerd.
