2010-08-07 Unarmed Louis Rothschild, father of one-year-old boy, murdered, Blairgowrie, Randburg 

8 Aug 2010 BLAIRGOWRIE, RANDBURG. Police were on Sunday searching for four  murderers who gunned down Louis Rothschild in his Blairgowrie, Randburg home at suppertime on Saturday-night. The armed black gunmen attacked the young family inside their home while they were having supper. SAPS spokeswoman Cynthia Mogoai blamed the victim: she said he ‘was shot when he tried to push the panic button. They shot him in the upper body and he died on the scene”. The four blacks then strolled out tagain, only taking along Rotshchild’s wallet and a cellphone, leaving other easy-to-steal valuables behind. His cousin Lance said the family was shocked and devastated. ”He was the most awesome young man. It is senseless and it is theft of life. There was no need to kill him. The people who do this take away so much more. A father of a one-year-old boy shot for nothing,” http://bit.ly/91Iu0X and http://www.nuus24.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Inbrekers-skiet-man-in-huis-dood-

East Cape youth, 17, found hanged; fingertips, right side face cut off

2010-08-08 Johannesburg - A 17-year-old boy was found hanging with his body parts chopped off on Sunday in Mthatha, in what seemed to be a muti related killing, Eastern Cape police said. He was hung inside his shack at Ntshele township in Zimbane. The right side of his nose, ears and cheeks were also cut off," Colonel Mzukisi Fatyela said. The boy was killed late on Saturday night and found by relatives on Sunday morning. He was living alone in the shack. Fatyela said the boy's fingertips were also snipped off."We don't know what instruments were used to perform this terrible act...this is definitely a muti-related killing," he said. 20100808 http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Boys-fingertips-cut-off-20100808

Aug 6 2010 – Mrs Chrissie Harmzen, 70, murdered Burgersfort, Mpumalanga – battered to death for a cellphone and a bunch of keys…

Mrs Chrissie Harmzen, 70, died of her injuries at Midmed Hospital in Middelburg a day after the unarmed grandmother – a small woman disabled by rheumatoid arthritis -- was viciously attacked while stepping outside her Burgersfort home on Friday-morning to catch a bit of sunshine..

She had just finished speaking to her daughter-in-law Lena by phone, telling her that she was ‘cold and was going outside to warm up a bit in the sunshine’. As Mra Harmzen stepped outside with her five Jack Russell dogs, she was attacked. The frail old Afrikaans lady was viciously assaulted with the assailants bashing away at her face and chest chest – even so, she still managed to push an emergency button before the attackers fled with her cellphone and a bunch of ouse keys.  This remains a mystery: It’s really not clear why anybody would want to steal housekeys but they are often stolen during such attacks..Her husband Jan is heartbroken. Their daughter Mrs Marlene Fick said her parents ‘just lived only for one another, they were close partners for life’. When Lena phoned the old lady, an unknown man had answered her cellphone instead. “I couldn’t make out what he said. So I phoned him back and he said he was Lucas.’ I then called my dad who confirmed that my mom had just been attacked. I called her stolen phone again and told the man who answered it that he was a coward. Why didn’t he just take her phone? My mother is a tiny woman who was bent over from rheumatoid arthritis. They could just have taken the phone. It wasn’t necessary to assault her so viciously.’ Her traumatised widower said the murder-attack was motivated ‘not by hunger, but by pure evil anger’. Mrs Harmzen is survived by Jan, their three children and seven grandchildren. .http://www.rapport.co.za/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Ouma-sterf-na-wrede-aanval-helder-oordag-20100807

MAP - ATTACKS AGAINST ‘WHITES’ FROM MAY 1 2010 – AUGUST 8 2010:

The largest number of attacks targetting "whites" took place in Gauteng province, with 144 incidents - notably also
right through the entire World Cup 2010 period, when the SAPS censored publication of most crime-reports....

Notoriously the most unsafe areas -- especially for low-income working-class Afrikaners who cannot afford expensive security installations -- are the Kameeldrift/Leeuwfontein/Boschkop smallholdings around Pretoria. These smallholders have been living in virtual war-siege conditions for at least five years and with severely reduced police protection, are having to wage frequent battles during hour-long sieges by armed black-male attack groups, also according to the records on http://censorbugbear-reports.blogspot.com/.

One Afrikaner couple was also murdered on an island belonging to  Madagaskar, the primarily Islamic Indian-ocean island where the murder-rate is usually very low. The motives for this double murder of this couple, which had bought a property there several years earlier, remain murky.

  • Mpumalanga province showed the second-largest numbers of attacks and racist incidents targetting Afrikaners specifically - with 89 incidents.
  • In North West province, a peak of farm-attacks also occurred: mostly thwarted by skilled volunteer-farm protection units whose members also citizen-arrested four on-duty SAPS officers for actively participating in these attacks. Their trials still are in the bail-application stage.
  • Northern Cape remains the province with the lowest number of attacks targetting 'whites' - three since May 1 2010. The Western and Eastern Cape combined recorded a total of 25 attacks both against white English- and Afrikaans-speakers.  It’s notable how often the SAPS failed to report these very violent crimes to the news media: in one notorious recent rape of a 65-year-old widow in Pinetown, Cape Town, the local community-security officials had reported the rape.

SAPS RELIES HEAVILY ON HIGH LEVEL OF CITIZEN-ARRESTS BY UNPAID VOLUNTEER PATROLS:

  • The SAPS also seems to rely increasingly on bringing criminals to justice primarily through “citizen-arrests” carried out by unpaid volunteer-citizens who patrol the streets day and night in many suburbs. There is a high level of interest from residents countrywide in active hands-on participation and undertaking street patrols through their local  community- and street-watch unpaid volunteer units. There also is an notable increase in the estrangement between the SA Police Service and many of these local community-groups – with taxpayer organisations and invididual citizens having thus far this year, lodged more than 11,000 formal complaints with the Independent Complaints Directorate about specific criminal activities by SA Police members ranging from armed robbery, rape to murder and extortion or bribery attempts. 
  • KwaZulu-Natal recorded several gruesome murders of English-speaking whites with the Lizamore couple, journalists/editors and founders of several newspapers, murdered without much international media attention and one elderly UK-born couple was murdered on a KZN-smallholding, reported only in the provincial news media outlets.

Krugersdorp – Noordheuwel: alleged murder of unknown woman in high-security complex: unconfirmed

Aug 6 2010 - a new message was posted on a community safety board on Saturday, August 7 2010:
"Vanoggend tussen 02h30 en 03h00 is 'n vrou wat in ons kompleks hier in Noordheuwel bly, vermoor. Volgens ons sekuriteitswag, het twee swartes by haar eenheid ingebr...eek deur die diefwering oop te buig, haar dogter (wat in matriek is) vasgebind, en toe die vrou hoor daar gaan iets in die huis aan en uit haar kamer uit kom om ondersoek in te stel, het een van die bliksems haar dood geskiet. Dit is al besonderhede wat  ek op die oomblik het.Ons is diep geskok. Hierdie was nog altyd 'n veilige kompleks met "guarded access control" en "roaming guards".

Plot to recruit soldiers from Burundi to destabilise KZN province by burning down schools and hospitals

2010-08-06 - Durban – A bizarre plot has come to light in the Pinetown Regional Court on Friday – with a  self-admitted SAPS informer claiming that there was a plot to ‘recruit soldiers from Burundi to destabilise KZN province’  by burning down schools and hospitals. Also, an “amputated hand” was going to be used to assassinate KwaZulu-Natal Premier Dr Zweli Mkhize. Advocate Mluleki Chiti made these claims, speaking as the legal counsel representing two of five people accused of plotting to kill Mkhize.

  • Chiti, representing Themba Xaba and Sizwe Mkhize (no relation to premier Zweli Mkhize), did not explain how the limb would be used in the murder. It is however common knowledge that body parts are sometimes used as muti when people commit crime. The State allegedly is also investigating Sizwe Mkhize for ‘trying to recruit soldiers from Burundi to destabilise the province of KZN’. Chiti claimed that the “body part “was found at Mkhize’s flat in Durban a day before he was arrested with Xaba, Jackson Chili, Mlungisi Xulu, and Sthembiso Mthembu as they were allegedly on their way to kill the premier.  Chiti said “police took the hand, and that Mkhize was not arrested on that day because he explained to police it was going to be used by "certain people" plotting to kill the premier. “However the five accused claim that other people had hatched the plan – and that they were merely ordered to carry it out. The five accused plotters have thus far refused to divulge the names of these alleged plotters during their bail application hearing, which was expected to be concluded next Tuesday. Investigating officer Sbusiso Zungu said “something was taken from Mkhize’s flat, but said it was not a human body part.”The court also heard that ‘Chiti’s clients “had told the SAPS about the people who were involved in the plot as far back as 2009. Mkhize last month told the court he was a police spy, a claim dismissed by police, who said he was “not on the register of informers.”  The court on Friday heard it was unclear whether Sizwe Mkhize was investigated for allegedly trying to recruit soldiers from Burundi to destabilise the province.Investigating officer Sbusiso Zungu said that he ‘was not sure whether there is any investigation with regards to that matter," Zungu said.The five accused men face charges of possession of illegal firearms and ammunition and conspiracy to commit murder.SAPA http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Amputated-hand-in-Mkhize-plot-20100806

White woman, 65, raped in upperclass Pinelands, Cape Town home – police fail to report to the news media…

CAPE TOWN. In a rape which was initially hushed up by the local cops, the upperclass residents of Pinelands are reeling after an elderly white widow was allegedly raped in her home by a man who made her cover her face so she couldn't identify him and then forced her to wash herself to get rid of DNA-evidence. The woman's house is well-secured but it is believed the rapist sawed through the Trellidoor-type burglar bars last Saturday night, the night before the attack, while the 65-year-old woman was out. He then returned around 8.30am on Sunday and entered through the bathroom window, surprising the woman.After raping the woman, the man left taking her computer and cellphone.The traumatised woman, who lives alone, is now on anti-retrovirals to prevent transfer of the AIDS-virus. More than 70% of the young black males in South Africa are infected with the HIV-virus. John Berry, chairman of the Pinelands Residents and Ratepayers' Association and the Community Police Forum, said the attack was very worrying. Police were treating it as "hush hush" and had not issued a press release."But we can't let it be swept under the carpet."  Berry said there had not been violent crime in Pinelands for some time. "We mostly have kids robbed of their cellphones but nothing horrendous like this."Brian Watkyns, the ward councillor for Pinelands, claimed he “was not aware of any rapes with a similar modus operandi in the area.”Police Inspector Mrs Tando Sonjica said no arrest had been made. Kathleen Dey, director of Rape Crisis, said that while they dealt mainly with victims, not perpetrators, the rape did not appear to be opportunistic and the rapist sounded like someone likely to strike again.This article was originally published on page 5 of Cape Argus on August 07, 2010 http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=15&art_id=vn20100807084136489C332744

Map: attacks against S.African whites from May 1 2010

The largest number of attacks targetting "whites" took place in Gauteng province, with 144 incidents - notably also right through the entire World Cup 2010 period, when the SAPS censored publication of most crime-reports. The Farmitracker.com website was launched from May 1 2010, specifically to monitor unreported crimes during the WC2010 period.

Notoriously the most unsafe areas in South Africa-- especially for low-income working-class Afrikaners who are legally denied all access to the labour market, and cannot afford expensive security installations -- are the Kameeldrift/Leeuwfontein/Boschkop smallholdings around Pretoria. These smallholders have been living in virtual war-siege conditions for at least five years and faced with severely reduced police protection – (one entire SAPS CID unit in this area was also arrested for participating in these farm attacks), are having to wage frequent battles during hour-long sieges by armed black-male attack groups, also according to the records on http://censorbugbear-reports.blogspot.com/.

Afrikaner couple murdered on Madagaskar island

One Afrikaner couple was also murdered on an island belonging to  Madagaskar, the primarily Islamic Indian-ocean island where the murder-rate is usually very low. The motives for this double murder of this couple, which had bought a property there several years earlier, remain murky.

Mpumalanga province showed the second-largest numbers of attacks and racist incidents targetting Afrikaners specifically - with 89 incidents.

In North West province, a peak of farm-attacks also occurred: mostly thwarted by skilled volunteer-farm protection units whose members also citizen-arrested four on-duty SAPS officers for actively participating in these attacks. Their trials still are in the bail-application stage.

Northern Cape remains the province with the lowest number of attacks targetting 'whites' - three since May 1 2010 – but this province also is the most scarcely populated. The Western and Eastern Cape combined recorded a total of 25 attacks both against white English- and Afrikaans-speakers.  It’s also that the SAPS very often failed to report these very violent crimes to the news media until they were asked to confirm them: in one notorious recent rape of a 65-year-old widow in Pinetown, Cape Town, the local community-security officials had reported the rape – not the police.

SAPS RELIES HEAVILY ON HIGH LEVEL OF CITIZEN-ARRESTS BY UNPAID VOLUNTEER PATROLS: INCREASED SAPS CRIMINALITY ALSO REPORTED…
