Racist attacks in traffic: hard to prove

http://bit.ly/pMj4ij  -- In South Africa  a great many people also are often intentionally killed or attacked in traffic, also by the policing-authorities. Many Afrikaner "whites" are being run down and killed in public by so-called hit and run drivers and just recorded as traffic-fatalities: unless someone had the courage to come forward to testify about the incidents. World-famous Olympic swimming champion Nathalie du Toit for instance, became disabled when her scooter was run over by a ‘hit-and-run taxi driver’. These racist murders and attacks in traffic can however hardly ever be proven. Some are listed below.

In South Africa, road traffic fatalities and homicide account for a significant proportion of non-natural deaths (National Injury Mortality Surveillance System (NIMMS, 2005). South Africa’s homicide rate of 72.5 per 100,000 population (2007) is about five times the world average of 14.0 per 100,000 population and the road traffic death rate of 43.0 per 100,000 population is twice the world average of 21.6 per 100,000 population (WHO, 2002). 2007 SAPS statistics indicated an annual increase in violent crimes in the country (e.g. murder, carjacking and robbing). The exceptionally high levels of violent crime sets South Africa apart internationally (McCafferty, 2003). The United Nations survey of 69 countries from 2001 already revealed South Africa to be second to Columbia: as having one of the highest firearm-related homicide rates worldwide (Schonteich & Louw, 2001). Egger (1993) argued that homicide, the most serious form of violent crime, is likely the most reliable index of violence in a society given its high report rate. Extending this view, Whitlock (1971) proposes that both homicide and roadtraffic fatalities (in SA registered as 'culpible homicides') are manifestations of ‘violent societies’. Defined as ‘violent deaths’, homicide and road traffic fatalities are the leading categories of non-natural deaths in South Africa.'  Also: the study: “The Relationship between Homicides and Road Traffic Fatalities” by the SA Medical Research Council

Anton Vermeulen, security worker, father of three run down and killed on his bicycle by red hit-and-run vehicle, July 6 2011, Brakpan, Dirk van der Hoff Street, between 9 – 9.30pm

Vermeulen Anton security guard father of 3 run down on bike BrakpanJuly6201115 July 2011. BRAKPAN – source: LookLocal.co.za journalist Thelma Koorts. As has only come to light a week later,  Anton Vermeulen, the hardworking Afrikaner dad of three young children, was run down and killed while pedalling home on his bicycle after buying a bread for his family. The red car which hit and killed him is nowhere to be found. Police say they merely are investigating a case of ‘culpible homicide’ – not murder.

His heartbroken mom Hannetjie Oberholzer (43) said her son ran his own security company. He had no car, travelling everywhere on his trusty pedal-bike. People knew him as very reliable in his work, she said. Many people in Brakpan knew the friendly young Afrikaner: who used to work as a low-paid carguard until he got into the security business. Pieces of the red car which hit the white man and then just drove away, were found at the scene. "Anton worked very hard to look after his wife Nicolene and the three daughters Nadia (9), Sonja (7) and Hannetjie (5). We will picked up a bread at scene where he died; he probably bought it earlier that night.’  His funeral took place Wednesday July 13 2011."   http://www.looklocal.co.za/looklocal/content/en/brakpan/brakpan-news-general?oid=4529420&sn=Detail&pid=490015&Pa-van-drie-jong-kinders-sterf

Far-left  is convicted taxi-driver Percyval Matji, 31, found guilty Sept 10, 2009 at Pretoria Regional Court of murdering 15 -year-old Afrikaans pupil Bernadine Kruger, right,  in Pretoria on 23 Feb 2009. Matji, the court ruled, had deliberately used his taxi to kill her: bumper-riding the white child’s scooter very aggressively across two lanes, causing her to crash, and then he deliberately ran over her with his taxi once more. Initially this was logged as a ‘culpible homicide’ – but due to the insistence of the Freedom Front Plus,  and the many drivers who witnessed this horrific event, the driver was charged and found guilty of murder. Was its category ever changed so that it could be included in the SAPS’ murder-statistics? We don’t know. Anyhow, on Friday, September 11 2009, Matji was found guilty of murder and reckless driving. Handing down judgment magistrate Edmund Patterson said: “It was not a mistake. It was not negligence. It was murder. Matji deliberately followed Ms Kruger and wanted her out of his way. Matji made a lethal weapon of his vehicle by driving at speeds far exceeding the limit’…http://www.arrivealive.co.za/news.aspx?s=1&i=1231  http://censorbugbear-reports.blogspot.com/2009/08/bernadine-krugers-accused-taxi-murderer.html

20090717 Gang steals (traffic-accident-) disabled Dr Ceval Mills’ patented electronic voice simulator, shoot down his dad Dr Neville Mills, 63 - critically injuring him…

Jul 19 2009 Hilda Fourie of Beeld newspaper reported: ‘Are you happy now?”screamed the armed gangster afer gunning down Dr Neville Mills  Senior of Evander. Dr Mills was gunned down and critically injured when he came running from his room after his wife Ria, 61, shouted when a gunman threatened to shoot their nearly totally disabled son Dr Cival Mills, 34. Dr MIlls has been unable to move anyuthing except his eyes and thumb/index finger of his left hand ever since he was injured in a traffic ‘accident’ outside Shongwe Hospital near Malalane, where he worked as a rural doctor.Mills Dr Ceval disabled gunmen steal his patented voicecommunicator July 19 2009

The accident’s injuries left him with the locked-in syndrome (a neurological complication whereby a patient loses all voluntary muscle function except for the ability to move the eyelids).  He gained fame two years ago as the winner of Mpumalanga province’s Fundza for Fun(Reading is Fun) writers’ competition for his book “This too will pass’, which sold out its first printing within just weeks. It took him four years to write the book on a laptop computer using his thumb and index finger. He also developed a computer mouse enabling himself to type just as quickly as he did before he was disabled.  For the three years before he was attacked, he managed to hold down a job as a researcher at the medical aid schemes Momentum Health and Discovery Health. He developed an electronic voice simulator with which he communicates – and which was robbed. This innovative, self-designed IT apparatus functions with controls that are activated with only the thumb and forefinger of his left hand and which he has named Thingy. He was also working full-time to develop two different IT devices that will make computers more user-friendly for other disabled people with (extreme) limited hand function. A patent has been registered on his first design Thingy --  and a grant was approved by the Department of Trade and Industry for its development and marketing. He is currently registering and developing the second device, which he has called Penpal. Mrs Mill’s daughter Mrs Madie Dittrich, a Pretoria lawyer, said the first words to her mom and disbled brother by the robber gang as they stormed into the Mills home were: “Do you want to die today"?”  They ripped off Cival’s patented cellphone he designed himself, and which he wore around his neck, and pushed a handgun to his head.

  • “They told my mom they are going to shoot Cival dead. My mom screamed, and this alerted my dad who was on his bed. He jumped up and rushed to the living room – and when the gunmen saw him they shot him down. Then they screamed at my mother ‘Are you happy now?’

While Neville Mills was lying on the floor, bleeding and critically injured, the gunmen calmly took the family cellphones and laptop-computers and strolled out of the sliding door they had broken through to get into the house. Her brother still tried to push the gangsters with his wheelchair but her mother intervened, stopping him from doing so, Mrs Dittrich said. Neville was rushed to Unitas Hospital where one kidney was removed during a six-hour surgical procedure and his stomach, which also was struck by the bullet, required repairs. Mrs Dittrich said that her mom and brother are very traumatised. Police supt. Abie Khoabane confirmed ‘the incident’ and said nobody was arrested.

Magdel Steyn, attacked by aggressive Pretoria traffic cops – caught on candid camera

Magdel Steyn was merely parking her car when the lone Afrikaans woman was arrested by an aggressive Pretoria police force in front of a huge crowd --  but the abusive cops were caught on camera by Afriforum civil rights movement…

March 14 2010 – PRETORIA  AfriForum has released shocking visual material of Pretoria metro male police officers unlawfully yanking around an Afrikaans woman in front of a large crowd and then illegally arresting her. Her ‘crime?” – she was accused of double-parking at a private parking lot…

  • During the broadcasting of the M-Net programme, Carte Blanche, on Sunday 14 March 2010, the story of the 24 year-old Magdel Steyn was told. She was arrested in front of her relatives by the (Pretoria) Metro Police on a fake charge of “reckless and negligent driving” -- after allegedly double-parking at a privately-owned parking lot. It’s not known why the Pretoria metropolitan police were present in such large numbers just to arrest one defenceless Afrikaans woman who had done nothing wrong.

Nantes Kelder, head of community safety of AfriForum, the visual material shows shocking images of Steyn’s human rights being violated under the pretense of a very minor traffic violation. “AfriForum has already discussed the matter with Mr Francois Beukman, the Executive Director of the Independent Complaints Directorate (ICD). The incident is regarded in a serious light and the ICD will investigate it further,” Kelder said. AfriForum’s legal team also served a letter of complant to the Head of the Metro Police, Commissioner Mutle. In the letter AfriForum asks for the latter’s undertaking that action will be taken against the metro police members involved immediately. AfriForum also demanded that these members should be suspended, or be withdrawn from active policing duties.  Kelder encouraged members of the public to tell their stories about incidents of power abuse by police members at http://www.afriforum.co.zaALL THE PICTURES: http://www.afriforum.co.za/?p=4473
