 2011-03-30 - Police investigating the murder-scene of 70-year-old smallholder Johannes Senekal  in Roodepoort on 21 March, refused to open a murder-docket: claiming there had been 'no crime'. Yet the murder suspect -- the now duly arrested casual worker Jabulani Khambuli, 23, of Diepsloot -- stood right next to the investigating police team with a scratched face – and they never asked the worker any questions.

Mr Senekal was murdered in the double-story smallholding home of his niece, Magdel Daniel and her husband Kobus on March 21 2011. The Daniel couple were in Warmbaths ('Bela-Bela') at the time: another worker phoned them and warned that 'Uncle Boetie wasn't breathing any longer'. The Daniel couple phoned the police, paramedics and neighbours. They told Beeld newspaper that the worker who alerted them had become suspicious because the lights weren't on, and Mr Senekal was lying half underneath his bed with cuts to his chin - and electronic equipment was strewn all around him. Missing were his two cellphones, his wallet and a camera.

Mr Daniel was phoned back by the police upon the arrival of the two investigating officers, a sergeant and a captain: who informed them that there 'had been no crime' and “that they would not be opening a murder-investigation docket."
The police sergeant allegedly said in this telephone conversation that “there were 'no signs of any struggle or forced entry-signs at the house; that they refused to open a murder-investigation docket; and that they would not let  the coroner remove the body.'

The Daniel-couple immediately rushed back to Roodepoort - and discovered that casual worker Khambuli had been 'painting' at the house when it was a holiday, yet that he had most definitely not been asked to work that day. The couple contacted the private detective-agency of ex-SAPS detectives Bushie Engelbrecht and Piet Byleveld, who launched an independent investigation.

Questioning of witnesses revealed that the suspected murderer had been standing at the murder-scene with scratch-marks on his face, and yet the police never questioned him.

Khambuli was arrested the following Thursday-afternoon and made a full confession in front of a Roodepoort magistrate, who postponed the murder-case to 5 April for a bail-application. Meanwhile Beeld was given the undertaking by the police's provincial PRO Lt.kol. Lungelo Dlamini that 'an internal investigation will be launched into the handling of the case by the two police members at the scene'. A memorial service wase held for the murdered man in the NG church Muldersdrift on March 30 2011. http://www.beeld.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Verdagte-by-toe-polisie-se-Gn-onraad-20110330

 

Boer balladeer Steve Hofmeyr: more death threats

AfrikanerBoer human-rights activist Steve Hofmeyr gets frequent death threats -  http://bit.ly/eT1cP4

------------------

Today, one year ago: Pretoria, South Africa. source: The Afrikaner Journal. Today a year ago, within minutes after the e-tv programThirdDegree, the facebook page for the popular SA television show was abuzz with comments about the interview.

 

Debora Patta, the feisty reporter of the very popular news program, had planned to interview several well known persons ‘who'd made racist comments in the recent past’.   An ANC youth league representative, Black Management Forum director Manyi  and Steve Hofmeyr were amongst persons invited. Only Hofmeyr showed up. He emphasized the black-on-white nature of crime in South Africa (there are 3-million whites and 49-million blacks in SA). He pointing out that a disproportionate number of whites were being murdered in South Africa today.  A very heated debate ensued between him and miss Patta, when she tried to imply that Hofmeyr's comments were ‘ludicrous and racist’.  Patta is renowned for her biased opinion towards Afrikaners.  Hofmeyr had to steer the commentary (time and again) back to the issue at hand and was constantly interrupted by an highly-agitated Patta. He pointed to the fact that this (disproportional-attacks against whites) anomaly is in fact, also a sign of genocide. Moments after the show, the facebook page for Third-Degree was swamped with comments - many threatening the life of the very popular activist, actor singer/songwriter. http://www.facebook.com/pages/3rd-Degree/101541629915235

 Hofmeyr, a handsome, virile blonde man in the prime of his life, has a stunning stage-presence and a rather rambunctious personal life which the Afrikaans media loves to describe in the most minute details. He also is one of Afrikanerdom’s most vocal human-rights campaigners on behalf of his own people. One can probably measure this artist’s popularity best by the huge number of death-threats he gets from black-racists – and the similarly popular support he gets from more democratic members of the black community, such as  radio DJ Tim Thabete of OFM radio. One fact is also clear: one is never bored around Steve Hofmeyr.

Steve’s recent political-campaign activities to fight for the human rights of his own people, include:

Steve Hofmeyr and Tim Thabete in triumphant ‘Stop Boer Murders’ hike… 19 Feb 2011 Hugely popular Boer balladeer Steve Hofmeyr and radio DJ Tim Thabete from Ofm-radio went on an impromptu hitchhike from Bloemfontein to Cape Town on the N1 highway on Friday to raise money to help combat farm-murders. ...

More death threats for Steve Hofmeyr  12 Dec 2010 The gifted Afrikaans musician Steve Hofmeyr has created the highest level of anger amongst black SAns this week with his intensely angry outburst over the brutal execution-style murder of Boer child Wilmien Potgieter, 2, slaughtered together with her parents on a Lindley, Free State farm….

Attacks on SA whites 19 Mar 2011  Many calls appear each day to murder Afrikaans singer SteveHofmeyr on Facebook pages.

background: Black Management Forum director Manyi: The Norwegian government is not happy about the South African president of the Black Management Forum, director-general Manyi: and has sent a diplomatic note protesting his crime: apparently three senior Norwegian diplomats were discussing the black-economic-empowerment programme with ANC-cabinet representatives in March in Pretoria about the ‘problems experienced by Norwegian companies about its cooperation concerning BEE” – and the Norwegians complained that  director general Manyi had then made an illegal proposal “which in their own country most certainly would be illegal and a crime”.  Director-general Manyi was reportedly ‘dumbfounded’ about this Norwegian reaction, saying he’d dmerely‘offered to provide details about the government’s policy’ and said he ‘saw nothing illegal’ in his proposal at all.  Manyi in fact said he was ‘surprised that the Norwegian diplomats would consider this (policy of providing well-paid directorships for leading ANC-members) as a crime…’ http://praag.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&amp%3Bview=article&amp%3Bid=8151%3Anoorwee-stuur-diplomatieke-nota-oor-manyi-se-misdryf&amp%3Bcatid=37%3Asuider-afrika&amp%3BItemid=400

Does SAPS maintain farm murder stats – or not?

Police Minister Mthethwa contradicts himself about Farm Attack statistics:  does the SAPS maintain farm-murder statistics – or not?

On March 29, 2011 in parliament, in replies to written questions from DA-parliamentarian M M Swathe, police minister Nati Mthethwa said that ‘the statistics on farm murders are not available on the case administration system of the SAPS. Cases of murder are not listed seperately based on where they occur…’murder is considered murder whether in rural areas or urban areas…’  http://www.politicsweb.co.za/politicsweb/view/politicsweb/en/page72308?oid=228504&sn=Marketingweb+detail&pid=90389 .

  • Which raises the question: where exactly did he get his stats from when he claimed that there had been ‘twelve murders on farms and smallholdings from December 2010 to (March 13 2011)? …

March 13 2011 Mthethwa: ‘There were twelve murders on farms and smallholdings… recorded by SAPS…

However his March 29 statement directly contradicts his previous statement on March 13 2011, also in Parliament -  when he said that “from December 2010 to date (March 13 2011) there had been twelve murders on farms and smallholding recorded by the SAPS” – and also adding considerable details showing that they took their ‘crime intelligence on  rural crime’ very seriously. http://www.politicsweb.co.za/politicsweb/view/politicsweb/en/page71656?oid=226064&sn=Detail&pid=71656.
