THE TRUTH ABOUT THE NEW SOUTH AFRICA.

The Dellers lived in South Africa: for 25 years.  (History)  They worked hard there, had a family and Brian's three children are still living there with his grandchildren.  They escaped to Spain in 1999.

The facts of the matter are that it is now obvious that South Africa was a far better country under Apartheid, which would have changed gradually over the years for most of its inhabitants, not just the Whites.  It was the richest country in Africa and no one starved.  All who wanted to work had a job and even thousands of Black people from the northern countries flooded to South Africa each year to work in the mines, etc.  Although the rates of pay may have seemed low, workers could live and save on them, unlike now where inflation and the very low value of the Rand has caused economic hardship for all except those who are in power at all levels who make sure that their incomes are inflation-proofed. Now the rich are getting richer, and the poorer are getting poorer with an unemployment rate of 40%.    Most important, the murder and rape rates were way below average for Africa.   It was a safe country as long as you did not suffer from a terrorist bombing usually from the now ruling ANC party.   Now the crime rates are the highest in the World (second only to Colombia for being shot to death) and this is after just 13 years of the African National Congress's rule.  And they are not improving.

Would you go to the Soccer World Cup in 2010 in South Africa, to a country where it is not even safe to walk the main streets in the cities or in much of the countryside?

CRIME IN SOUTH AFRICA

1 June 2008.

Let us leave no doubts in your minds.  The serious crime in South Africa is amongst the worst in the world including Iraq and Afghanistan.  The figures for 2007 show that you are twelve times more likely to be unlawfully killed  in South Africa than you are in the United States.  The incidence of rape, in a country where HIV is very high, is in itself  potential death sentence and even children as young as 3 months old are not safe due to the fools believing that if the "make love to a virgin" it will cure their HIV/AIDS.

The government's own statistics now show that there are an average of nearly 88 people a day that are unlawfully killed or in other words, murdered.  They can be seen at this web-site link.  You will need Adobe Reader to display them.

This year, 2008, over 50 foreigners were horribly murdered in the black squatter camps.  Simply for being foreigners, many of whom moved to the wonderful South Africa after being driven out of Zimbabwe where they were starving (3-million) or Mozambique where a 20-odd year war between the tribes left that country in a terrible state.

Apartheid was far better than this.    Foreigners came to work legally in South Africa then, but now under a Marxist ANC government, the unemployment rate is about 40%.

SA: foreign tourists, localworkers besieged by armed gangs near Kruger National Park

Date Posted: Friday 18-Jan-2008

Nelspruit - Two attacks have been launched against employees and tourists near the Kruger National Park on Wednesday and Thursday.
The tourists were attacked and fired on near the Orpen gate of the the Kruger National Park on Thursday. A day earlier, 3 workers of a nearby exclusive safari lodge were attacked, injuring one. The motives for the attacks are unclear: the attackers fled without robbing anything.

PARADISE LOST: ORPEN LODGE, KRUGER PARK:

URL: http://www.krugerpark.co.za/images/thumbs/280...

The Kruger National Park is run by the SA government's national parks board, while Tintswalo is an exclusive (expensive, meant for foreign tourists) safari lodge, situated on a private Manyeleti Reserve concession inside the Greater Kruger National Park.

Police are investigating whether there is a link between the two attacks.

On Thursday morning at about 07:00, a group of tourists was driving past the Orpen Gate at the Timbavati Game Reserve Lodge when they came across branches in the road.

"While they were stopping there were some shots and they drove away," said police captain David Hlatshwayo. "Fortunately nobody was injured."    He said one of the group was South African and the rest were foreign tourists.    The car, a Toyota Yaris, was damaged, but nothing was stolen.   Police found bullets leading them to believe the suspects were using rifles that were stolen the previous week.

Police did not divulge much: they did not say how many tourists there were in this party on Thursday, nor what countries they hailed from.
It's also not known whether they continued their tour or not.

The afternoon before, on Wednesday three employees from Tintswalo Safari Lodge close to Hoedspruit, were attacked by an armed gang when returning to the lodge, located in Manyeleti Reserve which opens into the Kruger National Park.   The employees had just turned onto the gravel road to the lodge in a Nissan bakkie when three armed men stopped them and start shooting at them.

"One man was injured and rushed to hospital," said investigating officer, Captain David Hlatshwayo.

Hlatshwayo said the unnamed man was shot in his left arm and leg. The gang then ran away for some unknown reason which police did not clarify -- and their motive remains unclear as nothing was stolen.

The rifles used by the robbers might have been stolen during an earlier burglary at Kapana Lodge in Hoedspruit on Thursday January 10 where rifles, amongst other things, were stolen. Police are investigating two cases of attempted murder.

CRIME UP.  SA Newspaper report July 2007.

_____________________________________________________________________________

In the forty-four years from 1950 to 1993 in South Africa, there was an average of 7,036 murders per year. This also covered the “turbulent” times of the “Apartheid years” of conflict, terrorism bombing and riots. However, under the ANC rule, Interpol's statistics state the murder rate has averaged 47,882 per year. or over 6 times as many.

SA: truck-hijackings up 53.3%; house robberies up 7%; business robberies up 29.3%...

Date Posted: Thursday 06-Dec-2007

06/12/2007 Pretoria - 7% more house robberies, 29,3% more business robberies and 53.3% more truck hijackings occurred April and September this year, the police announced in Pretoria on Thursday.

PERSONAL COMMENT -- it is however becoming increasingly difficult to believe anything the police chiefs say, as they also claim that murder, rape, attempted murder, assault with intention to do grievous bodily harm, common assault, aggravated robbery and common robbery have also decreased over these months. They left out some rather important details, such as the percentages of these proclaimed 'decreases ....

 25 November 2007.

The new government statistics show that combining the deaths by murder and by manslaughter, the actual deaths per day are for 2006 - 88 a day average.  That is 32.000 a year.  And it is claimed that the official statistics are always inaccurate (lower) so as not to paint a grim picture under ANC rule.

You are 12 times as likely to die an unlawful death in SA than you are in the USA.

 ___________________________________________________________________________________________

The African National Congress (ANC), was a initially a political organisation and then eventually a terrorist organisation from around the 1960s when they started to receive support from communist countries that were intent on World domination through installing governments in countries where perceived injustices could be used as a reason for stirring up its inhabitants, but like all of these organisations, the majority of the Black people in SA did not respond at first.    After years of propaganda and especially from the Sharpeville incident where thousands of Blacks organised by the Pan African Congress, another terror group, descended on a small police station, breaking down the surrounding fence.  After a shot was fired, the police opened fire frightened for their lives and 69 Blacks died and a couple were injured, many being trampled by the crowd, the ANC and PAC started of the indiscriminate bombing of shopping centers, with some World support due to the propaganda about "freedom for the Blacks" and not understanding the need for longer development phases in Africa, the Whites who had skillfully managed South Africa and had made it the best country in Sub-Saharan Africa (if it was so bad, why did people from the North flock in their thousands to work there?).     Apartheid was eventually rescinded after a 1992 referendum of the Whites despite many misgivings by the rest since proven correct    The ANC then made sure that they received the most votes with blatant propaganda, some of it lies and by introducing the now well-know method of public murders to persuade others to support them called "necklacing".  This involved the placing of a motor-car tyre around the poor victim's neck and pouring petrol in it.    It is then set on fire and the crowds were force to watch the victims’ death agonies.  There were many other atrocities but that is history now.  Even a local police chief now near Johannesburg was a convicted terrorist bomber of women and children in a restaurant.  He has been plagued with controversy since and is currently awaiting possible trial for being drunk and crashing a State vehicle, and threatening police witnesses testifying against him.  There is so much evidence that, as in Rhodesia where the Ian Smith government forecast the future of Zimbabwe as it became known, the same is happening in South Africa.  But no one listened and look at Zimbabwe now!

What now?  Like Zimbabwe where economic meltdown has finally occurred, South Africa is in turmoil but who cares?  The people who were responsible for the installation of the ANC and a "democratic" government must turn away with guilty consciences when the hear of the disasters that have been caused by their handiwork in both Zimbabwe and now South Africa.  The World Press does not constantly highlight the problems there where rape occurs (every 83 seconds?) so often that women have given up reporting it, and HIV/AIDS is a pandemic, so rape can easily become a death-sentence.  Even babies of three months are not safe.  Murder rates are the highest in the world outside of a war zone with an official annual average of about 20.000 deaths in a population of about 45 million, but the South African Medical Council has been reported in the SA Press as saying that according to their statistics, it is 50% higher.   People who can afford to, live behind steel fenced townships where to enter you have to go through a barrier.  A reminder of Europe in the Dark Ages 500 - 600 + years ago.  But they still have to go to work!

And this country has been selected for the 2101 World Cup!  I hope that those intent on going read the UK Foreign Office´s travel advice before deciding; and the web-sites linked below.  Many will be lucky to receive their luggage at the airport with all then contents intact.  (Many travellers going there now find that their luggage has been opened and valuables stolen, even if completely sealed with plastic.)

The Whites previously in power predicted what would happen, and it is.    I refuse to be described as a racialist (the usual cry of the inept) for announcing the facts to the reader.    It is only by knowing the facts that a solution can be arrived at.

But there is not enough space to write here of the disaster that South Africa is quickly becoming for all its inhabitants who are unable to put cash in foreign safe havens, and a disaster for at least 80% of them now are seriously affected by crime or lack of income.  Read the contents of the following web-sites below that originate in the main from South Africa where citizens who have suffered enough are trying to shame the inept South African ANC led government into doing something about the terrible crime there.   And the National Police Chief is the President of Interpol.     SA's President Mbeki must also be held partly responsible for Zimbabwe's demise by his policy of "quiet diplomacy" in other words "support for Mugabe", and the ANC government needs to do its sworn duty to protect SA's citizens: but can it?    Many intellectuals of all races living there say NO!   The ANC does not have the skills in government and administration and is now more racialist in the true sense than the old Apartheid government.   Highly qualified Whites there cannot enter the job market where there are thousands of skilled jobs available because they are White (or Indian or Coloured [mixed]) - by  the laws of the country brought in by the ANC and this all adds to the crime problems.  1,2 million Whites have officially left (probably more) and now the SA Government is trying to get them to return as it is desperate.

Please read these web-sites remembering they are based on facts from the South African Press and with letters from people who are living there.  You may “click” to go to each link or copy addresses into your browser.

LETTERS TO THE PRESS IN EUROPE.

15 July 2006

By E-mail

Dear Editor

What is going wrong with our World?  There are the terrorist groups in Gaza and Beirut/Lebanon who are causing a mini-war which may

yet develop into a major confrontation, and let us make no bones about it; the Palestinians are responsible for this current battle, but the

 liberals and far left will try and blame the Israelis.  As someone who lived in South Africa and still has relatives living there, I have a special reason for being concerned. 

 I wish to bring to your attention the so called “rainbow nation”, South Africa that 12 to 14 years ago under Mandela’s leadership was praised the world over as a miracle when the Whites there agreed to stop Apartheid and effectively hand over an economically strong and well run as, far as the infrastructure was concerned, country to a terrorist organisation called the Africa National Congress, an organisation that used “necklacing” (car tyres placed around (Black) people’s necks, filled with petrol and set on fire) to persuade the masses to vote for them.   Now the country is gradually crumbling away economically with having the doubtful reputation of being one of the most dangerous places to live (and visit) in the world.   The Black peoples there who were jubilant 12 – 14 years ago, are, apart from the privileged few, worse off than they were under Apartheid, but no one seems to care outside of SA.   An average of 18 to 20.000 people a year are reported murdered (how many are not reported?), rape is so common that most victims know it is not worth reporting it anymore (a sad crime with HIV/AIDS being so prevalent), and criminals are reported to have a 90% chance of getting away with their often savage crimes.  Many urbanisations (townships) of even a thousand homes are surrounded completely by steel fencing with guarded entrances/exits just like Europe in the dark-ages with castles.   It is now reported that in the South African Police Services, undermanned and underpaid, many are scared of the criminals, and corruption is a major problem due to low wages and fear.   It is reported that 57 policemen have been murdered this year already

Petitions are being sent to President Mbeki to take action to protect the citizens, but nothing is done.  The Minister of Safety and Security has said in parliament basically that if you do not like it, then leave.  He is sworn to uphold and protect the citizens of South Africa in the SA Constitution.

Unemployment is reported in the Press there to be running at around 40% and this is in country with no social services support (no job, you starve which never happened under Apartheid), and this adds to the crime rates as millions of Black people are now despondent at the promises previously made by the African National Congress now in Parliament, not being kept.  Many are living in squatter camps around the major cities with no hope of being re-housed or their conditions being improved in the foreseeable future, but the ANC government lives off the fat of the land with some officials even at council levels being paid exorbitant salaries they have voted for themselves to the detriment of the taxpayers, who have suffered with cholera outbreaks, sewerage in the streets, etc. 

The law is more racist now than under Apartheid forcing many young and middle-aged Whites, Indians and so-called Coloureds who can, to emigrate taking their skills with them, something South Africa cannot afford to happen.  But the ANC government, as they have with Zimbabwe, ignore the facts and castigate anyone who publicises them, branding them as “racists and unpatriotic”.   Farmers are being savagely murdered in increasing numbers by Black people, and now land is being forcibly taken from families, including those who are not Black but for example are Indian, who have owned it and produced food, for over 150 years in many cases.  Several very large farms have, like in Zimbabwe, already being left desolate so expect food aid to be asked for soon.

The World Cup 2010 is supposed to be in South Africa, and already they are way behind with the preparations reports the German Press experts who have visited South Africa to advise the officials.  South Africa cannot afford to have a World Cup.  Every day, major electrical power cuts in the cities are normal, and they are even announced on the radio and TV now.  New electrical power stations are needed, but the money to build them has been wasted on weapons that are not needed as the armed forces are now being decimated by HIV/AIDS and other diseases, plus the usual sub-Saharan African problem, - incompetence.  There is no safe and reliable transport infrastructure, with taxis that are in many cases 15-years old and very unsafe, trains that are set on fire by the users if they are not on time and the ever present hijacking of cars making every journey a dangerous action.  There are even large warning notices at selected street corners in and outside the cities known to be hijacking “Black spots”. People are reported to be dying in hospitals due to vital equipment failing due to no power and businesses are suffering thus increasing the 35 – 40% unemployment problem.  With the very high crime rates, anyone who travels there is putting his/her life at extreme risk.  You will not be able to walk the streets as you can in most of Europe without constant fear of being robbed, even in the supermarkets and restaurants.  And there they use AK 47 assault rifles, even though possession of one is supposed to mean an automatic ten-year jail sentence.

The world cheered when Apartheid finished despite the warnings of the White citizens there of what would happen.  Now it is and continues, with President Mbeki of South Africa even supporting Mugabe of Zimbabwe, showing his true colours.  What can be done?    In my opinion, as someone who lived there for 25 years and is therefore qualified more than most to be listened to is like most of Africa:  in my opinion, COLONISATION again is the only real answer.  But this will not happen, so the alternative is 100 years plus of the “dark ages” we had in Europe centuries ago, and this is what will probably happen.

If you are interested in what is happening in Africa now, and do not just write it off “because it is Africa, what can you expect”, take a look at the web-sites.  The facts will shock you and perhaps change your future attitudes.  And do not be frightened of being labelled a “racist” by the ignorant liberals.  The main aim is the betterment of all Africans, not with charity which just worsens the situation, but with good leadership and their hard work.  It is the only way. We did it centuries ago.  Now they must to catch up.

LETTER 2 dated 6 August 2006

Zimbabwe “revalues” its currency. 

This month of August has been another sad and chaotic one in then once thriving British colony that was forced into democracy before they were really ready, because the Zimbabwe dollar has been “re-valued” by the Zimbabwe government.    For some years now, the cost of printing the Zimbabwe currency notes has far exceeded the face value.    For example, where we may be used to carrying around say €150 in our pockets, the equivalent amount in Zimbabwe is now Z$ 100.000.000 (yes 100 million) which means that to go shopping, you need a suitcase on wheels, and the value is falling faster than binge drinkers in Glasgow on a Friday night. 

There are benefits of course.  If you live in adjoining South Africa where you can be murdered for as little as €5, it just is not worth it in Zimbabwe because not only is the currency value falling every hour, there is also very little to spend it on.   As one Zimbabwean wit said two years ago, it is cheaper to use a Zim$10 note than to use toilet paper. 

Now the Zimbabwean government under the leadership to disaster of Robert (Robbing, as he has been called by many for some time now) Mugabe, has decided to issue new currency where the face values have had three zeroes removed from them so a current Z$100.000 note will be worth Z$100 in the new paper notes.   The reason is that there is just not enough currency notes in the country. 

But that is not all, to stop “crooks” profiting from the changeover, three weeks has been designated as the changeover period ending on the 21^st August, but with the weekends and public holidays, that means just nine days where you can go to your local bank to change the old notes.  But as the sales-people on TV used to say, “That is not all!”     You are also not allowed to have more than Z$100.000.000 (yes, €150) on your person or in your car at any one time, so many citizens will be effectively robbed by the government (again) as from the 21^st August, the old currency will no longer be legal tender. And groups of the Mugabe’s governing party’s “youth league” will be stopping and searching people confiscating all money over this amount.   So it will not be the crooks who are stopped from profiting, it will be the many thousands of poor people who live in the villages many kilometres from the towns who will be unable to take their cash to the Banks.   Even a tank of petrol for the average car costs Z$100.000.000 now, if you can find a garage with petrol and our correspondent who lives there reports that since the edict, the garages mysteriously have run out of petrol.   But you can be sure that the Government officials have already changed all of theirs even though it takes a 30-ton truck to get them to the Banks. One more nail in the coffin of the once beautiful Rhodesia/Zimbabwe before the politicians in the West ruined it in the 1960-70s.  

Why am I writing about this for most readers to look at and tut-tut and then turn to the Sports pages?  Because the current problems in Middle East are also our problems where we have not written to our MPs in the last few years and said strongly something must be done, so do it or I will not vote for you next time.  So we allow the propaganda to flow over us, where “civilians” are being killed, by the “bad Israelis” who are only trying to survive in a World where most people do not care enough.  The  Syrians (and all foreign militias as well as unofficial armies) have been “told” by the UN to stop organising the terrorists in Lebanon and giving support in the form of weapons in the UN resolution 1559 in September 2004, insisting on just this and more.  Ok, the official Syrian army has moved out, but Syria (and Iran) is still supporting the Hezbollah terrorists and the ordinary Lebanese civilians, many of whom are Christian, are suffering as a result. And many ordinary people in the West who really do not follow what is going on, blame the Israelis for doing what the UN has said must happen but does not send the UN forces in to ensure that Hezbollah is disarmed and disbanded as it should be.    The propaganda works where women and children killed are shown as killed by Israeli bombs, but at least the Israelis have given due warning before they target an area, unlike the terrorist Hezbollah who have been firing unguided rockets into Israel and using stupid young people willing to blow themselves up, “For the cause” (Oh how that phrase is being recalled as these murderers stand before their maker just before the trip to Hell!)    

I know that the UN is getting ready to really “raise its voice” over the nuclear fuel problem in Iran, but that is because the resulting bombs that Iran will make can be easily set off in the middle of London, New York, etc. and the latter is dangerously near the UN buildings. These terror organisations who are using religion to gain World power (and to stay in power in their countries) see every step-down by the West as a sign of weakness, and like the school bully, someone has to step up to them and bloody their noses, - for ever.  Do I support Bush and Blair in their efforts to fight world terrorism?  You bet I do, because the future looks bleak if we do not for all our great grandchildren, those that survive being taught by a religiously fanatical Iman.  We have been there in Europe where Roman Catholics and Protestants were murdered by the State for their religious beliefs so we know these people are about 500 years behind us in civilisation.   Remember that we used to burn Protestants at the stake in our major towns London and persecute the Jews? 

So, dear reader, it takes only five minutes and a piece of paper to write a letter to your MP to the Spanish, UK, Irish, EU in Brussels, recording in a few lines your disgust at the way the citizens of : 

• -- Zimbabwe are being treated, and the UN must take action to remove him and his party from power, by arresting Mugabe for the tens of thousands of his citizens he has committed genocide against and a trial in the World Court, and,

• -- The immediate disarming and arrest, with UN troops, of all Hezbollah terrorists, and the removal of any Syrian and Iranian troops.  They have no need or right to be in Lebanon, a country that wants and needs peace.  This will mean a UN “peace-keeping” force being Lebanon for some years to make sure they do not come back.

Finally, are you really happy that a once great country called Iran is being run by mad-men who are intent on having nuclear weapons that can be smuggled into London, Madrid, Paris, Washington and New York and set off?  Of course you are not because if that happens, what is happening now will be a small skirmish compared with the results of such an atrocity.  And we will all be guilty of not doing enough about it now.

Just another Day in the new south africa!  21 August 2006

Rah Rah club of South Africa

Message:
10 year old girl raped and hammered to death. CELINE: "WHY DID THE WORLD DO THIS TO ME?"

July 22, 2006 Thabazimbi - A 10-year-old girl was first raped and then repeatedly hit on the head with a hammer until she died.   Then, her killer buried her bloodied, battered body in a shallow grave in a nearby riverbed.

The gruesome murder of Grade 3 schoolgirl Celine Oosthuizen who attended the Koedoeskop Primary School, deeply shocked the residents of Thabazimbi in Limpopo.  A group of Thabazimbi women intend to hold a protest march on Thursday at the court.

Captain Gabashane Moseki of Limpopo's Waterberg region said Celine was believed to have been killed in the early hours of last Saturday.  She said that after school on Friday afternoon, Celine had gone to the town of Setaria near Northam platinum mine.   It seemed the girl used to go there often after school to play video games. Celine's mother and stepfather also live in Setaria.

Moseki said the suspect apparently had offered to take Celine back home on Friday afternoon.  Moseki said: "He is believed to have raped her on the way."   Afterwards, the girl apparently began bleeding and then she was taken to the nearby Crocodile River.   It seems the suspect and the girl spent the whole night on the river bank. Her parents thought she was visiting the relative.

Moseki said Celine was murdered about 06:00 on Saturday. Beeld (newspaper) heard from an informed source in the police that Celine had been hit several times on the head with a hammer.   The police officer said: "I've never seen anything like it in my life. It was really terrible."   Celine's family reported her missing by Saturday afternoon.   Her body was found after searching the riverbed and a post-mortem was done on Wednesday.

School principal Gustav Grobler said everyone was shocked.    He said Celine had been at his school only for the past four months.   "She was an extremely quiet little girl and in the beginning she struggled to adapt."

As a tourist or traveller, we urge you to boycott South Africa as a destination, because “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH”!!   Help us to help the concerned citizens of all races and colours there to force the South African government to take responsibility and action against the crime and lawlessness that now has riddled the country since the ANC came to power 12 years ago and makes it the "Murder Capital of the World".   Only Columbia with its drug wars has a higher murder rate, but lower robbery and rape rates.

PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION.

A petition has been raised directed to FIFA to change the World Cup 2010 venue away from South Africa.  It is intended to point out that if held there, thousands of visitors are at risk of murder and rape, or at least being violently robbed.  In "human rights mad" Europe, FIFA could even be sued by victims if the risks are not adequately advertised and potential soccer tourists warned of the dangers.  The reason for the petition is to force the SA government to carry out its sworn duty and protect the vast majority of the citizens who do not commit crime.

SOUTH AFRICA:  Violent crime exploding - up 20%

Violent crime exploding.  Wide-based forensic-standard Massmart statistics show violent crime has risen 20% on a year ago.

Barry Sergeant
Posted: Fri, 25 Aug 2006 12:00 | © Moneyweb Holdings Limited, 1997-2006

Mark Lamberti, CEO of Massmart, one of Africa’s largest consumer good distributors, says his company’s statistics – immaculately kept for insurance purposes – indicate that crime in South Africa “right now is about 20% up on last year this time”.

Lamberti told the Moneyweb Radio: “I’m talking about armed robberies, robberies of cash-in-transit, attacks of one sort or another on our staff, people being involved in hijackings and robberies at their homes and so on.”

Massmart monitors crime “very, very accurately and we have world-class statistics in that regard”.   Lamberti protested that “quite frankly, the [crime] level right now, despite a number of denials in this regard, is not acceptable.   I’ve actually heard it said, ‘Well, this is perception, not reality’. I mean, nothing could be further from the truth and we’ve got statistics to back that up”.

This week Safety and Security Minister Charles Nqakula (he who recently said in the SA Parliament that if you do not like the levels of crime, you can always leave SA) briefed the Black Business Working Group.   According to a statement, Nqakula said on the crime situation in South Africa that “crime has been declining steadily since 1994”.  (Another ANC lie)

Massmart’s crime statistics are widely based, feeding in from operations comprising a managed portfolio of ten wholesale and retail chains, through 228 outlets, and one buying association, serving 478 independent retailers and wholesalers, in 11 countries in sub-Saharan Africa.    Massmart is the third largest distributor of consumer goods in Africa, the leading retailer of general merchandise, liquor and home improvement equipment and supplies, and the leading wholesaler of basic foods.

South Africa (government) has effectively stopped publishing crime statistics, further fuelling rising frustration over the patently clear explosion in violent crime.    Today, Friday, President Thabo Mbeki is discussing details of a Business Against Crime campaign (Oh no!  Not another ineffective campaign?  Just and excuse to extract more money from big business again?) with his Presidential Big Business Working Group.

According to official statements, the cabinet approved the plan in principle on Wednesday; “the proposed campaign seeks to mobilise all South Africans to join hands with the police in the fight against crime and to restore public confidence in the criminal justice system”.   (This is a national police service that uses private security companies to protect the police stations)

However, for any number of South Africans, the explosion in violent crime has already been “too much”, as put in a posting by a Moneyweb reader. The reader continued: “I have been contracting offshore in various countries for ten years.   Retained SA citizenship and (rather useless) passport with intention to return eventually.   (Still have SA property and other assets). I have always vigorously defended SA in all aspects.

“This week a female family member was senselessly beaten to within an inch of her life for worthless jewellery. That is it for me.  No more defending, goodbye and good luck.”

British pupils attacked in SA

IOL.co.za (IOL is a South African newspaper)
British kids attacked on SA tour
July 29 2006 at 11:23AM

Now what is also real interesting is the fact that both those stories quote a New South African Police spokesperson speaking on Saturday morning – even though the attack actually happened last Tuesday.    In other words, although the incident was reported to the "New South African Police Service", and therefore, the official press liaison officer would have been aware of it (I know, I used to do the crime reporting on a Johannesburg newspaper), they deliberately withheld news of it from the media, until the journo hacks were prompted into asking them about it, after they read about it on this blog.
And you were looking for evidence that the New South African Police are deliberately repressing crime reporting in this country? Look no further.   Anecdotal evidence from all over the country shows that the crime rate is easily triple or quadruple the “official” reported rate – and the above serves as an excellent example.
Another interesting point comes out of the IOL newspaper story above: it quotes one of the fathers of the South African kids also held up in the same incident, Pierre Francois Boote, who was badly beaten up in the attack: “The father of a South African pupil, Pierre Francois Boote, was badly beaten and was later treated in hospital. Although none of the children was injured, all were shocked and are received counselling.   Boote, a 59-year-old businessman, said he was lucky to be alive: "That I'm alive is a miracle. That the children weren't hurt is also a miracle.
"It was disgusting what these people did to these really nice kids (the British visitors) who came to our country . . . they were traumatised. These were decent children. The last thing on their minds was to be treated with this kind of violence and insanity."    Boote described how the party was winding down about 10.30pm when the house was stormed by between eight and 12 men wearing masks.  "These people came over the walls," said Boote.     "They herded the children into the lounge. The one British girl had her hair pulled and a gun put to her temple . . . They made one boy take his jeans off, why I don't know. He was a South African boy.
"My wife was lying in bed when she heard them beating me outside. She dropped to the floor between the bed and the wall, put her phone on silent and immediately called the police. She saved my life. They had a gun pointing at my face ready to shoot me when the police arrived."
Boote was highly critical of the police.
"The police station is only up the road but they took 20 minutes to get here. It's sick, sick. They could have been here in five minutes.    "I told them to jump over the wall and chase them. I went there bleeding and in shock and I looked over the wall. There was stuff lying on the floor but where were the police? They were inside the house, terrified to go out."
