White South African Murders page: Murders of Whites from 1996 to 2016
On this page, are collections of the names and details of Whites who were murdered during the period 1996 to 2016. The true number of Whites killed in South Africa since 1994, is stupendous, and nobody has got even a fraction of all the names. But this is the most comprehensive collection that the Boere State Party has currently. My own attorney told me that he thinks 100,000 Whites have been murdered during Black rule.
[Roets is very high ranking in Afriforum. He can plead all he wants, but MURDERERS are no longer HANGED in South Africa. The Black Communist ANC Government got rid of this law long ago. My own view of matters is that in South Africa, the only hope for Whites is secession, whereby we can rule ourselves, protect ourselves and PUNISH CRIMINALS IN THE WAY THAT WE SEE FIT – which in this case would be execution. Truly, I cry over the fact that the HANGMAN is no longer active in South Africa. There are TENS OF THOUSANDS of murderers, (perhaps even more), who need to be EXECUTED. But of course this will never happen. The Black Communist Government took away the death penalty. My view always was that they KNEW UP FRONT THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF MURDERS WOULD BE COMMITTED BY THEIR PEOPLE AND THAT IS WHY THEY STOPPED EXECUTIONS! THEY KNEW THEY WOULD BE EXECUTING THEIR OWN PEOPLE, MOST OF THE TIME! So they got rid of the death penalty. Jan]
AfriForum’s Head of Policy and Action, Ernst Roets, on 26 January 2022, pleaded with the Free State High Court in Bloemfontein that farm murderers face the severe punishment their heinous crime warrants.
This formed part of Roets’ expert testimony on farm murders in the murder case of Sakkie (67) and Ina (62) van den Berg.
The victims were murdered on their farm in 2019 near Boshof in the Free State.
On 12 July 2019, at about 17:30, Mr van den Berg left to take a worker back to town, leaving his wife at home. On the way back to the farm, he stopped to open his farm gate when he was allegedly overpowered by six suspects. He was then taken back to his house where together with his wife were tied up, brutally beaten and shot. Both died at the scene.
Roets was approached by the prosecutor in this case to testify about the extent of farm attacks and farm murders, and the impact it has on communities, families and society at large.
Earlier this week all four accused in this case, Johannes Sekgoro, Thami Terence Kat, Leepile Daniel Sidasi and Daniel Tsekiso Seloane, were found guilty of murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances.
Two of the accused (Kat and Seloane) were also found guilty of the unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.
In his testimony Roets explained that farm attacks and farm murders are already regarded as a priority crime in theory, because it has been declared as such by both the former National Police Commissioner, Khomotso Phahlane, and the current Minister of Police, Bheki Cele. However, Roets explained that this crime phenomenon cannot be described as a priority crime in practice, because an appropriate counter strategy has not been implemented.
Against this background, Roets’ plea to the court was to play its role in the prioritisation of these attacks and murders, by punishing the perpetrators severely.
“Punishing these perpetrators severely is a necessary step to convey to the community and family of the victims the message that justice has been served. It will also contribute towards deterring other criminals plotting similar crimes,” Roets says.
“Farm murders do not only affect the immediate family of the deceased, but also society at large. Farms are the lifeblood of rural communities. When we lose our farmers, we also lose our rural communities,” Roets concludes.
2009: German Magazine Spiegel says: South Africa Has Become a De Facto One-Party State
This is the only time that a major Western publication ever stated the obvious truth: That South Africa is a one party state. The best we can hope for is that the Blacks will fight it out among themselves eventually.
