Maize farmer Koos van Rooyen murdered on March 3 2011
The local Afrikaner community already is up in arms about the wave of armed attacks against the working-class Afrikaner smallholders throughout the region over the past year – and in March they protested outside the local law-courts against the bail applications of two black men who were arrested for an earlier farm murder on March 3, when maize-farmer Koos van Rooyen, 63, was shot dead execution-style. Workers found the latest murdered farmer's body about 1km from the road on Friday - hidden inside a crack inside a rocky outcrop. He was tightly trussed up by his hands and feet, a bag was pulled over his head, he was naked and reportedly grossly mutilated. Bystanders said the 'method in which he was killed was extremely cruel'.
At the time of publication, the police pathology unit was unable to establish exactly how he had died, as they had not yet managed to extricate his body from the rock ledge. The local Herald newspaper did not have his name at that stage. According to well-informed sources, a former worker who had unsuccessfully sued the farmer, ‘swore revenge’ when the court turned down his application. This black man has now disappeared with three other friends from a nearby township and police are looking for all four black males.

Third cruel farm murder: Randfontein
Canadian-born farmer Frank Gaudin 73, tortured to death on his African Artifacts farm near the historic Blaauwbank goldmine, Randfontein – wife Sandra also murdered in their homestead on Dec 23 2008. ..
The international wholesaler in African curios ran the Wild Animals and Bird Haven Farm on Main Road, Blaauwbank in Randfontein. Nothing seemed stolen: even his cars were at the farm. Five months earlier, one of two Mozambiquan brothers accused of Sandra Gaudin’s murder was sentenced to life; the brother remains at large…
Mr Gaudin was an international wholesale dealer in African curios whose business was located in the same region as the historic Blaauwbank Gold Mine. His wife Sandra was also murdered there on December 23 2008. Gaudin, 73, was found tortured to death, hidden inside a crack of a rocky overcrop on his farm. SAPS capt Appel Ernst of Randfontein confirmed that Mr Gaudin's mutilated body was found at 5pm. Ín January this year,
Judge Gerhard Hatting sentenced one of the two Mozambiquan brothers who killed Mrs Gaudin, Teleo Valente Matimbe (25) to a lifetime in prison at the Johannesburg High court. The brother remains missing. Revenge for the sentencing is not ruled out as a motive, according to well-informed sources .
Mr Gaudin's neighbours reported the farmer-businessman missing on Friday-morning at the Randfontein police station and a massive man-hunt was launched for him. All his vehicles are still on the farm. Even the dams were pumped empty to determine whether he may have drowned, said Capt Appel Ernst, pic. Beeld was unable to confirm reports that Mr Gaudin had been trussed up tightly, and that rags were tied over his head. The police would not provide the death cause until a forensic examination had confirmed it, said Capt Ernst.
His only son in South Africa, Paul Gaudin, 34 of Vanderbijlpark said the family is horribly shocked and traumatised. 'Nobody deserves to die like that,' said the son. He said his father started the business, African Artifacts Farms, in 1973. He built it from scratch and built up a successful enterprise. I will always remember by dad as a hard and direct man, a good businessman.' Two sons from his second marriage Frank, 37 and Michael, 32, are expected in SA from Australia. Mr Gaudin is also survived by a son from his first marriage, Mark. The police investigating officer is lt.col Gert Kruger, tel 0112788100 or 0824132635

Mom; two children aged 9 murdered, Dagbreek Welkom
Unarmed mom 46, her two nine-year-old children murdered in fierce struggle, blood-coated rooms show…
2011-06-06 WELKOM. – Police told Volksblad newspaper that the nine-year-old boy desperately tried to crawl underneath his bed to hide from his murderer – but was dragged out and killed, markings on his back showed. His nine-year-old slain sister’s body was on her bed in the same room; their 46-year-old mother’s blood-covered body was found in the main-bedroom of the family-home in the working-class traditionally Afrikaans suburb of Dagbreek, Welkom.
Volksblad journalist Tom de Wet quoted SAPF capt Stephen Thakeng as saying that the organised-crime unit was ‘following all the forensic leads’ to try and find the murderers of the unarmed three-member family. The unnamed family had moved into the house only two months earlier and no-one in the neighbourhood knew them. A neighbour said he last saw the woman on Sunday-morning outside in the garden. He had noticed ‘nothing unusual’. A friend of the dead woman who stopped by on his motorbike at around 19:30 on Sunday, discovered the tragedy when he looked through a window after finding the house locked and silent. He reportedly ran into the street in fear and neighbours alerted the police after seeing the carnage inside. Police broke open the front door. One of the witnesses told Volksblad journalist Tom de Wet that the two children were not at school on Thursday.

I cannot stand for that,” said Chaplin. Chaplin claimed police officers pepper sprayed his twin and broke his friend's nose.

Will 5,000 afrikaner squatters soon be homeless?
Fears that 5,000 Afrikaner squatters in Daspoort, Pretoria would soon be homeless were postponed again in the Pretoria high court when the infamous 'wendy-house' trial was postponed once again, this time to July 29.
The fate of these helpless squatter families could also become the fate of Pretoria's many tens of thousands of Afrikaners who have similar structures housing their poor and homeless friends and relatives in their backyards. If the ANC-regime obtains the court order to bulldoze such Wendy-House backyard structures, based on the claim that they are 'illegal' and 'unhygienic,' it could start a mass forced-removal of all the poor Afrikaners from greater Pretoria. Meanwhile the ANC-council does nothing against the millions of 'illegal structures' in the sprawling black townships. They are focussing on the forced-removals of tens of thousands of Afrikaners from greater Pretoria.
Tension remains high amongst the 5,000 homeless Afrikaners living in their backyard Wendy Houses at Daspoort smallholdings.
The formidable Boer woman who has taken on the burden of looking after all these people is Mrs Magda Stroebel, left, whose Angels at Work charity helps providing backyard-housing, food and retraining in entrepreneurial skills for this close-knit group, has spent the most of past few weeks in tears and prayer with her family, friends and supporters – terrified of hearing the Pretoria Magistrate’s court decision. Yet once again and for the umteenth time since 2009, the case was simply postponed. Thus the tension remains...
The Pretoria ANC-council is obviously running a terror-campaign in its attempt to get court-approval to bulldoze the neat little squatter community to the ground - and force its residents, including frail elderly people and the very young, out into the dangerous streets of Pretoria. And the worst part of it was that an Afrikaner building-inspector who has since resigned and moved to a similar job in Mosselbay, who has caused all this misery.
As the pictures below show, Daspoort's wendy-houses have been en home for them for years, they hold their church services there, try to grow their own vegetables in the neatly-maintained court yard and try to keep their children safe. This is in every sense of the word, a cohesive community where the frailest members of the community – the children and the elderly -- can feel safe from the incredible criminal violence which is wracking South Africa.

Vrou (72) ontsnap, skiet inbreker dood
Riaan Marais
Nadat sy om 03:00 in haar huis oorval en vasgebind is, kon ’n 72-jarige vrou van dié kusdorp haarself loswikkel, haar pistool kry en ’n inbreker doodskiet.
Volgens ao. Marianette Olivier, polisiewoordvoerder, het twee mans gister deur ’n venster in die vrou se huis geklim en haar met ’n mes en ’n skroewedraaier gedreig. Haar identiteit word op haar versoek deur die polisie weerhou.
“Nadat hulle haar hande vasgebind en haar geblinddoek het, het hulle haar bankkaarte en PIN-kode geëis,” het Olivier gesê. Een van die inbrekers het met haar motor na ’n kitsbank gery terwyl sy makker die huis deursoek het.
“Dit het die vrou die geleentheid gegee om haar hande los te wikkel en haar .38-pistool te gaan haal. Die een verdagte in die huis het haar met die vuurwapen gesien en toe op haar afgestorm. Sy het ’n skoot afgevuur. Hy is op die toneel dood,” het Olivier gesê.
Kort hierna het die tweede inbreker teruggekeer van die kitsbank, sy makker sien lê en op die vlug geslaan.
“Hierdie is St. Francisbaai. Hier gebeur nie sulke goed nie,” het ’n geskokte buurman gesê.
Niemand is nog in hegtenis geneem nie.

Vrou keelaf gesny
Jacques Steenkamp
’n Vrou se keel is met ’n mes afgesny en haar man is met ’n byl doodgekap in hul huis op hul hoewe buite Vereeniging.
Die verminkte lyke van mnr. Jan Malan (64), ’n oudpolisieman, en sy vrou, Susan (60), wat langer as 20 jaar ’n klerk by die Vereeniging-kinderhof was, is gister omstreeks 09:30 deur ’n werknemer in hul huis op die Mooilande-hoewe gevind.
Hulle is die vorige dag vermoor.
Mnr. Malan is verlede Maandag by die polisie weggewys toe hy die vergiftiging van hul honde en ’n doodsdreigement teen hom en sy vrou wou aanmeld.
Die egpaar is met ’n mes en ’n byl vermoor.
Mev. Malan se keel is afgesny en haar man in die linkersy met ’n mes gesteek en het kapwonde aan die kop gehad, volgens ’n bron op die toneel.
Volgens hul oudste dogter, mev. Minetta McLachlan (39), het een van haar ouers se bure haar gister gebel met die nuus.
“My ouers se huiswerker wou die wasgoed in die huis gaan haal. Sy het op my ma se lyk in die gang en my pa se lyk tussen die sit- en eetkamer afgekom.”
McLachlan het dadelik haar suster, mev. Maryke Mortagua (33), gebel en albei het met hul gesinne na hul ouerhuis gejaag.
McLachlan se man, Ian (43), is in die huis in terwyl sy buite gewag het.
“Ian het gesê die huis was baie donker. ’n Serp het my ma se gesig toegemaak en hy kon kopwonde op my pa se gesig sien. Daar was glo nie baie bloed nie,” het McLachlan gesê.
McLachlan het gesê een van die werknemers op die hoewe het hulle verlede Maandag gebel met die nuus dat nog twee van die egpaar se honde dood is.
Mnr. Malan het vroeër die oggend op Zack, ’n Yorkshire-terriër, afgekom, wat vergiftig is.
“Twee van my vriende in die Vanderbijlpark-polisie het my pa na die kleinhoewe vergesel waar hulle talle bene met gif op gevind het.
“Iemand het vir die huiswerker by die kerk gesê my ouers is volgende en ons het nie geweet wat om daarvan te maak nie.
“My pa het toe probeer om ’n saak by die Groendenne-satelliet-polisiekantoor oop te maak, maar hy is weggewys omdat daar jurisdiksieprobleme is met waar hy woon.”
Die familie het ’n veiligheidswag gehuur om die hoewe in die aande op te pas. Hy was tot Donderdag daar, maar is laat gaan nadat laseralarms op die erf geïnstalleer is.
“Ons het aangeneem iemand sal in die aand iets probeer en nie in die dag nie.
Ek en my ma het Vrydagaand oor die telefoon gepraat en sy het gesê hulle wil Saterdag inkopies doen,” het McLachlan gesê.
Die aanvallers het ’n venster gebreek om in die huis te kom waar hulle die Malans ingewag het.
Die egpaar het in hul blou Toyota Corolla stilgehou en die inkopies in die huis ingedra toe hulle oorval is.
“My pa se beursie is nog saam met die kruideniersware op die kombuiskas.
My ma gaan bêre gewoonlik eerste haar handsak in die kamer en dit is langs haar lyk in die gang gevind,” het McLachlan gesê.
Volgens die familie lyk dit nie of enigiets gesteel is nie, maar ’n polisielid op die toneel het bevestig die slaapkamers is “omgekeer”.
Die egpaar se vuurwapens was nog in die kluis toegesluit en die motor is nie gesteel nie.
Konst. Teboho Lephoto, polisiewoordvoerder, het gesê hulle sal ondersoek instel oor waarom mnr. Malan weggewys is toe hy ’n saak aanhangig wou maak.
Die polisie het gisteraand twee jongmans van die omgewing ondervra.
Hulle was teen druktyd op pad na Deneysville op soek na nog twee mans.

Hulle was teen druktyd op pad na Deneysville op soek na nog twee mans.
