Boeremag trial

Hello Everybody,

The first article dealt with the underlying facts of the length of the trial.

The Boeremag: The Phantom Threat to South Africa

In South Africa, the Boeremag, is a phantom threat that conjures up images of a terror group ready to kill black people on a massive scale. However, the reality is quite different.

The Boeremag is a paper tiger being used by people as a local bogeyman type threat. The so called Afrikaners could not stand together at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The Police generals could not abandon their juniors fast enough whilst trying to claim that they knew nothing.
The most expensive trial in the history of the RSA was the Boeremag trial. Several imbeciles were found guilty of trying to overthrow the government of the day as well as killing black people due to indiscriminate bombing. However, in this trial, evidence came to light that this group was trained by the local police and that the explosives used was supplied by the same police. The Afrikaans speaking judge did not see this discrepancy; an entire police operation which killed black people and assisted by white policemen.
In any other country, this issue would have been picked up on immediately. Not in South Africa.

The Boeremag a Phantom Threat to South Africa Continued

The Boeremag history and litigation have received extensive media coverage and this phantom threat to South Africa continues to unravel untold truths. The Boeremag trial is one of the longest trials in the history of South Africa. Nine years of grueling testimony ended with harsh sentences given to the accused twenty men. This case clearly shows the failing democracy of the country and points to one-sided domination.
The Afrikaner people of South Africa have played a pivotal role in building a suitable structure and foundation for a solid country. This minority group is certainly not without faults and to create a blame game would show the pettiness of the failing democracy.

This morning the 3rd article in the series was published.

The Boeremag and the South African Security Services

Are there sufficient indications to attest that the Boeremag and the South African Security Services (SASS) are tangled together in corruption? It would seem to appear that the SASS is a threat to democracy and that evidence presented has been ignored or it could have blatantly been used in a misleading manner.
How can any country have a democracy with these types of people not protecting the rights of innocent civilians but actually abusing them and stealing from them?
The South African Police Services (SAPS) has a division called Crime Intelligence (CI). This unit has been most often in the news and for all the wrong reasons. The CI’s biggest moment of victory had been when they succeeded in having the government believe that there exists a right wing organization called the Boeremag. They had established an audacious plan into action which commenced as early as 1992. The members of CI planned to build a future for them in the new South Africa under the African National Congress (ANC) regime. The planning was to create an alleged right wing movement group, called the Boeremag. The ANC led government clearly fears exactly such a monstrosity, irrespective as whether it exists or not. The officers in this unit would also create an atmosphere in which these allegations would be espoused and create a climate for action against anybody so labeled.
