Here is a letter written by Wilhem Pretorius, one of the 24 men who were accused of treason and currently serving a prison sentence. We have in the past written about the phantom 'boeremag' situation and today, these men are suffering caused from the inhuman conditions of South African Prisons. I am also including a few links to previous articles for quick reference.

My name is Wilhem Pretorius. I am 35 years old and have been married since 2000. I am part of a group of 24 men in South Africa who were accused in the Boeremag Trial in 2002 of treason. We were improsined in 2002 as awaiting trial detainees and our trial commenced in May 2003. Its 10 years later and we are still awaiting trial. We have been repeatedly refused bail without good cause. This will be our 11th year being held in prison waiting for something. Is this not an infrin...gment of human rights?
Furthermore, we forwarded a motion to be treated as prisoners of war while we were being accused of waging a war of independence for the Boer people against South Africa. The motion was denied with many claims of errors being made by the judge as well as the South African Prosecuting Authority. The High Court Judge was not even aware of the international law (before the motion and we had to supply him with the said international laws.
Through various testamonies it has come to light that we have been set up by the very same people of the South African Police services that are handling the investigation. The whole case has been orchestrated by agents of Criminal Intelligence.
They not only planned it, but also through agents, provoked the people to take part in illegal actions and just stood watching for months, with full access to all the pertinent details, watching idly while more innocent people were becoming part of the "Boeremag" while receiving money from the secret fund. During the trial, they were listening in on privilege and confidential Client/Attorney conversations and even bugged our cells and consecrations facilities.
I have been tortured continually and during arrest for about 10 hours without any invetigation into the torture. The high ranking Police officials which tortured me are still in the Police service and were even part of the investigating team.

For the past 10 years we have been treated like animal in inhumane conditions. We have not been allowed any contact visits from our family and friends.
We are asking for your help to bring these continual human right violations to the attention of the international community and bring a stop to it.
The second thing that I want to bring under your attention is the parole of the other Boer people that are being held in prison. Some of them have been here prior to 1994. Their parole applications have and still are being refused solely on political grounds and they are long past the date of their initial prison term or parole.

The Boeremag and the South African Security Services
http://guardianlv.com/2014/01/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.
The Boeremag trial was the longest and the most expensive trial in the history of the South African judicial system. The transcript spans more than 60,000 pages. However, the story starts with CI and dovetails with the experience of Erasmus and his partners. A certain Major General Mark Henkel has boasted that the Boeremag was his creation. Hankel is allegedly also an MI6 agent (British Secret Service) and has been linked to many dubious actions.
In the Boeremag saga at the conclusion of the trial, all the policemen working on this matter received cash bonuses, a sum of R300,000 and escalated according to rank. The so called main witness, a certain Smit, a decidedly dubious character received some R 6,6 million as a bonus. This is extremely unusual. In the SAPS, as in the rest of the State, promotions would be the order of the day, not cash bonuses.
Hankel had taken over from retired General Andre Roos who was also an alleged MI6 agent and the handler of Thabo Mbeki, the previous President. The fact that the British MI6 would be in play in South Africa would make sense. The British had been in South Africa since 1812 and had benefited immensely from the South African riches. During the heydays of apartheid, South Africa was one of the fastest growing countries in the world with outstanding returns on investment. All British investments would have an exceptional return. This however brought other aspects into play, namely the advent of secret societies such as the Freemasons.
