Farm murderers sentenced for Brits killing binge

The Brits community and South Africa will remember the reign of terror that besieged that town during March and June 2014. During these few months, five people were killed, endless robberies among farmers and a wave of panic caused havoc. A 44-year-old man was shot while at a family gathering, and his brother sustained serious injuries that almost paralyzed him.  There was the vicious attack on a family that resulted in the death of the 55-year-old. While visiting a farm in the Brits area, a 70-year-old was fatally shot. These are some of the horrendous crimes committed during a three-month period.

The killers Paulus Mandlazi, a 26-year-old and his accomplice, John Tivane, a 31-year-old from Mozambican were responsible for terrorizing the Brits residents. Fortunately, the police caught up with the thugs during their last robbery and killing spree and stayed behind bars until their trial.

During the court proceedings this week, Mandlazi said it was his hatred of whites that caused him to rob and kill them, and that white people attacked him. The Judge did not accept his statement and told him that it was done out of greed. There was no remorse and Mandlazi described his crimes as just going to work. Mandlazi received a total of five life sentences and a further 195 years for other charges. Some of the sentences will run concurrently. Mandlazi, a young man with a distinct hatred toward white people, in his heart, will now have plenty of time to reflect on his disgraceful criminal activities.

Partner in crime, John Tivane, cried bitterly while testifying and denied any involvement in the crimes. However, he was found guilty and sentenced to three life terms and over 100 years in prison for his criminal involvement in the Brits murders. 

So many people were affected by the vicious attacks that have scarred them for life. Two more dangerous offenders and farm murderers are locked up yet, the killings continue. Farm murders are one of the most frequent and horrendous crimes plaguing South Africa. A farmer is more likely to be attacked and killed than a police officer who is surrounded by danger most of the time.

The ANC are powerful according to Zuma

According to President Jacob Zuma, the African National Congress (ANC) is more powerful than it has ever been. During a speech yesterday, in Durban, the president went on to praise how wonderful the ANC have been working to correct the apartheid legacy.  Zuma only had good things to say about the ruling party, how they take care of God’s children. The president stated that the ANC built South Africa and is the only party that will give the people a bright future. 

Zuma wanted everybody to vote for the ANC in the upcoming municipal elections and said that every vote counts. The president wants members of other political parties to cast a vote for the ANC. 

What Zuma forget to say is that there is now a threat to the ruling party because people have woken up and can see what the ANC is doing. The ANC have become a cesspool of incompetent, lazy, self-enrichment politicians who participate in the stealing of the country’s riches.  The ANC are not an efficient and honest government.

Over the past 22 years, under the democracy of the ANC, South Africa has turned from a safe and secure country, into one of the most dangerous places. Crime has increased, and people are murdered daily. There is no peace, happiness and harmony but there is unemployment, overcrowding, and protesting happening all the time. The economy is threatened, and the currency that was once strong is weakened by the instability. South Africa is a dump, a dirty crime infested place.

The people who vote for the ANC are frightened, uninformed and manipulated. It is not a democracy, it is a dictatorship. When people start asking uncomfortable questions, the ANC talks about enhancing democracy. When the ANC do not want the people to know what is actually happening, they censor the truth. By clamping down on the media, the ANC have taken a step toward dictatorship. It would seem that there is only one way for South Africans, and that is the ANC way. Or at least until the people wake up from their slumber and vote the ANC out of government.

South Africa is Burning end of democracy VIDEO

WATCH THIS VIDEO - LET US ALL STOP TAKING SOUTH AFRICA BACKWARD

As the week ends and we watch how South Africa is burning, there are two vitally important points.

1) ‪Civil Unrest‬ and Riots‬ are being allowed to continue because this ensures that civilians demand military intervention.

If this happens - it could well be the end of democracy and ‎State Capture‬ will be absolute

2) ‎EFF‬ has made it clear that they will make the country ungovernable down the barrel of a gun by guerrilla tactics AND whatever means necessary. Keep this in mind when observing the current unrest.

‪Julius Malema‬ the president of the EFF has repeatedly said and we quote:

"Don’t think that ‪Zuma‬ is our enemy. Zuma is not our enemy, it’s just that he is standing in the way, and we must remove him to get our land back," said Malema‬.

"Zuma is standing between us and our enemy. Move out of the way. Zuma must pave the way because the #‎whites‬ are the one who stole our land."

If #ZumaMustFall‬ succeeds, then Malema will rise, and anyone who is not African will be annihilated - never let Malema fool you otherwise.

Today Indians, Pakistanis and Chinese were attacked in Limpopo and told to go home to their Mommies.

The town's Mosque in ‪Giyani‬ was stoned and vandalized today. Is this democratic?

Ask yourself why the rioters are behaving like this? Which politicians are behind this disgusting barbaric behavior?

Understand the long term devastating economic consequences of such antiquated and backward ‪Xenophobia‬ and ‎Racism‬

‪Mandela‬ was not imprisoned to see reverse apartheid enacted - any society which legally oppresses one race over another is not sustainable.

Before South Africa's first democratic election in 1994 a referendum was held in 1992.

The referendum was limited to White voters, who were asked whether or not they supported FW de Klerk ending apartheid.

They had to vote a simple YES or a NO to ending apartheid - our white brothers and& sisters voted an overwhelming YES to ending apartheid.

Never forget this fact which many politicians conveniently exclude from the facts of history.

SAPS since ‪Marikana‬ have been on a choke chain by the government who is scared of losing voters.

South Africa is burning, police are retreating, the government must let the SAPS do it's job the way it should be done.

Citizens must stop calling for military intervention.

Save the Rainbow Nation‬ and stand together‬.

I am not a racist but remind me why we are not killing white people

When somebody makes a statement claiming not be racist yet asks why white people are not being killed, it would mean an incitement to murder. On social media, the ugly race card has been activated again. 

Last week a video of a woman verbally using racist remarks against police officers made headlines. Apparently a case against the woman has been made, and she will be prosecuted for hate speech crimes. 

On social media, the woman has been on trial by the public, and there are many who are upset, disgusted and annoyed at the disrespectful verbal abuse towards police officers who only tried to help her after she was robbed. It is sad that people shout out racial rants without taking into consideration the effect the words would have upon others. 

What is annoying is the remarks by people who clearly have no respect for others and openly admit to hatred against her. Some are calling her “white trash” and others say she should be burnt alive. 

It is wrong, and hatred causes division. People are adamant to continue stirring dissension and as long as this continues the country will not heal. Calling for the woman to be burnt alive is hate speech and incitement to murder. How will there ever be peace in South Africa?

There is a strong opinion that black people are not racist, based on the belief that they never left the continent to invade others or forced their culture or beliefs onto others. There is the belief that the white people in South Africa are racist. 

We all know that racism does not come from any particular skin color, it is a feeling and a belief that there is a distinct inferior or superior difference between races.  Maybe at the time the woman shouted out racial remarks, she felt intimidated, scared or victimized. Perhaps the slanderous rants on social media are defining the inferior behavior of black people who feel compelled to retaliate.
