Die wit man in SA is gedoem, sê AWB-hoë

Kimberley - Die AWB sal op sy nasionale byeenkoms op 1 Mei besluit watter stappe gedoen gaan word om Terre’Blanche se dood te wreek.
“Ons kan nie anders nie as om af te lei dat die wit man gedoem is om vermoor te word in Suid-Afrika, op ’n veel wreder wyse as wat ons ooit in Zimbabwe gesien het. Terre’Blanche is met ’n panga en waterpype doodgeslaan,” het mnr. André Visagie, sekretaris-generaal, gesê.
Die regering gaan die ANC-jeugleier, mnr. Julius Malema, nie teë nie, en daarom is die wit man gedoem tot uitwissing.
“Ons word geen alternatief gelaat as om self ons lewens te verdedig nie,” het Visagie, wat ook die Noord-Kaap in die AWB-bestuur verteenwoordig, bygevoeg.
Hy het gereageer op die moord op die AWB se leier, mnr. Eugène Terre’Blanche.
“Die politieke aanloop tot wat gebeur het is vir ons ’n onontbreekbare gedeelte van die elemente wat bygedra het tot die voorval.”
Hy het verwys na die vroeëre Vryburg-situasie toe ’n kind met ’n mes of skêr gesteek is en mnr. Manne Dipico (toe Noord-Kaapse premier) en oudpres. Nelson Mandela vir die oortreder by die tronk (in Kimberley) blomme en ’n beurs gaan gee het.
“Jy sien hoe word mense wat blankes aanval deur die regering bygestaan en vertroetel. Jy voeg dit by Malema se ‘skiet die boere’-uitlatings.
“Jy voeg hierby mnr. Gwede Mantashe, sekretaris-generaal van die ANC, se goedpraat van dit wat Malema sê deur dit as tradisionele vryheidsliedjies af te maak, en voeg hierby pres. Jacob Zuma se stilswyende kondonering van Malema se oproep om die wit man dood te maak, en jy kan nie anders dink nie dat dit niks anders is as ’n doelwit wat die regering wou bereik nie.”
Hy het bygevoeg: “Zuma se kantoor het my ’n halfuur gelede gebel en my gevra wat mev. Terre’Blanche se telefoonnommer is sodat hulle meegevoel aan haar kan oordra.
Dit is vir ons niks werd nie vergeleke met wat hy (Zuma) kon beteken het as hy net standpunt ingeneem en Malema repudieer het.”
“Die afgryslike wyse waarop blankes nou deurlopend vermoor word – en ons praat van Colenso, Brits en Potchefstroom, alles wat die afgelope twee weke gebeur het, kan ’n mens nie anders nie as om tot die gevolgtrekking te kom dat Malema hom nie steur aan selfs ’n hofinterdik wat Donderdag teen hom verkry is om hierdie liedjies nie te sing nie.
“Dit maak die regering se beroep op mense om hul onwettige wapens in te lewer, niks anders nie as ’n beroep op die blankes om selfmoord te pleeg.
“Die ontwapende wit man in Suid-Afrika is ’n dooie wit man. Ons het dit geleer van Retief af en Terre’Blanche het dit male sonder tal in sy toesprake gesê.”
Visagie het gesê dit is ironies dat Terre’Blanche vermoor is juis oor die Paasnaweek waarin God destyds vir ons sondes gesterf het.

Murder to have 'little impact on SWC

Net hate speech 'not unusual'
Crime not linked to poverty
.
Johannesburg - With World Cup security plans under intense scrutiny following the killing of right-wing leader Eugene Terre'Blanche, the South African race relations institute downplayed the murder's impact on the safety of football's marquee event.
Lawrence Schlemmer, vice president of the SA Institute of Race Relations, told The Associated Press on Monday that the tournament can help ease tensions in the country.
"There is no reason why these things, as tragic as they are, should affect the safety of fans or players at the World Cup," Schlemmer said. "The World Cup and sport, as it is supposed to, channels passions and reconciles conflict."
Schlemmer's comments, in a phone interview with the AP, came a day after police minister Nathi Mthetwa said he was worried about the image of the host country following the brutal killing of Terre'Blanche on Saturday on his farm near Ventersdorp, about 110km north west of Johannesburg.
"We are always concerned about the perception of South Africa," Mthetwa said on Sunday in Ventersdorp, close to the scene of the 69-year-old Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) leader's grisly murder.
"It's the violent nature of crime in South Africa that makes us (be) concerned and (be) worried."
But Mthetwa said the government has taken a tough stance against crime and the killing of Terre'Blanche, who was bludgeoned to death, will not affect the World Cup.
No race war
"I can say that with the plans we have put in place, with our tough stance in the fight against crime, we are starting to see the results," Mthetwa said.
"There will be no person who commits crime in South Africa and kill people or a person, and get away scot-free without the full might of the law."
Schlemmer said international media headlines that referred to a race war in South Africa were "superficial".
"Ever since the late 1950s there have been predictions of race war in South Africa," Schlemmer said. "The fact is that race war has never happened.
"There is no reason why these things should wash over to the safety of tourists," he said.
Terreblanche was killed in his bed in what police described as a wage dispute with two of his black workers. A 15-year-old male and a 28-year-old male have been arrested by police and will appear in court on Tuesday.
The mother of the 15-year-old murder suspect told AP Television News on Monday that her son struck Terre'Blanche with an iron rod after the farmer refused to pay him.
Malema
The incident has increased racial tensions in the country and added to safety fears less than 10 weeks ahead of the World Cup.
The AWB has said the singing of an apartheid-era resistance song by ANC Youth League President Julius Malema, which includes the lyrics "shoot the boer", led to the murder.
AWB general-secretary Andre Visagie said the killing of Terre'Blanche was a "declaration of war" by blacks against whites in South Africa.
Visagie said his group would tell teams to reconsider their participation in the World Cup.
"We're going to warn those nations, 'You are sending your soccer teams to a land of murder,"' Visagie said. "Don't do that if you don't have sufficient protection for them."
Team and fan safety for the June 11 to July 11 event was already subject to close examination because of the country's high rate of violent crime.
The World Cup organising committee said on Monday that they would not comment on Terre'Blanche's murder. Local organising committee spokesperson Rich Mkhondo referred the AP to government statements.
Police and the South African government have said the murder was not a political crime, and would have no impact on the World Cup.
Not only for blacks
President Jacob Zuma called for calm following the "terrible deed" and asked South Africans "not to allow agent provocateurs to take advantage of this situation by inciting or fueling racial hatred".
The government is hoping to ward off any rise in racial tensions just over two months before a global spotlight falls on South Africa, the first World Cup host on the continent.
ANC spokesperson Jackson Mthembu told the AP that it was wrong for the AWB to cast doubt on security preparations for the World Cup. Mthembu said the World Cup was for all South Africans.
"This is a World Cup for all of us, not only black people of this country. We have to give all the support we can for the World Cup to happen here in South Africa."
"And we think our compatriots in the AWB should do the same as other patriotic South Africans."
Interpol secretary general Ronald Noble said in Johannesburg last week he was satisfied with South Africa's security plans for the World Cup. About 41 000 police officers will be deployed for the month long tournament.
Terre'Blanche's killing comes amid growing disenchantment among blacks for whom the right to vote has not translated into jobs, better housing or education.
South Africa hopes the commercial benefits of hosting one of the world's biggest sporting events will help address these problems for the poor black majority.
The AWB said Terre'Blanche's funeral will take place on Friday in Ventersdorp.
