Hate crimes in South Africa

6/5/2005 – CAPE TOWN. Discrimination against Afrikaners is causing unbearable hardships that did not exist prior to the ANC coming to power. Terrible poverty abounds among hundreds of thousands of destitute, unemployable Afrikaner artisan families in the towns of Vanderbijlpark, Sasolburg and other regions such as Pretoria-North, where Afrikaner working-class artisans congregate in large numbers - and it 's is getting worse by the day. Children are beginning to show malnutrition symptoms and medicines are also urgently needed.
The area is populated by hundreds of thousands of destitute disenfranchised Afrikaners ("whites") who live in utter poverty in a country with no social security for their racial group. They live surrounded by a sea of a vast hostility to all Afrikaner people, and are being suppressed by a regime which has made 'racial purity laws' to deliberately prohibit any and all food-aid to anyone from this so-called 'previously-advantaged race group", i.e. these destitute Afrikaners.
Donations can be made to Helping Hand Fund, run by Solidarity trade union.
------------------------
260,000 Afrikaner artisans fired from their jobs because they are white:While some one million Afrikaners have been able to emigrate, there's about two million left in South Africa - and by 2005, four hundred-thousand of these Afrikaners officially lived below the breadline of $60 a month according to trade union Solidarity and the Transvaal Agricultural Union. About 260,000 Afrikaners were fired from their jobs over the past 3 years alone only because of their skin color, despite being well-qualified for their jobs which many had held down for years. They were replaced by mostly unqualified Blacks with government ties.
- Marge Leitner of Afrikaner Charity writes that these Afrikaner artisan families find that the ANC government is their worst enemy - they do not even the right to apply for any jobs; and they are increasingly endangered by the ethnic cleansing campaign targetting them, and which is still gathering momentum: Leitner writes: "It is impossible for them to get work"... (due to the racial purity employment laws of the ANC-regime) "and most are totally dependent on the donations which Afrikaner Charity 's unpaid volunteers distribute...
Marge Leitner writes. "Children can't go to school, because they don't even have shoes or proper clothing. They don't get enough to eat, are constantly tired, covered in ulcers, and food, medicines, milk and tap water are luxuries.Among online organizations that collect money for destitute Afrikaners are: - http://www.helpendehand.co.za

ANC MP accused Jewish-SA MP Tony Leon of nazi warcrimes… :
2004-6-5 Liberal Afrikaner historian Professor Hermann Giliomee warns that the ANC parliamentarian Mbulelo Goniwe's comment in parliament that "it was only due to the largesse of the ANC that Democatic Alliance leader Tony Leon and his ilk weren't charged with nazi warcrimes and rotting away in jail right now..."
Giliomee said such hate-speech from such high ranking ANC parliamentarians is extremely dangerous - especially because he is not being whistled back by the country's dictatorial President Thabo Mbeki. Goniwe's hate speech thus can be interpreted as having the stamp of approval from Mbeki himself... and such hate-speech should not be ignored.
- - In the same parliamentary session, pres. Thabo Mbeki also warned that he wanted to "place the role of political minorities in the searchlight' - and that 'those marginalized minorities' should be 'drawn into national debates..."
"The impression is increasingly created (by the ANC regime's comments) that we are indeed a one-party state. The ANC does not tolerate any critical questions from the opposition about its national agenda - and especially about its black 'empowerment' policies. What the ANC refuses to admit to, is that minorities also have rights and that they are voting for opposition parties to represent their rights (in parliament)."
"Minorities such as Afrikaners - (who represent 6% of the population in 2005 but now are emigrating from the country in large numbers) -- clearly are being told that they are not allowed to object to the ANC's claims that they are thus only entitled to 6% of any economic posts, and are only allowed 6% political representation."
- (even though they pay more than 70% of the country's taxes due to the unfair taxation system, which places the heaviest burdens on white taxpayers) http://www.globalpolitician.com/2831-south-africa
Meanwhile, Russell Dickey, a visiting American radio broadcaster from San Siego - who had asked an innocent question about the filling of a samoosa from a Muslim cafe owner in Cape Town, South Africa in October last year - was threatened at knife point by the furious cafe owner. (A samoosa is an Asian fast food: a small fried pie with a spicy lamb filling)
His innocent question unleashed a tirade of anti-US hate speech and a death threat by Abudul Hoosen, 67, the knife-wielding Simon's Town cafe owner. With the knife held to his throat, the terrified tourist was bombarded by a torrent of hate-speech and abuse about US President George Bush and America's liberation of Iraq from Saddam Hussein's oppressive yoke.
- This was the testimony Friday in Simon's Town magistrate's court where Muslim-South African cafe owner Abdul Hoosen, 67, was convicted of assault. Dicky flew more than halfway around the world with his mom Sylvia Hagen to see justice done.Magistrate Williem Cornelius fined Hoosen R1500 (a mere $150) and declared him unfit to own a firearm.
- "I said pardon me? and he repeated: 'you Americans are very stupid."
- - Dickey said Hoosen then started with hate speech... 'he went on about the United States, and George Bush, and Iraq.
Dickey said a group of about 20 people had gathered to watch the exchange - and nobody intervened. He perceived this as a growing lynch-mob, and had been distraught, terrified and scared that Hoosen would carry out his threat to kill him.
- He said he had not provoked Hoosen and believed the South African muslim man was anti-American.
The Weekend Argus reports that after the threat, the American lodged a complaint with Simon's Town tourist office's Sue Sturman - who took him to the police station to lay charges. Sturman testified to this effort - adding that "so much effort had been made to make the town hospitable to visitors, that it was unthinkable for such a (racist) incident to happen."
- Hoosen has claimed in court that he 'did not recollect the incident." The American asked for, and received, an apology from the cafe owner after the trial. Dickey said 'it was about a principle. I didn't want him to get a prison sentence but I am glad that justice has been done." http://www.globalpolitician.com/2831-south-africa
