The Nelson Mandela Foundation, Zuma biographer Jeremy Gordin, and a Gauteng government official all expressed growing concern of renewed outbreak…

Summary: The Mandela Foundation warns against the xenophobic-attacks purportedly planned from the last day of the World Cup 2010 – after all the tourists and foreign journalists have gone home. These aren’t idle threats: horrific xenophobic attacks in South Africa against black foreign Africans lasted 11 days in May 2008; starting simultaneously in DuNoon in the Western Cape and Diepsloot in Gauteng – and spreading within hours to 138 different townships countrywide. Sixty-one people were murdered (officially) – many were torched to death inside their shacks. Twenty-one victims were South African citizens. About 100,000 people were (conservatively estimated) chased from their homes. Up to 30,000 shops of foreign traders in townships were looted. Far less report was the fact that many thousands of white and Asian families and business people were also attacked for harbouring fleeing black migrant families. The main perpetrators of xenophobia were young black South African males, often AIDS-infected and due to the dementia caused by AIDS, quickly incited to suicidal violence. And it’s starting again… in fact in Diepsloot according to Jacob Zuma’s biographer Jeremy Gordin, Zimbabweans are already being killed: and the police don’t show up until it’s all over…

Somali shopkeepers targetted: xenophobic murder-attacks in Bloekombos squatter camp, Western Cape.

News has only now come to light that two weeks ago, Somali shopkeepers were targetted in the Western Cape’s Bloekombos squatter camp by xenophobic attack groups. Four young SA males were arrested by the local SAPS and charged with attempted killing and terrorising Somali shopkeepers - with Cape Town journalist Tshego Lepule reporting that these youths were “given the guns and paid by local black South African businessmen in “tik” (meths-drugs) and cash... – story Tik is the scourge of Cape Town youths

A man who calls himself Chris Sankara – but his actual name is Chris Mathebula – writes to his 934 friends on Facebook that he’s an APLA COMBATANT (June 25 2010) and also notes:

1. “Whites are on a global genocidal assault against Afrikan people. They are killing us in a multitude of ways. One of the most effective means of murdering black people was initiated by a white female named Margaret Sanger…’
2. “I was invited as a guest speaker in two different places in Soweto by Soweto Concerned Residents because of the failures of the so-called government by unservice delivaries. All I can tell you now is that the masses are very angry and that we will see more angry unservice delivery protests after this soccer session’.

JEREMY GORDIN: Zuma biographer: “ Xenophobia had raised its ugly, ugly head again… and has already started: “

June 24 2010 – Jeremy Gordin – biographer of Pres Jacob Zuma -- refers to the growing threat of xenophobia as ‘mayhem’ when he writes: “Until recently, say four-five weeks ago, when my car radio gave up the ghost, I spent a fair amount of time, while doing the early morning school shuttle, listening to John Robbie on Radio 702 - carrying on about the possibility of new xenophobic attacks.”

“I have written "carrying on" because I found it irritating - and irresponsible. Why keep putting things into people's heads if they aren't there? Why raise issues that don't need raising? Why sow panic?

“But it seems that I might have been the arse. A focused look across the news of the last three weeks or so shows that xenophobia has raised its ugly, ugly head again, so much so that the government has re-established an inter-ministerial committee (IMC) to deal with xenophobic attacks against foreigners during or soon after the world cup.

ANC: "… it will not be tolerated”

“The IMC will liaise with civil society structures to ensure that a country-wide approach is adopted to prevent any form of violence against anyone," cabinet spokesperson Themba Maseko said. "Government," he added, "would like to re-iterate that any attacks are totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated. The law enforcement agencies will not hesitate to act speedily and decisively against anyone found to incite or participate in violent acts against foreign nationals."

“Most chillingly - for me, anyway - was a conversation I had yesterday with a Wits student who is part of the "2010 football newsroom" that I am news editing at Wits' Journalism school: (vuvuzelanews@gmail.com http://www.vuvuzela.org.za/index.php/wits-voices-a-views/vuvuzela-blog-test

“She hails from Limpopo and went last weekend to visit some relatives living in Diepsloot. There she interviewed some locals who said they were going to "attack" foreigners as soon as the world cup was over. I said to her that I wasn't happy with running a story in which unidentified people made these "hate" claims about what they would do later to foreigners living in their community.

"I mean, this is serious tuff we're talking about. The last time this happened, there were 62 people murdered," I said. "I know," she said - and then told me the background story to her interviews.

Policemen arrived later… after the killing was over…

“She had encountered a huge crowd that had gotten hold of a young Zimbabwean. Crowd members claimed they had caught him stealing soccer tops from a vendor - and they beaten him to a pulp. "Blood was running his face when they took him away, I was very frightened," she said to me. "Taking him where?" I asked. "Some of the kids who went with the crowd told me later that he had been killed. They told me that they were killing people like that Zimbabwean almost every day." "Weren't there any policemen around?" I asked.

"Yes," she replied, "they arrived later, after it was over. I believe that what happens is that the police make sure that they arrive late in Diepsloot. If they intervened and tried to save the victim, the crowd would attack them - and they're frightened of that."

“Her story had, alas, the ring of truth. It seems that while our police are being coerced into worrying about young women in orange mini-skirts or irascible English fans going to talk to their team in the changing rooms, serious, murderous mayhem is brewing again.” (This was a summary.

South African resident Shaba Kolokoto warns on June 14 2010: “I have visited the Alexandra, Diepsloot, Olievenhoutbosch and other informal settlements…. and you can smell the hatred… in Diepsloot the attacks may start the day Bafana crashes out of the World Cup…

This following warning was placed on Facebook on June 14, 2010, by a high-level provincial government official named Shaba Kolokoto – who issued an urgent wearning to ‘do your bit to stop this ugly phenomenon from happening’. He writes: “Deep in the hearts of some people of South Africa, anger is fermenting and hatred of fellow man has reached boiling point. Xenophobia is here! It is rearing its ugly face once again. Intelligence has it that xenophobic attacks are scheduled for the 13th of July 2010 in Alexandra, Diepsloot, Olievenhoutbosch and other informal settlements. I have validated the information by visiting these areas and I must say, you can smell the hatred. In Diepsloot, the attacks may start the day Bafana Bafana crashes out of the World Cup.” :

Threats against foreigners, whites soar

After South African team’s second loss in WC2010, the Facebook pages are awash with calls to ‘kill all foreigners..’ including threats to kill Bafana’s white coach Pereira.

Adriana Stuijt – a.j.stuijt@knid.nl - More than 3,150 emails were received by us since May 2010 - with warnings from many black workers warning their employers that threats are received while the workers are travelling on taxis and trains of organised plans of an ethnic cleansing campaign which will start from about July 12 – but thus far these are just rumours -- we need video proof.

One bullet – one white infant

One shocking facebook comment by Ncebo Sodo (picture below) - a young Port Elizabeth man who said he worked at Safmarine, and was recently recorded: he coined the slogan “ One Bullet – One White Infant”. Even if all of this hatespeech and xenophobia-threats are mere ‘venting’ – it would be irresponsible not to report them.

As mentioned above, similar threats have also been uttered against foreign blacks in South Africa over the past few months – prompting the ANC-regime to set up a committee to try and counteract this. The SA Human Rights Commission has also mentioned these threats as have associations of foreign-refugees such as the Somali Association in South Africa. http://www.somaliassociation.org/news/node/366

By June 21 2010 the many hundreds of hatespeech messages being posted by black South African Facebook members also provide considerable proof that unless they are all just ‘venting’ -- there are widespread plans for a massive ethnic-cleansing campaign – and that the foreign tourists are also included in these plans. Before the previous 2008 ‘xenophobic attacks’ gangs of South African youths also ‘jack-rolled’ through the townships demanding to hear people pronounce specific xhosa-words to establish whether they were ‘foreigners’ or not – and then warning the ‘foreigners’ to get out of the country by a specific date. Tens of thousands fled from the townships: some didn’t do so in time and were even torched to death right in front of the TV cameras. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8NaM6XK-0E

For instance, North West province resident Tebogo Fonfo Diphoko (above) writes: “"Let's get rid of them I say. Am going to buy phanga (sugar-cane knife, panga) and get some old car tires... (...) "Let us end the world cup, ba-boele magabone, who is from Alexandra 'xenophobic'...? “ He describes himself as an honours-graduate in Labour-Relations of NW University in 2006; and a “ highly motivated young man, who is determined to succeed no matter what......look im going high and nothing is stopping me…”.http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=92047&id=100001108447359#!/profile.php?id=1152724133&ref=search

And Witwatersrand student, Sanele Nene, right, wrote: “It is time to start our xenophobic attacks on every foreigner in this country, the world cup is over for us so they must voertsek…’

He adds: “Yes it is the time that all South Africans have been waiting for. It’s time to start our xenophobic attacks on every foreigner in this country, the world cup is over four us so they must voertsek*, no more friendly South Africa, it’s time four us to show them what Mzansi is really good at… Abahambe bonke..’ Solomzi Marawu agreed, writing “That’s true they must get out for sure.’’

(Voertsek: *Afrikaans word derived from ‘voort sê ek’ – often used to chase away dogs)

Many others, such as Ms Khavi Mavodze also write: “… foreigners leave our country (…) be warned, xenophobia is our first name…’

One person calling himself Joshua Irwin writes: “let the xenophobia commence, bloody agents Uruguayans, I am gonna set Malema on your asses.’

Khavi Mavodze writes (second picture below) : “The World (cup) is over please foreigners leave our country and take your brother Perreira along, we don’t care even if his bank account is loaded with South African money, as for you ref, be warned, xenophobia is our first name…’ Percy Masete agrees, writing: ‘if we don’t make it to the next round, all the foreigners must go…’

Allot Baloyi writes below: “tomorrow we start the xenophobic attacks. Ja-nee my boys lost ‘crying’. I’m still proudly SA”. We are going to steal the cup it ain’t leaving this country ‘evil grin’. Fana Lebotha III writes: “Steal it! It is here. Fk Bafana Bafana. Every tourist owes me.’

Tshofolelo Busta Mokgobi writes: “… I think we can start the xenophobic attacks now, instead of after the world cup. ‘

Tebogo Kingsley Nterejane writes below: “If we lose a second time I say xenophobic attacks all these people must voertsek before sunrise..’

Gobizizwe Shange writes below that he’s at a construction site with Zimbabweans and ‘they are worried about xenophobic attacks on 12 July, since South Africa lost last night, say South Africans will take out their anger on them’.

‘July 12 we will kill all the whites...' Afrikaners, black workers warned…

By Adriana Stuijt. a.j.stuijt@knid.nl Over the past two months, I have received over 3,150 emails from people countrywide about warnings their black workers receive on taxis, trains and in the streets. These workers are reportedly warned that from a specific date – July 12 in Gauteng and the Western Cape; July 14 in Limpopo – an ethnic-cleansing campaign will be launched which will target all their white employers. These threats also include warnings to the workers that unless they also participate in the slaughter, the workers also will be killed in revenge.

Black foreigners targetted - again:

Similar threats have also been uttered against foreign blacks in South Africa over the past few months – prompting the ANC-regime to set up a committee to try and counteract this. The SA Human Rights Commission has also mentioned these threats. http://www.somaliassociation.org/news/node/366

We can’t ignore these threats – but we need video proof:

These threats must indeed be taken seriously because this has happened before: in the runup to the xenophobic killings whch started on a specific date in May 2008 in 135 locations across the entire country in an eleven-day period of untrammeled violence, well-organised, black youth gangs were also going through the townships to identify black Africans and to mark their houses. These Xhosa-speaking youths often identified the foreigners by asking them to pronounce specific words in isi-Xhosa – and if they couldn’t, they were told to ‘get out or we will kill you.’

The problem with the media reports from South Africa is that while some of the facts are mentioned – these are always overwhelmed by the ANC-propaganda. The propagandists will say that ‘South Africa still needs to emancipate itself from tribalism’. There was however an overwhelming body of evidence that these xenophobic attacks were well organised by high-level ANC-officials… and while people were being ‘arrested’ in front of the news media - they also were released into their communities almost at once.

IDENTICAL HATE-SPEECH PATTERN AS WAS ALSO SEEN IN 2008 BEFORE THE XENOPHOBIC OUTBREAK:

Over the past two months, the same hate-speech pattern which was seen developing before the xenophobic attacks were launched in May 2008, is also being reported in South Africa. This time it targets two minority groups: the black foreigners and the country’s 3-million Afrikaners. I started logging these warnings received by Afrikaners from their black workers since May 2010 – and the pattern is still spreading steadily. I have started a map – based on the SA Police Service map showing the areas where most of the armed attacks against families inside their homes took place in 2008/9. Based on the comments contained in the threats to Afrikaner families, one can presume that the same areas where the ‘whites’ are still predominant, will be targetted. It’s not too late: it can still be stopped.

One Afrikaner man who lives in Strand reported that their Zimbabwean maid reported about a meeting was held in the local squatter camp over the weekend where the issue was discussed. Some workers said they would refuse to participate in the planned attacks, and the meeting ended in a fight.

It is important to know that I am unable to verify these reports with any proof in the form of video-interviews with the black workers who sounded the verbal warnings. Yet there are so many varieties flooding into my inbox since May, that they can’t be ignored either. I have received two tape-recordings where black maids told of these threats – but I need the video evidence.

PLEASE RECORD THOSE VERBAL THREATS ON YOUR CELLPHONES

I am therefore asking members of Censorbugbear-Reports to please start recording these threats received from their black workers on their cellphones and send me the evidence. I will place them on this page. To protect their identity they can be filmed from behind… but we need to hear and see the proof. It’s also important to find out the names of the organisations which are organising these meetings and uttering these threats – so that legal action can be taken against them, as was done with Julius Malema and his hatespeech-threat “Shoot the Boers’...

“Boer farmers should be prepared to defend themselves and also be ready to leave South Africa’ – Dr Gregory Stanton of Genocide Watch:

The Malema-threat has not subsided through these court-actions banning his hate-speech songs: Genocide Watch president Dr Gregory Stanton warned our member Henri Le Riche recently that if Malema gained political power in South Africa in his internal leadership battle inside the ruling African National Congress, ‘Boer farmers should expect no assistance from human rights groups or from Western European or American liberals. They should be prepared to defend themselves, and be ready to leave South Africa.” http://censorbugbear-reports.blogspot.com/2010/06/amnesty-intl-ignores-sa-farm-murders.html

Stanton also recently wrote to Solidarity trade union in South Africa, stating that they were considering moving the threat against the Boers up a level, to level 6 (preparation) which is the final level just before all-out high-level genocidal attacks most people generally believe to be 'genocide'.

Stanton wrote that if Julius Malema remained president of the ANC-youth league and continued to chant the genocidal hate-speech chant "Shoot the Boer, they are all rapists', as he has been allowed to do for the past year, Genocide Watch would indicate the ANC-youth league as a genocidal group which was planning to carry out genocidal-attacks against the Boers.

“Afrikaners are the target of ethnic-violence” – UNPO

Picture: Afrikaner-members of UNPO Dr Pieter Mulder, left and Andre Fourie at the UNPO annual congress in Rome, Italy May 2010

The Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation – which represents 200-million people worldwide and has 54 minority-group members – also issued a unanimous statement at its annual meeting in Rome, Italy, condemning the South African farm-murders/attacks against the Afrikaners, labelling these as "Serious Human Rights Violations' during their annual general meeting in Rome, Italy. http://censorbugbear-reports.blogspot.com/2010/05/farm-murders-serious-human-rights.html

UNPO statement: "Afrikaners in general, and the Afrikaner farmers in particular, are the target of ethnic violence. The South African murder rate is extremely high at 48 murders per 100,000 of the population, compared to 2 murders per 100,000 in Europe, for example. If Afrikaner farmers are taken as a statistical population, the murder rate is 287 per 100,000. This is a grave situation, with more than 2,000 Afrikaner farmers having already been murdered in the last 13 years* . http://www.unpo.org/content/view/8148/247/
