Summary: Afrikaner pupils, teachers attacked by vicious black protestors at schools countrywide; Mrs Louise Jacobs, 77: attacked on Heidelberg farm by five armed black men: 'Gran let shotgun do the talking"
----------------------------
2010-08-17 Wolfram Zwecker, Beeld Johannesburg – “I’m going to shoot you,” 77-year-old Louise Jacobs warned her attacker. When he swung his firearm toward her, she didn’t hesitate and let her shotgun do the talking. The buckshot blast, which wounded one attacker and made the rest run away brought the farm attack to a stop. Her husband Peet, 81, said the attack started a day earlier, on Friday.
DON’T MESS WITH THIS GRANNY…
-------------------------
“On Saturday morning I realised things had been stolen from my bakkie and that our one dog was sick. We gave him some milk and he was better after a while, but I knew something was going on,” Mr Jacobs said on Tuesday on their farm, about 12km outside Heidelberg on the Vereeniging road.
On Monday morning he went to the Heidelberg police station to report Friday night’s theft, when his wife phoned him and said she had just been attacked on the farm and shot one of the attackers.
“One of the policemen just said: ‘Go, I’ll organise everything.’ When I got to the farm, they (the police) were waiting for me. The police were here, members of the community policing forum and neighbours, the helicopter was in the air and they even had the dogs out here. The police really deserve congratulations for their level of service and how quickly they responded,” said Mr Jacobs.
According to Mrs Jacobs, one of their workers first said she suspected there were strangers behind the house. “I told her to jump over the electric fence and run, and I went to the bedroom to fetch the shotgun. “The next moment I heard them breaking open the security gate at the front door with a pick axe. Then one of them broke the window next to the front door with a firearm and climbed in.“He was still busy pointing the gun around when I shot – from here, from the security gate at the bedrooms. You can look straight at the front door from here. “He shouted to the others to run and they left in a hurry. Then I phoned my husband,” she says.
- “A little voice in the back of my head told me to ‘load the shotgun with buckshot’ the previous night,” said Mr Jacobs.
According to Thivhulawi Tshilate of the Heidelberg SAPS, a 33-year-old Zimbabwean suspect was apprehended in the area. He wasn’t however the wounded man. The Toyota Venture in which the five other suspects fled was later found deserted in Rondebult at Dawn Park, Boksburg. The police also found a trail of blood near the vehicle. Mrs Jacobs’ fearlessness in the midst of danger also showed itself a few years ago. A snake was lying next to the dogs bowl, and when she tried to chase it away with stones, it spat in her eye. “But that’s when I decided enough is enough and killed it with a rock before I went to the doctor,” she said. http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Gran-lets-shotgun-do-the-talking-20100817
White pupils, teachers attacked by black strikers from communist trade unions, forced to attend meetings:
Pupils and teachers in the predominantly “white Afrikaner” areas of South Africa – in the Vaal triangle, Durban and Jan Kempdorp -- were catching up with their schoolwork after a six-week layoff due to the World Cup 2010 football tournament on August 17 2010. During their revision sessions, the young scholars and teachers were attacked and their rights to education interfered with by by large numbers of striking blacks from South Africa’s predominantly communist-alliance trade unions – who invaded the schools and beat up the children and teachers inside. Female teachers were assaulted in their classrooms by the armed, black “protesters” – and were also forced to join the so-called “impromptu trade union meetings”, reports Beeld newspaper.
It’s not entirely clear what these large groups of armed black men were ‘protesting’ against. However teachers and parents say the children’s educational rights were severely interfered with and they fear that the children might now fail their exams because of this traumatic experience.
Schools were disrupted in the Vaal Triangle, Durban, and Jan Kempdorp on August 18 2010. Many final-year scholars already had their schooling year severely shortened. They now fear that they might fail their exams due to the deliberate disruptions of their educational rights. http://www.farmitracker.com/reports/view/464
