‘The number of Whoonga addicts is in the hundreds of thousands…’

Imported AIDS medication by the SA government is resold on the drug market; mixed with marijuana and used as a new narcotic drug.Whoonga is its name - and thousands of government officials and HIV-infected patients sell the ingredients for the new narcotic, which has spread within the past year throughout the country. Whoonga is a Heroin mixed with marijuana, and bulked with anything from rat poison, powdered detergent and various anti-retroviral drugs.It is distributed as a fine brownish white powder and smoked in marijuana cigarettes.

“The number of addicts is in the hundreds of thousands.."said Thokozani Sokhulu, founder of Project Whoonga. The addicts’ pursuit of the antiretroviral medicine Stocrin, which is donated and imported as capsules and tablets, threatens to reduce the government’s anti-AIDS program to absurdity. About 700,000 South Africans receive the medicine, which costs between 15 and 35 rand (2.10 to 4.90 dollars) per dose. Patients are afraid they could become the target of criminals. Nurses have been  caught stealing the pills, according to a report in the Sunday Times.

• Police departments get increased reports of organized attacks on vehicles transporting the medicine or on clinics where it is stored. In the city of Durban security officials believe that the fight over control of the whoonga market is behind to two recent gang wars in which 11 people have been killed.

South African police spokesman Vish Naidoo stressed that “police are aware of the problem and have it under control”. However, AIDS organizations have reported on hundreds of assaults in recent months. Alone in Umlazi Township in Durban, 25 patients have been robbed in recent weeks.

People even  intentionally let themselves become infected with HIV so that they can get the drug. Vincent Mdunge, a provincial police spokesman, admitted in the Sunday Times that the problem is much worse than the  police believed. The narcotic is described by Project Whoonga as a killer drug.

About  1,000 people die from AIDS every day, nearly every third pregnant woman is infected and the number of children who have been orphaned by AIDS is more than  1 million and growing. The disease has caused a clear drop in life expectancy in the country. Many hundreds-of-thousands of patients take antiretroviral drugs to stave off the onset of fullblown AIDS. Medicines which often are donated by the container-loads from abroad.

Whoonga is highly addictive. Even on the first day of use, users already report heavy cravings. It is also dangerous, because it reduces both heart and lung function. In overdose, heart and lung function reduction becomes fatal. Withdrawal symptoms reportedly involve both craving and pain, which are temporarily relieved by fresh doses of the drug.

The anti-retroviral drugs used to make whoonga are those distributed in the area to patients with HIV. The major sources of the anti-retrovirals appears to be robbery of HIV patients. There are media reports of HIV patients being mugged for their pills as they leave the clinics where they obtain them. Reports also indicate that some patients sell their HIV medications and that some corrupt health workers may be selling the anti-retrovirals illegally into the whoonga market

The cost of the drug is reported to be about 20 rand, or three US dollars. However, reports indicate that a whoonga addict needs several doses a day, and users are typically too poor to afford the drug out of their legal income. Addicts therefore turn to crime to raise the money for their supply. There are reports that some whoonga addicts attempt to become HIV-positive, since anti-retrovirals are distributed to poor HIV patients free of charge…

Afrikaner Genocide widely reported:

December 1 2010 - Ottosdal cattle-farmer Willem Grobbelaar, two farm-managers and two workers were released on low bail amounts after they were arrested over a fisticuffs with local squatters related to destruction of farm-fencing and wandering livestock. Grobbelaar was released from hospital only yesterday -- he was hospitalised after he was seriously injured by the arresting police at the Hartbeesfontein police cells after his arrest on Monday November 22, he testified at his bail application.

----------------------------

 The case has of course created a new excuse for Cosatu trade union to truck in ‘impromptu local resident protestors’ who were foot-stomping and yelling hatespeech as usual outside the magistrate’s court yesterday.

-----------

Susan Cilliers of Beeld newspaper says arrested were Willem Grobbelaar, 46, farm managers Daniël Dupper (41) and  Willie Pienaar (30), and the workers Andries Senatle (25) and Dawid Melamu (24). They are facing ‘attempted murder’ charges after a mutual fight between two squatters on the Grobbelaar farm, Ezekiël and Phillip Letlakane last Monday. The family-members of the accused men hired private security vehicles to transport the accused men safely through the screaming crowd.

Captain Jerry Maboitshega, who investigated the event on the farm, told the court during the bail application that the Letlakanes live on Grobbelaars farm Kareekuil ‘but do not work for him. They are part of a large group of people who lived on the land when Grobbelaar purchased it a few years earlier.’

Their legal counsel Advocate Louis Vertue said the fight erupted between the two groups because the Letlakane-group regularly break down fthe encing adjacent to the highway – and that Grobbelaar feared that his prized bulls – each worth around R31,000 – will be run down while wandering away and onto the highway. Vertue said on the day in question the bulls had wandered off again and Grobbelaar had taken his four co-workers with him to chase the animals back to their camp.

While chasing the bulls the farmer and his workers got into a fisticuffs about the fence-destruction habits of the squatters. Things got out of hand, the court heard: Ezekiël Letlakane was in hospital for a few days after being knocked out and sustaining injuries to his face, head and an arm as did Phillip.

However three of the five accused also sustained injuries – but the injuries sustained by the farmer during and after his arrest were very serious: Pienaar testified that he was assaulted by the SAPS at the Hartbeesfontein police cells – and was released from hospital only yesterday-morning after he was treated for ‘serious injuries’.  

State advocate Sello Maema did not oppose bail. Grobbelaar said he would remove his livestock from the farm altogether, because one of the conditions of bail is that the accused men are not allowed to go to the farm nor have any contact with the squatter-group there.

‘Dewani never wants to return to Cape Town’

December 1 2010 Cape Times journalist Caryn Dolley has interviewed Max Clifford, the British public-relations specialist hired by Shrien Dewani, the widower of murdered honeymoon tourist Anni Dewani. He was quoted as saying that “Dewani does not want to return to Cape Town ever again.”  She reportedly spoke to Clifford by telephone on Tuesday. caryn.dolley@inl.co.za

“The last place in the world he ever wants to go to again is Cape Town. But in order to help police ... he’ll do so,” Clifford reportedly told the Cape Times journalist. Clifford said Dewani was currently staying at his home near Bristol under a doctor’s supervision as the strain of his wife’s murder and the media speculation about it had affected his health.
“He’s been through so much trauma and shock as you can imagine. He was madly in love with someone and very, very happy. That was destroyed in a minute. It turned into the worst nightmare in a minute.”
Clifford said media reports suggesting Dewani was a suspect in his wife’s murder were false and had taken a toll on Dewani and his family. It’s obviously made a horrible nightmare even worse. So many lies have come out of South Africa that (the family is) getting used to it.” Clifford said the South African media was reporting “one lie after another day to day” and he was not sure who the source of the inaccurate information was. “You tell me. You’re there.”
He did not say anything negative about British newspapers. “According to my sister, who lives in South Africa, it’s very predictable. Billy Gundelfinger (Dewani’s Johannesburg-based attorney) says this is the way (the media) does it in South Africa.” Dewani was not keeping in touch with South African police and was relying on Gundelfinger to keep him up to date. “Police have just contacted him to say ‘you’re not a suspect’,” Clifford said.
On Monday, three black  suspects, Mziwamadoda Qwabe, 25, Xolile Mngeni, 23, and the driver of their car, Zola Robert Tongo, 31, appeared in the Wynberg Regional Court, where the case was postponed to next Monday.
Details about a plea agreement involving Tongo, who was driving Shrien and Anni Dewani when they were hijacked on November 13 2010 -- while enroute to a famous restaurant, much praised by the UK news media and top chefs --  are expected to emerge then. Police are reportedly looking for a fourth suspect, but are refusing to comment. caryn.dolley@inl.co.za - Cape Times

Two incidents of intimidation, death-threats and arrests without formal charges targetting Boer self-defence groups have been reported to me this week. The first incident involved the arrest of Günther Kotze, 32, arrested right after a brief appearance at the Witbank magistrate’s court yesterday. The second incident was reported from the Azri 'El Volksgenootskap en Burger Party  , a small Christian self-defence Boer group at the West Rand, whose leaders have been receiving death threats from members of the ANC-youth league, according to their own media statement. (follows below).

------------------------------------

Günther Kotze re-arrested Witbank on vague charges
December 1 2010 – WITBANK - Beeld journalist Gerhard Pretorius reports that Günther Kotze, one of the ten young Boers who were arrested in a high-profile raid of the Boer Genocide museum farm near Balmoral, Witbank, was re-arrested shortly after the men had appeared briefly in the local magistrate's court. Their case – charges have still not been formulated since their Oct 1 2010 arrest – was postponed to January 2011.

• background report on the October 1 2010 arrest of ex-32nd Battallion commander Willem Ratte and the young Boer men he was teaching the building trade to: http://censorbugbear-reports.blogspot.com/2010/11/bomb-near-witbank-court-at-willem-ratte.html

It's indeed a deepening mystery: the charges against these Boers have still not been formulated yet they were arrested on October 1 in a blaze of publicity with widely published claims by the SAPS of illegal arms caches and plans to overthrow the government..

At their previous appearance, counsel for the accused Johan van Wyk told the court their arrests were unlawful as there had been no search warrant for the farm where they were arrested, and the men had not done anything unlawful.

 Picture: Five of the 12 weapons seized were legal pellet guns for which no licence was required, while the others were all licensed and many also were the usual farm-implements… some were antiques from the museum. The SAPS lso produced a defence-force-issue military assault weapon without ammunition (*held seperately on this photograph) and which they had found 'hidden up a tree' when they’d 'searched the farm'. Arrested on October 1 2010 during the raid at the Boer Genocide museum in Balmoral were: Willem Ratte, 63, Eugene Becker (48), Justin Schoeman (18), Günther Kotze (32), Corné de Beer (22), Petrus Visser (20), Marais Bouwer (30), Raymond Senekal (43), Wesley Borman (24) , Christopher Meyer (27).

----------------------------------

While the ANC-propaganda machine has been spreading massive amounts of disinformation and produced their pictures of this truly weird ‘arms cache’ – they also produced a defence-force-issue military assault weapon without ammunition (*held seperately on this photograph) and which, according to the police, they had found 'hidden up a tree' when they’d 'searched the farm'. However this search was carried out without any kind of legal warrant. And Ratte told the court he’d never seen that gun in his life and it wasn’t his. They also illegally confiscated his laptop computer and other personal items which he wanted returned.

Picture: The decidedly quirky Mr Kotze was re-arrested yesterday allegedly for writing on his Facebook page that he'd damaged an obelisk-shaped Boer-Concentration camp memorial on November 2, 2010 ‘because of an instruction in the Bible that obelisks must be destroyed'. It's a mystery why he was re-arrested because, writes Beeld journalist Gerhard Pretorius, he'd heard 'from a reliable source' that the charge was going to be dropped anyway…. Mr Kotze had repaired the damage himself shortly thereafter. His strange act of vandalism did not go down all that well with his fellow-Boers.

• Warrant officer Steve Msiza, named as the investigating officer in this  murky case - which smacks of outright persecution by the State --  did confirm that he'd 'heard that the case against Kotze possibly may be dropped but he couldn't confirm anything at this stage.' So why is Kotze sitting in a police cell again? http://www.beeld.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Boere-Viking-in-hegtenis-oor-monument-20101130

Picture: Willem Ratte at his previous court appearance was photographed clearly physically weakened by his hunger-strike: however he initially refused advice from worried relatives and friends looking on from above, urging him to start eating again and to apply for bail.

He was later released on a very low amount of bail, which he did not want to apply for because he said he was 'arrested while totally innocent of any charges. The SAPS had held him incarcerated since his arrest on October 1 2010 – and by November 30 2010 have not yet been able to formulate any charges against him or the other men arrested with him. 

The rumours being spread lately by the police --  in the absence of formal charges before the court -- are that the men also face "charges of illegal possession of dagga/marijuana  (which police-had found on an adjacent farm according to Ratte), unlicensed firearms and ammunition.

=========================

Azri’El self-defence group’s leaders received death threats:

The Azri 'EL Volksgenootskap en Burger Party says in its statement, issued by its leader Johan Els, that they have ‘they have obtained knowledge that the ANC youth league is planning to eliminate specific leaders of their group; that they plan to plant evidence pointing the finger of blame to Azri’EL.’

Els said in his statement that their group, the Azri 'EL Volksgenoorskap and Burger Party, has organised itself as a self-defence unit against crime and to stand up against the persecution of all the Boer Citizens in the country, ‘in all sectors of society’.

“Our people cannot find jobs because we are too white, and the jobs are reserved for blacks even when we are better qualified, we are told our skills are not needed as we are either overqualified or too inexperienced...”

“However these excuses does not hold up: our skills are needed: our country is deteriorating rapidly with a rapid destruction of the infrastructures, the government departments and the general lack of service-delivery by the State also reflect on the problems in the private sector. There is daily, widespread corruption throughout all layers of society. Our mines are in the hands of the government and its black-empowerment groups and are being closing down – and those who are in charge of them are walking away with bags of money. The common citizens all suffer from these conditions – yet the government  refuses to intervene or to stop the corruption.

Anyone who dares to stand up and complain about this situation is attacked or sent of for ‘anger-management training’.

Our group tries to defend its members against these criminals, these corrupt individuals and those who are leading us around by our noses. We insist on standing up for our rights as described in our country’s Human Rights Manifesto. We are deliberately being alienated from our Christianity because paganism and alien religions are being forced upon us. We have set it as our purpose to gather together our Boer people under the banner of God, for He will forgive us and He will lead us to our freedom. Because of what we stand for, there are there are threats to eliminate our leaders and to point fingers to Azri’EL.  “ (end of media statement).

Fighting to keep the individual Boer families safe:

The group, some of its members refer to themselves as Soldiers for Christ, is also engaged in helping individuals in their own suburbs with hands-on security problems: for instance they recently traced a missing youngster and returned him to his family.

Young SA children are often harassed and terrorised at school, forced to cooperate with the Nigerian drug-gangs and sex-slavery trade --  and the highly-visible white minority is particularly vulnerable to the violent kidnapping-tactics of these criminal gangs.
