Attacked, tortured Afrikaner smallholder Chris Bronkhorst, 67, dies from maltreatment and gross neglect in government-hospice:  ‘surrounded by uncaring staff’…

April 24 2011 – WALKERVILLE. Family-friends write: "We have been informed this morning that Chris Bronkhorst has died early this morning after a long suffering. Rest in Peace Chris. You will be remembered." Indeed the suffering of this disabled, 67-year-old, empoverished pensioner has been great.

His ordeal started on September 29, 2010, when four young black males attacked Bronkhorst at his Walkerville smallholding --  although he was partially disabled from a stroke and completely unable to defend himself. He was brutally tortured with melting plastic, was whipped with a sjambok and endured other tortures so horrific that the news media is still unable to publish it. The attack was only confirmed to the news media four days later, on November 2 2010, by the SAPS and only after the family had told the news media about it and the police were pressured into releasing the information.

Left is what he looked like shortly after his ordeal. However this did not end his torture. Shocking images have since emerged of Chris Bronkhorst's maltreatment in a public hospice. He continued to suffer due to the maltreatment and neglect at the hospice where he was moved after his wounds were healed at the Milpark Hospital a month earlier.

When he arrived at the hospice, all his wounds had healed: Family friend Magda Cracknell wrote that while Chris was mentally traumatised and “uncommunicative' after his transfer from hospital, his wounds had completely healed: “There were no pressure sores on his body when he was moved to the hospice.. yet within weeks, a leg had to be amputated because of untreated pressure sores. He was surrounded by uncaring staff. This suffering man and his poor family, the ordeal just doesn’t stop for them.’  The great many pictures taken by family to record the neglect at the hospice showed the extent of Chris Bronkhorst’s continuing suffering: his buttocks were blackened from untreated pressure-sores, his limbs and back showed festering, puss-filled, gaping wounds. He suffered constant pain and was kept sedated and thus uncommunicative with morphine injections.

‘He had lost his zest for life after the torture’

Family friend Magda Cracknell wrote shortly after the attack on her Face book page: “It is with great sadness that I want to ask you all to pray for the badly injured crime victim Chris Bronkhorst. The traumatic attack has caused a severe shock to his body and he has lost his zest for life. On November 20 2010 he was taken back to the intensive care unit with a stroke and complications.

Family members and friends said he was 'surrounded by uncaring hospice staff."
From the pictures it was clear that he was neglected: for instance pressure sores on his back were caused by the patient not being moved for long periods of time and was left to lie around in his own bodily wastes. He was in constant pain and kept sedated with morphine.The badly traumatised, disabled tortured man’s suffering thus continued unabated after his attack right up to his death.The police-report of the scene where Bronkhorst was tortured noted that  "There were blood spatters against the kitchen wall where they had bashed him against it. He was also lashed with a sjambok’.

His wife also found shortly after the attack, and while she was waiting for the ambulance and police to arrive, that the black attackers also had dripped melting plastic on his hands – “it is summised because they were angered about not finding any firearms in the gun-safe".

He was dragged around the homestead and tortured – the walls were blood-spattered:
The forensic signs in the homestead also showed that Mr Bronkhorst was roughly dragged from the kitchen to the living room and tortured there – so gruesomely that not all the details have been published. She didn't understand why they needed to torture him after they did not find anything of value. "He was disabled, they could just have taken anything they wanted: he was unable to defend himself and was at home, alone. The torturers only took some cheap bling, a cellphone, a watch and cash – total value: about R10,000… SAPS spokesman capt Shado Mashobane has merely confirmed the ‘incident’ and said "nobody was arrested". And due to the maltreatment at the hospice, if somebody is arrested they would probably only be charged with culpible homicide - since it could not be proven that the Afrikaner had died because of the wounds the suspects had inflicted on him..                                               Mrs Bronkhorst's sister Caroniena Cameron asked Beeld: ‘what kind of people melt burning plastic on someone’s hands. Those are not human beings doing such things…’ original attack as described by Beeld:: http://www.beeld.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Rowers-martel-en-slaan-verlamde-67-20101102
