Euro-MP slams ANC over disastrous governance

“Lucas Hartong: The ANC should rather hunt down and prosecute black-racist radicals who murder the Boers in their own homesteads instead of concerning itself over unproven global warming theories at a UN climate-change conference.’ video:European MP Lucas Hartong has launched a full-frontal assault on the ANC-regime during the EP
-debate about the forthcoming Climate Change Conference in Durban from 28 Nov - 9 Dec 2011. Hartong warned the ANC to rather deal with the “disastrous socio-political climate in their own country” than to hold conferences about 'unproven theories of perceived global warming’. He said: “everything needs to improve drastically in the current horrific socio-political climate of South Africa: including hunting down and bringing to justice those black-racist radicals who murder the Boers on their own farms”. He also slammed the ANC for its suppression of the Afrikaans language. Hartong used his speaking-time in the EP-debate in Strassbourg about the forthcoming Climate-Change Conference in Durban, South Africa to warn the ANC to concern itself more about the ‘disastrous socio-policital climate” in their own country than to concern themselves over questionable theories of perceived ‘global warming’.
Hartong blasted the ANC over its poor governance of South Africa and said:
“The socio-political climate in South Africa can only be described as horrific under the ANC-regime. Everything needs to be improved there; a battle is needed against the enormous unemployment and growing hopelessness amongst youths; against the terrifying criminality which is out of control; and the ANC should rather concentrate on hunting down and prosecuting the black-racist radicals who are murdering the Boer farmers on their own land in the so-called ‘ farm-murders’ .
“(Under the ANC) it’s a battle for the Afrikaner’s language, Afrikaans, to survive. There’s a battle against the ANC regime’s racial-discrimination and its suppression of its own people: once again in South Africa, there is official racist discrimination based on skin-colour.
“The PVV (Party for Freedom) is very much in favour of ‘a change in climate’ in South Africa. But alas, that’s not what is going to be discussed in Durban at this ‘Climate-Change Conference’. The subject of discussion will be about an untenable theory of climate-change which is only supported by a few radical believers. I increasingly get the impression that the interest in this specific subject is dropping enormously. I received several entreaties in which I was begged to please go to that conference. It appears that even the IPCC itself now also is beginning to realise that global warming can barely be proven. I cite from its own summary for the Durban conference: ‘The uncertainty about possible changes in climate-extremes over the next few decades is quite high, because the signals indicating climate-change will appear to be quite small, compared to the natural flunctations in climate-changes.’ If the IPCC itself already has its doubts, and says so publicly, about the use of the Durban conference, why are MPs going there for heaven’s sake? Why are we wasting any taxpayers’ money from our own citizens on this? The PVV ‘for this reason, will not be going to Durban.’ lucas.hartong@europarl.europa.eu http://www.amsterdampost.nl/klimaatverandering-in-zuid-afrika/

Dutch:
Nov 15 2011 - Lucas Hartong. Europees parlementslid voor de PVV, heeft zijn spreektijd in het debat over de klimaatconferentie aangegrepen voor een frontale aanval op het ANC-regime en te pleiten voor behoud van het Afrikaans.
Hartong sprak vanmiddag in het Europees Parlement, dat deze week vergadert in Straatsburg.
Voorzitter - “Binnenkort gaat er in Durban, Zuid-Afrika, tijdens de VN Conferentie inzake Klimaatverandering gesproken worden over het klimaat. Geweldig!
Mogelijk dat er nu eindelijk iets gaat gebeuren aan de verbetering van het politieke en maatschappelijke klimaat in Zuid-Afrika, dat namelijk verschrikkelijk genoemd kan worden onder het huidige ANC-apartheidsregime.
Alles moet daar verbeterd: strijd tegen de enorme werkloosheid en uitzichtloosheid onder jongeren, strijd tegen de vreselijke criminaliteit die de spuigaten uitloopt, opsporen en berechten van zwarte radicalen die de Boeren vermoorden op hun eigen land ("de Plaasmoorde"). Strijd voor behoud van de Afrikaner taal. Strijd tegen de achterstelling van de eigen bevolking door het ANC, omdat opnieuw gediscrimineerd wordt op grond van huidskleur. De PVV is dus warm voorstander van 'klimaatverandering' in Zuid-Afrika.
Maar dat is vast niet wat besproken wordt op deze conferentie. Helaas.
Het gaat weer over de vermeende klimaatverandering; een theorie die alleen nog door een enkele zwaar gelovige wordt aangehangen. Ik heb de stellige indruk dat de interesse voor dit onderwerp enorm afneemt. Zelf werd ik namelijk heel wat keren gesméékt of ik alstublieft mee wilde naar de conferentie. Bovendien blijkt het IPCC nu ook eindelijk zelf te beseffen dat globale opwarming nauwelijks aan te tonen is. Ik citeer uit het ontwerp rapport voor Durban: "De onzekerheid over mogelijke veranderingen in klimaatextremen voor de komende tientallen jaren is behoorlijk groot, omdat signalen van klimaatverandering behoorlijk klein zullen blijken te zijn, vergeleken met natuurlijke klimaatschommelingen." Als het IPCC zélf al hardop twijfelt aan het nut van Durban, waarom gaan parlementsleden er dan in vredesnaam naartoe? Waarom spenderen we hier eigenlijk nog belastinggeld van onze burgers aan? De PVV gaat daarom dus niet naar Durban.

Three Euro-MPs demand ANC end Genocide of Afrikaners
European MP Philip Claeys (VB) takes initiative to lodge a formal complaint in Europe’s parliament demanding that the ANC be taken to task about the genocidal murders of Boer Farmers Two other parties, the Austrian FPO and the Italian Fiorello Provera also support the initiative.
Flemish MP also confronted Jacob Zuma in European Parliament, demanding to know why the ANC was unable to protect their farmers better: Zuma’s reply was rather inadequate. VIDEO

16.11.2011 Sinds 1994 werden meer dan 3.000 blanke boeren vermoord in Zuid-Afrika, vaak in gruwelijke omstandigheden. Ook de vele aanvallen op boerderijen zonder dodelijk gevolg zorgen voor een klimaat van angst.
De situatie is zo zorgwekkend dat de in Washington gevestigde NGO Genocide Watch in september 2011 de status van Zuid-Afrika verhoogde van fase 5 (polarisatie) naar fase 6 (voorbereiding). Een hoofdrol in het creëren van die sfeer van angst en geweld is het ANC. Julius Malema, de leider van de ANC-jeugdorganisatie en volgens het zakenblad Forbes één van de invloedrijkste jongeren in Afrika, laat regelmatig het lied "Dubhula iBhunu" ("Kill the Boer") op bijeenkomsten zingen. Europees parlementslid Philip Claeys (Vlaams Belang) neemt nu een internationaal initiatief om deze moordpartijen onder de aandacht te brengen. Hij dient daartoe een schriftelijke verklaring in samen met de Europese parlementsleden Andreas Mölzer van de Oostenrijkse FPÖ en Fiorello Provera van de Italiaanse Lega Nord. De parlementsleden benadrukken hun bekommernis over het geweld in Zuid-Afrika, ongeacht de etnische afkomst van de slachtoffers; wijzen echter op het systematische karakter van de aanvallen tegen blanke boeren; en verzoeken de Hoog Vertegenwoordiger voor het Buitenlands Beleid de bezorgdheid van het Europees Parlement over te maken aan de regering van Zuid-Afrika, en aan te dringen op maatregelen die de veiligheid bevorderen. Alle Europese parlementsleden krijgen nu drie maanden de kans om deze blijk van bezorgdheid over de moordpartijen tegen de Afrikaners te onderschrijven.” Rob Verreycken Flemish MP also confronted Jacob Zuma in European Parliament, demanding to know why the ANC was unable to protect their farmers better: Zuma’s reply was rather inadequate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Xb7zETQ6YZw http://www.vlaamsbelang.be/1/1581 http://www.vlaamsbelang.be/1/1581#.TsO_h1P5CLY.facebook #Euro_Parl: Three MPs demand ANC must end #AfrikanerGenocide: bit.ly/rYkXl6 4th MP blasts ANC horrific rule : bit.ly/sAeqaq

Scorched-earth campaign against Boer farms, smallholdings
Commercial farmers fear that the old, familiar terrorist-style scorched-earth campaign against Boer-farmers which raged before 1994, has returned. Widespread evidence is being found that the majority of these mysterious fires which have erupted ever since August, were deliberately arson. The death toll has meanwhile risen to five killed, while at least three, possibly more, people are still in critical condition in intensive-care units. Many tens-of-thousands of livestock were torched or had to be put down due to their massive injuries.
107,000 hectares of farm land destroyed in Colesberg, NC:
On Nov 17 2011, it was reported that the latest region to be targetted was Colesberg in the Northern Cape. In last week's firestorm, another 107,000 ha (20%) of the Colesberg district's land was torched, said Agri-North Cape farmers' cooperative.
Chairman Clem Olivier of the Colesberg farmers' association said an average-sized farm in this semi-desert region is 3,000 ha to 5,000 ha.
A total 33 farms were burnt down during last week's devastating veld fires.
"Driving on the road here one sees blackened fields for kilometres. The fires started breaking out on Tuesday 8 November 2011 at 11am. By 4pm they had spread 60 kilometres
further.' He also was left 'dumb-founded' about the massive help from fellow-farmers, he said:
"It started shortly after they broke out: 40 bakkies (little farm-trucks) with water-tanks arrived and an hour later another 40 showed up from the region.'
One does not always realise the fondness farmers have for each other. The help has been phenomenal.
Fodder also started arriving in short order, much of it from as far away as Bredasdorp, Dodrecht, Cradock, Heidelberg, Riviersonderend, Hopetown, the Van der Kloofdam-region, Schoombie en the southern Free State.
"The local guys also help each other a lot." F
armers worry not only about the lost grazing and livestock: they are also concerned that it could take two to three years - even up to 20 years -- for the veld to recover.
'Depending on the weather the 'bossiesveld' can even take five to seven years to recover. Some farmers' "Bossies veld" did not recover for 20 years after a big fire.
Many farmers hope for rain so that the grass starts making seeds again - and kickstart the natural process." statement:

On November 9 2011 SAPA and Volksblad recorded another farm worker succumbed to his wounds at Colesberg hospital and two more required treatment after battling veld fires at Colesberg, SAPS capt Tony Modise said. Two other workers were treated for smoke inhalation and burn wounds in the hospital at Colesberg. Volksblad writes that thousands farm-animals were lost in the Northern Cape fires. It started on a farm near Norvalspont around 11am on Tuesday, and moved to surrounding farms.

286,600 HECTARES OF GRAZING LAND DESTROYED IN NORTH WEST:
Since August at least 286,600 hectares of grazing land were destroyed in North West province alone. Agri-NW farmers' representatives lobby has applied for regions of the province to be declared emergency areas so that the farmers can be compensated for thousands of heads of torched livestock and destroyed crops.
Killed and injured:
Besides the unidentified farm worker killed in the Norvalspont, North Cape fire on Nov 9 2011, Afrikaner farmer Jan Vosloo 45, farm worker Geelbooi Khi also died at Marikana in September - and as also became known on September 2: at Koster NW farmer Pieter Lewis, 67 of Enkelbos passed away from burns and smoke inhalation at Milpark Hospital i/c unit Johannesburg; also critically injured were Mrs Christian Claassens, 67, daughter Carina: who were taken to the burn-unit at Pelonomi Hospital, Bloemfontein:
also killed were farm workers Shadrock Moeto and Nsakisan at the Koster NW farm fires.

Two farmers also were arrested by police when trying to make a citizens-arrest of a black man who was seen running away with fuel-can after setting fire... Their case has since been dropped but the suspect has disappeared.
SAPS captain Adele Myburg said farmer Jan Vosloo, 45, died on Tuesday. Vosloo and four of his employees were fetching cattle from a farm on fire. 19-year-old Geelbooi Khi, who went with them also burnt to death. His body was found after the fires were brought under control. Mr Vosloo died from the horrific injuries he sustained at Groot Marico, North West police said on Thursday. Three other people were injured: amongst them an unnamed 26-year-old woman who sustained burns to her face, left hand and both legs. She reportedly is still recovering at the Zeerust hospital. Two other men were taken to hospital and discharged on the same day.
Areas affected included Potchefstroom North, Muiskraal, Rysmierbult, Welverdiend, Mooibank, Kromdraai, Parys, Lindequesdrift, Fochville, Enselspruit, Klipdrift and Vredefort Dome. At least 286,600 hectares of grazing land were destroyed in North West. The veld-fires burnt uncontrollably for most of the week - more than 380 fires were identified within a 24-hour period: there was strong proof that the majority were deliberately set, many farmers said.

Near Koster alone, tens of thousands of hectares fields with maize and wheat and thousands of heads of livestock were torched. Yet white farmers who made citizen-arrests of black arsonists who were caught in the act, were arrested and charged with 'assault'.
Picture: tens of thousands of heads of livestock died, many others suffered serious burn-wounds and blindness from fires - ' All hell broke lose, ' says Boer farmer:
"I've put out many veld-fires in my lifetime, but I have never seen so many fierce and simultaneous ones as these which now are destroying our crops and livestock... link
Summary:
Farmer Jan Vosloo 45 and farm worker Geelbooi Nkhi, 19 are dead, Mrs Christian Claassens, 67, and daughter Carina critically injured: treated at burn-unit of Pelonomi Hospital Bloemfontein with severe burn wounds after they were trapped during a firestorm just outside Vredefort in the Free State. Two farmers arrested by police when trying to make a citizens-arrest of a black man who was seen running away after setting fire...
Her son Nico Claassens of Pietersburg said he believes his mom and sister tried to turn back when confronted by thick smoke. On Aug 25 2011 -- Volksblad journalist Tom de Wet writes from Welkom that the two Afrikaans women were enroute to the Vaal Triangle region when they were trapped on the road. The car's tyres started melting and the women tried to run away from the fire. Farm worker Geelbooi Nkhi of the farm Welgerust was admitted to the same burn unit with the women: he died last night. He was caught by the flames when he was trying to put out the fire together with a team of farmers and firefighters outside Vredefort. Prof Sampie Smit of the hospital said the women sustained up to 50% burn wounds and smoke damage to their lungs and vocal chords. The devastating veld fires have destroyed thousands of livestock and hundreds-of-thousands of hectares of grazing land in more than ten agricultural districts in the Free State alone.
Dozens of small towns' agricultural areas were hit: the farmers said 'the devil broke lose'. At Steynsrust 11,000ha of grazxing land, six warehouses, an empty farm house, 300 bales of feed, 24 cattle and about 1,000 hectares of land belonging to 'developing farmers' were torched, noted Maryke Swart. Vredefort was particularly hard-hit: 200,000 ha of grazing land were burned. At Venter of the fire-control unit at Bultfontein said this week alone, seven large, seperate fires raged in the district alone. Teams from agricultural towns such as Bultfontein, Soutpan, Brandfort and Theunissen in more than 40 private farm vehicles fought fiercely to contain the more than 40 fires in a region of 12 km x 2 km.

August 2011: Many hundreds of fires swept across parts of Gauteng, North West and the Northern Free State in the past few days -- causing death and destruction. The damage sustained by farmers is immense and can be classified as a national disaster, yet the SAWDIS received no information, photos or observations from farmers, the public or SAWDIS Observers, the SA Weather Observer website complained.
http://www.news24.com/5-hurt-as-veld-fires-cause-havoc-on-roads-20110823SAWDIS has asked farmers and members of the public to inform the SAWDIS of veld fires and the damage caused. Send us your images, information, damage reports and relevant data for publication on the SAWDIS Blog. We need to show and educate people about the effects that devastating veld fires can have on individuals and communities. SAWDIS Email:
