Dutch media slams ANC-regime

Criticism of the ANC-regime is growing rapidly in The Netherlands: which for years had been its staunchest supporter. Criticism rained down on the ANC this week from various media-sources: from highest-circulation De Telegraaf; from the influential agricultural magazine Boerderij, and even from state- broadcaster NOS .
Each ran critical stories. highlighting the failing policies of the ANC-regime: slamming its proposed ‘forced land-sale’ law; the ANC’s proposed Pretoria street-name changes for Dutch queens Wilhelmina and Beatrix; the Zuma-regime’s active encouragement of the murderous attacks against Afrikaner farmers with its struggle-song Shoot the Boer -- and the regime’s very clear failure to protect its commercial farming-community. These interesting facts were noted by avid Dutch blogger Bart Bouwman.
Listen to the Dutch radio broadcast criticising the ANC’s ‘land-reform’ policies by Koert Lindijer- although he has his facts wrong, claiming ‘the majority of farms are still in white hands’… (The official land-registries show in fact that 64,976 of the original 85,000 ‘Boer’ farms were already in State-hands by May 2011 - article: )-
On Saturday March 24, the country’s largest news daily De Telegraaf also ran a full-page article about the gruesome murder of Dutch missionary Riet Vuyk in Ubombo, KZN by journalist Joël Roerig – who visited the Ubombo region and interviewed the locals about her horrific murder and the circumstances leading up to it. The newspaper blamed the dedicated Dutch protestant woman’s murder on previous tensions with a local black man – Leonard Gina, now charged with her murder -- over the care of five black orphans. De Telegraaf did not mince its words: quoting one of Riet’s friends who blames her murder directly on the ANC-regime’s ‘apparent policy change which now allow only black-African orphans to be cared for only by black-African families – a policy which probably led to friction and her murder this month,” Roerig noted below:A new wind started blowing at the Ministry over the past year - it’s now apparently the policy that black children may only be fostered by black families. The SA authorities’ refusal to support Mrs Vuyk’s orphanage probably created horrific tension between her and her accused murderer Leonard Gina…’ De Telegraaf daily writes:
Writes De Telegraaf journalist Joël Roerig, who travelled to Ubombo to report on Mrs Vuyk’s gruesome murder: “ “It appears to be policy now that black children must be cared for only by black families. Jacob Zuma held a controversial speech recently in which he blamed the Christians for the emergence of orphans and old-age homes'. Mrs Vuyk, who had five black children in her care in the Jan Vuyk orphanage, told her friend Mtshali that the public prosecutor had refused to charge a neighbour called Mr Gina - who now is the main accused in her murder – after he had assaulted the frail Dutch woman in a row over the care of the orphans: one of which he fostered and received foster-care benefits for . “It’s because I am white,’ Mrs Vuyk told her friend after the authorities refused to prosecute the man who now is in a trial-awaiting prison cell, charged with her murder with two other Zulu males. The SA authorities still insist vehemently that this was just another ordinary ‘robbery which had gone wrong’. Enormous opposition from local social workers to Jan Vuyk House orphanage – and their criteria changed constantly:
Concluded De Telegraaf: “These strange flipflops of the authories clearly created enormous tensions between Mrs Vuyk and her neighbour Mr Gina”. Mrs Vuyk’s English-speaking white friend Mrs Rozanne Hay, who now lives in the UK but often visited the local prison with Mrs Vuyk when she lived in SA, was quoted as saying: “Riet was getting enormous opposition from the social workers – and their criteria were changing constantly. Especially during the past year. It now appears to be policy that black children may only be cared for by black families.’ (The Telegraaf article is reproduced in the documents section below)
Dutch criticism of ANC-regime’s agricultural policies also grows: The Dutch agricultural magazine 'Boerderij' (Farm) also attacked the ANC-regime about their criminal lack of protection for besieged Afrikaner farmers, writes Dutch blogger Bart Bouwman. http://www.boerderij.nl/Home/Nieuws/2012/2/Europese-Conferentie-over-Afrikaanse-moorden-op-boeren-AGD580382W/Bouwman dedicated his blog to 'that all too sweet ANC-regime' -- link -- writing: “On Wednesday the Dutcn national broadcaster NOS Radio 1 aired a critical programme about the 'agricultural reform' in South Africa. The two interviewed farmers from Lindley in the Free State- one white, one black - both slam the ANC 's proposed policy of forcing white farmers to sell their land, as happened in Zimbabwe. "It must be done differently - on a voluntary basis - both farmers said. Moreover, the NOS agrees with this statement. The Dutch journalist interviewed two farmers: the first one, a white farmer named Diettrich, spoke in English, the black farmer spoke in Afrikaans.The Afrikaans text was not translated but the English was: so farmer Diettrich when you read this: please NEVER speak English to Dutch journalists again to 'make their jobs easier'.Rather speak Afrikaans. However, according to the NOS, it's the ANC which gets the blame,” Bouwman noted.
Top Dutch agricultural magazine sides with Transvaal Agricultural Union – slams ANC-refusal to protect white farmers and its proposed law to force farmers to sell their land:He also referred to a very critical article about the growing struggle of the commercial farming community in South Africa to stay afloat under the ever-changing ANC-policies – the latest being the proposal to ‘encourage land reform by forced-sales of farms’. The largest and most authoritative agricultural magazine in the Netherlands, Boerderij - also directly blames the ANC-leadership for its grotesque lack of security for white farmers.
“Boerderij’ directly blames the ANC-regime's demolishment of the very effective Commando System (under Thabo Mbeki) for the violent attacks, rapes and murders which Afrikaner farm-families have to endure on a daily basis: and which can be seen in the daily harrowing incidents described on the independent criminology-site http://www.farmitracker.com
Writes Bouwman: “Boerderij is critical, saying that the ANC does too little to protect the farmers – indeed they point out that the ANC indeed supports the attackers of white farmers with their 'struggle song 'Kill the Boer,' and 'Shoot the Boer.' The magazine published a large photo of a tractor with the Afrikaans text: "Sonder die boer kan jou ma jou nie voer." (Without the farmer, your mom can't feed you'. Bouwman: “That was very appropriate for this magazine which four years ago also pushed a campaign with the motto: 'Wie een boer laat stikken, heeft straks niks te bikken.'(If you let your farmers get beaten there will be nothing for eatin’’.
In fact Bouwman points out that “Boerderij’ – probably the largest official mouthpiece for agriculture in The Netherlands – had also openly started supporting the Transvaal Agricultural Union of South Africa. “I think it's a historic step. This means that the 'official mouth piece… for Dutch agriculture now supports the Afrikaner farmers."
These critical articles are very meaningful: De Telegraaf has more than 2m readers a day; the NOS, the state-broadcaster, won a prize in 2011 for the ‘most trustworthy news’, and the weekly Boerderij is the largest agricultural magazine in The Netherlands.”

Dept of Social Development in KZN – refused permission for Jan Vuyk house (which is NON-PROFIT): saying: “Everybody needs a permit to run a business: the Dept. needed to intervene…’
Below: Dept of Social Development in KZN letter refusing permission for Ubombo orphanage: govt official ms Ncumisa Fandesi of the social development department said in a telephone interview with Adriana Stuijt that Riet Vuyk 'was denied permission' to run the mission and that the four children in her care were taken away from her 'temporarily' and that she was ordered to close the mission. She said "She arrived here and just opened the child centre without getting in touch with us and the regional manager was still working with Mrs Vuyk to get the proper permits. Permits are needed for any business and they have to meet certain requirements. The local community learned to trust her and they decided to entrust four children to her care but as a government we needed to take of the proper proceedures."
She denied that Mrs Vuyk had been denied a permit "because she had not been a black South African citizen of the same cultural background as the children (despite the written evidence to the contrary (document below).
Fandesi said: "She (Vuyk) needed to be registered with a proper permit and meet certain requirements, that was the reason she was asked to close the mission,' she said. She was sent a copy of this letter below, asking for comment on its contents, and she became rather hysterical and said: this “was written by a person who was uninformed.” (the letter was signed by N. Dube, her direct supervisor).
Fandesi added again: “ Mrs Vuljik (sp) was denied permission after she arrived without getting in touch with us and just started up the orphanage. Everybody needs a permit to run a business. The Department needed to intervene.” The letter below states that ‘under our guidelines we have the requirement that the mission must be operated by a South African citizen of similar cultural background to the children in your care. We will instruct our officials that the mission’s operation must cease. We will make arrangements for the care of the children’.
