“KZN Shootout I Police officer among KZN robbery suspects: Colonel Netshiunda”

https://youtu.be/SKZw6Q4Ovzw

Aug 19, 2024 #SABCNews

KwaZulu-Natal police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has expressed concern over the use of police uniforms to commit crimes. This follows a shootout in Lindelani, Durban, yesterday, where suspects dressed in police uniforms were involved in a confrontation with the police. The incident resulted in three fatalities, including an on-duty police sergeant from Kwa-Mashu Police Station. Three suspects are still on the run. The suspects were linked to an earlier robbery in Richmond Farm. For more on this, we're joined by KwaZulu-Natal SAPS Spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda.

2:00 – “We have had incidents where people were robbed by people masquerading as police officers but in this case, there were real police officers with real police uniform because one of those who were wounded was a sergeant working at Kwa-Mashu Police Station who was on nightshift duty on Saturday night then instead of going home to rest, he joined his gang for an armed robbery. It is concerning that we’ve got police officers who are working with criminals. So that defeats the purpose that maybe some of the operations we plan are known by criminals before we can execute them. Simply because they’ve got their friends in the force.”

6:38 – “It emerged of course that amongst those fatally wounded in a shootout in the province was in fact an on duty officer. Raising all manner of questions around the extent to which officers themselves may very well be involved in the proliferation of crime in places like KZN.”

“South Africa’s state capture database disaster”

https://mybroadband.co.za/news/software/555961-south-africas-state-capture-database-disaster.html

18.08.2024

Anonymous sources have rubbished claims that investigators can’t access Zondo Commission evidence due to a technical problem with a database, alleging they are being actively blocked from seeing the information.

This is according to Rapport, which cited sources with insider knowledge of the work conducted by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and its specialist anti-corruption Investigating Directorate.

It follows a News24 report last week that evidence stored in the database had become inaccessible due to a “lack of maintenance”.

For two years, the NPA and its Investigating Directorate (ID) have been begging the Ministry of Justice for full access to the database.

However, the NPA said an expert who worked for the Zondo Commission told them the data was no longer accessible due to lack of maintenance.

According to Rapport’s report, the NPA and ID struggled to get their requests for evidence attended to even while the database was accessible.

Some requests were never handled, while others took weeks or months to get a result. Information that was eventually handed over was often filtered, one source told the paper.

Losing access to the data entirely raises questions about future prosecutions of individuals and institutions who were implicated in state capture.

The NPA said the justice ministry is now procuring another provider’s services to restart access. The ID has also sought the services of experts to help the NPA regain access to the evidence.

By December 2020, the commission said it had collected an exabyte (one billion gigabytes) of data.

It had issued 2,736 summons and interviewed 278 witnesses, generating 51,669 pages of recorded transcripts, and collected 159,109 pages of affidavits and other evidence exhibits

According to the commission’s website, the inquiry cost the taxpayer almost R1 billion — far more than any prior South African judicial inquiry.

This is not the first time this year that technical problems have been blamed for the loss of crucial evidence.

In February, the ANC said a broken laptop was to blame for failing to hand over records and documents relating to its cadre deployment committee meetings between 2012 and 2018.

ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula said the laptop of an official in the deputy secretary’s office had crashed in June and that he had deleted emails that likely contained data over the year

“[BREAKING NEWS] White River Raid | State withdraws criminal case against 95 Libyan nationals”

https://youtu.be/JBnlbRc356A

Aug 15, 2024

0:46 – “[These 95 men were] quite upbeat. They knew that this was going to be happening this morning here in court.”

https://www.sabcnews.com/sabcnews/actionsa-disappointed-over-withdrawal-of-charges-against-95-libyans/

16 August 2024, 10:22

Action SA has expressed concern on the National Prosecuting Authority’s (NPA) decision to withdraw the charges against 95 Libyan nationals.

They are now set to be deported to Libya.

Party leader Herman Mashaba says the NPA has failed South Africans.

“Our court system should have really established the identities of each and every one of them to understand why they’ve decided to come and do military training in South Africa, what were they aiming to do.

“So for us as South Africans now all of a sudden no one is telling us why these people contravened our immigration laws, why were these people doing military training on the grounds of SA. And our government just decided to send them back to Libya. And I think we’ve got to be really careful and question this as SA,” he adds.

https://www.sowetanlive.co.za/news/south-africa/2024-08-16-many-questions-remain-unanswered-after-charges-against-libyans-are-withdrawn/

16 August 2024 - 06:00

However, here are some of the questions the NPA has not answered about this:

• What representations did the lawyer make that formed the basis of the NPA's decision to withdraw the charges?

• If the NPA says there was no prospect of successful prosecution in the matter of the Libyans and there was not enough evidence, on what basis handing over the suspects to Home Affairs?

• What does this withdrawal mean for the investigation against other people who were part of the alleged illegal activities discovered at the camp?

• Why did the NPA decide to withdraw the case rather than allow the court process to conclude even if it led to deportation?

• On what basis are the police investigating other individuals involved in the camp if the NPA insists there was no crime committed?

• What made the NPA come to the conclusion that there was no prospect of success when it had right at the beginning believed that there was a misrepresentation by the Libyans?

Before magistrate Eddie Hall granted the request by the state to withdraw the charge, officials from the department of home affairs came inside court with large files in boxes containing the names of the 95 men while the court was in session.

It was a murder that outraged regulars at a popular night spot on Cape Town's Long Street; a senseless killing meant as a message for the owner and a reminder of the violence of those demanding protection money. In 2015, former Beerhouse owner, Randolf Jorberg, paid his last respects to a trusted doorman and finally gave in to the demands of the extortionists. But after living with a deep sense of injustice, he sat down with Govan Whittles to finally give a detailed account of what led to his doorman's death, and how Cape Town's underworld continues to operate.

In June this year, four-year-old Enzokuhle Dladlu was playing outside on the street in Khayelitsha when four gunmen entered a barbershop in her neighbourhood and opened fire. One man and three children were killed in the shooting: Enzokuhle was one of them. In Khayelitsha, these mass shootings have become tragically common as rival gangs force businesses and civilians alike to pay protection fees or risk being killed. In a new report, the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime has identified four growing extortion economies in the province, including transport, construction and township economies. Carte Blanche examines how protection rackets in Khayelitsha are expanding their illicit business portfolio, targeting street vendors, spaza shops, and even churches.

“THE SHADOW ECONOMY: UNCOVERING CAPE TOWN’S EXTORTION NETWORKS”

https://globalinitiative.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Jenni-Irish-Qhobosheane-The-shadow-economy-Uncovering-Cape-Towns-extortion-networks-GI-TOC-April-2024.pdf

APRIL 2024

Extortion is a rapidly worsening problem throughout South Africa. This is the first in a series of reports tracking its spread across the country. The Western Cape, an economic hub with a long history of gang violence and extortion, is particularly hard hit. The City of Cape Town is host to a menacing shadow economy, with money, services and goods being extorted from an increasingly wide range of businesses, including spaza shops, nightclubs, construction and transport companies, as well as individuals.

The issue has been widely reported in the media and it is clear that many people are justifiably concerned. However, the reality of the situation is far more serious than is perhaps realized. Extortion is growing rapidly and spreading throughout the city, and the groups involved are highly organized. The range of sectors and people affected is widening: from street vendors selling their wares in Mitchells Plain or Khayelitsha, to the owners of bars and restaurants in the city centre; from construction companies building roads or houses, to municipal workers and contractors providing basic services. In certain parts of the city, even private vehicles have become targets.

The GI-TOC has identified four main extortion economies for the focus of this report:

■ The central business district (CBD) night-time extortion economy. While initially focused on the city’s night-time economy, extortion activities have expanded to include other businesses, such as restaurants and coffee shops.

■ Cape Town’s construction mafia. These groups target infrastructure projects and the construction sector. Methods have been copied and adapted from KwaZulu-Natal, and similar extortion practices have spread to other parts of the country.

■ The transport extortion economy. This has long existed within the minibus taxi industry in Cape Town, but has expanded in an unprecedented way to include buses, private transport and even private vehicles.

■ The township enterprise extortion economy. This focuses on formal and informal businesses and individuals operating particularly in the Cape Flats, including the townships of Khayelitsha, Gugulethu and Nyanga.1 It also targets municipal workers and contractors.

“ANC wants soldiers deployed to EC to deal with extortion”

https://youtu.be/ZVyd_2TcLH8

Aug 19, 2024

Eastern Cape ANC is calling on the government to deploy soldiers in crime hotspots in the province following a surge in extortion cases in places like Mthatha and Gqeberha. Provincial spokesperson Loyiso Magqashela says there's a R1 billion road being constructed by Sanral in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality that has been blocked by individuals extorting money from the service provider.

https://businesstech.co.za/news/government/787245/criminal-mafias-standing-in-the-way-of-south-africas-big-turnaround/

19 Aug 2024

The escalation of the prevalence and severity of criminal extortion groups targeting construction sites across South Africa continues to impede the country’s economic potential.

“Extortion in the construction sector has reached worryingly high levels, derailing and delaying projects worth billions of rands,” said national project manager of Business Against Crime South Africa (BACSA), Roelof Viljoen.

What started off as a few “business forums” in KwaZulu-Natal invading and extorting construction sites in around 2014/15 (as outlined by a report by Jenni Irish-Qhobosheane for the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime) has now morphed into a national crisis of booming “construction mafias.”

According to the State Investigating Unit (SIU), the “construction mafia refers to extortion groups that typically seek to forcefully extract protection fees from local construction companies and contractors or extort a portion of the cost of an infrastructure project, or that specific individuals affiliated with the mafia are recruited to work on the site.”

“At the outset of a project, they invade the construction site, walk into site offices [very often] heavily armed and threaten individuals or their families,” explained construction attorney, Euan Massey.

“No progress can take place until their demands are dealt with [which] can also extend to violence and in the worst cases, has resulted in murders,” he added.

Irish-Qhobosheane explained that most mafias posing as legitimate “business forums” demand 30% of the contract value of the project as “protection” against violence and work stoppages.

“STRATEGIC ORGANIZED CRIME RISK ASSESSMENT: SOUTH AFRICA”

https://globalinitiative.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GI-TOC-Strategic-Organized-Crime-Risk-Assessment-South-Africa.pdf

SEPTEMBER 2022

Since 1994, organized crime has exploited both the shortcomings of the political transition and the opportunities afforded by globalization, leading to a flourishing of crime at all levels of society, which has had severe consequences for the state, and which we evidence through an overview of the 15 main illicit markets currently active in South Africa today. Examining these markets provides several insights into the key traits of organized crime in South Africa and the context of South African organized crime at the local, state and international level. The state’s response to organized crime, which is a key part of this context, is assessed in detail. The section concludes with suggestions as to how to prioritize a response.

South Africa faces a complex, hybrid criminal threat. Having originated in highly constricted conditions under apartheid, in three decades organized crime has spread across the country and forged links around the world. It has been quick to seize opportunities, robust in the face of (often weak) law enforcement pressure and assertive in protecting its spheres of influence. But organized crime in South Africa is not an insurmountable challenge, and a well-led and resourced law enforcement strategy would pay quick dividends.

Our assessment of 15 illicit markets traces how organized crime has flourished in South Africa and highlights its profound social, economic and political harms. Violence – always present in society – has become embedded in the evolving criminal economy; depredation of the natural environment and critical infrastructure has run rampant; and entrenched gangs and extortion networks have sought to establish criminalized forms of governance that operate beyond the remit of the state monopoly. Its victims can be found across the social spectrum, but invariably South Africa’s poorest citizens have suffered the most.

The state’s means of response – its institutions – have been left weakened and corrupted after a decade of state capture that saw elite corruption become endemic and crippled essential service delivery. Efforts to tackle corruption and crime have been more recently hampered by the coronavirus pandemic, which has not only diverted state resources and attention, but also presented an opportunity for criminals to expand illicit enterprises and strengthen their control over territory and people alike.1

The three phenomena identified above – the growth of organized crime, rise of elite corruption and erosion of state institutions – have often overlapped and intersected in South Africa’s past, but now have converged to form a self-sustaining, self-protecting and self-expanding criminal economy. Although many markets remain highly violent and liable to fragmentation, they are underpinned by robust criminal incentives and mechanisms that have consistently fuelled growth and criminal expansion.

There have also been indications that some politicians and even police in the specialized unit are complicit in stock theft.

According to underworld sources involved in the organized violence market, the police are complicit in assassination, receiving payment from gang bosses in exchange for guns and obstructing investigations (by ‘losing’ evidence, for instance).

“'Process of issuing visas for the 95 deported Libyan nationals fraught with irregularities'” 1 of 2

https://youtu.be/q_JiH0Bw1-g

Aug 20, 2024 #SABCNews

This has been revealed by Home Affairs Minister, Dr Leon Schreiber, and his team, which has briefed Parliament's Home Affairs Portfolio Committee on a range of issues.

https://www.citizen.co.za/news/visas-of-95-libyans-handwritten-irregularity-flagged/

20 Aug 2024 03:17 pm

The study visas issued to the 95 Libyans found at the Milites Dei Academy in Mpumalanga were handwritten due to the system at the Department of International Relations and Cooperation’s (Dirco) mission in Tunis being offline.

Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs recently received a report on the investigation into the 95 Libyans who have now been deported.

In total, 100 Libyans were granted visas. However, three were deported on arrival following interviews by immigration officials at OR Tambo International Airport. The other two never made it to South Africa.

The 95 Libyans entered the country on different dates and in groups through OR Tambo International Airport.

The first group of 24 entered the country on 25 April, the second group of 24 entered the country on 26 April, the third group of 24 on 24 May, and the last group of 23 on 29 May 2024.

They were all issued study visas and were meant to stay in the country for six months, until December 31.

95 Libyans: investigation results

• Application forms used were outdated and did not comply with the forms prescribed in the Immigration Regulations

• There was no indication on some application forms that the applicants were applying for study visas, however, the official decided to grant study visas

• Critical information was omitted, such as the place of birth in some cases and the addresses of the applicants for their country of origin

• The applications did not contain any proof of sufficient funds as prescribed

• A preliminary check of a Momentum Membership indicates that the membership certificate is fraudulent (This was done telephonically)

• The Certificate of Criminal Status (Police Clearance) was not verified during the processing of the application

• The agent submitted the applications. None of the applicants appeared in person

According to the report, the official at the Tunis embassy who processed the visa applications did not consult, seek advice and receive confirmation from the Department of Home Affairs before approving the visas.

Dirco said it had launched an investigation. Officials from the department, state security agency and home affairs will be travelling to Tunis to look at the submitted documentation.

The Libyans were deported at the weekend, and their country paid for their travel back home.

https://www.citizen.co.za/news/visas-of-95-libyans-handwritten-irregularity-flagged/

20 Aug 2024 03:17 pm

Libyans in South Africa

According to Border Management Authority commissioner Dr Mike Masiapato, 588 Libyans entered South Africa through the OR Tambo International Airport (ORTIA) and the Cape Town International Airport between 1 January and 14 August 2024.

Of the 588 Libyans who entered South Africa, 463 departed through these airports.

As of 14 August, 125 Libyans are still in the country.

Since the discovery of the military training camp, 114 Libyans entered the country, 97 of them have since left.

The country’s intelligence has expressed concern over the influx of Libyans entering the country. All ports of entry are now on high alert for Libyans.

National security at risk

Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber told the committee that as long as the department’s system was outdated, paper-based and manual, it remained vulnerable to fraud.

Schreiber said the department could not even audit the system, even if it wanted, due to the outdated system.

He said: “How can South Africa regard ourselves as a serious nation when we still allow entrance into our country based on hand-written documents that even a child could forge?

“How can South Africa regard ourselves as a serious nation when we fail to use modern technology like machine learning that can verify the authenticity of a document better than any human being ever could?

“Which person on earth could justify the use of such an antiquated, broken and vulnerable system when we live in the year 2024, with technology at our fingertips that could instantly solve every one of these problems?

“Incidents of identity theft, long queues, visa fraud and corruption will keep happening, over and over and over again, forever, if we fail to digitally transform Home Affairs.”

“Brenthurst Foundation paid for DA leader’s trip into Ukraine” Part 1

https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2022-05-07-brenthurst-foundation-paid-for-da-leaders-trip-into-ukraine/

07 May 2022

DA leader John Steenhuisen has confirmed that his six-day “fact-finding mission” to Ukraine, which ended on Friday, 5 May was funded by the Brenthurst Foundation.

John Steenhuisen will arrive back in South Africa on Saturday following a nearly week-long visit to Ukraine on a fact-finding mission.

In a WhatsApp message after his arrival in Warsaw on Friday afternoon, Steenhuisen said it’s “been a very gruelling trip to be honest”.

Steenhuisen earlier refused to disclose details about the funding of his trip or the names of his travel companions.

Brenthurst Foundation director Greg Mills said the foundation funded Steenhuisen’s trip with its photographer Richard Harper.

He said the foundation’s aim was to provide “a level of education” about international issues.

“The role of the foundation is to expose people to best and worst practices,” he said.

The foundation has funded a number of trips for politicians from across the spectrum, such as the monitoring mission during the Somaliland elections last year. The foundation covered that trip as well which Steenhuisen declared in the register of members’ interest.

Steenhuisen came under fire this week as questions were asked about who backed the trip, but he has only been willing to disclose that it was a “private funder”.

Mills cited security reasons for the secrecy while they were in Ukraine. “When you’re in a place like Ukraine you have to be discreet about your movements,” he said. Ukraine has been under attack by Russia for over two months and a lot of the country’s civilian architecture has been destroyed.

Mills had been to Ukraine twice before in two months, and the idea for Steenhuisen to join him had come up while in conversation.

“The importance of taking John is that there is a parliamentary voice. It’s incredibly admirable. How many politicians would put themselves in harm’s way?”

https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2022-05-07-brenthurst-foundation-paid-for-da-leaders-trip-into-ukraine/

07 May 2022

“This is a war for freedom,” [Steenhuisen] said in a video message on his timeline [https://x.com/Our_DA/status/1521170141312126977]. “Ukraine has now become the new frontier of freedom in the world, in the battle against tyranny and imperialism. It is important that we understand, particularly in Africa, what the impact of this war on our continent and especially in South Africa will be.”

Ukrainian ambassador to South Africa, Liubov Abravitova said she saw Steenhuisen when he applied for a visa, but that her government had nothing to do with the organisation of the trip.

She said, however, that there was a longstanding invitation for National Assembly Speaker, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, from her Ukrainian counterpart to visit.

Steenhuisen failed to inform the South African authorities of his travels – something that is not a legal requirement, but which the Department of International Relations and Cooperation has encouraged citizens to do when they go to conflict zones.

The DA leader said, however, that the department “has actively sabotaged meetings with role-players” before. During his last trip to the Middle East some meetings he had set up in with Palestinian authorities were cancelled due to what he believed to have been South African government interference.

Following the visit he will report back to his party, Parliament, civil society and international foreign policy think-tanks.

The Brenthurst Foundation was established in 2004 by the Oppenheimer family to build on the work of the Brenthurst Initiative, which was a programme that “instigated debate around policy strategies in South Africa to accelerate economic expansion”.

“2024 Marikana Massacre Memorial Lecture” Part 1

https://youtu.be/6oN-tKmn7yc

Streamed live on Aug 7, 2024

“The Marikana Massacre 16/08/2012 exposed South Africa’s Fake Democracy and Fake Revolutionaries” displayed behind the podium. Dr Khanyisile Litchfield-Tshabalala makes an interesting speech.

57:30 – Introducing guest speaker Dr Khanyisile Litchfield-Tshabalala

1:00:50 – Dr Tshabalala starts her speech, it is worth listening to it. Key points:

• “The talk is really aligned to the fake democracy, not just of South Africa but of this continent.”

• She discusses the chronology on what happened leading to 1994, the “Madiba miracle” and “the Rainbow nation, there is not even black in that colour by the way”. This includes;

o 1959 – the international Anti-Apartheid Movement was formed.

o 1960 – British Prime Minister Macmillan addressed the parliament in Cape Town in a speech that was dubbed “The Winds of Change”.

o The same year, 1960, Sharpeville massacre occurred – “Macmillan was in operation”.

o That same year, 1960, the ANC and PAC was banned – “Macmillan was in operation”.

o Jumped to 19 September 1976 – Ian Smith of Rhodesia meets with Henry Kissinger to talk about majority rule in Rhodesia. “Who engineered the so called Mugabe miracle of 1980? America, England and their network of evil.”

o The following year in South Africa 1977, The Urban Foundation dubbed the thinktank was founded by Harry Oppenheimer, Anton Rupert and Clive Menell. This foundation introduced for the first time neoliberal housing. “Before 1977 no African was enslaved what we call a bond. Housing was the responsibility of government. You paid rent which was peanuts really. They introduced it because they were already preparing for the new South Africa.”… “A house of 1 000 000 take 20 years to pay off but it takes a car of 1 000 000 to pay off in 5 years to pay off. Madness.”

o “In 1982, Harry Oppenheimer meets Henry Kissinger to talk about majority rule and transition after Apartheid. I hope you see not even white South Africans are represented here. Its capital talking to a mass murderer who runs capital, Henry Kissinger of the United States.”

o Same year, 1982, Mandela was released from Robben Island to Pollsmoor Prison. “I love history, it does not lie.”

o 1983, Oppenheimer controls the Chamber of Mines. “He is involved in the establishment of the National Union of Mineworkers [NUM] and Cyril Ramaphosa is put in charge after going overseas.”

o Same year, 1983, the UDF (United Democratic Front) was formed. Oppenheimer founded and funded them.

o 1984, Hendrik van der Merwe, director for the Centre of Intergroup Studies at UCT begins his mediation between the Apartheid regime and the ANC. “That’s the year we were doing mass funerals in this country. Where Soweto was burying 100s. Pretoria was burying 80. Cape Town was burying 100s. People were dying.”

o Same year 1984, Hendrik van der Merwe, starts meeting Mandela in Pollsmoor Prison.

o 1985 was the era of the ‘young lions’… “We really believed we were going into a revolution. I thing that’s what sad about it.”

o “September 1985, delegation of white businessmen led by Gavin Relly, Anglo America, and Zach de Beer, Progressive Party funded by Oppenheimer. They meet a list of Oliver Tambo, Thabo Mbeki, Chris Hani, Mac Maharaj and Pallo Jordan in Zambia. Why have they not been telling us, I was part of MK then? Why are they not addressing us in the camps and saying guys we are negotiation? You know what they used to say to us in the camps then, “We shall never negotiatiate. We have learned from the mistakes of everybody else. That’s selling out comrades”… That’s what Joe Modise was telling us at the time.”

o “In 1988, Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev meet, they sign an agreement. I am trying to show you who is in power. That agreement they signed what took our camps out of Angola to Uganda and Tanzania further away from the enemy we were fighting. Who took the decision? Reagan and Gobachev. We are just parcels but what they use as an excuse? “Let Namibia go.””

o “In 1989, the South African Reserve Bank Act is passed. Can I tell you?… South African Reserve Bank shall operate in secrecy.”

o 1990, the Independent Development Trust (IDT) established, taking over the think tank called the Urban Foundation. Anton Rupert and Clive Menell chairs it.

o 1990, the Gencor Executive Chairman, Derek Keys, is appointed as Minister of Trade and Industry. “It was the first time they allow a minister who’s not National Party trained to ascend the reigns.”

o 1991, they pass the VAT {Value Added Tax).

o Same year 20 December 1991, CODESA starts. “13 April 1992, Mandela shocks us. I’m divorcing Winnie [Mandela] because Winnie was not faithful.” She suggests that the ANC is paying Mandela’s children off to keep quiet. “The big issue of this is when Mandela made that announcement, he then… moves in with the Menell family and Clive Menell is one of the founders of the Urban Foundation which was started in 1977 and also aligned with NUM formation.”

o “September 1992, the former Gencor Executive Chairman and former Minister of Trade and Industry is appointed Minister of Finance. It is said here, “The financial takeover is completed.”… Why do you think we haven’t moved an inch in terms of prosperity since ‘94? Do you know teachers argue that at least during Apartheid you had an increase, some of them say twice a year. It’s not happening… They took a [$850 million] loan from the IMF to pay off the Apartheid debt.”

o “1992, the leader of the South African Communist Party, Joe Slovo, comes with what is called the “Sunset Clause” which means the coalition government will be put in place following the democratic election but it included guarantees and those guarantees were to keep the economic state as is.”

o “April ’93, Chris Hani is gunned down in cold blood… It means that Chris Hani was against the “Sunset Clause”. He started opening his big Xhosa mouth.”

o “In April ’94, we ushered into the so-called “Madiba Miracle”.”

o “I put a question to you. Why zoom in on the mines? Why was it formed with Oppenheimer money? Why is being controlled by Oppenheimer? I put a question to you. Has it never crossed your mind the NUM officials, the ANC officials and the Lonmin officials, there was still another hand behind?… I still want to know, who of the worst agreed to this shooting, this cold blooded killing? Because they would not do it if their handlers had not said, “go ahead.”

o “For years COSATU was nothing but a gate keeper… They delayed worker’s struggle… Whoever funds the ANC, funds COSATU.”

o “How is Starbucks making more money out of each cup of coffee than those coffee growers?… How are you paying more for South African gold than the British pay?”

o “How is it that… in all the exile years of the so-called liberation movements of South Africa, the ANC got 99.9% of the lion’s share of support? You know, only China supported the PAC. People were starving in PAC camps in case you were not aware… The whole world supported the ANC.”

o –“You will see they chose for you. You also know that the release campaign was also started by Oppenheimer? I hope you know.”—

o Kwame Nkrumah said, “Do not go the IMF, World Bank route because if you do, you will be enslaves forever.”

o “Only 5% of that money [$30 trillion] is direct government corruption, 30% is criminal activity but 65% are corporate crimes which we don’t call out. Tax evasion, tax avoidance, profit shifting. We started hating Zuma because the Rand started falling but what’s the expose now? The banks colluded from 2006 before he came into power to around 2013 tampering and lowering the Rand.”

o “All that I have read here happens with a very intelligent process called “dumbing down of the mind”. Do you think it is an accident that the pass rate in South Africa is 33%? It’s not… The battle for the mind is the biggest battle.” [Macmillan did mention something similar in his 1960 speech, “Wind of Change”; “The struggle is joined and it is a struggle for the minds of men.” (https://youtu.be/c07MiYfpOMw) Embedded]

o “Neoliberalism… What is it actually?… It is not capitalism. Capitalism was founded by Adam Smith… Neoliberalism came out of the 2nd World War… Before the end of the 2nd World War, 1945, any economist who talked of neoliberalism was classified as an Anarchist. I hope you remember that… Neoliberalism says, [1] government is nothing but a post office between capital and the people… [2] let capital flow… [3] whoever wins the majority, is the one that rules.”

o “Stop making television your outlet for information. That’s in English, it’s called disinformation or misinformation.”

o “The mess in which we live is not accidental. Somebody paid somebody and somebody paid somebody for us to end up in this nonsense that we live in right now called freedom. It happens with every other country… So they have 2 ways to deal with an Africa. If they can change your mind, they will - Mandela’s was changeable. If they can’t change your mind like Steve Biko, they kill you.”

o “The ANC’s given us a youth that more sexual than intelligent. Youth that drinks more than they think. Young people that know more about American than Africa, their own country.”

o “That’s where patriarchy and abuse creeps in exactly. Remember, it happens at country level. Whoever pays for the South African election, owns us. Whichever man pay for you, owns you women.”

o “Can we continue fighting to make sure that every known official… every Lonmin official, every ANC official that was involved in this murder is finally brought to book… Can we bring Marikana back to the table? They want us to forget about it. Marikana is proof that the ANC anti-black. They want it silenced.”

• 1990: “Lastly, that edition of Optima commented on the “valiant efforts” (Barber 1987a, p. 68) of Dr. Chester Crocker, the then American Assistant Secretary of State for Africa. Both De Beers and Anglo American were obviously enormously enamored with Crocker. By 1990 [the year Mandela was released], they had appointed him as a director of Minorco, which was based in Luxembourg and “the main overseas investor for Oppenheimer funds” (Kanfer 1993, p. 362). A high-profile appointment to such an entity suggests a very different imperative to that which Oppenheimer voiced in his interview with Nielsen (1985) regarding investing beyond South Africa.”

From 1981-1989, [Chester Crocker] was U.S. assistant secretary of state for African affairs. As such, he was the principal diplomatic architect and mediator in the prolonged negotiations among Angola, Cuba, and South Africa that led to Namibia’s transition to independence, and to the withdrawal of Cuban forces from Angola.

>We started hating Zuma because the Rand started falling but what’s the expose now? The banks colluded from 2006 before he came into power to around 2013 tampering and lowering the Rand.

Take note; the Rand value dropped prior to Mandela changing his mind about nationalism.

“Keys to unlock the South African economic shackles: The former head of Gencor is trying to bring Pretoria and the ANC together to repair the country's battered economy, John Carlin reports” [1992]

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/keys-to-unlock-the-south-african-economic-shackles-the-former-head-of-gencor-is-trying-to-bring-pretoria-and-the-anc-together-to-repair-the-country-s-battered-economy-john-carlin-reports-1560461.html

Friday 30 October 1992 00:02 GMT

DEREK KEYS, South Africa's Minister of Finance, Trade and Industry, has a stack of filthy pictures. Nothing that would be sold next to a certain book by Madonna, you understand, just a stark representation of how bad the state of his country's economy is.

The pictures - graphs of dire economic trends actually - have proved formidable shock tactics, helping Mr Keys to earn a good deal of respect and trust from Nelson Mandela.

Last month, the president of the African National Congress told the Johannesburg Star of a briefing he had received from the head of the ANC's economics department after a meeting with Mr Keys. 'He brought a statement from Keys which is well- considered and spells out in detail the actual state of our economy. And I got frightened,' Mr Mandela said. This from the man who precipitated a stock- market crash two days after his release from prison in early 1990 when he reaffirmed the commitment of his movement to nationalisation. Today, Mr Mandela has dropped the dreaded 'N-word' from his lexicon altogether.

'When Mr Mandela made his first speech after coming out, everybody immediately had to reassess their positions. Since then there's been a great improvement in the ANC focus in terms of economic systems. And that has come about because they have got acquainted with what the problem is, what means are likely to be at their disposal for addressing it.'

Mr Keys came to the job - and politics - in May, responding to a request from President F W de Klerk to give up his post as executive chairman of Gencor, South Africa's second-largest mining finance house, and take over the management of the national economy.

There is a strong sense that, while Mr Keys is not privy to all the secrets of state concerning the National Party's central obsession with retaining a strong grip on power in 'the new South Africa', he is left very much to his own devices in the economic terrain.

One task he has set himself - and he defined its resolution as critical to the pursuit of economic growth - involves active political engagement 'to stop the economic civil war'.

The way to stop the war, Mr Keys believes, is through consultation. 'In my maiden speech I mentioned 'the golden triangle' which is a hallmark of all societies that have managed to turn in above-average economic performances - by which I mean the establishment of a consensus between business, labour and the state.'

Substantial difficulties exist in realising this concept at this time, Mr Keys said - specifically, political difficulties. But progress is being made. He recently met leading representatives of business and the ANC-allied Congress of South Africa Trade Unions, with the objective of establishing a national economic forum, a notion rejected by the government before Mr Keys assumed his position.

Mr Keys said he was particularly encouraged on this score last month when he and Tito Mboweni [who later became the Governor of the South African Reserve Bank], a leading ANC economist, shared a platform at a conference in London. 'When it came to the aspect of looking towards the future, his and my speech could have been exchanged without anyone in the audience noticing.'

“Gencor fades, but scars remain”

https://www.iol.co.za/business-report/economy/gencor-fades-but-scars-remain-743970

Published Feb 5, 2006

Cape Town - Gencor, the now dormant investment holding group, is a pale shadow of its former self.

On January 16 the company announced that it would seek voluntary winding up now that a high court bid by a tribal authority to force it to pay for the environmental rehabilitation of the asbestos-contaminated town of Heuningvlei and the Bute mine in North West had been settled.

The company was no stranger to empowerment; in the 1960s, Afrikaner nationalists [a select few] encouraged Anglo American to sell assets to a forerunner of Gencor, which went on to produce Sappi, Gold Fields and Implats, among others.

[In 1953, Sanlam, FVB and Bonuscor established Federale Mynbou to facilitate the entry of Afrikaners into mining (Sanlam, 2021). The breakthrough was the takeover of Genmin by Federale Mynbou in 1964 through the assistance of Anglo. Fine and Rustomjee (1996: 161) say the move that signaled “a conscious accommodation of Afrikaner by English capital or compromise in the face of conflict”. (https://www.wits.ac.za/media/wits-university/faculties-and-schools/commerce-law-and-management/research-entities/scis/documents/BEE%20Transactions%20in%20SA%20after%201994.pdf)]

With the prospect of an ANC-led government coming to power in 1994, Gencor was unbundled and its assets sold off.

Derek Keys, a former Gencor chief executive and the finance minister in the government of national unity, persuaded the then governor of the Reserve Bank, Chris Stals, to authorise Gencor to ship $2.1 billion abroad to buy Billiton from Royal Dutch Shell.

Months later Keys retired as finance minister to become the chairman of Billiton. After several asset shuffles and purchases, Billiton became BHP Billiton, one of the world's largest minerals companies.

Yet it was not for the enormous wealth that it generated that Gencor would be remembered in its dying days. The company had an appalling record of human rights abuses and an equally terrible safety record. As a gold producer, it had among the highest numbers of deaths and disabling injuries.

“THE ASSASSINATION OF DR. H.F. VERWOERD: British-American Scheming and The Founders of the New South Africa” [1994] Part 1

https://www.radiofreesouthafrica.com/dr-hf-verwoerds-murder-haunting-naspers/

By Jaap Marais

Excerpts below

The revolutionary developments in South Africa culminating in the April 27, 1994 general elections and the handing over of political power to the Communist-controlled ANC have been gaining momentum since the assassination on the 6th September 1966 of Dr H F Verwoerd, the South African Prime Minister, by the Communist Demetrio Tsafendas. And it is therefore well to look afresh at the developments in their historical contexts.

How successful this government was, may be seen from the evidence by opponents and enemies of Dr Verwoerd, for example that of the now defunct Rand Daily Mail, which on July 30, 1966 (five weeks before the assassination of Dr Verwoerd) wrote as follows:

Surfeit of Prosperity

Rand Daily Mail – July 30, 1966 [Rand Daily Mail was owned by Anglo American. (https://hsf.org.za/publications/focus/issue-39-third-quarter-2005/the-rand-daily-mail-convenient-scapegoat)

“At the age of nearly 65 Dr Verwoerd has reached the peak of a remarkable career. No other South African prime minister has ever been in such a powerful position in the country. He is at the head of a massive majority after a resounding victory at the polls. The nation is suffering from a surfeit of prosperity and he can command almost unlimited funds for all that he needs at present in the way of military defence. He can claim that South Africa is a shining example of peace in a troubled continent, if only because overwhelming domestic power can always command peace.

This strong position was achieved by Dr Verwoerd under a policy of separate development (apartheid). The living standards of blacks were rising at 5,4% per year against that of the Whites at 3,9% per year. In 1965 the economic growth rate was the second highest in the world at 7,9%. The rate of inflation was 2% per annum and the prime interest rate 3% per annum. Domestic savings were so great that South Africa needed no foreign loans for normal economic expansion.

It was plain that in these circumstances South Africa was poised to become the dominating and unifying force in Southern Africa against the British-American-supported terrorist onslaught on the Portuguese territories of Mozambique and Angola and on Rhodesia and South West Africa.

It is well to recall that, for instance, the Frelimo terrorists received substantial financial support from the Ford Foundation of the USA, acting most likely as a front for the CIA and the State Department and that the ANC, while banned in South Africa, had its head office in London; and almost every Communist who left South Africa for safer ground, did not go to the Kremlin, but to London. And unquestionably, the Anti- Apartheid Movement (more correctly: the Anti-Afrikaner Movement) in Britain was a British Secret Service operation against South Africa – not forgetting that the US and Britain in an act of war already in 1961 instituted an arms boycott against South Africa; and that the USA was behind Liberia and Ethiopia’s application to the International Court in 1961 to break South West Africa’s ties with South Africa.

“THE ASSASSINATION OF DR. H.F. VERWOERD: British-American Scheming and The Founders of the New South Africa” [1994] Part 2

https://www.radiofreesouthafrica.com/dr-hf-verwoerds-murder-haunting-naspers/

By Jaap Marais

Notwithstanding the British and American influence in international affairs, South Africa was growing stronger and stronger.

From the Book – Verwoerd is Dead by Jan Francois Botha

In the history of South Africa his name will live for ever as the leader, who, when his country was threatened with internal disorder and with economic sanctions, boycotts and open aggression from overseas, stood as a symbol of defiance, and the will and determination to survive.”

It was evident that the British-American tactics had failed and that the direct opposite of what they were trying to achieve was actually taking place.

Dealing with the anticipated decision for the return of South Africa to the Commonwealth after the April 27 election, the author (Jack Viviers) said that if FW de Klerk would be a party to such a decision “it would remove a large part of the hate from the view held by a considerable number of influential Britons on Afrikaners”. This animosity is a seldom acknowledged fact, the usual thing being to accuse the Afrikaners of “still fighting the Boer War”. The article reads further: “The attitude of the British, particularly the mandarins of the British Foreign Office, who were in the vanguard of the fight against the National Government, was explained to me by an equally influential Brit… Lord Deedes, former editor of the Daily Telegraph… ” So the British government was fighting the South African government – a continuation, by other means, of the Boer War. [Does this explain the farm murders that continue until today/]

What follows this remarkable admission by Lord Deedes is even more remarkable. “While South Africa grew to become the economic giant of the continent, the other members of the Common-wealth virtually sank into poverty. This was the complete opposite of what they had hoped. That South Africa, under an Afrikaner government with their policy of apartheid, and no relations with the Commonwealth, should have become the economic giant of Africa was making the British Foreign Office and the US State Department to think what they had thought was unthinkable.

It was evident that Dr Verwoerd was winning the cold war conducted against the Afrikaner government of South Africa from the British Foreign Office and the US State Department.

South Africa’s increasingly powerful position in the sub-continent foreshadowed a Southern Africa of White-controlled governments, economically and militarily equal to any threat or adventure from outside and also to the challenge of the communist-led and British-American supported terrorists operating in Southern Africa. (Significantly, the first terrorist attack by Swapo took place within three weeks after the assassination of Dr Verwoerd, as if they were waiting for the event).

As has been the practice of imperialists even in the days of the Roman Empire, the present-day American and British imperialists latch on to the rich minorities in other countries. And this was also done in South Africa. The representative of the New York Herald Tribune, Arnold Beichman, wrote in the Johannesburg Sunday Times (20th June, 1965) that ‘prominent businessmen and industrialists in South Africa exert great pressure on the Prime Minister in the hope that he and his Cabinet would stop their anti-American speeches… Among the business groups which have expressed their dissatisfaction in private circles were prominent insurance companies, banks and liquor undertakings in Cape Town and Johannesburg.

“THE ASSASSINATION OF DR. H.F. VERWOERD: British-American Scheming and The Founders of the New South Africa” [1994] Part 3

https://www.radiofreesouthafrica.com/dr-hf-verwoerds-murder-haunting-naspers/

By Jaap Marais

Having identified these three types of businesses, Beichman came so close to naming the specific businesses that it was not necessary to say that the spokesmen were A D Wassenaar of SANLAM (insurance), Jan Marais of Trust Bank, and Anton Rupert of Rembrandt (liquor) – all three having had strong British and American connections. Wassenaar was married to the daughter of a former Lord Mayor of London, and he was a founder member of the Council of Foreign Relations front organisation, the United States-South Africa Leader Exchange Programme (USSALEP). Jan Marais boasted that his bank was run on American lines and that he was constantly visiting the USA.

Rupert was not only a founder member of USSALEP, but the key figure in its founding. He was financed by the Rothschild group in getting his tobacco concern on a sound basis and in acquiring tobacco interests such as Rothmans in Britain. Although strongly anti-British during World War II, he soon loosened his ties with the Afrikaner nationalists and became an exponent of a Pax Americana, hosting Bobby Kennedy on his visit to South Africa in 1961 and in various ways demonstrating his identification with British-American objectives.

These Afrikaans-speaking businessmen, in their movement away from their Afrikaner nationalist compatriots, inevitably moved closer to the internationalist Anglo-American financial interests, represented by Harry Oppenheimer’s Anglo- American Corp., which constituted the core of hostility to Afrikaner nationalism, and which was the successor to the financial interests that forced Britain in the war against the Boer republics in 1899-1902. (See J A Hobson: The War in South Africa, James Nisbetl, London, 1900)

Dr Verwoerd had been preparing to meet the challenge from these quarters and for this reason he unofficially instituted an investigation into the Anglo-American Corp. under the leadership of Prof Piet Hoek. The Hoek report was a very thorough job, and was privately circulated late in1965, early 1966, and evidently Oppenheimer, Rupert and others had been aware of the investigation. When Dr Verwoerd, on the 25th January 1966 said in Parliament: “We shall oppose the power concentrations and monopolies which occur in our country, and which constitute a real danger”, it was an oblique but unmistakable reference to the Hoek Report. Those who were involved in ‘the power concentrations and monopolies” knew what this would mean to their interests. And consequently they would have thought of ways to stop it.

The Oppenheimer empire had complete control of the English newspapers in South Africa, and they dutifully conformed to the requirements of protecting the money power interests and of promoting the British-American objectives in Southern Africa against Afrikaner nationalism.

These were the forces and the most prominent persons ranged against Dr Verwoerd and the policy of separate development in the ‘sixties. Dr Verwoerd was at the peak of his power, having successfully overcome the diplomatic and economic effects of leaving the Commonwealth in1961; uniting the white nation as never before; succeeding in creating an economic boom of unprecedented proportions; launching a program of military preparedness; crushing the Rivonia Slovo-Mandela-Communist plan of overthrowing the government by violent means; refusing to institute economic sanctions against the Rhodesian government of (an Smith after UDI and giving the Rhodesians moral and other support; practically annihilating the parliamentary opposition in the March 1966 general elections; and, very important, having the possibility of foreign intervention eliminated as a result of the International Court verdict in South Africa’s favour on the South West Africa issue.

They had been so sure of getting a verdict against South Africa on the South West Africa [now Namibia] issue that three days before the announcement of the Court’s verdict on the 18th July, 1966, the American Ambassador to South Africa delivered an aide memoire to Dr Verwoerd’s government that the USA would accept the Court verdict and expected the contending parties to abide by it.

The implication of this was that if Dr Verwoerd had refused to abide by an adverse verdict it would have constituted cause for military intervention by the USA in the guise of the United Nations Organisation, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in anticipation of a court verdict against South Africa having the year before provided what the Chicago Tribune had called a “battle blueprint” entitled “Apartheid and United Nations Collective Measures” by Amelia Leiss for military operations against South Africa. The Carnegie Endowment has been documented “as a powerful policy- making force inside the State Department” (Freeman Digest, June, 1984).

With the court verdict going against the US expectations, the whole elaborate scheme devised for acting against South Africa with the object of ending Dr Verwoerd’s rule, came to an abrupt end, leaving Dr Verwoerd very much stronger than before and his opponents completely frustrated.

This development must be seen as the failure of the ultimate plan for stopping Dr Verwoerd, all other possibilities having been previously eliminated: the parliamentary opposition of the former United Party and the former Progressive Party, enjoying American and British support, had been rendered impotent through the loss of support; the Communist-inspired plans of overthrowing the government by violent means had been effectively thwarted by the clean-up of the Rivonia gang, ending in the conviction of Nelson Mandela and his cohorts; the break-up of the SA Communist Party cells and the arrest and conviction of its leader, ex-Rhodes scholar, Abraham Fischer, The only remaining option for stopping Dr Verwoerd was foreign intervention on the question of South West Africa, on the grounds of an anticipated international Court verdict against South Africa.

“THE ASSASSINATION OF DR. H.F. VERWOERD: British-American Scheming and The Founders of the New South Africa” [1994] Part 5

When this failed in July 1966, there was only one option left – put an end to Dr Verwoerd’s life. Cillie – Rupert and “Verwoerd must go” plan.

Nine days before the assassination of Dr Verwoerd The Sunday Tribune (Durban) published a front page report banner headlined ‘Verwoerd must go’ plan: Cape Nats back Anton Rupert” It will be noticed that it is alleged that Piet Cillie, editor of Die Burger spearheaded the campaign and that Rupert was to replace Dr Verwoerd. It is stated that “There has been a carefully planned operation to isolate Dr Verwoerd and force a show-down” Neither Rupert nor Cillie ever repudiated this sensational report in public.

Paragraph 86: “lt is impossible to establish with any certainty exactly what was said. However there is no doubt that Dr Verwoerd’s death was mentioned on that morning, three days before his death. What makes these incidents more than a coincidence is the fact that this was said at the ship which was visited daily for almost 40 days by the man who killed Dr Verwoerd, where he bought a pistol and tried to buy a knife which he wanted to use – according to at least one statement made by him subsequently – to kill Dr Verwoerd.

The fact that Dr Verwoerd’s death was mentioned at that ship was probably more than pure coincidence’. Although significantly saying: ” That the fact that Dr Verwoerd’s death was mentioned at that ship was probably more than pure coincidence”, the Commissioner, strangely, did not go into this any further! If it was not coincidence, then of course it pointed to prior knowledge of Dr Verwoerd’s impending death. Yet the Commissioner just left it at that, and for instance did not even inquire into the connections of the Eleni, which incidentally left Table Bay harbour on the day of the assassination.

This was made more intriguing by another incident. On the day of the assassination, September 6, The Evening Standard of London carried the following report: “Young man on Dieppe-Newhaven ferry asked if there was any news of the Verwoerd’s assassination – last Friday (i.e.2nd September). Man he asked was Mr Allan Lomas, New Liberal candidate for Islington East in last General Election. Mr Lomas said today: “I was waiting to buy newspaper and coffee when young man asked – because he had no change to buy a paper – whether there was any report on Verwoerd assassination. I scanned paper and said he could borrow it as I was finished. I looked in Sunday papers and made inquiries about any attempts on Dr Verwoerd’s life but of course found nothing.”

In May 1959 he went to Britain and while there he was noticed in the company of leftists. Tsafendas said that some of these persons in private raised the possibility of having the Prime Minister of South Africa shot. Less than a year later in April 1960 Dr Verwoerd was, at short range, shot twice in his face by David Beresford Pratt, who had also been to Britain and had been involved in political activities of the Liberal Party. Miraculously Dr Verwoerd survived this attempt on his life.

This is of the same quality as the second paragraph of the Chapter of the Commission’s report entitled “Were there accomplices?” It reads as follows: “The Commission could find no evidence which could justify a finding that there were accomplices”.

In itself this would have caused eyebrows to raise, but what made it more suspect was the remarks of the man who had appointed the Commission, B J Vorster, Dr Verwoerd’s successor. The day after the assassination (September 7) The Star (Johannesburg) had a headline: “No sign of assassination plot. This was the work of a lone killer says Vorster”.

Apart from this flagrantly irresponsible and grave infringement on the province of the subsequently appointed Commission of Enquiry, Vorster’s role as Minister of Justice and therefore of Security, making him responsible for the security of Dr Verwoerd, is extremely questionable. It is the more questionable in view of his role in subsequently systematically destroying the foundations upon which Dr Verwoerd had built.

Another example of his handling of the events after the assassination centred on a press report that the Security Police had had a file on Tsafendas, and that when the head of the Security Police was phoned on the day of the assassination he in a short while had a file with him. The amazing thing that then happened was that Vorster issued a statement that “the report that the Security Police had a file on Tsafendas was devoid of all truth’. This was an evident cover-up as it was later revealed that the Security Police had had no less than four files on Tsafendas.

But only one was available from a room with “dead files”. One had been destroyed without authority, another had also been destroyed, and the fourth was completely missing. Vorster’s statement denying that there was a file was therefore calculated to mislead the public Vorster protected.

The revelations about the various files came only after Vorster, in the emotional atmosphere subsequent to the assassination, had been elected to succeed Dr Verwoerd.

Vorster, unknown to most of his supporters, was on friendly terms with Anton Rupert, who was allegedly involved in the “Verwoerd must go plan”. And Vorster, Rupert and other financial imperialists subsequently worked together in destroying what Dr Verwoerd had built.

It was later revealed in two books – South Africa Inc. and E Oppenheimer and Son – that Vorster had had cordial relations with Harry Oppenheimer of Anglo-American – something that would have destroyed his chances of succeeding Dr Verwoerd, had it been known to the majority of the National Party Caucus.

who benefited from the death, then there are several obvious candidates.

The first is Vorster and his immediate associates, who were put at the levers of power – an immense gain both personally and politically. The second group is the Verwoerd opponents in the National Party, like Anton Rupert and Piet Cillie. The third is the money powers with in the lead Harry Oppenheimer and Anton Rupert, who opposed Dr Verwoerd and knew that he was going to limit their monopolistic operations.

Most Important

The fourth, and perhaps the most important is the British-American powers behind the ANC, who were out to break the Afrikaners’ political power and get South Africa in line with the other Communist-controlled Southern African States of Mozambique, Angola, Zimbabwe and Namibia.

Tsafendas undoubtedly was a Communist, but it is not to the Soviet and the KGB that one must look for clues to the assassination of Dr Verwoerd. Tsafendas’ Communist leanings was a useful shield behind which others in Britain, the USA and probably also Israel, as well as some in South Africa operated. For all of these Dr Verwoerd constituted a stark obstacle to their aims. In his adherence to principles he was gaining in power and international stature.

All but Black majority rule

What must be noted is that the government formed by the new State President is all but representative of Black majority rule. The government presently consist of 27 ministers and 12 deputy ministers, apart from the President and two deputy presidents. Of the 18 ANC representatives in the Cabinet appointed by the President at least 10 are members of the Communist Party, and several more suspected Communists. And of the nine deputy ministers representing the ANC at least four are Communists. The significance of this is that the South African Communist Party (SACP) on its own would not have been able to get a single member of parliament elected, yet it is in a commanding position in the government – in the name of majority rule!

“THE ASSASSINATION OF DR. H.F. VERWOERD: British-American Scheming and The Founders of the New South Africa” [1994] Part 8

This is of particular significance in view of the existence and operations of “the creeping coup” in the SACP revealed by The International Freedom Foundation in April 1991. It was initiated in the early eighties by Slovo, Maharaj, Kasrils and the deceased Hani “to capture every senior position within the ANC”. international Freedom Foundation said that this process was “virtually complete”.

The Foundation revealed that only eight of the 35 member National Executive Committee (NEC)of the ANC were not Communists before the release of Mandela. After Mandela and Sisulu had joined the NEC the ratio was 26 Communists against ten non-Communists. The operations of this “creeping coup” are probably behind the late appointments of Communists as Ministers and deputy ministers.

Oppenheimer further said that Mandela had sought his approval of two Cabinet appointments -probably those of Derek Keys and Pik Botha, the former having come from one of the companies closely associated with Oppenheimer and the latter being a Freemason who is a holder of The Order of Malta (in the company of Dr Piet Koornhof, former Cabinet Minister and ambassador). Both departments – Finance and Mineral and Energy Affairs – are close to the heart of the money powers in South Africa and it is most likely that Oppenheimer would have sought to have “his men” appointed.

The national unity of the government trumpeted by Mandela is a fiction, as may be seen from the fact that in the April election only 2% of Blacks voted for the NP, the Democratic Party and the Freedom Front, while only 3% of Whites voted for the ANC. The near disastrous economic position of the country and the absence of respect for law and order in the wake of incessant “change” and “reform” make an orderly transition to a radically new constitutional set-up impossible.

The “government of national unity” is doomed to fall apart. The new situation presents a formidable challenge to the Afrikaners and their English speaking White compatriots. The hardcore of the Afrikaner people is accepting that the new constitutional set-up will not last long and will lead to ethnic friction and political disintegration, a matter to be dealt with separately in a subsequent review.

The spirit of rejection and resistance among Afrikaners, which was treacherously deflected by Gen Constand Viljoen and his cronies, is again rising. And there is capable leadership outside Parliament to wield it into a force.

>Dr Verwoerd had been preparing to meet the challenge from these quarters and for this reason he unofficially instituted an investigation into the Anglo-American Corp. under the leadership of Prof Piet Hoek. The Hoek report was a very thorough job, and was privately circulated late in1965, early 1966, and evidently Oppenheimer, Rupert and others had been aware of the investigation.

Description

The Hoek Report/ Die Hoek Verslag covers an audit into capitalist ownership of the South African Economy. It was to be chaired in the South African Parliament on the 6th September [1966] by President Hendrik Verwoerd but he was assassinated on the day and the National Party hid the document's findings from the public.

First page of the document is an article, a portion is translated;

In the Stock Exchange Yearbook of 1975, the following facts came to light in connection with some of the Oppenheimer companies:

• Anglo-American Corporation paid more than 10 percent tax in just one year in the period 1970 to 1974. On a profit of R83 million in 1974, he paid less than R5 million tax – about 6 percent instead of the normal company tax of 49 percent.

• Rand Selections did not even pay 2 percent tax in any single year of the period 1970 to 1974. In 1974 its profit was R46 million.

The Hoek report was completed in 1968, but it was never allowed to circulate in wide circles. Prof Piet Hoek, deputy manager of Yskor, was the compiler.

He was instructed to investigate Mr. Oppenheimer's money power in the sixties by the late Dr. H.F. Verwoerd. The report was completed after Dr. Verwoerd's death.

Reportedly, Mr. Vorster later completed interest for the report. Furthermore, it was learned that Gen. H.J. van den Bergh, head of Boss, multiplied the report.

When the report was used at a meeting in the Northern Transvaal in the 1970 election, a court order against an English Sunday newspaper prohibited them from publishing anything about the report.
