Orange Free State, South Africa -- The African dawn cried out with a radiant
blaze of red and orange pastel strokes along the horizon. The Coeztee farmstead
basked in the light of the emerging morning like a gleaming pearl and golden
mielie fields swayed in the soft Orange State breeze.
"It's paradise, isn't it?" South African farmer Kobus Coeztee asked
WorldNetDaily, marveling at the peaceful sunrise. "I am the fourth generation
to farm this land, and Lord willing, there will be another five generations
after me."
WorldNetDaily observed a full day of back breaking labor on Coetzee's farm and
was treated to a proper braii of lamb, an Afrikaner staple. Many Afrikaners
also make a strong drink called "mampoer" from fermented peaches and
other ingredients.
However, Coezteeís hopes for the future are threatened by the low intensity
warfare being waged against the Afrikaner people by radical blacks of the "Azania
People's Organization" or AZAPO.
There are 40,000 white farmers in South Africa. Over 1200 have been brutally
murdered since 1994 - the year the Marxist African National Congress, backed
by the United Nations, European Union, Russia, China and the U.S. State Department,
took power.
Add to this another 6,000 attacks and the white Boer Afrikaner farmer is easily
the highest at-risk murder group on Earth. The ANC has responded to this crisis
by blaming whites and putting a ban on crime statistics because they scare off
foreign investment.
"I won't hold my breath waiting for Oprah to call, or Jesse Jackson, Jimmy
Carter or Al Sharpton," Coetzee told WorldNetDaily.
"It's politically correct to kill whites these days. What is so strange
is the fact that we white farmers feed the black population. But look at Zimbabwe.
The black leaders have engineered a famine against their own black citizens.
It's as if it's all part of some horrible 'master plan.' Apparently getting
blacks to starve blacks to death doesn't really bother anyone in the Western
world."
To the north, Zimbabweís Marxist dictator Robert Mugabe has liquidated
the nation's white farmers with illegal land siezures and torture, rape and
murder.
"The world community has stood by and done nothing," says Aletta Kloppers,
Coetzee's closest neighbor. "So we have no choice but to defend ourselves."
Kloppers explained how rogue blacks broke into her farmhouse and tried to rape
and rob her family, which includes four teenaged daughters. Many of the killings
of white farmers include the torture, rape and mutilation of women, including
small children, toddlers and even babies.
"Fortunately my husband and I were able to use our firearms to drive them
off of our land. But they will be back," she told WorldNetDaily.
Kloppers said that she hired a martial arts teacher to work with her family
on hand to hand combat and knife fighting.
"Our daughters are beautiful yes, but they are tough too," Kloppers
said. "You won't see the Afrikaner children in tattoos, gang clothes, riddled
with diseases and their bodies filled with holes. We are Christians and we will
fight for Christian civilization. We know who are enemies are in the mass media,
those who would destroy the minds and bodies of our children. When the war finally
comes in this country and through the Western world, the cultural elites will
be the first to be confronted."
"We Afrikaners are a fair and decent people. We are glad Apartheid is over
and we are ready to embrace change," farmer Kalfi Van der Wat told WorldNetDaily.
Van der Wat collects antique automobiles and stores them on his farm west of
Johannesburg.
One of the latest problems facing South Africaís farmers is that some
of the farm killings appear to be drug related. South African Police told WorldNetDaily
that Pakistani's have bought up several farmers after the white owners were
killed and began planting poppies of Central Asian origin.
"South Africa's dirty little secret, well, there are many dirty secrets
here, is that we are the transit point for 25 percent of the world's drugs,"
South African policewoman Debbie Botha told WorldNetDaily.
South Africaís farmers, frustrated with an apathetic government that
actually seems to "cheer on the killings of whites" says Van der Wat,
have turned to a variety of options in dealing with the crime wave.
One option is the creation of private security companies, staffed by former
elite special forces operators of the now defunct South African Defense Force.
The SADF drove out Cuba and the Soviets from Angola in the 1980's and is known
to have produced some of the world's finest soldiers.
Several groups of farmers have sought the help of Executive Outcomes, led by
former Apartheid-era SADF Special Forces members. EO is the world's largest,
private mercenary army and has fought in Angola, Sierra Leone, Papua New Guinea
and in other nations as well.
Yet despite their best efforts, the killings continue.
"The radical blacks hate us, because we are strong, blonde, hard working
and productive. We came to South Africa and turned it into the richest country
in the world, while before we came, the locals had been here for many centuries
and did nothing with the land," Coetzee told WorldNetDaily.
Added Kloppers, "The farm invasion problem is not only confined to South
Africa. Look at Zimbabwe. Look at the call for white Australians to give their
land back to the Aborigines. Look at the problems on the border with Mexico
and the United States, and as massive Third World immigration in Europe. European,
Western Civilization is totally under siege by the New World Order elite. But
we are strong and smart and we will survive as we always have."
"We are strong and rugged and we will survive. We have fought the communists
and the United Nations globalists for decades. We know their tactics. I can
assure you there is indeed a plan for a Third Boer War, down to the last detail.
It wonít take much to cripple South Africaís cities and water
supply I can assure you. People are angry and ready for war. We have seen our
women and children raped and killed. Sometimes a war is the only answer to your
problems. Remember, the great Boer prophet Seer van Rensburg has prophecized
that the whites will again come to rule in Southern Africa."
Meanwhile in South Africa, last week Cape Talk radio interviewed a interviewed
a Zimbabwean Reuters reporter and broadcaster who has been granted ex-white
farm land. His name is Reuben Babwe. In defending himself, he told the Cape
Talk interviewer that the same thing is being done in South Africa and that
he knows what is really going on with farm repossession in South Africa. The
interviewer asked him whether he meant the farm murders here are part of the
repossession drive and he said yes. Babwe said that South Africans are "sitting
on a powder keg."
