An Australian"s Agonizing death from Acid

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

An Australian"s Agonizing death from Acid

[Note. Here is another report regarding the poor Australian who was murdered in Zimbabwe. In this case it tells of his agony and suffering. Take note of the suffering of the poor man and the two black clerks who are battling for their lives…

Take note of how this “robbery” has a “political flavour”. That is what I wrote of in Government by Deception – hiding war in apparent criminal acts. This is a known tactic.

Professor Liebenberg, a lecturer and specialist on Revolutionary warfare, told me that this is a common communist revolutionary tactic. They kill whites, pretend its a crime, arrest them, and quietly let them off the hook after a little slap on the wrist… meanwhile those in power wanted this all along.

Napoleon once made a statement to the effect that: “The strong are good and the weak are evil”. It never made sense to me… but here in Africa, I can see the logic of this statement. The weak, in order to move forward, have to resort to extreme deception and hence… evil… and this is how they do it… Meanwhile the strong (good), are always forgiving, trying to help, and trying to be positive… when in fact, they should actually be resorting to violence. Liberalism doesn’t work in Africa. Jan]

He died an agonising death after being forced to drink acid and paint thinners.

It was one of the most horrifying murders in Zimbabwe’s political conflict.

Australian/Zimbabwean account- ant Philip Laing (48) was handcuffed to a tree in the bush and left to die after a night of suffering at the hands of attackers suspected of being supporters of the ruling Zanu-PF party.

Two account clerks, Ernest Pfumbi and Maphion Njopera, who worked with him and were force-fed the same lethal concoction, were battling for their lives in the intensive-care unit of a hospital in Zimbabwe’s eastern Manicaland province.

According to sources, the attack had a distinctly political flavour, although robbery was also involved.

They said police were informed that four men wearing camouflage uniforms arrived at the offices of a British-owned tea company, Eastern Highlands Plantations Pvt Ltd, last week demanding foreign currency and pamphlets of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change, which they claimed were on the premises.

They found neither, and then stole the Christmas wages for the company’s 8 000 workers.

They then kidnapped seven people and took them with them. The seven were found the next day handcuffed to trees, about 45km from the offices from where they were abducted.

One of the survivors told company representatives that Laing had lived through much of the night but died before dawn from internal injuries, ThisDay correspondent Peta Thornycroft reported yesterday.

Njopera and Pfumbi were admitted to hospital in a critical condition. Their company has reportedly asked the media not to reveal which hospital they are in, out of fear of another attack.

The condition of the other survivors was not clear last night, although they were not as badly injured as the two clerks.

According to one source, two survivors who had lost their sight after the attack had regained it by yesterday.

It was still unclear last night whether the attack had been politically motivated.

According to one source, the fact that the attackers had asked for MDC papers and foreign exchange clearly suggested a political motive. The Zimbabwean government often issues public denunciations of its political enemies in the business world for allegedly hoarding foreign exchange rather than handing it over to the Reserve Bank.

MDC MP David Coltart said last night that although the perpetrators had not been caught – and their motives remained unclear – many such attacks in Zimbabwe were politically motivated.

“Many of these attacks are clearly designed as part of a wider policy of subtle ethnic cleansing. Several calls by (Information Minister Jonathan) Moyo and others in the government on their followers to ‘get all whites out’ are serving as incitement for this sort of attack.”

Coltart said Manicaland farmers had in the past had a relatively easy time because of a moderate provincial governor. But he had recently been replaced by a hardline militant “who no doubt has been given his mandate”, he said.

Another source, who wished to remain anonymous, said it was clear Laing had been singled out for especially bad treatment because he was white.

“This is the result of hate speech by the government. The United Nations should be investigating this sort of incident,” the source said.

Although Laing had been described in reports as Australian, he is believed to have been of Zimbabwean origin. His parents farmed in Zimbabwe and emigrated recently after being driven off their farm near Harare by war veterans. – Independent Foreign Service
