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.

S.Africa: Recalled: Girl raped & stabbed 215 times
[I’m not fully familiar with this case, but it appears to be an issue of a gang killing among coloured people. They are found predominantly in the coloured communities. Gangs should be wiped out – WIPED OUT! I find it hard to believe that it is difficult to do. Infiltrate them, arrest the whole lot, hang those who need to be hanged and sentence the rest to hard labour. I wish. I can dream can’t I? Jan]
She was only 15 years old when her naked body – which had been stabbed 215 times – was found in a shallow grave in Atlantis.
Now the four men accused of Edwina Booysen’s brutal rape and murder – Wilhelm Pieterse, Steven Delport and brothers Samuel and Elvis du Toit – began their trial in the Cape High Court this week. They were aged between 16 and 21 when they allegedly killed Edwina and all have pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
While little evidence has yet uncovered the motives behind the killing – described as “almost ritualistic” by certain law enforcement officials – it is strongly believed to be gang-related.
Edwina’s murder sent shock waves through the Atlantis community and the discovery of her partly decomposed body – found two weeks after she was reported missing on July 2, 2002 – is believed to have motivated an arson attack on the home of the Du Toit brothers.
‘All have pleaded not guilty to all the charges’
The body was discovered, naked except for a pair of socks, after Elvis du Toit led police to a shallow grave in the veld near Atlantis. Items of female clothing, including a bloody scarf, were found at the Du Toit’s house on the day of the arson.
An autopsy conducted on Edwina’s body, during which a small amount of sand was found inside her lungs, revealed that the teenager was probably pushed face down into the sand in the time before her death.
The girl, whose family say she wanted to be a police officer and loved to dance, had been stabbed in the heart at least 10 times and her left buttock had sustained some 37 stab wounds.
The state alleges that Edwina and a 12-year-old friend, who will be testifying via closed circuit television, visited the Du Toit brothers’ home on July 1 2002. The girls are believed to have taken drugs and drunk alcohol with the Du Toit brothers, Pieterse and Delport.
At some point, the “party” turned ugly.
‘The girls are believed to have taken drugs’
After escaping an alleged rape attempt, Edwina’s friend went to the Atlantis police station to lay a charge of attempted rape, which she later withdrew. The girl was apparently frantically worried about her friend, begging police to look for her.
During the time of her abduction, the state claims that Edwina was gang-raped by the the Du Toit brothers, Pieterse and Delport. Following the rape, Delport – an alleged member of the 28s prison gang – said she would have to be killed.
On July 2 2002, the state claims the accused indicated to certain unnamed parties that the “nommer vol is” (that the order had been completed) and that Edwina had been buried.
In court on Tuesday, all the accused – except for Delport – showed extreme interest in the photographs of where Edwina’s body was found, often straining their necks to catch a glimpse.
Edwina’s mother, Louise, and father, Jacobus, sat outside the court with her sisters, Rachel, 28, and Laetitia, 24.
Rachel Booysen said it was “very difficult” for the family to face what had happened to her “hard-working and friendly” sister.
“She loved Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston and she said her biggest dream was to marry some nice man and live in a nice house.
“We all miss her so much and wish she was still here with us.”
