South Africa: Three SA farms attacked after cops had ‘checked the gun-safe’

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.

The following is a letter to Andre Snyman of Eblockwatch.

The writer – a farmer’s wife – has a cautionary tale.
Their farm was attacked three weeks after two police officer had come to ‘check their (registered gun-)safe’. Apparently the police are entitled to just walk into any SA citizen’s home to ‘check the safe?”

SA farming communities apparently have an agreement with the police that they will contact the farmers before their visit and arrange a relative to accompany them, for security reasons. In this case,the farmer’s father had arrived with two female police officers who had contacted them with a request to ‘check the safe’.

The farmer’s wife reports that at least two other similar attacks have taken place in their own region after the ‘safes were checked’.

Following is the letter (with the farmer’s identity removed)

Peter, my husband said i should email you of our attack and explain our concern on the safe checks:
We have lived in xxxxxxxxin xxxxxxfor 12,5 years. We have at least 60 staff members that live on our farm too.
Our farm is quite hidden away and it is not a passer-by that would decide to attack.

At 5.40am Saturday morning 23Feb 08, we were getting ready to leave, to take our daughter and her friend to their school sports day.
We opened our doors let the dogs out, the dogs started barking, we could hear they were barking at something specific outside, I was closest to the door so I walked out the
house and into the garage, i switched on the garage lights and expecting to see our farm security or a pot-belly pig in the garage, 3 armed men ran towards me with guns!

I yelled and they shoved a pistol into my mouth.
My husband who was on his way out to check the dogs, heard my scream and ran into the garage.
They pistol whipped him, threw him on the ground tied him up with cable ties and duct tape and duct taped his mouth.
They kicked him in the face and on his body.

They wanted the cash in our safe. This was the worst thing because we have had a safe for all the years but have never brought cash to our home.
We showed them our empty safe which made them extremely aggressive and angry.
I told them a lift was coming to collect us, they should hurry!
They were panicky! We gave them the pettycash tin from the office, they took my jewelery off my neck. my husbands wallet, and 2 cell phones.
They left in our Audi, we contacted tracker, they located our car on the xxxxxxxxxx road, the Rxxxx.
The thugs saw the cop lights, pulled off and ran into the veld.

The tracker dogs picked up their scent,and lead them to the tar road.
They must have gotten into a vehicle at this time.

We! are ext remely grateful because we know what could have happened to us!
We are alive, we were not raped, they did not touch our 15year old daughter or her friend.
Thank you God!

Where did they come from? we are not an easy target because of where we live.
Some concerns that we feel need to be investigated:

3 weeks before the incident took place, our father-in-law brought 2 woman cops to our home to check the safe.
When i saw them walking into our home I got an incredibly sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, 3 weeks later we are hit????
Is there something in this or not, we have heard in the short space of time that we have been discussing this of 2 other incidences.
It may not be a cop dishing out information about people with safes and their addresses, but it may be an admin clerk? working with this information.

Andre can you help us with this, is there anything in these bad feelings we have about the safe checking ? obviously if we can catch the guys we could find out more.
