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.

A Durban mother is living in fear that her two remaining sons will be murdered after three others were killed in an execution-style shooting.
Shattered Nokwanda Khanyile, 49, from KwaMashu M section, this week said she could not comprehend the slaughter of Siyabonga, 30, Ntsikelelo, 19, and Mthembeni, 12, who were all gunned down in their house along with their friend Senzo Mbanjo, 20, who was visiting them.
The massacre has left Khanyile fearing for the lives of her two other sons, Linda, 28, and Kwazi, 20, who were not at home when the incident happened last Friday night.

Khanyile, a street vendor, said: “I was still in town when I received a phone call telling me to hurry back home. I knew something was wrong but I did not think I would arrive to the news that my boys had been killed,” she said tearfully.
Siyabonga’s girlfriend, Phindile Mncube, 25, who is seven month’s pregnant, then described what happened.
“We were all sitting together just talking and laughing. I then went to a neighbour’s house because I wanted to watch television. After about 30 minutes I heard what sounded like firecrackers. I wasn’t sure whether it was firecrackers or gunshots – it went off four or five times,” she said.
“I panicked and quickly switched off the television, but then it was all quiet again. I went out to investigate and I didn’t see anyone so I went into the house where I had left the guys. Since nobody answered my knock on the door, I just walked in. All four guys were lying face down as though they were sleeping.
“I hadn’t seen the blood. Siyabonga and Senzo were making funny noises and I thought that they were snoring,” she continued.
Mncube said she then shook Siyabonga, trying to wake him up to ask him if “he had heard the noise” and that is when she was confronted by the awful truth.
“That’s when I saw the wound in his head and that’s when I realised that they had all been shot.”
Siyabonga was still alive when Mncube discovered them but he died on the way to hospital. All four were shot in the head but Ntsikelelo was also shot in the neck and hand.
According to neighbours, three men were seen running out of the Khanyile house after the shots were fired.
Khanyile said her sons were not violent people and had no enemies, although Mncube said there was once a scuffle with other boys from the township but she thought the issue had been resolved.
Ntsikelelo and Mthembeni were both Muslims and they were buried the next morning and Siyabonga will be buried today.
Khanyile said it had been a period of great sorrow for the family as she buried her sister two weekends ago. “My sister died after a long illness and now I live in fear that they will come back and kill my other two sons. I really don’t know what I have done to deserve such punishment.”
Mbanjo’s grandmother, Mazikode Mbanjo, said: “If my grandson had stayed at home as I had told him to, he would not have been shot. I think it was a case of him being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
Police spokesperson Sizwe Dlamini said they were still investigating but they had ruled out robbery as a motive since nothing was stolen.
