President Mbeki gives Amnesty to Farm Attackers

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 press release I received from TAU (Transvaal Agricultural Union), which is the largest agricultural union in South Africa. It reads:-

The lack of transparency of the Presidencial amnesty for 33 chosen

party members, amongst others farm murderers, Zama Thutha, Luvoyo

Kulman, Monwabisi Khundulu en Lollie Kwakwari, are raising a number of

questions with farmers. Equally Kwane Sebe’s bombing of his second in

command’s home for identifying him in another murder, can probably

hardly be classified as a politically inspired act.

The SAPS and TRC Judge Wilson found that these murders were not

politically inspired, yet the President released them and found it to

be part of the “struggle”. The SAPS, SANDF, researchers and several

commissions are adamant that farm attacks are simply acts of crime.

Will future Presidents release these “criminals” due to their

contribution to the “extended struggle”?

Has membership of the ANC Youth League become the latest qualification

required for amnesty, or should farmers read more into it? If this is

the case, the “Mugabe signals” are clearly recognisable as party

members receive the benefits, whilst opposition members are held in

modern maximum security prisons and those outside intimidated and

murdered.

The President owes the farmers of South Africa an explanation

regarding the implications of his decision, namely:

a.. Are the attacks on farmers politically inspired?

b.. Are farms, therefore farmers, their families and workers targets

of the “extended struggle”?

c.. Are farm attackers classified as freedom fighters?

d.. Is the President above the Law, including the Judicial system,

TRC and law enforcement?

The President correctly has the powers of amnesty and this is not

questioned. The President nevertheless should set an example to his

administration. Transparency is an important cornerstone of the

Constitution, therefore demands the necessary respect by the President

also.

The Presidents judgement and his advisors are forsaking him. If

amnesty is the issue, it should include all parties, with clearly

defined norms, to prevent mere criminals to flood the streets,

nevertheless applied fairly.

President Mbeki is leaving his flanks open to a “Mugabe label”. There

is a lot counting against him as it is with amongst others the Aids

issue, his inability to address the most important national issues and

all kinds of errors by his administration. A repeat of their previous

crimes by any of the beneficiaries of this amnesty could easily lead

to more claims for damages against the Government. Law abiding South

Africans cannot afford more of this.

President Mbeki should address the country regarding his motivation

for his decisions. Strategic plans for agriculture will remain plans

if the concern of farmers are not addressed sufficiently, said Mr Gert

Ehlers, President of TAU.
