Reitz Four Convicted Of Crimen Injuria

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.

Four White students at the University of Free State in South Africa have plead guilty to crimen injuria for making a video that put Black janitorial staff at the school through a series of humiliating tasks.

RC Malherbe, Johnny Roberts, Schalk van der Merwe and Danie Grobler, former residents of the now-closed Reitz men's residence on the Bloemfontein campus, made the video as a protest against integration plans at the university. In exclusive interviews with The Right Perspective, it was learned that many incidents of Black-on-White violence and intimidation occurred on campus as the result of integration, with school authorities turning a blind eye to matter.

The video features a mock initiation of five Black staff members into hostel activities, including having them eat a “vomit-inducing” mixture of water, bread, coffee, protein powder, raw garlic and milk that looked like someone had urinated into but never really did.

The four men chose the workers because they were on good terms with them, said defense lawyer Kemp J. Kemp. The workers were explicitly told not to swallow the mixture, but to “play-act” the vomiting, not to smile and act seriously during the scene. They also had the option of leaving at any time and were paid with a bottle of vodka, a term agreed upon before the filming began.

“The accused did not realize the effect of the video and what it would have on the university and the plaintiffs. They now, in retrospect, accept that the use of the workers for the video was insensitive, ill considered and wrong,” Kemp read from a prepared statement apologizing for the video that was written by the men in court.(43)+

Kemp is famous in South Africa for successfully defending president Jacob Zuma in a rape case several years ago, reports the BBC.

Judge Mziwonke Hinxa fined the four men US$2,720 (SAR 20,000) each and imposed a six-month jail term suspended on condition of good behavior for five years.

The four must not repeat “discrimination against any other person on grounds of race” over the next five years, Hinxa said.

As previously reported, assault charges against the four men were dropped last August. They were also reinstated to the University after being initially kicked out in the name of reconciliation.

ANC party spokesperson Jackson Mthembu called the sentencing “appropriate.”

“This sentencing will also serve as a deterrent to any individual who seeks to undermine and humiliate fellow citizens on the basis of their gender, ethnicity, religion and social standing in the society,” Mthembu said.
