The Roll Call of South Africa's
Killing Fields
By Anthony C. LoBaido

While Apartheid is now a memory, racial injustice
has changed color in South Africa and Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. The West and the world
watched the Balkans and Rwanda decay into anarchy. Sadly, the current South
African ANC Black government is permitting the killing of it's own white farmers
as fast as possible -- and taking the land. A similar mad macabre death dance is
emerging today in Zimbabwe while the world is silent.
A new killing fields, not unlike Pol Pot's Cambodia is emerging in South Africa.
More than 195,000 South Africans have been murdered since 1994. Over 1191
farmers out of 40,000 since 1994, with another 6,000 attacks recorded. It is
interesting to note that on Dec.13, 2000, Alet Roux, an Afrikaner journalist
investigating farm murders was also killed.
The following is a listing of the known names of all farm attack murder victims
from May 31, 2000 -- when the SA government placed a ten-month censorship ban on
publication of all such crime statistics:
The violent farm attacks now are reported merely as ordinary
"burglaries" and are no longer listed under "serious, violent
crimes" by the SA Police statitsticians:
