Farm attacks not racially motivated - ISS | |||
2014-10-08 | |||
[e-NCA] JOHANNESBURG - Farm attacks are not racially motivated, the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) said on Monday. "People went to farms to steal, motivated by greed," researcher Johan Burger told reporters in Johannesburg. What then explains the rape, brutal butchery and murder ?
He said racial insults were sometimes used during such crimes, but this did not mean race or politics were the motives of such attacks. Same with screaming Allah Akbar whilst conducting a murderous shoot spree, no Mooslim connection, none at all.
Phasing out a low cost system that had worked effectively for hundreds of years....excellent idea. "The problem with the national rural strategy is that it is too broad and under-resourced," he said. He said no official reason was given for phasing out the commandos, but it was alleged they were aligned to right-wing groups. Rape and murder is always preferred to right-wing conservatives. "That is incorrect because black people were part of the commandos, although the management was mostly whites." Earlier the Agricultural Research Council said it spent R10-million per year on private security. "We do experience robbery and theft in our facilities," CEO Shadrack Moephuli said. R10m = roughly equals 1m USD. He said they had communicated farmers' safety concerns to the agriculture ministry. National police commissioner Riah Phiyega was expected to represent the police at the hearing. No worries. Pulling out all stops, able Inspector Phiyega is on the case. | |||
