Boer sien in sms'e hoe rekening leeggetrek word
Kroonstad. – ’n Boer van dié dorp het magteloos toegekyk hoe altesame tien SMS’e een ná die ander op sy selfoon deurkom toe skelms, wat vermoedelik sy bankkaart gekopieer het, sy rekening leeggetrek het totdat daar uiteindelik net R2 oorgebly het.
“Daar was meer as R8000 in dié rekening,” het mnr. Koot Jonker van die plaas Meintjiesrus, tussen Kroonstad en Vredefort, aan Beeld gesê.
Die voorval blyk nie ’n ongewone verskynsel te wees nie.
Kapt. Msisitheki Selima, woordvoerder van die polisie in Kroonstad, sê ’n hele aantal bykans soortgelyke voorvalle in die dorp is reeds onder die polisie se aandag gebring.
Beeld het intussen ook verneem van vier soortgelyke voorvalle in Kroonstad en een in Edenville.
“Ek laat nooit my bankkaart onder my oë uit nie. Ek is altyd by as ’n kassier my kaart deur die masjien trek,” het Jonker vertel.
Dié bankrekening gebruik Jonker uitsluitlik vir dieselaankope vir sy vervoeronderneming, Stokstert-vervoer.
“Die selfoon se battery was pap en ek het dit aan die laaier gekoppel. Ek het die foon deur die nag gelaai.
“Die volgende oggend het ek eers die tien SMS’e (wat die bank aan rekeninghouers stuur ná elke aankoop of onttrekking van meer as R100) gesien.”
Jonker het gesê die skok was baie groot toe hy besef sy bankrekening is bykans dolleeg. Hy het nog dié SMS’e op sy foon.
Jonker se seun, Adri,het gesê: “Ek dink as die OTM munte kon gee, het hulle seker die R2 ook getrek.”
Ofskoon dit reeds te laat was, het Jonker sr. dadelik die bankkaart gestop.
“Die bankgroep het my ’n eisvorm gegee om te voltooi. Die bank het gesê ek kan die geld terugkry nadat die eis afgehandel is.”
Jonker sr. het ook ’n klag by die Kroonstadse polisie ingedien.
“Waar en wanneer die kaart gekloon is, weet ek nie,” het ’n magtelose Jonker bygevoeg.
Jonker jr. het gesê dié voorval laat ’n mens wonder waar jy deesdae nog jou geld veilig kan hou.

Kaapstad. – Mnr. Gugile Nkwinti, minister van landelike ontwikkeling en grondhervorming, het boere gister gewaarsku om “saam te werk” om ’n krisis “erger as (in) Zimbabwe” te verhoed.
Boonop blyk dit die nasionalisering van grond is, ondanks beloftes tot die teendeel, nie van die tafel af nie omdat die minister dit voorstaan.
Hy het in ’n onderhoud met die ontleder Justice Malala op die eNews-kanaal gesê swart Suid-Afrikaners wil
hê landbougrond moet, soos in die struggle-jare beloof is, genasionaliseer word.
“Dit is swart Suid-Afrikaners se siening ... en myne. Mense wil radikale grondhervorming sien.”
Dit volg op weke van omstredenheid nadat die departement se strategiese plan wat volgens waarnemers op die nasionalisering van grond neerkom, ter tafel gelê is.
Nkwinti het verlede week in sy begrotingstoespraak gesê die regering sal grond nie summier afvat of die Grondwet verander nie, maar stel ’n verblyfregstelsel met drie vlakke voor.
Nkwinti se onbedekte aanval op boere staan in kontras met wat hy in die verlede oor kommersiële boere se rol in die grondhervormingsproses gesê het.
Hy het boere in November verlede jaar in ’n onderhoud met Beeld geloof vir hul toewyding tot die herstel van grondregte en ook mooi woorde vir hulle gehad tydens ’n onlangse Agri SA-kongres in Somerset-Wes.
Aan Malala het Nkwinti gesê ’n tweede Zimbabwe moet gekeer word. “As hulle (boere) nie besef hulle moet saamwerk nie ... sal hulle verantwoordelik gehou word vir die skep van toestande wat tot iets ergers as Zimbabwe kan lei.”
Hy het gesê die regering voorsien nie ’n verandering aan die Grondwet nie en dat die nuwe groenskrif oor grondhervorming gaan help met die raamwerk waarbinne grondoordrag kan plaasvind.
Hy meen ook nie ’n radikale omwenteling sal voedselsekerheid bedreig nie omdat “dit aan meer opkomende boere die geleentheid sal bied om te produseer”.
Mnr. Frans Cronjé, uitvoerende adjunkhoof van die Suid-Afrikaanse Instituut vir Rasseverhoudinge, het gesê dit is ondanks Nkwinti se woorde tot die teendeel duidelik “die nasionalisering van grond ís regeringsbeleid, dit staan swart op wit”.
“Hy ontken dit, maar dit staan in die strategiese plan. As dit dan verkeerdelik ingeglip het, waarom word die direkteur-generaal (mnr. Tozi Gwanya, wat dit opgestel het) nie gerepudieer nie? Ek glo hulle eenvoudig nie. Ek sal sover gaan om te sê hulle lieg.”
Cronjé meen sulke planne sal die land onherstelbare skade berokken en die einde beteken van Suid-Afrika as ’n selfstandige, suksesvolle demokrasie.
Mnr. Johannes Möller, president van Agri SA, het Nkwinti se “dubbelpratery” betreur en gesê sy organisasie se beplanning is as gevolg daarvan net op kort termyn gefokus.
Nkwinti gaan te ver
Pretoria – Die uitlatings van mnr. Gugile Nkwinti, minister van grondsake en landelike ontwikkeling, dat boere die blaam sal dra “vir ’n situasie heel moontlik erger as Zimbabwe” as hulle nie met die regering saamwerk nie, is verregaande.
Só het dr. Theo de Jager, vise-president van Agri SA, gistermiddag in Muldersdrift op ’n grondkonferensie van die Suider-Afrikaanse konfederasie van landbou-organisasies (Sacau) oor Nkwinti se uitlating op ’n eNews-program gesê.
“Boere wat al in 2001 as vrywillige verkopers in grondeise soos dié in Mooketsi (Limpopo) na vore getree het, wag ná nege jaar nog om weer van die minister se departement te hoor.”
“Verlede week het boere uit die Onderberg (in die Mpumalanga-Laeveld) wat hul plase in 1999 aangebied en in 2007 aanbiedinge aanvaar het, meer as sewe uur lank op die provinsiale grondeisekommissaris, me. Thumi Seboka, vir ’n vooraf-bevestigde afspraak gewag.
“Hulle het onverrigter sake teruggekeer, omdat sy glo ‘te moeg was’ om aan hul transaksie aandag te gee,” het de Jager gesê.
Hy het ook gesê Nkwinti se departement se baanrekord is niks om op trots te wees nie.
Die departement se mislukkings lê soos slagvelde oor die land heen.
“Die minister het verlede week met sy begrotingsdebat in die parlement self erken dat meer as 90% van alle grondhervormingsprojekte in duie gestort het. Hy het ook gesê die resultate het almal in Suid-Afrika teleurgestel.
“Byna al die opposisiepartye het in reaksie op sy begrotingstoespraak na die onbevoegdheid van – en die korrupsie – onder van sy amptenare verwys as die vernaamste struikelblok vir grondhervorming,” het De Jager gesê.
“Agri SA het ’n omvattende voorstel aan hom oorhandig oor hoe uit die huidige situasie gekom kan word sonder om onherstelbare skade aan landboubeleggings en voedselsekerheid in die land te berokken.
“In dié voorstel is die minister uitgedaag om ’n deurtastende wetenskaplike ondersoek te doen na die kragte wat grondhervorming laat sloer, grondpryse opjaag, en miljarde rande in sy departement verlore laat gaan,” het De Jager gesê.
“As die minister enige vertroue in sy senior amptenare en adviseurs, of in sy eie beskuldigings het, is daar mos niks wat hom sal laat huiwer om só ’n onafhanklike ondersoek te laat doen nie.”

Johannesburg - Singer Steve Hofmeyr was in his car in the drive through of a KFC when he saw an armed gang rob the take-away restaurant in Kyalami with an AK47 rifle.
“The one guy stood 2m away from me and looked me in the eye. I just told my children to lie down on the back seat,” he told Beeld on Monday.
He, his girlfriend Suné Meyer and his two sons by actress Natasha Sutherland, Sebastian, 8, and Benjamin, 6, had just paid for their order at the KFC drive through at the Kyalami Business Park when Hofmeyr saw six robbers rush into the restaurant.
One of the men had an AK47.
They apparently ordered the KFC employees and customers to lie down on the floor and held guns against their heads.
Midrand police station commissioner superintendent Steven Moodley said apart from the AK47, the other five robbers were armed with pistols.
“I immediately felt sorry for the girls because they were pale with shock,” told Hofmeyr.
When Hofmeyr looked through the window he looked into the eyes of one of the robbers.
Then, during the dead silence that followed and without saying a word or firing a shot, the robbers emptied out the cash registers and the safe.
Chased after robbers
When they jumped into a white Bantam bakkie outside the KFC and sped off, Hofmeyr immediately followed them.
The bakkie had no number plates.
“At a safe distance, I drove behind them for about 3km, hoping to see police along the way. But at some point I realised there was nothing I could do.
After he called the police’s emergency number, he went back home.
“My children still slept rather badly last night.”
Moodley said a case of commercial robbery was being investigated.

Durban - A woman was shot and seriously wounded in a botched hijacking at the intersection of Sydenham and Cowey roads in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal paramedics said on Tuesday.
The woman had stopped at a traffic light when a man approached her window on Monday night.
"The man attempted to smash the window and when he couldn't, he fired a single shot through the glass striking the woman in the back,” said Netcare 911 spokesperson Jeff Wicks.
The man pushed the woman out of the car.
“[He] was unable to start the vehicle and fled on foot. A doctor witnessed the shooting and rushed to the woman's aid,” Wicks said.
Paramedics found the woman in a serious condition. She was taken to hospital.

I’d rather go to jail - Malema
I won’t stop singing kill the boer
I won’t apologise to ghosts like PAC
ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema says he would rather go to jail than stop singing liberation songs like Dubul’ ibhunu (kill the Boer).
“Apartheid took us to prison for singing these songs. If I am to be sent to jail under the new democratic order for singing them – then so be it,” a defiant Malema said yesterday.
On Friday the Johannesburg high court had ruled that the singing of Dubul’ ibhunu was unconstitutional and unlawful”.
In his ruling Judge Leon Halgryn said any person found singing the song could face charges of incitement to murder.
The ruling follows Malema’s recent singing of the song while addressing students at the University of Johannesburg.
Malema said the song was not about killing “any individuals but about fighting the system of apartheid – which still persists even after the 1994 democratic elections”.
He accused the court of continuing to represent the interest of the ruling class.
The application to the high court was brought by Willem Harmse, who insinuated that Malema’s singing of the song in public had increased farm murders.
The Freedom Front Plus has also laid a charge of incitement in the Equality Court against Malema for singing the song. Malema is challenging the charge .
Yesterday Malema also dismissed the ultimatum given by the Pan African Youth Congress (Payco) that he should apologise by today or end up in the mortuary.
“Payco and its mother body (the PAC) are dead organisations. I do not apologise to ghosts,” Malema said.
Payco’s ultimatum came after Malema had accused the PAC of hijacking the March 21 1960 anti-pass campaign. Malema accused PAC leader Robert Sobukwe, who led the march in which 60 people were mowed down by apartheid security forces, of acting irresponsibly by leading so many people to their death.
The ANC had planned to have its protest march on March 31 – but the PAC – whose leaders had broken away from the ANC had organised their campaign on March 21.
PAC president Letlapa Mphahlele said yesterday: “We understand the frustrations of the youth wing. They are dealing with someone who rubbishes everyone. ”
He said the PAC did not have a policy to kill anyone they disagreed with.
Azapo general secretary Strike Thokoane said Malema had gone “crazy and needs to apologise”.
ANC to take FF+ to Equality Court
Johannesburg - The ANC will file an application in the Equality Court to complain about the Freedom Front Plus' "prosecute Malema" campaign, it said on Tuesday.
"[The application will] test whether the publicly announced "prosecute Malema" campaign by the Freedom Front Plus constitutes real hate speech or not," ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe said briefing the media after a meeting of ANC officials on Monday.
"We also remind ourselves that part of our ugly history is that when the right wing groups started an aggressive propaganda about individual members of our movement in the part, such members ended up being assassinated," Mantashe said.
He cited examples such as the Pepco Three and late Chris Hani.
Threats against Malema
"We are hoping that there is no attempt to create such an environment around the young man, Malema, irrespective of the irritation we may be having with him."
Mantashe also expressed concern about the Pan African Congress Youth saying that Malema will be found either in a hospital or a mortuary.
The PAC youth made the comment after Malema insisted that the Sharpeville protest in 1960 against pass laws was organised by the ANC and not the PAC.
Mantashe said it was a fact of history that the PAC did indeed organise the Sharpeville and Langa protests.
However at the time when the comments were made the ANC declined to comment on its position.
"The reality is ...the 21st of March 1960...was a PAC campaign.
"It is a fact of history...there is no need to dilly dally about that," Mantashe said.
He said it was not the ANC's responsibility to talk about other political parties and that the party was not the spokesperson for the PAC.
He argued that the PAC youth wing's comments against Malema were not just hate speech but a "public declaration of the intention to kill".

IT seems that no day can pass without the press being full of attacks on the ANC’s Youth League leader. Although we should perhaps be pleased to have something to liven up our daily reading, I am beginning to feel sorry for our noble, misunderstood Comrade Julius. After all, how refreshing it is to experience a top politician not only giving honest answers and opinions on any subject but also using language that everyone can understand and not just using correct “polit-speak” that is capable of any number of interpretations.
We should ask ourselves how many bright young men would be prepared to devote their lives to politics and find their personal lives and daily doings so exposed to public scrutiny? How much more rewarding for them to use their political connections solely in pursuit of business interests, when earning money would be admired, not criticised. Comrade Julius has obviously set his heart on making his way to the top echelons of the ANC and not merely pursuing monetary gain. If those contracts in Limpopo had not been awarded to Comrade Julius’s firms (or ex-firms), they would surely have gone to some other ANC-connected enterprises for the same amount, so why all the outcry? It isn’t so different to supporting your favourite charity and it obviously solved a problem for Comrade Julius. Can’t we all be just a little pragmatic, because all he was trying to do was to ensure his political independence?
Comrade Julius had recognised that the problem with making a career in politics is that if you depend on the party for your income, you always have to toe the party line. The only way to avoid this, and be able to say what you really think, is to be financially independent. That was Winston Churchill’s great advantage – he was free to say what he thought was right for the country and not just toe the party line as a pacifist when Britain should have been re-arming to fight Hitler. Also, for what it is worth, Churchill didn’t have a formal education either but became one of the world’s greatest statesmen.
In the developed world today politicians cannot be trusted because their policies are solely based on what they think they have to say to win the next election. ANC politicians don’t have to be so sly because the majority of the electorate will always vote for them, whatever they say or do or, at least in the words of one of their leaders, until Jesus Christ returns to earth, which seems like being a long time. However, by being financially independent, Comrade Julius can enjoy the luxury of saying exactly what he thinks, whether his party agrees or not.
He is obviously right to want to nationalise the mines, as this is just the same as ensuring that stolen goods are returned to the rightful owners. It will also ensure that the mines are run more efficiently, using the same systems the ANC has introduced to local government to improve service delivery. I am a little surprised that he also seems to want to nationalise the banks, as I didn’t think they had been stolen from anyone, but perhaps I didn’t pay enough attention in my history lessons and Absa Bank was originally founded by Shaka.
I am disappointed that he doesn’t want the legal profession nationalised. The best example of the sorry state of this profession is the fact that his own lawyer apparently forgot to carry out Comrade Julius’s instructions to resign his various directorships. One might perhaps argue as to whether or not the minerals in the ground can be privately owned, but there can be no doubt whatever that the laws of the country were created by Parliament and therefore belong to all of us. It cannot be right that lawyers make a fortune from something in public ownership. The state has now found effective ways of preventing unnecessary criminal cases, like rape or corruption charges, getting to court and wasting public money, but the lawyers are still making a fortune out of civil cases, some of which have to be defended by our hard-working ministers and top ANC officials, thus wasting their valuable time and personal money.
I am told on good authority that Comrade Julius also had the idea of nationalising Parliament to get rid of all those unnecessary and irritating opposition MPs, but somebody explained to him that Parliament already belongs to all of us and, despite all those boring debates, it anyway always ends up doing what the ANC wants.
All that rubbish about the expensive gifts should also be put into perspective. First, it would be ungracious to refuse gifts from well-wishers and Comrade Julius is anything but ungracious. He needs a reliable watch to be punctual for his many meetings and, as any South African knows, we all need more than one car because you can never be certain of finding your car where you park it. Owning more than one house is just a sign of good planning – when Comrade Julius has made it to the top of the ANC he will also have to demonstrate his faithfulness to African tradition by having numerous wives, just like our honourable President, so it is wise to start accumulating houses now and save the taxpayer money later.
The media outcry about Comrade Julius submitting no tax returns simply shows the ignorance of the critics – how can anyone coming from a poor background know anything about submitting tax returns. Although our beloved Comrade may now be earning good money, judging by the many photos I have seen of him handing over large cheques to needy recipients, it seems he is giving it all away, so there is probably nothing left to tax anyway. Of course, the media try to rubbish all this good work by claiming that it is government money he is handing over.
Comrade Julius also doesn’t get the praise he deserves for being a keen follower of African tradition. He has shown this in his reluctance to criticise the president in any way because elders must always be respected. I am surprised this doesn’t seem to apply to those of a different skin colour, or perhaps Comrade Julius has simply misjudged the age of Helen Zille and Patricia de Lille.
In South Africa we don’t know too much about snow, but Comrade Julius should learn something about snowballs. There are some similarities between a snowball and the ego of a politician who rises quickly through the ranks. If one rolls a small snowball down a steep slope of fresh snow it soon begins to accelerate by itself, growing quickly in size at the same time until it is very strong and mighty. However, when it eventually reaches the bottom of the hill it either hits a hard object and is completely demolished, or it comes slowly to a stop and gradually melts into nothingness in the spring sun.
So Comrade Julius, don’t let all that criticism douse your enthusiasm. Beware of the snowball and don’t be too disappointed if you don’t become another Churchill.

When SAPS or the neighbourhood watch drive past they crouch down on the ground to make it look like a full black rubbish bag.
SAPS etc. ignore the "black bags" & drive past.The criminals then either wait for the home owner to come home -- to hijack them or proceed to break into the house.
Please be aware & beware of "moving" black bags!!! -- particularly on rubbish removal days.
The neighbourhood watch member who noticed this wouldn't have known any different if one of the bags hadn't moved & if he wasn't vigilant.

Johannesburg - The High Court bid to ban the song with the words "shoot the Boer" was a farce, the ANC said on Tuesday.
