August 30 2008 at 09:37AMBy Shaun SmillieA couple are fighting for their lives in hospital after being mown down in a hail of bullets in a police reaction that went horribly wrong.The cops, responding to an emergency call about armed robbers in the couple's house in Meyersdal, Alberton, opened fire on the vehicle in which the husband and wife were travelling. The couple, who are in their 40s, were in the intensive care unit of Alberton's Union Hospital last night.The robbers got away, but not before gang-raping the couple's daughter.On Friday, the parents' bullet-riddled Land Cruiser stood in their driveway.They were shot on Thursday evening after they had reversed at speed out of the driveway of their house and failed to stop when challenged by police.Officers armed with automatic assault rifles opened fire.The shooting occurred about two hours after five robbers had broken into the double-storey house.According to police spokesperson Superintendent Eugene Opperman, the robbers had entered the house at about 9pm. They tied up the son, who was alone, and began ransacking the home, loading goods into the family's black Toyota RunX.When the daughter arrived home, the robbers overpowered her, tied her up and began raping her.Opperman said the parents then drove into the driveway, returning from a holiday. Police said shots were fired at the couple from the garage."Someone in the house was able to press a panic button," said Opperman.When the security company phoned, they could hear a woman screaming and were told that a house robbery was in progress. They notified the police."Police were in the vicinity and were able to respond quickly. They came with their lights flashing and in totally marked cars," explained Opperman.As police officers approached the house, they were fired at from inside, he said. They returned fire.As the police approached the house, said Opperman, the couple's white Land Cruiser came reversing from the garage at high speed, its headlights off.The 4x4 then sped down Izak de Villiers Street towards other police officers. Opperman said the officers had to dive for cover to avoid the speeding car.A police officer at the house on Friday said the Land Cruiser had been packed with luggage, which probably suggested to the responding police officers that these were the robbers with stolen goods.A resident, who lives just metres from where the incident occurred, heard what happened next."Somebody said 'Stop, police', then shooting, tat tat tat tat," said the man, who did not want to be identified.The Land Cruiser finally came to a halt about 200 metres from the house."Inside the car, a male voice said 'Are you police or metro?'. A lady was screaming inside the car. Then someone must have fallen on the steering wheel, because [the hooter] went on for 15 minutes," said the witness.A policeman, processing the crime scene yesterday, said the car had been hit 28 times. The windscreen had nine bullet holes in it and both the driver and passenger side doors were hit. The tyres were shot out.Netcare 911 paramedics arrived quickly and stabilised both patients at the scene."The paramedic told me that both had been hit more than once," said Netcare 911 spokesperson Nick Dollman.Police then entered the house but found that the robbers had jumped the back wall and disappeared into the veld.Hospital spokesperson Laurinda Xavier said the couple were in a stable but critical condition.Police recovered a stolen 9mm pistol, a large knife and some clothing believed to have belonged to the suspects.Opperman said Meyersdal had become a prime target for house robbers in recent times and, ironically, the police's quick reaction time on Thursday night was in part a result of heightened awareness.The Independent Complaints Directorate will investigate the shooting.This article was originally published on page 1 of The Star on August 30, 2008Source:IOLhttp://www.int.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=13&art_id=vn20080830091724252C382766
Egpaar per abuis ernstig gewond. Die polisie ondersoek gister die Kotzés se motor wat vol gate geskiet is. Lees die berig. Foto: Alan MurdochMev. Millie Kotzé, haar man, Jan, en hul seun, Stephan.Aug 29 2008 09:52:25:883PM - (SA)Gloria Edwards’n Egpaar van die Oos-Rand veg om hul lewe nadat hulle per ongeluk deur die polisie geskiet is tydens ’n mislukte huisrooftog in Meyersdal, Alberton.Mnr. Jan Kotzé (48) en sy vrou, Millie (50), eienaars van die onderneming Manhattan Ice Tea, is gewond terwyl hul seun, Stephan (21), en dogter, Janine (30), eergisteraand ure lank deur vyf rowers in hul huis in Izak de Villiersstraat aangehou is.Stephan het gister vertel hoe hy en sy suster aangehou is voordat die polisie op sy ouers losgebrand het. “Ons het net heeltyd hardop gebid en toe in tale met God gepraat . . . ”Mnr. Josie Raath (45), uitvoerende regisseur van Radiokansel en Millie se broer, het gesê sy suster en swaer het net by die huis gekom van ’n vakansie toe die voorval gebeur het.“Toe hulle by die huis intrek, het die rowers van die balkon af op hulle begin skiet. Hulle het toe uitgejaag om weg te kom en reg in die vuurlinie van die polisie, wat hulle seker vir die rowers misgis het, beland. Daar is van albei kante af op hul Land Cruiser losgebrand. Ek het 43 koeëlgate in dié motor getel.”Volgens Raath is sy suster vyf keer in die maag en sy swaer tien keer in die bolyf getref.Albei is na die Unie-hospitaal geneem, waar hulle in die hoësorgeenheid behandel word.’n Bewoë Stephan het gesê hy is omstreeks 20:00 in die gesin se huis oorrompel. “Ek was besig om vir my vlieënierslisensie te swot toe een van hulle ’n pistool teen my kop druk. Hy het my met ’n spanner geslaan, my hande en voete vasgebind en na ’n kamer gesleep. Hulle wou juwele en geld hê.”Janine het toe glo by die huis aangekom en is deur die rowers oorval en vasgebind.Omstreeks 23:00 het hul ouers by die huis aangekom en het die skietgeveg uitgebreek.Stephan het sy suster op die balkon gevind waar sy vasgebind gelê het. “Ek het probeer om die toue om haar los te byt totdat iemand ons kom help het.”Die rowers, wat Stephan se RunX-motor met die gesin se juwele, wapens, skootrekenaars, kluise en ander items volgepak het, het met leë hande gevlug.Tussen meer as 100 patroondoppies wat gister die straat voor die Kotzés se huis vol gelê het, het bure vertel hoe hulle nou vir hul lewens vrees.Mnr. Coenie Strydom, ’n buurman, het beweer dat dié voorval die agtste in dieselfde straat die afgelope jaar is.Die Kotzés se ander dogter, mev. Adelle Sinden (25), het gister die polisie geblameer dat haar ouers om hul lewe veg.“Hulle kon waarskuwingskote geskiet het. Dit was nie nodig om die motor flenters te skiet nie.”Supt. Eugene Opperman, provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, het egter gesê die voorval word as ’n ongeluk beskou.Niemand is nog in hegtenis geneem nie.Oorsprong:Beeldhttp://www.news24.com/Beeld/Suid-Afrika/0,,3-975_2385135,00.html
30/08/2008 08:03 - (SA)Johannesburg - A couple returning home from a holiday was accidentally shot and wounded by police in Alberton, Gauteng police said on Friday.Superintendent Eugene Opperman said the couple walked into a robbery at their Meyersdal home on Thursday night about 23:00.At the time of their arrival, five armed men had tied up their son and took turns to rape their daughter.The couple saw that something was wrong in their garage.They found the car loaded with appliances, and while still in the garage the robbers opened fire on them, Opperman said.During the commotion someone pressed the panic button, a security company phoned the house, heard a woman screaming and alerted the police.Two groups of police officers went to the scene. On arrival the first group was shot at, and while taking cover, a car drove at high speed from the garage towards the second group of police officers.

His sister, also in her 20s, walked in on the robbery and was also tied up and gang-raped.Police recovered a stolen 9mm pistol, clothes belonging to the suspects and some of the goods stolen from the house.The robbers scaled the wall, fled into a nearby koppie and disappeared, he said.No arrest had been made.Source:News24http://www.news24.com/News24/South_Africa/News/0,,2-7-1442_2385025,00.html
'n Onbekende man vertroos die ouer dogter van mev. Marge Wilson op die toneel waar haar ma doodgeskiet en haar pa, mnr. Dave Wilson, ernstig gewond is. Dié familielede wou hulself nie identifiseer nie. Foto: Samantha SimonsAug 29 2008 09:52:37:103PM - (SA)Amanda Roestoffamanda.roestoff@beeld.com‘Ek is geskiet en Marge is dood!”So het ’n gewonde mnr. Dave Wilson (57), hoof van die geologie-afdeling van die mynmaatskappy De Beers, gisteroggend glo op sy selfoon aan sy swaer gesê nadat rowers met 9 mm-pistole op hom en sy vrou, Marge (53), in hul huis in Drakenslaan, Quellerina aan die Wes-Rand, geskiet het.Mnr. Michael Brett, dieswaer, het gister gesê sy suster het gisteroggend omstreeks 07:30 waarskynlik “uit roetine” die veiligheidshek by die huis se ingangsportaal oopgemaak en na die dubbelmotorhuis ge-stap om die elektriese hek vir die huiswerker oop te maak.Insp. Hein van Heerden, polisiewoordvoerder, het gesê hulle vermoed die vier rowers het toe saam met die huiswerker die perseel binnegestap.“Hulle moes haar (Marge) binne oorval het, want albei is in die voorkamer geskiet,” het Brett gesê.Een van die koeëls het mev. Wilson – steeds in haar blou nagklere – in die linkerbors getref en is by haar rug uit voordat dit teen ’n muur in die voorportaal vasgeslaan het.Sy het inmekaargesak en is op die toneel dood.Mnr. Wilson is regs in die bors, naby sy bo-arm, getref.’n Buurman (47) wat nie sy naam wou noem nie, het gesê hy was in sy slaapkamer besig om aan te trek toe hy twee skote, gevolg deur ’n gil, gehoor het. Hy het ’n leer gebruik en oor die hoë muur geloer, waar hy ’n man in ’n blou oorpak saam met die huiswerker by die huis sien uitstap het. Hy het later gesien dat mnr. Wilson ook bebloed uit die huis kom en het met hom gepraat.Die vier rowers en die vrou (35) is gesien waar hulle in ’n koperkleurige Mercedes-Benz (HYF 252 GP) geklim en weggery het. Mnr. Okkie Nel, bestuurder van die veiligheidsmaatskappy Best Secure, het op die toneel bevestig dat ’n veiligheidswag (37) van dié maatskappy die wegkommotor ingedwing en ontvoer is.Die wag is later in Maraisburg langs die N1-hoofweg afgelaai, maar die huiswerker is steeds soek.Mnr. Wilson is tans in ’n ernstige maar stabiele toestand in die Flora-kliniek.Mnr. Bruno Ragghianti, voorsitter van die Florida-polisiekantoor se gemeenskapspolisiëringsforum (GPF), het gesê slegs drie misdaadvoorvalle het die afgelope vyf maande in dié gebied voorgekom.“Die gebied was ’n groot brandpunt, maar het deur verbeterde veiligheidsmaatreëls (kameras en bykomende veiligheidswagte in die gebied) daarin geslaag om misdaad te minimaliseer,” het Ragghianti gesê.“Die regering sal daadwerklik iets moet doen om wetgewing só aan te pas dat inwoners en die polisie beskerm word. Dié misdaad is soos ’n kanker,” sê Ragghianti.Die polisie het vasgestel dat die huiswerker die ontvoerde wag glo vroeër gevra het hoekom hy “skielik ander skofte” werk.Haar moontlike betrokkenheid in die misdaad word ondersoek. Beeld verneem dat sy van Zimbabwe is. Die polisie het haar naam nog nie bekend gemaak nie.Net ’n bos huissleutels met ’n afstandbeheertoestel word vermis.Familielede het mekaar op die toneel ondersteun.Die egpaar se twee jonger kinders, Karen en Rodrick, albei in hul twintigs, sal vermoedelik vandag van Engeland hier aankom.Enigiemand met inligting wat die polisie kan help, kan supt.

Volgens haar het sy om 07:45 die kerk oopgesluit.“Somtyds is Dale al wakker as ek inkom, maar daardie dag was die deur nog gesluit.“Ek het opgemerk die lessenaar se laaie staan oop en toe maak ek dit toe. Dit is toe dat my man geskreeu het daar is ingebreek,” het sy gesê.Sy het daarna na Roberts se kamer gehardloop en teen die deur geklop. “Ek het toe die deur oopgemaak en toe sien ek hom daar langs sy bed buk.“Ek het net ’n hand met bloed gesien. Ek kon nie om hulp roep nie en het net bly sê: ‘Nee, nee, nee’,” het sy vertel.Mnr. Hatting het gesê Roberts het in die kerk geslaap om die gebou op te pas nadat daar ’n paar jaar gelede ook ’n inbraak by die kerk was. “Toe ek aan hom voel, was hy klaar koud.

John Morse chronicles South Africa's slide to agonyThe horrors of the 'New South Africa' are perhaps best encapsulated in the grudgingly disclosed facts concerning both the scale and the pattern of rape in the country. Whilst South Africa's ANC rulers bask in the insane adulation of the world's dominant 'liberal' establishment and its contrived 'international opinion', South Africa's women, of all races, endure a reign of criminal terror, violence and cruelty unequalled anywhere else - incidentally exposing yet again the self-contradictory nonsense of liberalism, which simultaneously demands the dethronement of the white race and its values and the protection of women's rights (something which in fact only Whites have properly understood and guaranteed).South Africa is now being styled, not without good reason, the "rape capital of the world'. It is so designated in an article by David Jones in the Daily Mail of Saturday, November 13th 1999. This article backs up the observations of Jones' colleague Ross Benson on the current state of that unhappy land two weeks before in the same paper, which I looked at in last month's Spearhead. It is here, if anywhere, in the matter of rape, that key issues of censorship, racial motivation in the incidence of crime, and what amounts to the ethnic cleansing of the country's white population are most dramatically crystallised and exposed.Brutal assaultJones sets forth the raw facts of South Africa's now endemic problem of rape with uncompromising directness. He describes the brutal assault of a white woman, Mrs. Ame Brown, in her Johannesburg home, in the absence of her husband, who was working a night shift. Mrs. Brown's two young sons were bound at the wrists and forced at gunpoint to watch by the four-strong black gang which had broken into their flat as their mother was violated in turn by each of the gang members. Says Jones: "As the first man made way for the second, he spat out the hate-filled words Ame, an Afrikaner, will never forget: "For years you Boers always took from us. Now we're taking from you."In fact, Ame Brown worked as a care assistant looking after mainly black children at a Johannesburg home for youngsters. But her work on behalf of such an underprivileged, have-not section of the population obviously cut no ice with her assailants. Her race was all that mattered as far as they were concerned. "Afterwards," continues Jones..."... the attackers remained in the family's home, a second-floor apartment, for almost two hours before brazenly carrying away everything they could find - from furniture right down to the boys' favourite Dinky toys - through the front door and into a waiting car."The attack had what Jones describes as "its desired effect." The Browns left the city, with its "gratuitously violent gangs and simmering undercurrent of residual racial resentment." But their move to a rural location did not help them escape their nightmares. Their having been, in effect, thus 'ethnically cleansed' from Johannesburg, the family's wounds, both psychological and physical, persisted and festered.The youngest son, nine-year-old Justin, gave vent to what must have been suppressed rage of staggering ferocity and bitterness in one so young. In an attack on what was apparently the closest friend he had in his new home, a black boy of his own age, he tied the latter to a tree with his shoelaces, in the same way as he had been bound by his mother's rapists back in Johannesburg and using exactly the same type of knots. He then beat the boy to pulp with a length of plastic hose.Questioned by his parents, Justin, whom Jones describes as a "usually affable and impeccably mannered" little lad, replied, according to his mother, that "black people had come into our home and done horrible things to us, so why shouldn't he do the same to them?"Meanwhile, in the aftermath of her own savage attack, Ame Brown herself has been diagnosed as HIV-positive.So much for the peace, equality and harmony that the abdication of South Africa's Whites was supposed to inaugurate, and the 'reconciliation' (a weasel word that we shall be looking at later in its South African context) which we are endlessly assured Nelson Mandela was bringing about. The end of apartheid and European rule - as was widely predicted by any observer with half an ounce of sense decades before - seems only to have brought on a new, indeed an unparalleled - era of intensifying racial vendettas. This incident, which is far from isolated, perhaps best epitomises the country's reality.Effort to hide the truthCompleting the picture, Jones refers to the censorship which seems to constitute the principal response of the new rulers to the situation:-"In the new South Africa, where the very mention of the words colour and race is now deeply taboo, I will no doubt be pilloried for relating this story, just as my colleague Ross Benson was vilified by sections of the press here two weeks ago for his painfully accurate article about the demise of post-apartheid South Africa."Instead of rounding on 'racist' outsiders and attempting to draw a veil over the underlying causes of the rape epidemic sweeping through this country with the speed and devastation of a veldt fire, the media and the ANC government would be better advised to address the facts."Rape in South Africa has now attained such proportions, says Jones, that..."... thousands of women are expected to sign up for the first rape insurance policy. For £1.10 a month, it entitles victims to free anti-AIDS drugs, the morning-after pill, trauma counselling, alternative therapies and a full range of medical tests."In discussing the inadequacy of official measures to counter the rape onslaught, Jones focuses not just on the scale of what is happening but on the sheer vicious sadism of the attacks to which South Africa's female population is being subjected. With grim drama, he comments:-"In South Africa today, we are rarely just talking about 'straightforward' rape, if that is not too trite and unfeeling a phrase, but increasingly brutal and despicable rape."Rape by bottles and sticks and knives; rape by gangs who behave like packs of wild animals, biting and gouging their victims, with the intention of disfiguring them physically as well as mentally."He details a few instances:-"Among the many harrowing cases I uncovered here, one black woman had her lips scorched off with a red-hot iron after her attack; another (black) woman had been deeply bitten all over her face and body."A young (white) bank clerk was pushed into a clay-filled building-site pit and raped just as she arrived for work in busy Central Johannesburg. Both her legs were broken, and afterwards her demented attacker abused her horribly with fistfuls of clay."Noeleen Naude, a 23-year-old Afrikaner, was caddying for her boyfriend and his father on a suburban golf course one warm Sunday afternoon when two black men, one with a gun, sprang out from behind a small hillock halfway round the course."After robbing the golfing party of their clubs and jewellery, the men took Noeleen away and raped her in turn, telling her: 'We are black men and you are a white woman. We can do exactly as we want.'"In the latter case, the culprits were caught and jailed for 30 years each. But this is unlikely to act as much of a deterrent. Despite such attacks as those on Miss Naude being "so commonplace they rarely rate more than a few lines in local newspapers," only about one rapist in 20 risks going to prison, given present conviction rates, in contrast to three out of four in Britain, where we have long considered the security of our own womenfolk to be far from satisfactory.A part of this, says Jones, is "thanks to appallingly shoddy detective work by male-chauvinist (sic), ill-trained, insensitive and under-manned police forces (some of whom have raped the victims they were interviewing)." Jones does not venture any comment on how far this state of affairs is due to the ravages of 'affirmative-action' recruiting in order to achieve the racial make-over of South Africa's police which is ANC policy, nor how far the "inefficiency of the prosecution service," which he also blames for the five per cent conviction rate, may be due to the same factor. Perhaps this may be assumed. But Jones does paint an appalling picture of official indifference - and worse.Records ignore race factorSpeaking of rape and other crimes, Jones, rather absurdly, describes it as "in some ways laudable" that official police report forms no longer detail the race of criminals and their victims, as they used to under apartheid, "given that reconciliation is the name of the game in modern South Africa." Apart from the fact that, in elementary common sense, there is, and can be, no 'reconciliation' as most people would understand it, where members of one group are deliberately committing violent crimes against members of another on an escalating scale, how can any such outbreak even be understood, let alone controlled, without an accurate 'epidemiology' of such crime? In the circumstances of South Africa, how can there be such a scientific criminology without accurate recording and analysis of the race factor?In the mouths of the ANC régime and its supporters, the term 'reconciliation' would appear to have a special meaning. It seems to indicate yet another one-way street in which Whites give and non-Whites take, the former accepting whatever the latter dish out without protest or resistance. 'Reconciliation' appears to mean simply that South Africa's Whites are expected passively to 'reconcile' themselves to whatever conditions non-Whites choose to impose on them.This nonsense aside, Jones does manage to get something of substance out of the government's 'Secretariat for Safety and Security'. Whilst the majority of rape victims are black women - as is to be expected in a population in which a mere 14 per cent are white - white women are over-represented. An official of the Secretariat commented: "There is a higher percentage of white women raped than their share of the population."Adds Jones: "This might, or might not, explain why the Mbeki government no longer requires the race section of the crime report forms to be completed."This is of a piece with the observation, made in some sections of the media, that South Africa's Whites in general have been disproportionately on the receiving end of the tidal wave of violent crime. For instance, of all occupational groups, it is reckoned that white farmers are most at risk of being murdered. Their casualties have been put in the hundreds since the demise of white rule. Murder in the countryside has gone hand in hand with large-scale encroachment of squatters on the country's farms, and an evident disposition to drive white folk from the land which they and their ancestors first brought under the plough and, over many generations, made fertile and productive.Ethnic cleansingRape and murder are the crimes normally associated with ethnic cleansing, and most quintessentially representative of it in most people's minds. Judging by their combination with racial motivation in South Africa, there are few other places on earth suffering such a plague of this evil.In the Balkans, the occurrence of ethnic cleansing was held to justify prodigiously expensive international military intervention - at least where Serbs and non-Moslems were held to be guilty of it. But in South Africa it is alive, well and internationally ignored. But here, of course, the victims are of culturally European, Christian background - a no-no in the New World Order to which South Africa has now been annexed.Whites are being driven from pillar to post, and finally, in many cases, out of their land of birth altogether, by a combination of criminal, not to say terrorist, violence and 'affirmative action designed to strip them of jobs, incomes and status - only the racial criterion applying for purposes of recruitment and promotion, regardless of character or competence.So why the lack of international indignation, let alone action, that we have seen against the Serbs? The truth is that our ruling liberal establishment, dominant now throughout the West and hubristically inclined to impose its imperium on the entire globe, has made a huge emotional and political investment in the new multiracial South Africa. This has lasted two generations, almost since the end of the Second World War. The promoters of the process cannot allow it to be thought that, now they have got their way, there can be anything wrong with the outcome.Facts must not be allowed to interfere with ideology. No matter what actually happens, the typically lunatic liberal delusion of 'multiracial democracy' in South Africa must at all costs be preserved inviolate, and maintained in its status as one of the self-justifying dogmas of our time.Challenge to globalistsNotwithstanding occasional exposures like those of Messrs. Benson and Jones, there is today a virtual conspiracy of silence in protection of the new order in South Africa. This is consistent with the hysterical past attacks on the old order there. South Africa always represented a special challenge to the protagonists of liberal globalism, which envisaged as its cornerstone the merging of all racial and ethnic groups - with Whites as the main sacrificial victims - into a homogenised ethnic stew.Especially after the victory of the Afrikaner Nationalists, with their policy of white exclusiveness and dominance, in South Africa's 1948 general election, that country became, in liberal eyes, an unseemly warp in the pattern that international liberaldom had by now marked out for the future. More than that, Nationalist South Africa was a danger.Partly this was because it was ruled by some of the most vigorous of the white peoples - Boer, Briton, German and other, people well able, other things being equal, to hold their own in a battle for their independence from the new liberal imperium. Partly it was due to South Africa's immense mineral wealth, which made it difficult for economic pressure to be put upon her. Last but not least, the country's new government was developing a racial programme which hinted at an alternative vision of world order, and one that could catch on elsewhere.It was certainly the hope of South Africa's greatest post-war leader, Dr. Hendrik Verwoerd, that this would be so. He frequently commented on the need for the countries of the West to climb out of their liberal 'sick-bed', in which he made it plain that, if he had anything to do with it, South Africa would never join them.Verwoerd argued for apartheid - or 'separate development' - with great moral fervour. Whilst his priority was his own Afrikaner people, whom he saw as the standard-bearers of his country's European identity, at the root of his outlook was the perception that South Africa's multifarious peoples could only live in harmony if they lived apart. In view of what is happening now, who can say that he was wrong?Far from wishing to oppress the non-white peoples - whose plurality apartheid, in his understanding of it, fully recognised - Verwoerd aimed to set up arrangements whereby each of them could be provided with a separate territory (a homeland or 'Bantustan') within which it could live as it saw fit and develop at the pace it preferred. The project foresaw ethnic self-determination, leading eventually to independent statehood, in a way that would liberate South Africa's Blacks as far as possible from direct political domination by the country's Whites, albeit within an overall framework of white leadership - bearing in mind that Whites were the strongest group and most of South Africa's land surface would remain theirs - where internal peace would be facilitated by the fact that the possibility for the different racial groups to tread on each other's toes would be minimised. At the end of it, whatever limitations the scheme might have laboured under, South African Blacks could have looked forward to ethnic sovereignty at least as substantial as that of most of 'independent' sub-Saharan Black Africa, and states probably more viable economically, whilst possibly avoiding the kind of tribal domination that prevailed elsewhere.The word never became flesh. Verwoerd was assassinated, and his successors (some of whom may have been implicated in his murder) revamped the National Party, abandoned much of its vision, and ended up appeasing and seeking
