A Year from HELL! The Truth about South Africa… | Sunette Bridges
Home Page News Articles Wall of Remembrance Blog Music Store About me Contact Us May 3, 2013 Posted by Sunette Bridges Articles	31
The 2011 Census determined that there were only 4.3 million White People left in South Africa. We are a minority group that is getting absolutely NO help from the Government or the International Community. Almost 800 000 of our people are currently living in Squatter Camps. That is 18% of our population. Our people are being attacked, tortured, raped, maimed, murdered and impoverished on a daily basis. We have laws in the country preventing whites from finding jobs. We have laws that determine that businesses can’t donate money to charities assisting White people. Our farms are being taken in a Government sanctioned land grab, our statues are being removed, our monuments neglected, our language sidelined and the names of our cities and streets are changed. All of this in an effort to eradicate our culture, our history and our heritage. But on top of all of this, our people are being MURDERED! …and our government calls it “Normal Crime” and our President merrily sings “Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer!” “…bring me my machine gun! Let’s shoot them with a cannon!”
*2 May 2012: Centurion, Gauteng: Wouter de Bruyn (46) was shot dead in his driveway, in front of his wife, during an attempted highjacking.
*7 October 2012: Klersdorp, Northwest: 96-year-old Elizabeth Louw and her white male gardener, Gert Marks, were strangled to death in her home on a Saturday morning. A friend came across their bodies. Elizabeth was hogtied with shoe laces.

Next BLOODY South Africa! …Part 2	31 Comments Log in to Reply Gerrie Venter May 3, 2013 Ek lees tans ‘n boek van AJ Boeseken by name “Van Oorloe en Vrede” wat die tyd van 1795 tot 1910 dek. Ek het pas sy boek oor die tydperk van 1652 tot 1795 gelees. Dit is baie objektief geskryf en ek sal almal wat dit feil het vir hul land en volk aanbeveel om die boeke te lees. Inteendeel ek sou graag dit baie hard op u hart druk om dit te lees. Dit is verkrygbaar by Tafelberg Uitgewers. Ek het dit by die Biblioteek raakgeloop. Daar is ook baie kaarte en tekeninge en fotos van geskiedkundige figure van daardie tyd. As u die boeke lees sal u vind dat ‘n reaksie aanleiding gegee het tot ‘n teenreaksie. As die Xhosa oor die grens gekom en die boere vermoor en hulle vee weggevoer het, is ‘n Kommando op die been gebring wat teruggeslaan het. Dis ‘n reg om jou persoon, familie, besittings sowel as jou nasie se persone en eiendom te verdedig. en as dit uitgewis word, het jy die reg om op te tree. Lees die boeke en leer. Ek rus my saak.
Log in to Reply thyrique June 12, 2013 How soon we forget…… Ye true Israelites need to repent and turn back to the God of your forefathers and he will heal your land. To do otherwise is nothing less than self genocide because Satan seeks to destroy to the offspring of the lamb with his people…. the people of the earth. This is happening all over the world but it’s much more dire in SA. Remember the “Day of the Vow” and the supernatural forces that allowed 470 Afrikaners to defeat 15,000 zulus – you can’t do that with muzzle loading rifles. My great great grandfather knew a Boer that fought in that battle and the zulus they captured said it wasn’t the wagon train defense that caused them so much trouble but the flying warriors coming from the sky.

I’m sorry for the South Africans who can’t see this very real threat and I’m sorry for the South Africans who do not have the means to flee.
Log in to Reply Amanda1971 May 4, 2013 Sunette what a well written and informative article. I was crying at the end seeing all these cruel and senseless murders. I want to help you to let the world know what really is going on in this country!
Log in to Reply Tim 'n Douwlene Burdett May 5, 2013 I am horrified and so glad I do not live in SA any more, only wish I could get my family out and all those left behind. I have just sent this link to Julia Guillard Log in to Reply Chris Potgieter May 5, 2013 Clearly a message is being sent to rid the country of people who are not African. Telling an uncaring world about our plight will not change our future as genocide has not been halted anywhere. It is time to laager up again and defend our own areas. We have to patrol our streets and join our local neighbourhood watch organizations now or see our grandchildren only on Skype.
This is our neighbourhood watch’s link. Read the stories of how our neighbours are making a difference in our community.
Log in to Reply Rob May 5, 2013 This list is by all means not complete. My son 39 was shot in the heart with a 9mm at close range on the 7th February 2013 in Port Elizabeth. The 3 black “men” ran away with nathing after they shot him.
Log in to Reply Sunette Bridges Author May 6, 2013 Hallo Rob! I am terribly sorry to hear about this tragedy! Could you please provide me with the detail and let me know if there was anything in the media so I can find a link to the article? It is very hard to keep up with all of this as our media is not reporting on these cases. Kind Regards
Log in to Reply Rob May 7, 2013 Hi Sunette baie dankie vir dit wat jy doen. Is daar enigiets wat ek en my familie kan doen om jou hiermee te ondersteun? Ons is al oud en geen land wil ons meer he nie. Ons moet in Suid-Afrika bly of ons wil of nie!!! Hierdie land is een van die mooiste in die wereld maar word ontsier deur misdaad en die ANC regering doen absoluut niks om dit reg te stel nie. My seun is koelbloedig vermoor op 7/2/2013, die polisie vind geen leidrade nie en het aangevra vanaf Bisho( Oos Kaap regering) vir n beloning van R25,000. Ditis vandag 3 maande na sy dood en niemand weet of die beloning ooit deur die regering toegestaan sal word nie. Waar is die boewe nou na 3 maande? Gaan hulle wag vir die regering om wakker te word? Ons land MOET die doodstraf terug bring en beter polis amptenare in diens neem.
Log in to Reply Sunette Bridges Author May 7, 2013 Ai Rob! BAIE dankie vir die terugvoer en die aanbod om te help! Ek wens ek kon vir jou ‘n klinklare antwoord gee oor wat om te doen, maar meeste van die tyd weet ek self nie… Ek’t geen idee hoe ons hierdie gety gaan draai of stop nie. Ek is so jammer vir jul hartseer…
Baie dankie vir die inligting! Ek is jammer om jou verder hiermee te bemoei, maar kan jy vir my jou seun se naam gee asseblief… LIefde
Rob May 11, 2013 Hi Sunette. My seun se naam is Robbie. Hy was maar net 39 toe die swart gemors hom op n half meter afstand in sy hart geskiet het. Ons het hom baie leif gehad. Hy was n goeie seun.
Liefde groete en dankie vir wat jy doen.

Log in to Reply Harz May 6, 2013 Sunette, ek wil jou bedank dat jy so rekord hou. Dit is belangrik, want ons mag nie vergeet nie. Dit mag nooit soos ´n normale toestand raak in S.A. Ek is in die buiteland, maar ek hou my land soos ´n valk dop en ek vertel elke oor wat bereid is om te luister wat aangaan. Die Kommuniste het S.A. a.g.v. apartheid ordentlik deur die modder getrek en mense glo my nie altyd wanneer ek vertel van die massas van mense wat vermoor word in ons land, maar as elke Suid Afrikaner in die buiteland aanhou vertel, sal die buitelanders (veral in Europa) wel dit begin glo. Dit is belangrik. Net so kan druk van buite op die ANC opgebou word. Ons mense is verspreid, maar as ons in al die vreemde lande begin vertel en aanhou sal dit wel ´n effek bring…ek hoop net die effek is nie te laat nie. Weereens dankie Sunette.
Log in to Reply Sunette Bridges Author May 7, 2013 Dankie vir jou boodskap Harz! …en baie dankie dat jy die nuus deel! Ons is werklik in die moeilikheid en die aanvalle stop nie! Dit gebeur nou daagliks en daar is al hoe minder berigte in die hoofstroom media hieroor! Ons is afhanklik van familie en vriende om te laat weet en vind soms die beriggies in obskure plaaslike koerantjies! ‘n Mens kan eenvoudig nie glo dat die buitewereld so onbewus is van die situasie nie!
Log in to Reply Proppie July 28, 2013 Baie dankie vir die plaas van die verslae ens!!! Jy is ‘n ster!!!! Ek het die link vir my broer gestuur en nou kan hy self sien dat alles wat ek se, WAAR is! Hou so aan! En aan Rob (en alle ander ouers wat kinders verloor het) my seun is 23jaar gelede in ‘n motorongeluk dood en ek weet waardeur julle gaan! En as dit enigsins moontlik is, dink ek julle seer is nog erger omdat dit blatante moord was! My innige simpatie!
Log in to Reply Hans Onrust May 10, 2013 Sunette, we will also send your information further to several political parties in Holland and Germany.
We also want to emphasize, probably superfluous for most of you, that dynamics and flexibility in safety/security is crucial for everyone. Don’t sit and wait behind bars. Can be a matter of organization.
Much strength in this relentless energetic just course. Ook veel succes in het afslaan van die schunnige aanval van die dubieuze mensenrechtenclub met die corrupte ANC lakei in SA op jouw inbreng.

Log in to Reply Sunette Bridges Author May 23, 2013 Dear Clint, your reasoning makes no sense. It is like saying that worrying about the rhino being slaughtered is not relevant because elephant face the same fate in other African countries. This article is specifically focused on “Black on White” attacks, thus Reeva’s death, however tragic, is not relevant and nor is the death of Anene, who was murdered by her own people. …and the same goes for the Modimolle Monster, who’s case doesn’t fall within this time frame in any case. Denying Genocide is one of, in fact the very last stage of Genocide! The day you can bring me stats of white people breaking into the homes of black people, raping, torturing and bludgeoning them to death, I will pay attention to views like yours.
Log in to Reply Adriaan Parker May 24, 2013 Hi Clint, please read this on the Rwanda Genocide http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_Genocide and specificaly note the role a youth group called the Interahamwe played, the Rwandan genocide was a racial genocide the Hutu Majority taking out the Tsutsi minority. The Interahamwe consited of only 30 000 people, thats correct only 30 000 and 100 days later half a million + Tsutsi’s were dead, by far the majority Hutu people are good people. not all germans are bad people but look at what was done in the Holocaust, same can be said about the Serbian Genocide etc, you only need a few thousand extremists and a government to either look away or assist for a great disaster. and yes I do believe by far the most people of all races in South Africa are good people
Log in to Reply Adriaan Parker May 27, 2013 Sorry Clint, Got my numbers wrong, the Interahamwe was only +- 6500, there is a group in RSA with some simmilarities NARYSEC, however I think they more closely resemble the Zanu PF youth brigade. not sure if there is other groups. Every Genocide is different sometimes the army gets involved, sometimes they just stand idly by and do nothing to stop it.
the signs and some precursers though are very similar. Hate speech is one of them, Clint do you think it acceptable that the leader of a country can stand in front of thousand of supporters and chant that people of a ethnic minority in the country be shot? do you see the ANC’s speeches as unifying or Polarising? the NDR adobted by the ANC last year refer to whites as CST’s (Colonist of a Special Type)
History has shown that Inaction when the signs are there is very costly, even while thousands of people were being killed in Rwanda the politicians were arguing and did nothing until it was too late. In Rwanda it happened very fast, others are much slower. rember Genocide is a process not a event. How many whites were in Zimbabwe in 1980, then in 1990 thene in 2000 and how many are left? would you clasify that as a destruction of a people in a country?

Log in to Reply Adriaan Parker May 24, 2013 Hello Sunette, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch en die US department of State het onlangs hulle Jaarlikse publikasies oor Menserregte oor die wereld bekend gestel en soos verwag het hulle nie veel of geen notisie geneem van die Ibhunu’s nie.
Log in to Reply Adriaan Parker May 24, 2013 nog besig om te tik toe gly die vinger, ek het laas jaar briewe aan die organisasies geskryf om hulle in te lig oor die situasie, duidelik het hulle nie my briewe gelees nie, of dink ek praat twak of ander redes, ek beoog om weer briewe te skryf vir die organisasies, onder andere die volgende persone: Wendy R Sherman Under Secretary of state and political affairs, Ambassador Johnnie Carson African Affairs assistant secretary, Michael H Posner Assitant Secretary Bureau of democracy Human Rights or and Labor. Nichola Duckworth Senior Director Research @ Amnesty International en Daniel Bekele, Maria Burnett en Rona Peligal by HRW se kantore in New York, ek het ook vir n ene MR Jacobs geskryf wat die direkteur is by HRW in Suid Afrika maar ek twyfel of hy regtig oor Mense regte belang sal stel as dit wit mense regte is (my opinie). ek wil die volgende 2 dinge vra: 1. mag ek van die inligting in die artikel gebruik maak, en is daar enige ander inligting wat jy dink miskien sal kan help om die dreigende volksmoord bloot te stel? 2. as ek klaar is met die dokumente, sal jy bereid wees om dit te lees en as jy met die inhoud saam stem n aanlyn ondertekening daarvan te hou onder jou groot volgeling basis so dat dit met al die ondertekeninge ingedien kan word by die US ambasade, ander ambasades en ander Mense regte groepe. soos jy weet is die situasie nie goed nie en besig om te versleg.
Log in to Reply Shane June 10, 2013 Hi Clint,
I agree that we have a problem with violence in general in this country.
The facts do, however, speak for themselves. You cannot deny the stats mentioned above. At the same time the powers that be are doing their best to deny/ignore these facts. They certainly aren’t doing anything about it.
I cannot understand how you can claim that we are advocating hate speech when we use a public medium to raise our concerns… Isn’t it ironic that the “whites” are experiencing exactly that which the “blacks” were unhappy about not too long ago….? Is it a case of two wrongs now making it right?
The powers that be have turned a blind eye as many of the guilty parties are exactly those that re-elect them every year. Does this make it acceptable? How many times have you heard/read about these murders in the social media (i.e. TV or news)? But if a white man killed a black man it’s splashed across all the pages for days on end.
We all have our challenges, black ,white, brown (and I’m referring to the honest people who really have faith in the potential of this country), however, does this mean we must just sit back and accept it?
If you aren’t willing to stand up and find some means of protesting (without violence I might add) as we do on this forum – that’s fine. But that doesn’t give you the right to come and criticize us either. To me, my problem is more important than yours is to me. And as long as this country remains divided (as it currently is) things will remain that way. You cannot claim “simunye” when our old folk are being murdered in the most barbaric way. You cannot claim simunye when we are being discriminated against (sound familiar?) in many different ways. You cannot claim simunye when many are being punished for the actions of their forebears purely on the colour of their skin (again, sound familiar?)
I’m not saying that other racial groups are untouched by this violence, but don’t expect me to sympathise when (in our case) the groups doing (by a far margin) the most of the killing are non-white groups. Percentage wise we are taking a hammering. We have been made the outcasts, although we carry the country (think about it honestly). So don’t expect us to just sit back and “take it on the chin”.
No doubt you feel that you are equally affected. May be you are. I don’t climb on your site (if you have one) and criticize you, please, return the favour.
Log in to Reply Rob June 11, 2013 Hi Clint
There is only one way to establish the origin of violence in this country and that is, to establish how many black on white murders there are and how many white on black murders.
I am sure that if you loose a child, like we did,you will also like to establish who the people are and who murdered your child in cold blood. We are doing just that!!!!!!
Let me quote from “The Herald: dated 7th June 2013 under the heading:
” Seething northen areas now imposible to police” ( Port Elizabeth, and by the way, ” The friendly City”):
” Some protesters , carrying placards saying ” In our comunity we don’t want gangsters” , said should their leaders be refused bail, they would kill any white person who set foot in the northen areas. They would also set fire to any unwanted cars in the area”
Clint, if you seriously want a solution for ALL the people in South Africa, I suggest you start looking at the right place and the right people responsible for the violence in South Africa, as you will notice above.
Log in to Reply Billo August 19, 2013 Wow! Well said! My sentiments Exactly. Hear, hear!
Log in to Reply Rob June 12, 2013 Hi Clint
Do not get me wrong, we have 150 clients in black ereas, no, let me rephrase. not clients,partners,because we share income on a 50/50 basis with 150 black families. We spend our time in these black areas and we see violence every day. We know where the violence come from. We know that this government cannot handle the violence anymore. We know that people take the law into their own hands, because the government is useless. But Clint, unfortunately, it is a black corrupt government, letting murderers and rapest out of jail after spending only 1-2 years in jail!!!!!
We cannot close our eyes to the fact that the white people, as mentioned in the Herald, will be victims because these people want to take the law into their own hands now.
Why must the white farmers, and I am also one, live in fear of our lives in our new democracy? Why must our daughters, mothers, grand mothers, black or white be raped ?
Another question: Why do we keep on living in a country like this? We know, and we are warned that our white people will be killed!!! “The Herald!! ” Kill the Boer Kill the Farmer!!!”
And you know, what? The black people as you mentioned are also fed-up, but come election time, the black people forget and where do the make their cross??? Our country will have to burn to ashes, like Zimbabwe, and money other black states before black people will realise that they need the whites as well! For many whites, it will be too late and other would have moved on to other countries where the governments protect their citizens.
Log in to Reply craig July 5, 2013 I am a new comer to this forum and am gutted that I have never seen it before. Sunette I congratulate you on a great job and am glad to see someone highlighting the plight of whites in South Africa.
I was lucky enough to have the means to get my wife and daughters out in time and wish every day to do the same for the rest of my family one day. Leaving the most beautiful country in the world is not easy and not to mention after putting my life on the line for three years in the army. Makes me sick to see how bad things have got.
I still LOVE my Country but can NOT bear to have my Daughters and now Grand Daughter live where they have to fight every day to stay alive.
ONCE AGAIN GREAT JOB SUNETTE !!!!!!
Log in to Reply Rob July 29, 2013 Proppie, dankie vir die mooi woorde. Dit alles help om die las effens ligter te maak. Want dit is n las as mens jou kind op so n barbaarse wyse verloor. Kinders moet hulle ouers begrawe!!! Ons ouers moet nie op hierdie wyse ons kinders begrawe nie!!
Wanneer gaan die slagting in Suid-Afrika ophou? Is dit demokrasie en die reenboognasie wat ons belowe is? Is dit hoe dit in die toekoms hier in die mooi land gaan wees?
Die polisie het twee van die drie barbare aangekeer wat my seun geskiet het en Proppie, ons almal weet hoe lank hulle sal sit vir die barbarse daad en dan laat ons ” President” hulle maar uit o vooert tegaan met hulle ” werk”

Jy is ‘n STER en ons is baie, baie dankbaar vir wat jy doen. Jou onderhoud op die radio het ek vandag geluister en jy was uitstekend , uiteidelik het ons iemand wat goed ingelig is en terselfdertyd ‘n uitstekende koelkop spreker, dit was wonderlik o te hoor hoe jy daardie arrogante vroumens koelkop op haar plek gesit het en as sy in ‘n hoek was het sy vining die onderwerp verander.
Mooi so en welgedaan.
Ek is erg bedrywig met die Kanadese Regering en ons het ‘n vergadering gehad in Julie met my MP, en die minister van Immigrasie, hopelik gaan ons binnekort die Minister van Buitelandse sake ook by ‘n vergadering kry. Ek kon op die laaste oomblik nie terug Kanada toe vir die vergadering nie en moes op die nippertjie 6 ander S.A. daarby betrek. My MP het self ook 6 S.A. by die vergadering betrek. Die vergadering het baie positiewe
insette gelewer en die Kanadese Regering is meer en meer bewus van die S.A. situasie.
Weereens ek haal my hoed af vir jou toegewydheid in ons stryd.
Nelie van Aardt
Maar soos die Engelse spreekwoord gaan “If you look for a helping hand look at the end of your arm” en ons Boerenasie sal self ons eie heil moet uitwerk en gou ook, die ANC gaan verseker nie vir ons tegemoed kom nie.
Ongelukkig het die Eerste Minister daardie selfde dag die vorige Minister van Immigrasie verplaas na ‘n ander Departement wat vir ons ‘n groot teruslag was aangesien die vorige Minister ons baie goedgesind was. Ek is tans in S.A. en gaan 4 November terug na Vancouver. Sover kan Kanada net Immigrasie en Vlugtelingskap makliker maak vir S.Afrikaners, sover ek weet het hulle uit die VN bedank en het hulle nie daar enige gewig nie. Sodra ek terug is gaan ek weer vuure daar aan die brand hou.
