” MBEKI, ZUMA & MAHARAJ MUST BE CHARGED FOR CHURCH STREET BOMBING”- EX POLICE COMMISSIONER JOHAN VD MERWE.
SOUTH AFRICA- FAILED LAND OF COMMUNIST ANC ORGANIZED CRIME ,LIBFARTS, UNION CHAOS , MISDIRECTED RAINBOW MONKEYS – AND WHITE GENOCIDE
“The Pretoria bombing was authorized at the highest level of the ANC. I know the ANC is blaming Mr Oliver Tambo because he is dead, but in terms of their structures, the NEC was responsible for the policy and conduct of these bombings. And the political military council was responsible to authorize these operations,” Van der Merwe said at an AfriForum conference in memory of the victims of the Church Street bombing in 1983.Most of the members of the ANC who served in this structure are dead, but Mr Thabo Mbeki, President Jacob Zuma, Mr Mac Maharaj and a few of them are still alive. Notwithstanding the fact that members of the police, security forces and government have already been charged for offenses related to the conduct of the past, none of them were ever charged. All of them were, in terms of our law and the principles of common law, guilty of murder.” – Genl. Johan vd Merwe. (Link)
TODAY 33 years ago:
May 20 1983: A powerful car bomb placed by MK Operatives exploded outside the Air Force Headquarters building in Church Street during the afternoon rush-hour period killing 7 members of the SADF and 10 civilians. Another 197 SADF personnel and civilians were wounded in the explosion that also killed the two MK Operatives who had placed the bomb.
The casualties were:

In submissions to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in 1997 and 1998, the ANC revealed that the attack was orchestrated by a special operations unit of the ANC’s Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), commanded by Aboobaker Ismail. Such units had been authorized by Oliver Tambo, the ANC President, in 1979. At the time of the attack, they reported to Joe Slovo as chief of staff, and the Church Street attack was authorized by Tambo.
The ANC’s submission said the bombing was in response to a South African cross-border raid into Lesotho in December 1982 which killed 42 ANC supporters and civilians, and the assassination of Ruth First, an ANC activist and the wife of Joe Slovo, in Maputo, Mozambique. It claimed that 11 of the casualties were SAAF personnel and hence a military target. The legal representative of some of the victims argued that as administrative staff including telephonists and typists they could not accept that they were a legitimate military target.
Ten MK operatives, including Aboobaker Ismail, applied for amnesty for this and other bombings. The applications were opposed on various grounds, including that it was a terrorist attack disproportionate to the political motive. The TRC found that the number of civilians versus military personnel killed was unclear. South African Police statistics indicated that 7 members of the SAAF were killed. The commission found that at least 84 of the injured were SAAF members or employees. Amnesty was granted by the TRC.
n 1994 the terrorist ANC and their communist dregs rode on their grey horses of death behind the liberal British media icon Nelson Mandela into South Africa like conquering heroes- hailed by the unscrupulous corporate tzars and evil banksters as a “democratic” chosen government. Yet today – behind all their false propaganda and diabolical “democratic” illusions- we see their evil legacy as destroyers and creators of destruction manifests and still proceeds in our streets and on our farms.
But in fact the ANC’s struggle – in its last decade from 1984 to 1994 – took the form of a ruthless people’s war that was primarily aimed at giving the ANC” elite” hegemony over the new South Africa, rather than at so-called “liberation.” They were power hungry- and that power they eyed for only a selected “few” on top. They NEVER had any intention of sharing that power with the populace. The normal “cadre” on the ground was exploited to do the dirty work- the cannon fodder to ensure the “elite” on top get that power. Lives did not matter- as long as it ensured the “elite” obtain that power. Today nothing has changed.
EXPLOITING THE ILLITERATE MASSES TO DO THEIR DIRTY WORK FOR THEM IN EXCHANGE FOR MEAGER STATE GRANTS.
From Lethuli- House– that epicenter of evil- they reign with an iron fist- planning and formulating South Africa’s next hazardous course. Parliament to them is only a by-product to legalize the evil they schemed-up in their Johannesburg-based stronghold. Through the utilization of state-funded powers such as “laws” and their security forces – the media and deception- they protect themselves from being exposed , investigated- and prosecuted. The Nkandla scandal and the vicious attacks on the public prosecutor Thuli Madonsela substantiates this fact. The “elite” still clings to that power- and the masses still are being exploited to do the dirty work and take the consequences. Camp Quatro and Marikana was such examples of how the “elite” will not tolerate any opposition to their Stalinist rule. They will turn South Africa into a war-zone if challenged for that power- this much Mantashe himself has warned numerous times.
WHILE THE “ELITE” HAVE FARMS, DOUBLE STORY HOUSES IN SANDTON, HOUGHTON , BISHOP’S COURT AND NKANDLA– THEIR POPULACE MUST SQUIRM IN POVERTY AND SHACKS.
As big an oaf as Malema may be- he -at the moment -is exactly exposing that simmering skin-deep evil of the ANC “elite” bit by bit. He is directly challenging the supreme power himself. For that he gets thrown out of parliament time and again. The state machinery are being used effectively to silence him. Being thrown out of the parliament exposes their intolerance and retaliation against any form of challenge. Such are their attacks on the public prosecutor – and as a matter of fact -against anybody that questions their motives. The assassination of Eugene Terreblanche– the Boeremag – Joe Modise, Peter Mokaba – and many other resistance or rebellious behaviors or possible threats to their dictatorial rule is clear evidence that it will be met with fatal consequences.This the shell-House massacre already should have told us when they massacred 19 Zulu impis that dared challenging their authority and dared to set foot on the holy grounds of their bastion that one-day would change the course of our country for the worst.
THE SHELL-HOUSE MASSACRE WAS JUST THE START OF THE ANC’s DISPLAY OF JEALOUS POWER- AND A SERIOUS WARNING TO SOUTH AFRICANS OF A LOOMING VIOLENT FUTURE.
The most recent example of this intolerance is the so-called “Spy” charges against Pravin Gorhan– newly appointed minister of finance. The (Zuma created) Hawks wanted Gordhan and eight others charged for alleged” illicit intelligence gathering and spying on taxpayers ” during his time as SA Revenue Service commissioner between 1999 and 2009. A so-called “rogue unit” within Sars was allegedly responsible for this. What a lot of crap and a deliberate set-up! Now we all know Gordhan- been earlier sacked by Zuma- was not the supreme power’s personal choice- BUT by making a huge fu*k up appointing Van Rooyen– he was forced to re-appoint Gordhan. NOW poor Gordhan tries his utmost to save our economy- and that INCLUDES keeping the “elites’ ” hands out of the cookie jar. For this the “elite” are turning against Gordhan- and again now are setting up the state machinery and media to get rid of him. Mean-while Zuma himself never got sacked for his 780 corruption charges against him. He made sure the elite investigation unit- the Scorpions– were quickly dismantled as they were gunning for him- closing in on his back-side for the illegal weapons scandal! Another “irritating “obstacle and challenge effectively “removed.” In their place he appointed a more “user friendly” Hawks– which now have the power to investigate anybody…bar the “elite.”
MORE THAN 4000 WHITE FARMERS WERE BRUTALLY MURDERED IN THE POWER-MAD ZEST TO CONTROL ALL OUR PRODUCTIVE FARMLAND.
So why are Gordhan in the “elites'” cross-hairs then? The answer is obvious and simple: He prevents them from plundering the state coffers– and that is a direct challenge to their authority and freedom of racketeering with pension funds, insurance funds, etc. Mean-while a credit inspection by powerful credit houses such as Moodys, Finch and S&P are looming in June to assess South Africa’s financial ability- and if the “elite” proceed to target Gordhan or remove him- South Africa’s credit rating will plummet into the abyss. BUT it does not bother the “elite” at all. They want to retain that power- supreme power over the country- power of the state coffers, power over the media, power over the internet, power over the security forces-power over free speech- and power over our very own private lives. They want to totally control South Africa with that power….even if it means a bankrupt and imploded South Africa! They have become power-mad.
THE MARIKANA MASSACRE- A CONTINUATION OF THAT POWER-MAD DICTATORSHIP.
Today- hundreds of illiterate and poor blacks go on the rampage, strike, riot, burn and destroy the infrastructure on propaganda orders from that same “elite.” Even their OWN youth and children are not been spared- but being exploited for the “elite’s” own selfish agendas. How devious CAN you get? Their institutions became breeding grounds for Marxist doctrines. The youth are being instigated by planted front-men to burn their own tertiary institutions- leaving them without any means of education. Hatred, division and racism are being fueled from the highest powers to keep the populace divided, powerless- and obedient.
MORE THAN 1000 VIOLENT RIOTS SINCE 2015 ORCHESTRATED TO DESTABILIZE COMMUNITIES AND BUSINESS IN ORDER TO KEEP CONTROL
Come the next election the “elite”– their demonic British handlers- and the subservient controlled media propaganda machines again will ensure through false indoctrination and psi-ops operations that the masses are being brain-washed to give back the power to the “elite.” NOTHING else matters- not lives, country, patriotism or freedom- all could be sacrificed to retain that power….even murder. The South African landscape became the killing fields for black power-hungry dictators and alien corporate assassins. Did the ANC ever change from their bomb-planting terrorist mentality? The answer is a resounding NO– they just got richer and more SOPHISTICATED in their war against the country and their own populace. Feeling remorse or having a guilty conscience about killing innocent people in the church street bomb they don’t have. It only was yet another diabolical move on their chess board to put the king into check-mate – and obtain the power of his throne.
BELOW IS A LIST OF ALL THE TERRORIST ACTS COMMITTED BY THIS SAME “DEMOCRATIC” ELECTED TERRORISTS AGAINST A SOVEREIGN COUNTRY AND HER PEOPLE- YET NOT ONE OF IT’S LEADERS TODAY PAID FOR THEIR PART IN THEIR SO-CALLED “FREEDOM STRUGGLE”- WHICH WAS NOTHING LESS THAN BLATANT ACTS OF TERRORISM – THEY PLAYED. THIS IS A LIST OF THEIR ATTROCTIES THEY WANT TO HIDE FROM THE WORD. THIS IS THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES THEY CONVENIENTLY WANT THE WORLD TO “FORGET”– BURIED AWAY IN THE DEEP CORRIDORS OF HISTORY-NEVER TO BE REMEMBERED. THIS IS THEIR CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY THEY WANT TO COVER WITH MORE LIES , FALSE PROPAGANDA AND DECEPTION. THEY SO BADLY WANT TO “FORGET” THEIR OWN VIOLENT HISTORY- BUT HISTORY WILL NEVER FORGET THEM. UP TO TODAY THE ANC TERRORISTS NEVER DENOUNCED VIOLENCE AS YET:
