Dutch anti-apartheid campaigner shoots dead black attacker

          Second attack on Dutch citizens in SA within a week… Alberthus de Jong, 66, also murdered at Boschkop Pretoria smallholding Sept 23 2010…      2010-10-29 Wife of Dutch anti-apartheid campaigner Jan Ditmars, 59, shoots dead black attacker during Boschkop smallholding gunfight –   Oct 29 2010 – As was only reported several days later, Dutch anti-apartheid campaigner Jan Ditmars’ wife Madi, 50, was injured in the shoulder and one of their four black attackers’ bodies was found 300 meters away from the Boschkop smallholding after a shootout on Friday-night. She fired ‘numerous shots’. Beeld newspaper.  -----------------------    Her husband Jan Ditmars – who emigrated to South Africa in 1994 to ‘help rebuild the country’ after he ‘d helped the ANC with the election campaign --  hastened to reassure  the news media that the armed attack by at least four black men wasn’t race-related at all --  it was ‘purely a robbery, ‘he said.   He’s clearly toeing the ANC-propaganda which claims that the horrendous wave of murders targetting white farmers and smallholders in South Africa are ‘purely motivated by crime’.   However nothing was robbed from the Ditmars farmlet.  â€œIn a way the robbery can be justified due to the inequality and poverty in the country. That’s one reason for crime in South Africa, I believe,” he said.   However, he nearly lost his wife in the shootout, which was launched by a black male gang from about 19:15 on Friday night purportedly in the Dutch couple’s livingroom/office.   Mrs Ditmars had gone outside to set the alarm so that it was activated at the outside doors, but not inside the house, her husband said.    The ‘robber gang’ must have been watching their homestead, because she was grabbed by the four-member gang while she was fiddling with the alarm and marched back inside their homestead at gunpoint.  â€œThen my wife shot him… many times’   Ditmars was working on his computer when he heard their voices and saw the gang walk in with his wife. “I started struggling with one of the robbers to distract them to allow my wife to fetch her gun. She asked one of the robbers whether his gun was even loaded- at which point he fired a shot into the ceiling. Then my wife shot him. Many times. He shot back and tried to take her gun away from her. It was like the Wild West,’ said the anti-apartheid activist. “My wife was shot in the process.”  Despite his protestations that it was ‘purely a robbery’ however, the gang fled without robbing anything.   Mr Ditmars alerted the local policing-community forum who contacted the SAPS and the emergency services. She was admitted in stable condition to a hospital. Mysteriously – the SAPS found one attacker’s body 300m away from their homestead. “We are not proud that someone has died. Many will say that it’s a good thing that the man was shot dead  but that was neither our feeling nor our intent. We grieve that someone had to die,’ said Ditmars. There has been no comment from the SAPS. http://www.beeld.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Vrou-skiet-rower-dood-20101031  ------------------------        Albertus de Jong, 66, Dutch citizen, slaughtered with hatchet at Perdefontein smallholdings, Wallmansthal, Pretoria-North Oct 23 2010  WALLMANSTHAL, Kameeldrift, Zuid-Afrika. The two dogs of murdered Dutch immigrant Albertus de Jong, 66, guarded his body for three days after the elderly Dutchman was slaughtered with a hatchet on his smallholding near Pretoria north. He had no family in SA and emigrated during the eighties, his friends said. SA police have asked the Dutch news media to publish his picture in an attempt to trace his family members. Thus far none appear to have done so.    The murder of De Jong brings the total of murdered white farmers/smallholders to 3,739 deaths since 1994.

His weeping friend – too scared to have her name published – told Keppler that she found one of his old dogs guarding his body and the other one guarding the front door. She and two other friends had gone to the smallholding on Monday after he had failed to show up for his weekly Sunday-dinner at her home in Pretoria, she said.   “I phoned him but received no reply. I’d still spoken to him on Thursday.’ She took the old, faithful dogs to a vet to be euthanised. “I’m sure Albertus would not have wanted them to be cared by anyone else. They were always with him,’ she said.   SAPS constable Portia Maleka said the Dutch immigrant’s ‘stolen’ farm-vehicle (‘bakkie”) was found abandoned in the black township Mamelodi near Pretoria.
