Gang Seeks to Violently Collect Body Parts for Witchcraft from People Still Alive!

A woman was viciously attacked, and almost had her breasts cut off, by a gang seeking human body parts for use in witchcraft rituals in a remote part of the Eastern Cape!ⁱ

Veleka Mkiva (40), a community health worker, told how three men approached her when she was standing at a hitchhiking spot near her village of Xawuka. They showed her a piece of paper with sketches of human body parts, and said she must choose which one she wanted to lose! “One of them asked me which parts I can offer them and when I refused he pulled out a gun and a knife. I was scared and gave him my breasts to cut off. It was painful and I passed out while he was still trying to cut them off,” she said. “Before I passed out I saw a car coming from the villages and they ran away without finishing their job. I fell down and fainted and woke up in hospital.”

It is possible the gang is part of a body-parts syndicate operating in the area, where several murders and mutilations have struck terror into the communities of Butterworth and Dutywa. A week before, a man died after he was badly beaten by a mob of local residents in Butterworth after he allegedly tried to cut off a man’s genitals.

This is the horrifying reality of witchcraft among so many of South Africa’s black people. Human body parts are often demanded by witchdoctors to be used in the making of their supposed magic potions, and a lot of money can be earned by thugs who are brazen enough to attack innocent people and chop off body parts. This is the reality of barbarism in South Africa, even today. And yet we’re being told by so-called “experts” that all religions are equal, and that Christianity should never have been preached among the black tribes of Africa. To the contrary, the only hope for all men and women, including those held in the grip of witchcraft and ancestor-worship in Africa today, is the Gospel of Christ.

And so, while the people of the world, in their blindness and ignorance, celebrate “Mandela Day” and sing the praises of this terrorist-turned-messianic-idol of the world, who presided over the destruction of a once-safe and prosperous country and is now adored for it by liberals, Socialists and Communists everywhere, true Christians in South Africa seek to lift up the only true Saviour, Jesus Christ, that those lost and dead in their sins might look by faith to Him, and find true freedom and true peace in Him alone!

South Africa’s Rape Level Is as High as Countries at War

According to Doctors Without Borders, only countries at war suffer as much sexual violence as South Africa.ⁱⁱ “The figures we have are alarming, but they are just a tip of the iceberg as most cases go unreported,” said operational director Meinie Nicolai.

“We have noticed that rape in societies has become normal, it has become normal to be raped,” said Janine Josias, a Doctors Without Borders doctor working in Khayelitsha, a township outside Cape Town.

It is estimated that a woman is raped every 26 seconds in South Africa.

Furthermore, according to a study conducted by South Africa’s Medical Research Council (MRC), one in four men admitted that they had raped someone, and nearly half of them admitted that they had done so more than once. Furthermore, three out of four who admitted rape had attacked for the first time during their teens.ⁱⁱⁱ

In carrying out the study, the MRC spoke to 1738 men in the provinces of KwaZulu Natal and the Eastern Cape.

South Africa’s Horrifying Child Rape and Murder Statistics

According to a report released by Solidarity Helping Hand, a child is raped every three minutes in South Africa! There are about 60 reported cases of child rape every single day; but more than 88% are never reported, which means that in truth, there are 530 child rapes every single day in South Africa! 45% of all rapes in SA are child rapes.

As for child murders, in 2007/2008 there were 1410 cases of child murder reported, which was 22.4% more than in the previous year.^iv

Police Involvement in Crime

According to the Independent Complaints Directorate (ICD), criminal complaints against police members have increased remarkably. In 2005/2006 and 2006/2007 respectively, there were 1643 and 1787 criminal complaints against police members; but in 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 respectively, there were 2101 and 2289 complaints against members of the police. This includes crimes such as murder, attempted murder, rape, assault with the intent to seriously injure, theft and corruption.^v

“These are only the complaints which have been reported to the ICD, but there could be many more,” said Pieter Groenewald, an MP and member of the Freedom Front Plus, a conservative political party. “The figures also confirm why the faith which members of the public have in the police is declining.” He added: “In the past I posed many questions in Parliament about this issue but the former Minister of Police, Charles Nqakula, refused to make the figures available…. I said that Nqakula has something to hide. It is now clear that he indeed did try to hide something.”

The ruling ANC would like nothing more than to keep all such statistics and figures away from the public, because it well knows that such figures reveal the astounding incompetence and couldn’t-care-less attitude of the ANC authorities towards the crime holocaust engulfing South Africa. They want the world to believe that South Africa is a haven of peace and safety, where they govern well and with the best interests of the country at heart and where everyone lives happily under them. It’s all nonsense. South Africa is a criminals’ paradise, where even many members of the police force are involved in committing all kinds of serious crimes. The truth about this needs to be made more widely known.

South Africa’s Violent Crime Causes It to Tumble on the Global Peace Index

The Global Peace Index (GPI) forms part of the Institute for Economics and Peace, a global think tank on the relationship between economics, business and peace. It is calculated on the institute’s behalf by the Economist Intelligence Unit and its network of country analysts. And on the Global Peace Index 2009, South Africa is ranked 123 out of 144 countries.^vi It fell 15 places compared with GPI 2008. In the African region, South Africa is ranked 21 out of 31 countries.

It obtained unfavourable scores for (in order of most impact): the level of violent crime; number of homicides; ease of access to weapons; level of organised internal conflict; perceptions of criminality; respect for human rights; and likelihood of violent demonstrations.

New Zealand tops the overall ranking as the world’s most peaceful country, followed by Denmark and Norway. All five Scandinavian countries are in the top 10. Western or Central European democracies account for 14 of the top 20 rankings. Botswana, Malawi and Gabon are ranked the top three African countries. The United States is ranked 83. Iraq is, for the third year running, ranked least at peace.

Fifteen years after the African National Congress took power in South Africa, the country’s shocking crime rate means it is ranked not that far above such countries as Zimbabwe, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Somalia. So much for the much-vaunted “miracle nation” of Nelson Mandela, the country which Allan Boesak said would be the “New Jerusalem”. Funny, but in the true New Jerusalem described in the Bible, there is no death, and there are no murderers (Rev. 21:4,8).
