Professional victimhood: South Africa’s growth industry

Rape is a serious problem in South Africa. South Africa is known as the rape capital of the world. At least 55,000 rapes occur annually, including shockingly brutal incidents like the rape and disembowelment of Anene Booysen in 2013. Most rapes however go unreported, due to the stigma and humiliation involved in the legal process.

According to the South African Medical Research Council, rape may be under-reported by a factor of 25:1 in South Africa, meaning that the real number of rapes committed in the country is probably as high as 1,3 million! Even in countries at war, rape does not occur as frequently as it does in South Africa.

But, of course, this being the professional victimhood capital of the world, there are those that make a living by pretending they’ve been wronged or raped too. I call them professional victims, because they cynically make a living from others’ pain and suffering. They don’t build, invent, work hard or innovate. They especially do not take personal responsibility for their own actions. Instead, they externalize blame. It’s never their own fault, but always somebody else’s. Often they tend to be self-styled activists, and of course, journalist hacks desperately seeking some kind of inspiration.

Let’s take a case study. One of these professional victims gets involved with the ex-boyfriend of an acquaintance. She admits he’s got a reputation for being a known womanizer, but like a moth drawn to a candle, she can’t stay away from him. One night, by her own admission, she gets horrendously drunk in his company and invites him to her home, to “meet her dogs”. (No, really, this is her own story. )The inevitable happens. They have sex. Four years later, on social media, she alleges the sex was, in fact, rape, after reading some random piece of feminazi propaganda. “Strangely”, however, she did not report the alleged rape to the authorities, and her alleged rapist departed the next morning without incident. She remembers her vagina and thighs hurting the next morning (as did her head from her hangover, I would hazard). How convenient. No DNA tests, no possible defence or rebuttal from the alleged assailant, just her wild allegations, four years after the fact. The allegations predictably contain no whiff of personal responsibility for her own actions.

A lack of evidence or proof has, however, never interested the professional victims, feminazis and libtards. The alleged rapist, who has had no opportunity to defend himself, is declared guilty by the Feminazi Inquisition. Immediately a whole industry of professional victims and seventeenth-rate journalist hags, mostly feminazis and professional gay victims in the employ of News24, springs to life. They sniff blood in the water. David Bullard, a semi-retired newspaper columnist, aids her cause immensely by making the mistake of calling the professional victim’s version of the events into question. Voila! A dream situation for a ragged assortment of News24 hacks, feminazis and libtards, who vent their hysterical anger by screaming on Twitter.

Bullard is roundly condemned for daring to question the professional victim’s behaviour. Feminazis waste no time in screaming hysterical abuse at Bullard and all men who dare to question the activist’s version of events. Acres of trashy condemnation, cheap sensationalism and generalizations of all men being potential rapists appear in the already-nauseating pages of Women24. The professional victim, obviously and cynically not missing out on a commercial opportunity, publishes absurd stories on her blog, like this one, in which another so-called victim is convinced by a so-called therapist that she is also a rape victim. Again this happens three days after the event, after voluntarily sharing a bed with a man in a hotel room, and admitting to experiencing an orgasm in his car the next day, after the alleged rape. Again no charges are laid.

But what have these professional victims and feminazis really achieved? They’ve made it more difficult for real victims to come forward. They have done huge damage to real rape victims by crying wolf, because their unlikely stories and cynical exploitation of public sympathy have led many to wonder how many other alleged rapes are really what they purport to be.

Of course, professional victimhood, the externalization of blame for one’s own lack of initiative, a lack of a work ethic and a lack of morals, is endemic to South Africa, and not limited to feminazi hacks. Julius Malema is another professional victim, forever whingeing about how whites “stole” blacks’ land. To a professional victim like Malema, the facts, such as that the land was mostly obtained in a perfectly legal fashion by means of treaties and agreements, don’t matter at all. Malema doesn’t want to hear that Botswana, an entire country, as well as Lesotho and Swaziland, were given to blacks as part of a land settlement. No, it is a lot easier to pretend to be a victim, and to blame external parties for your own backwardness.

I can carry on quoting examples of professional victimhood. Affirmative-action beneficiaries are prime examples of professional victims. Jan van Riebeeck didn’t find schools, platinum mines, the wheel or commercial enterprises in South Africa in 1652, so it is impossible to logically blame colonizers for the lack of jobs, education or commercial opportunities among the then indigenous population. However, today all blacks are viewed as victims, and therefore Patrice Motsepe’s children will enjoy preference over poor white kids from a white squatter camp when both apply for a job. Another example of professional victims are those who loot and burn down the shops of Somali or Pakistani shopkeepers in townships. It never occurs to the looters that there is nothing preventing them from establishing the same kind of shops that the Somalis do. It is much easier to pretend to be a victim and to allege that the Somalis are stealing their livelihoods.

It’s easy to offend professional victims. It is easy to bring down a torrent of abuse and screams of “male chauvinism” or “racism” on your own head. All you have to do is to use terms like the following against these professional victims:

Take personal responsibility for your actions.
Work hard.
Stop blaming others.

All yours, professional victims. I look forward to the stream of filthy invective, outrage, abuse and hate that will now inevitably issue forth from your insignificant little poison pens.

Murder/rape trial of Johannes Kana continues

Final arguments in the trial of the man accused of raping and killing 17-year-old Anene Booysen are expected to take place in the Swellendam Circuit Court on Monday.

On Tuesday, the court heard Booysen could have been raped and disembowelled before being dumped at a construction site.

It was reported that police dog unit investigator Sergeant Jerome Timmy testified that he believed there was not enough blood spatter at the scene to indicate the attack took place there.

Johannes Kana is on trial for allegedly raping and disembowelling Booysen in Bredasdorp, in the Western Cape, in February.

Booysen died in Tygerberg Hospital on the afternoon of Saturday, February 2.

He has admitted leaving a Bredasdorp pub with Booysen, hitting and raping her, but has denied killing her.

The court heard that a baseball cap, allegedly belonging to Kana, had tested positive for traces of blood. – Sapa

Sadistic South Africa: Anene Booysen’s injuries worst ever seen by doctor

Anene Booysen’s injuries were the worst ever seen by the doctor who treated her after her attack, the SABC reported on Tuesday.

The Swellendam Circuit Court heard that Elizabeth de Kok treated 17-year-old Booysen at the Tygerberg Hospital, Cape Town, before she was transferred to a hospital in Swellendam, in the Western Cape.

According to the SABC, De Kok described Booysen’s intestinal injuries as the worst she had ever seen.

Dr Liezl Taylor reportedly attended to Booysen in Swellendam. She said the extent of her injuries meant she would succumb to them.

The two doctors were testifying at Johannes Kana’s rape and murder trial.

Kana has admitted leaving a Bredasdorp pub with Booysen, hitting and raping her, but has denied killing her.

She was raped and disembowelled and died in the Tygerberg Hospital on the afternoon of Saturday, February 2.

Trial of Anene Booysen killer starts in Swellendam

The trial of the man accused of raping and killing teenager Anene Booysen is expected to begin in the Swellendam Circuit Court on Monday.

Johannes Kana’s last court appearance was at the Western Cape High Court on September 7, where the trial was set down for four weeks. A total of 52 witnesses were expected to be called to testify.

Prosecutor Maria Marshall said she had provided Kana’s lawyer Pieter du Toit with further particulars and would deliver the last statements to him. She had drafted a set of admissions for the defence to consider.

Should the defence make certain admissions, the trial was likely to be shortened as fewer witnesses would have to be called.

Du Toit said there was a possibility of two trials-within-a-trial, one related to a statement Kana made and the other to a videotape of Kana pointing out scenes to police.

Kana remained in custody. The 21-year-old allegedly raped and disembowelled 17-year-old Booysen between the night of Friday, February 1 and morning of February 2 this year, near Kleinbegin, Bredasdorp.

She died at Tygerberg Hospital on the afternoon of February 2. – Sapa

Bredasdorp rape accused pre-trial

The NPA says it rejected Johannes Kana’s guilty plea for the rape of slain teenager Anene Booysen because it would have implied a lesser sentence.

Western Cape National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said on Wednesday they asked Johannes Kana (21) to plead to Booysen’s rape and murder on Monday to limit the issues in dispute at a later stage. Kana pleaded guilty to the rape but not to the murder.

“In the case of Kana, his guilty plea did not correspond with the evidence available to the state,” Ntabazalila said. “In respect of the rape charge, he describes circumstances which only warrant a minimum sentence of 10 years imprisonment and not the circumstances as contained in the docket, which warrants a minimum sentence of life imprisonment.”

In Kana’s plea, he admitted to leaving a Bredasdorp pub with Booysen and later assaulting her by kicking her and hitting her with his fists. He then raped her.

Ntabazalila said Kana did not say where or how he raped the 17-year-old.

“[I]t is clear from the plea explanation offered in respect of the rape charge that he denies inflicting the extensive genital injuries on the deceased, which caused her intestines to protrude from her genital area and ultimately, caused her death … He therefore denies that he murdered her.”

The state alleges Kana unlawfully and deliberately sexually penetrated Booysen with his penis or with another object not known to the state, between February 1 and 2 this year, near Kleinbegin, Bredasdorp.

Kana then allegedly used his hand or another object to disembowel her, which resulted in her death at Tygerberg Hospital on Saturday, February 2.

Remaining murder charge
The matter would now go to trial and the state would use Kana’s admissions as evidence against him.

“This will shorten the trial because the focus of the trial will be on proving the exact circumstances of the rape and the remaining murder charge,” Ntabazalila said.

The case was postponed until July 9 for provincial public prosecutions director Rodney de Kock to decide whether the trial should be held in the regional court or the Western Cape High Court.

Two weeks ago the state dropped charges against Kana’s co-accused, 22-year-old Jonathan Davids. At the time, Ntabazalila said an investigation revealed there was insufficient evidence to secure a conviction.

“We understand the sense of shock and outrage that was induced by the incident. However, as the prosecution, we can only prosecute successfully on sufficient evidence,” he said.

Before she died, Booysen said from her hospital bed that five or six men were involved in the attack. She mentioned the name “Zwai”, which was both the nickname of Davids and another man said to live in Zwelitsha. – Sapa

Deconstructing David Smith on Oscar Pistorius

The British Guardian is a notoriously anti-South African and more particularly anti-Afrikaans newspaper. As a purveyor of quasi-leftwing propaganda it is probably only rivalled by the former Soviet rag Pravda (‘The Truth’) which nowadays no longer enthuses about the class struggle and violent revolution. Unlike The Guardian.

The Oscar Pistorius incident is a kind of fait divers that would have gone unnoticed were he not a Paralympian athlete. However, for The Guardian’s Africa correspondent, David Smith, the murder is pregnant with meaning, revealing “deep-rooted attitudes to women, race and guns”. (See Oscar Pistorius: South Africa prepares for its own OJ-style trial of the century.)

A murder between two white people, which is ostensibly some kind of crime passionel, therefore has a deeper social meaning which the brainy Brecht-quoting Brit will reveal to us. Unfortunately for David Smith, his sensationalistic article, half-reportage, half-oped piece – but full-blooded propaganda – does not live up to its pop-psychological pretensions.

Smith, like his namesake in the Johannesburg Star, Janet Smith, who equally specialises in stereotypes about South Africa and Afrikaners, is confident that his British readers share those same idée reçues, reinforced by years of one-sided caricatures sent out from South Africa. Asserting racism in the Pistorius case, is like invoking a mediaeval theory of witches, referring to succubi that we know “exist out there somewhere”.

The notion that there is any similarity between the case of O.J. Simpson and Pistorius is equally spurious. In Simpson’s case there was a clear racial element, which eventually played itself out in the differential white and black perceptions of Simpson’s guilt. Simpson, a black man, had been accused of murdering his white wife. There is more of a resemblance to the recent allegations of abuse suffered by Mrs. Judy Sexwale at the hands of her cabinet minister husband than to the Pistorius case.

Yet probably accusations of black husbands beating up their white wives is not news to David Smith and The Guardian. It does not fit their edenic view of Africans as the innocent victims of white racism.

Smith and The Guardian, as far as I know, have never reported on farm murders or the many high-profile cases of white children, some even babies or toddlers, killed in cold blood by young black males in South Africa. Willemien Potgieter, Danielle Esterhuizen and Alyssa Botha come to mind. News from South Africa is carefully filtered to incite international animus against local whites, Afrikaners especially.

Obviously, David Smith and other foreign correspondents are acting in bad faith. Their writing flies in the face of journalistic ethics, credibility or even basic decency. In more than one sense, they are “framing” us, portraying us as ruthless killers and “racists” while we are the real victims of the sadistic violence raging in South Africa.

I would go even further and suggest that the British Left, that motley collection of Anglican radical clerics, cultural Marxists and whatever “militant tendency” remains in the Labour Party, are not happy with the slow pace of the killing in South Africa. The sadism, although vicious and bloodcurdling as when elderly ladies are tortured with hot irons, made to drink boiling water, gang-raped or hacked to pieces, does not happen on a scale large enough to satisfy the heirs of Kitchener or Roberts’s genocidal instincts.

David Smith, for example, laments the fact that there are “160 000 inmates who endure incarceration in Africa’s most overcrowded prison system”. We know that only 8% of murder cases ever result in a conviction in this country. The inefficiencies of our “transformed” criminal justice system, as well as corruption, see to that. Recently we learned that one third of all “South African” men had raped a woman on some occasion. Now, if all the murderers, the rapists and the robbers could have been apprehended and punished, there would no doubt have been a million “inmates enduring incarceration” in South Africa, almost elevating us to American levels of imprisonment.

However, even the fact that 8% of our murderers are in jail is too much too bear for British sadists who believe that these admirably passionate animals, the murderers and rapists, should be allowed to roam free within the paradise of cruelty that is South Africa.

Since the early nineteenth century, Britain has followed a remarkably consistent policy of ethnocide and even genocide towards the indigenous whites and Afrikaners of this country. I get the sense in David Smith’s ramblings about gun culture and white racism, that the process of decay and dissolution is not taking place fast enough. The hundreds of thousands of our people who are fleeing to Australia, New Zealand and other countries as a result of the violence, to be assimilated there into the Anglo-Saxon population, are not sufficient to ensure our immediate and sudden demise. More horror, more sadism is needed.

Hence Smith and all the others who are inciting black hatred against us, hoping for some sort of “final solution”. Smith’s message is clear: every Afrikaner male is, like Oscar Pistorius, a woman killer, a “gun freak” who needs to be eliminated in some or other way. Gated communities and other ways of protecting oneself from the paradise of cruelty brought about by British political intervention in South Africa, “arguably inflame the divide between the haves and the have-nots”, as Smith puts it. His platitudes tumble like clothes in a tumble dryer, but we must not miss the underlying logic that protecting oneself from violence is morally wrong. Within a sadistic universe the victim, once chosen by the master, has no right to resist being abused or slaughtered.

When the British camp commandant barks, we should all accept our fate unreservedly. Britain is an island state with an immense capacity for ethnocentrism, whether directed against Afrikaners, Russians, the French or the Germans. I recently re-read Kurt Vonnegut’s cult novel from the late sixties, Slaughterhouse Five, set against the backdrop of the Dresden bombing. British contempt for the Other inspired not only the Boer concentration camps and the Dresden bombing, but also the series of colonial killings in Africa and India. More recently, British soldiers in Irak have been accused of committing atrocities against the civilian population there. Terms used by these paragons of antiracism for Iraqis include: “stinking Arabs”, “yip-yaps”, towel-heads”, “flip-flops”, and “crusties.” (See The British Military in Iraq : A Legacy of War Crimes and Atrocities.)

To Britain and its journalists, South Africa is just a zoo or game park where they may gawk at the next “kill”, naturally siding with the predators, those magnificent creatures.

Not all South African blacks are amenable to the antiwhite hate being broadcast from London by the likes of David Smith and his local emulators. A decade or two ago Muff Anderson of the Johannesburg Sunday Times smuggled AK-47s from London in the boot of her car, dishing them out to any young warlord feeling like a bout of killing. She was widely lauded for this. Gun-smuggling is an interesting sideline to journalism as one creates the news one writes about.

On the other hand, the affable Zulu, President Jacob Zuma, has said some sympathetic things about Afrikaners and acknowledged our right to exist in South Africa. He is certainly for a return to law and order, even while South Africa is being destabilised by barely disguised ethnic and racial propaganda from Britain and those local media who still fawn at the feet of the colonial power.

The only South African politician currently finding favour in British eyes, is Mrs. Helen Zille, leader of the DA and the daughter of German immigrants who is trying her best to pass for English. On the subject of South Africa’s rape epidemic, when the Rape Crisis Centre in Cape Town appealed to Zille for funding, she callously replied: “Get in line – there are thousands of NGOs desperate for funding, all equally needy.” A few weeks later she was in front of the cameras protesting against the gang-rape and murder of the coloured girl of 15, Anene Booysen. Even if Zille’s accent is not quite pukka yet, at least she has mastered British hypocrisy.

Frankly, Oscar Pistorius holds little interest for me. Let him have his soap opera in court. However, we should refuse to let him be portrayed as some kind of archetypal white male or Afrikaner “everyman”, which he is not. I have never even heard him speak Afrikaans in public. Apart from his surname, you could really mistake him for an Englishman. Or a journalist. They have a taste for guns too, especially AK-47s. Just ask Muff Anderson.
