The
following article, of the 2001, is available on many websites. The
author, as indicated by that websites, is a black journalist named
Vusile Tshabalala.
August 2001 – At the start of the year
1900, the number of African South Africans [the author in all that
article use the term “African” refers – albeit improperly – to blacks.
Ed.] was found to be 3,5-million according to the British colonial
government census. By 1954, our African population had soared to 8,5-million — and by 1990, there were a full 35-million of us — all carefully managed, closely policed, counted, shunted around in homelands |
[separate independent states. Ed]
and townships — and all of us chafing
and griping under the suppressive yoke of the Afrikaner Broederbond’s
rigid racial segregation system.
During apartheid,
our population [the author intends the blacks. Ed] grew apace however
because we also had the benefit of the Boers’ medical knowledge and
their excellent agricultural skills.
Our population growth and our
average life expectancy in fact showed us Africans in South Africa to be
in better than average health when compared to other Africans on the
rest of the continent: in the decades prior to the official policy of
apartheid, (which was started in 1948), the average life expectancy of
African South Africans was only 38 years.
However, during the last
decade of the apartheid era from 1948 to 1994, our average life
expectancy had risen to 64 years — on a par with Europe’s average life
expectancy. Moreover, our infant death rates had by then also been
reduced from 174 to 55 infant deaths per thousand, higher than Europe’s,
but considerably lower than the rest of the African continent’s.
And
the African population in South Africa had by then also increased by
50% percent.(source: “a crime against humanity: analysing repression of
the Apartheid State”, by Max Coleman of the Human Rights Committee).
Deaths due to political violence during apartheid:
Max Coleman’s authoritative book analyses all deaths due to political violence from 1948 to 1994 in South Africa and Namibia.
According
to the HRC statistics, 21,000 people died in political violence in
South Africa during apartheid – of whom 14,000 people died during the
six-year transition process from 1990 to 1994. The book lists the number
of incidents, dates, and those involved.
This includes SA Defence Force actions, for instance the 600 deaths at Kassinga in Angola during the war in 1978.
Of
those deaths, the vast majority, 92%, have been primarily due to
Africans killing Africans — such as the inter-tribal battles for
territory: this book’s detailed analyses of the period June 1990 to July
1993 indicates a total of 8580 (92%) of the 9,325 violent deaths during
the period June 1990 to July 1993 were caused by Africans killing
Africans, or as the news media often calls it, “Black on Black” violence
– hostel killings, Inkatha Freedom Party versus ANC killlings, and taxi
and turf war violence.
The activities of the Civil
Cooperation Bureau as outlined by the Truth and Reconciliation
Commission, were also included in these figures.
The security forces [of the RSA. Ed.] caused 518 deaths (5.6%) throughout this period.
And
again, during the transitional period, the primary causes of deaths
were not security forces nor white right-wing violence against blacks
[just think that the AWB was allied with the IFP (Zulu). Ed.]
, but mainly due to “black-on-black necklace murders”, tribal conflict between the ANC-IFP, bombs by the ANC and PAC’s military wings in shopping centers, landmines on farm roads, etc.
After apartheid:
The
present Aids-HIV epidemic — against which the Mbeki-regime [Thabo Mbeki
is an historical member of ANC. From 1999 to 2003 he is been president
of the capitalist-communist
empire that has imprisoned all nations of southern Africa. Ed.]
undertakes no action and still is publicly failing to properly
acknowledge — the World Health Organisation estimates that more than
6-million African South Africans will be dead within the forthcoming
decade. And the Mbeki-led ANC regime, which could have undertaken a huge
prevention campaign such as Uganda’s a long time ago, has done nothing
to stave off this terrible death rate.
SA hospitals “becoming places of death”
In
November last year [2000. Ed.] it was being reported in The Star that
South African hospitals are becoming places for dying — instead of
healing.
In June this year [2001. Ed.] , it was reported that our
cemeteries were filling up so rapidly that upright funerals were being
contemplated to save space.
Still, Aids is not being spoken about at
our funerals, and the silence and utterly unscientific public statements
about HIV-Aids from Mbeki’s continue unabated while our people are
dying.
Democratic Alliance spokesman Jack Bloom warned late last year
that the 20% rise in deaths over the past four years among patients
treated at Johannesburg Hospital could only be blamed on the high crime
rate and the very serious decline in patient care. Why is our patient
care so poor now, and our crime rate so high? The answer is simple: our
public funds are being looted by the ANC hierarchy. And the police seem
helpless to stop it.
Tuberculosis funds looted:
On July 10, 2001,
the SA health department announced that it was going to stop
R6,6-million in annual funding to the SA National Tuberculosis
Association because of the ongoing looting of its funds and the lavish
lifestyles of its (African) executives, who award themselves R400,000
annual salaries and spend R5000 a month on cellphone calls alone… while
millions of South African TB patients go untreated and are wasting away
of a deadly, but curable disease.
During apartheid, please note that
the SANTA executives were seen to be extremely frugal with the
governments’ funding — that many thousands of patients were cured
annually, and that many doctors and nurses even VOLUNTEERED their
services free of charge.
The question is this: “why is this man still CEO of SANTA? Why has he not been fired on the spot?”
Violent deaths from 1994 to 2000:
And the SA Police reports this month [August 2001. Ed.] — access their website’s statistics at http://www.saps.org.za — that a total of 174,220 people died violent deaths, from crime-related violence [or related to hate-crime against whites, and especially against the Boers. Ed.], between 1994 and the year 2000.
