In a fiery statement released to the Afrikaans media and published on praag.co.za, dr. Dan Roodt of the Pro-Afrikaans Action Group (PRAAG) has rechristened the "repulsive New South African media" as the "Medialema", a compound of media and Malema.
This follows on the front-page publication yesterday of an allegation that a used condom was found next to the body of murdered AWB (Afrikaner Resistance Movement) leader Eugene Terre'Blanche in newspapers of the Independent Group, as well as Naspers websites.
The allegation was later in the day categorically denied by Captain Adele Myburgh of the South African Police Service.
Roodt called on all Afrikaners to boycott printed newspapers whose "vile and unethical motives" were the same as those of Julius Malema whom they had previously castigated for evicting a BBC journalist from Luthuli House.
PRAAG said: "Respect for the dead man and his family counted for nothing in the publication of a sordid concoction on Terre'Blanche in bold print on front pages. Any sane person would have thought that such a bizarre claim of homosexual rape by a relatively elderly man who had undergone heart surgery two weeks ago was far-fetched at the least. But no, a low-IQ newshound smelling scandal is as unstoppable as a salivating scavenger on his way to rotting carrion. Of course, yesterday's smear tactics against someone for whom 30 000 Afrikaners had travelled to Ventersdorp were partially motivated by their hatred of the Afrikaner."
Roodt singled out The Star and reminded readers that the Johannesburg paper had incited war against the Boers in the 1890's and had opposed the introduction of an Afrikaans high school in Johannesburg in 1917 with the sarcastic remark in a leading article: "There is something rotten in the state of Denmark."
"The Star's current hate campaign is not only directed against Eugene Terre'Blanche and his grieving family but against every Afrikaner," said Roodt. "In any other country the offices of such a newspaper would have been burnt down or destroyed by a bomb. However, the decent, courteous, civilised and law-abiding Afrikaner is the ideal enemy because we meekly endure everything and simply stand perplexed in the face of the baseness and vileness of our centuries-old enemies.
"However, there are limits to the tolerance and law-abidingness of even the Afrikaner. Our enemies will still find that out."
He continued: "If it were not for the independent new media like praag.co.za, we would have rejoiced with the rest of the lunatics yesterday in their foul smearing of a dead man unable to defend himself."
Roodt ascribed the apocryphal homosexual rape story to African logic which translated Malema's song dealing with "Boers who are rapists" into a fabrication about Terre'Blanche who had used a condom to rape his young assassin. "The rapist, the Boer, was thus killed."
"We are no longer dealing with politics but with anthropology," Roodt concluded.
South Africa has the highest incidence of rape in the world. Bestiality and child rape are also common. However, most of these crimes are committed by black South Africans and not by Boers or Afrikaners. Rape by white men is a relatively rare phenomenon and on the same level as in Western Europe. The singing of songs in which Boers are described as rapists by ANC politicians and supporters does not, therefore, refer to real crimes, but is meant to incite crime and violence against whites and Boers.
