Members of PRAAG (Pro-Afrikaans Action Group) demonstrated in front of the magistrate's court in Koster against genocide and violence on Afrikaners. The accused in the murder of Mrs. Marthie Erasmus applied for bail. Early in December, the 63-year old Mrs. Erasmus was tied to her bed and executed with a 16-pound hammer.
PRAAG displayed banners with photos of Ban Ki-moon, FW de Klerk, Jacob Zuma, Julius Malema and Nathi Mthethwa. The slogan underneath Ban Ki-moon said: "UN approves of Afrikaner genocide 100%."
The alleged killers were tried in camera with no media or members of the public allowed in court as one of the accused is apparently a minor.
Dr. Dan Roodt, leader of PRAAG, declared at the court: "The fact that the murderers are tried in secret is a travesty of justice. This shocking murder represents the latest in a series of ethnically and racially based executions that are currently taking place in our country. We appeal to the international community and the United Nations to put a stop to the systematic annihilation and expulsion of our nation."
Roodt was also critical of recent remarks made by Mr. Paul van Staden, the grandfather of two-year old Willemien Potgieter who has become a symbol of Afrikaner suffering and genocide over the last few weeks. "Mr. Van Staden does not like Afrikaner protest and 'resigns himself to what has happened'. But it is not God's will that our children, mothers and fathers should be exterminated. If Mr. Van Staden believes that, he is guilty of a 5000-year old Egyptian myth entailing divine determinism."
"The Afrikaner must not resign himself to the execution of our children, nor to what looks increasingly like genocide," Roodt continued.
In the meantime, PRAAG has reliably ascertained that little Willemien Potgieter was picked up by her hair and "shot in the head at adult height. This appalling act of violence, as well as the hammer murder on Mrs. Erasmus, must not go unpunished," Roodt said.
