Racial brutality against whites concealed from the media by the ANC (African National Congress)

A few weeks ago, international headlines were made when students of the
University of the Free State gave some hostel cleaners a concoction to
drink, apparently containing urine. Shortly afterwards, the public outcries
about racism and human rights began.

cid:000d01c8b038$38e46b10$6502a8c0@oem973aa8a3f10On the subject of racism,
please read the story of Nico Bruwer (25).

Nico was arrested in Polokwane for reckless driving on the night of 6
January 2008. After he was arrested, he asked four times if he can call his
family to tell them where he was, but they refused. (According to SA Law,
you are allowed one phone call when you are arrested.)

He was thrown in a dirty cell with 25 other inmates. His arms were held and
his head shoved in a dirty pillow, so his screams couldn't be heard - while
he was repeatedly raped and assaulted. Later he lost consciousness from
shock. The policemen on duty didn't once come to check on what was happening
in the cells.
The next morning he was harassed by one of the rapists. Hours later Nico was
released on bail after his family finally found him. He broke down and they
rushed him to hospital where he was admitted and tested for HIV.
Nico and his wife, Rose-Mary (24) was married on 1 March 2008. Nico also
have a son (5). He and his whole family is traumatized by this experience.

What you may not know is that this is the ** second ** time this year a
young white male was raped in the Polokwane Police cells.

Why am I asking you to forward this? Because this is also racism. This is
crime in its worst form. Yes, what happened at UFS was despicable, but
nobody was PHYSICALLY hurt. But because it was ** WHITE ** students doing it
to ** BLACK ** workers, everybody made a huge deal about it. Now that a
white male was raped by black criminals while in police custody, virtually
nobody knows about it. No big cries from overseas condemning this absolute
disregard for human rights or basic human dignity. Nico Bruwer's whole life
will be forever influenced about what happened that night. But because he
is ** WHITE **, nobody cares.

But you should care. Think about your husbands, sons and brothers. Forward
this to as many people as you can. Let this email travel all over so that
the whole world can see what is ** REALLY ** happening in South Africa.

Lets show the world that we are sick and tired of the hate, the war and the
lack of respect for humans and their lives.
Oh, and don't forget the absolute disgrace of what the SAPS have become -
they who are supposed to keep us safe.
Yes, they recently wasted their time assaulting students in Stellenbosch and
ransacking pubs for 130g of dagga. But a rape in Police cells goes
unnoticed.

And while you are doing this, please say a prayer for Nico Bruwer and his
family. Ask God to give his wife strength to support her new husband during
this terrible time. To give them peace, wisdom and dignity when they surely
do not feel like they have any. And that his HIV test comes back negative,
because he already has so much to deal with, and he does not need this added
to his pain.
