Pistorius' Father Accuses South-Africa Of Racism by free13: 11:21pm On Mar 05, 2013
On Sunday, Henke Pistorius came out and blamed the ANC government for failing to protect white families while also revealing that he and other members of the family owned a total of 55 guns to protect them from criminals.
"Some of the guns are for hunting and some are for protection. It speaks to the ANC government, look at white crime levels, why protection is so poor in this country, it's an aspect of our society," he told the Telegraph.

"You can't rely on the police, not because they are inefficient always but because crime is so rife."
In response, Arnold Pistorius, who is Henke's brother and Oscar's uncle said in a statement: "Oscar Pistorius' family is deeply concerned about the comments made by Oscar's father, Henke Pistorius, to the Telegraph about the family using its weapons to defend themselves against crime in South Africa, [b]and especially about his comments that the ANC government is not willing to protect white South Africans," he said.[/b]
"Oscar and the rest of the Pistorius family distances itself from the comments. Henke's interview with the newspaper was unapproved by our media liaison team. The comments don't represent the views of Oscar or the rest of the Pistorius family."

The ANC also released a statement declaring Henke's comments "racist."
"The African National Congress rejects with contempt the accusation made by Henke Pistorius (the father to Oscar Pistorius) to a UK newspaper that 'the ANC government is not willing to protect white South Africans'," said their national spokesman Jackson Mthembu.
"Not only is this statement devoid of truth, it is also racist. It is sad that he has chosen to politicise a tragic incident that is still fresh in the minds of those affected and the public. This tragic incident has affected two families that are still trying to come to terms with what happened and this latest racist slur is not assisting these families. We think it is ill-advisable for anyone to start apportioning undue blame.
"The ANC believes that the Pistorius and (Reeva) Steenkamp matter is in the capable hands of our competent courts who are expected to handle the matter objectively and in accordance with our laws. Any speculation can only prejudice the case."

Last month South African Olympic and Paralympic star Pistorius was awarded bail after being accused of murdering his girlfriend Steenkamp.
A South African court granted bail to Pistorius after his lawyers successfully argued the "Blade Runner" was too famous to flee justice.
Prosecutors argued Pistorius committed premeditated murder when he fired four shots into a locked toilet door, hitting his girlfriend on the other side. Steenkamp, 29, suffered gunshot wounds to her head, hip and arm.
Pistorius said the killing was a tragic mistake, saying he had mistaken Steenkamp for an intruder - and opened fire in a blind panic.

So what has the man's accusation got to do with his white son killing his white girlfriend? Is the man suggesting that the son should not be tried for something, murder, manslaughter, whareva?

I totally agree with henke pistorius.
Black people are the most racist people in the world. And black south Africans are even worse.not only are they racists,they are also xenophobic.
Have you seen what they do to other african immigrants?

I have been to south africa many times. My last trip was last November. And i can testify that those black south africans,especially the political leaders are very racists.

Henke pistorius is telling the truth. White south Africans should open their eyes because those savagez hate them with a passion. If i was a white south African i would do just like henke. Buy my guns and bullets and wait for those savages.

True. Criminals do not dicriminate. Amen to that.
But i was talking specifically about the wickedness of black south africans. Their bigotry and xenophobia is sickening.
Have you seen or heard what they say about other subsaharan africans? Some of my friends escaped death narrowly in some township a couple years ago.my friends were returning from a trip from guangzhou china. They decided to stop for three days in Johannesburg.one morning,they go sight seeing. Oh boy.the mfwetus met them.it was hell to pay.

Unless you are biased, but those people are bigots,they are xenophobic and racists. From zuma to the homeless mfwetu.

^^^^ I'm black south african and I'm not xenophobic, but of coz according to u we all are. Do u always walk around painting evryone with the same brush? I'm wondering if all anti-SA nairalanders like u for instance(I have seen the threads) are a true representation of all Nigerians? Ur frinds were in the wrong place at the wrong time and just got caught in the cycle of violence that SA is going thru. The very mfwetus u talk about have probably mugged and killed many a black south africans before.

I didnt not mention your name. You maybe the exception to the general rule. Also, i am not a Nigerian.never even been anywhere close to Nigeria.

If you are truly a South African woman,then you are either telling a lie about South African bigotry and xenophobia, or you are in denial.
The whole world watched in awe as black South Africans savagely attacked hopeless Zimbabweans and Somalis.they even threatened to do worse.
My friends in Capetown lived in constant fear inside their houses because of these wicked people. My own brother was attacked in midday with knives by a mob of xenophobic black South Africans in 2010. He was rushed to a nearby hospital.

I know those people. I lived with them. They are bigots.

Again,there is a section of other South Africans who do not condone those actions.but they are in the minority.you may be in that group.the few,the proud ones.
But the other millions of xhosas,zuluz,sothos etc... Are very evil. God save us from them.

Wherever you find a multiracial society like Mzansi, you are bound to here people scream racism and reverse racism. Most White people are bitter that South Africa is under black governace and their grand children will not benefit as they did. They never chanted against it during Apartheid when the Nationalist were being racist toward the blacks. Most whites all over the world suffer from Superiority complex that clouds the reality.
