Apartheid death squad boss Dirk Coetzee dies in Pretoria - chairman - 03-08-2013
Dirk Coetzee, one of the most notorious figures of South Africa's apartheid era, has died at the age of 57.
The former police captain ran a covert counter-insurgency unit that detained and killed anti-apartheid activists.
ÂIt operated in secrecy from Vlakplaas, a farm near Pretoria, recruiting black liberation movement members whom it turned into killers.

He revealed the existence of Vlakplaas in 1989 when he was smuggled out of South Africa to write his story.
Coetzee claimed responsibility for the killings of several African National Congress (ANC) members.
He took refuge in London after exposing the group in an interview with a liberal Afrikaans newspaper.

Once he was in exile, he joined the ANC, where he was known as Comrade Dirk with allegiance to Nelson Mandela, and himself became an assassination target for the white-minority government.
He later returned to South Africa and joined the post-apartheid spy service after Mr Mandela became president in 1994.
He was later convicted of murder, but granted amnesty by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 1997 when he publicly confessed to murdering a Durban human rights lawyer, Griffiths Mxenge.
However, Coetzee failed to reveal the place where another activist, Sizwe Kondile, had been buried after being killed and burnt.
Coetzee was central to many secrets of the apartheid era, but in giving him amnesty for his crimes, the Truth Commission found that he had simply been following orders from higher-ranking security police commanders.

Hmm... the English language media is doing whatever it can to portray the Afrikaners (Dutch) as the bad boys in South Africa, while painting the British whites as "civil rights champions".
However, the truth is that apartheid was invented by the English speaking whites, who just used the illiterate and the mostly rural living Afrikaners to implement it. 90% of the wealth in post-1994 South Africa was controlled by the Anglos, despite forming just 4% of the total population (one-third of the white population).
Once ANC won the 1994 elections, most of the Anglos packed up their bags to UK and Australia. But the Afrikaners have nowhere to go and many now live in slums.

I am sure much of that is true man! but what concerns me is the ANC itself and how it has morphed into oppressor.
the solution to poverty for all ordinary people is revolutionary change that places the stage of the day in the hands of the people to deploy in the interest of all.
that is the answer, the only positive one the stage demands. only the people in democratic movement can bring out that positive state of affairs
that is our test of existential worthiness. we revolutionise society or humanity goes extinct by the atrocious activity and results of capitalism on the human body and on the human environment
