IMPORTANT NOTE FROM JAN: VIDEOS: SHORTS AND SUMMARIES: Special Videos on request from YOU!
I am quite happy to do SHORTS or SUMMARIES of important videos that you think might reach a wider audience if I did something shorter. Just contact me and give me a list of videos, even really long ones, like 6 hours, if you want a SHORT or a SUMMARY. Then Ill fit it into my schedule and that way, in some weeks I might release a normal video plus a short or summary.
[Poor Harry. I feel sorry for him. He made stupid decisions, but his heart was in the right place. He believed in God and was trying to fight for the Whites. But life is nasty, and when you play at the top, you have to be very clever. Life is a ruthless game. So he gets a horrific jail sentence and will die in prison no doubt. There are many Blacks including serial killers who will be out of jail quickly. Meanwhile this White man will rot in jail until the end of his life. I'm sorry for him despite the fact that he made silly decisions. He is one of us. He tried. At least we can say that others were cowards, but Harry was NOT A COWARD. Jan]
The leader of a right-wing terrorist group has been handed two life sentences.
He was found to have planned terrorist attacks on black South Africans.
Ammunition and firearms were found during his arrest.
The leader of a right-wing terrorist group has been handed a hefty sentence for plotting attacks against black South Africans.
The Mpumalanga High Court sentenced The National Christian Resistance Movement leader Harry Johannes Knoesen, 63, to two life terms and 21 years behind bars for terrorism-related offences.
The court heard that he had planned to carry out the attacks, using biological weapons in some instances, between December 2018 and 28 November 2019.
It also heard that Knoesen had a deep-rooted hatred for people of other races and that he used religion to justify his beliefs.
National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Monica Nyuswa said:
He sought to justify his beliefs on religious grounds, claiming that God had ordained that he should reclaim South Africa for white people. These highly racial views were his motivation to decide to overthrow the government, and indiscriminately kill African people.
"He planned to attack government institutions and more specifically, police and military institutions. He also identified townships and informal settlements occupied by African persons as targets for attack."
Knoesen took over the organisation and appointed himself commander-in-chief, giving himself the rank of general, Nyuswa added.
"He explored the possibility of using a biological weapon to infect and kill members of the African population. He also had discussions regarding [the arrangement of] training in urban warfare," she said.
He was arrested on 28 November 2019.
Documentation relevant to the planning of the attacks and information on the members of the organisation were found during the arrest. Digital devices were also seized, along with weapons and ammunition.
Knoesen was charged together with brothers Errol and Eric Abrams, who pleaded guilty to the crimes and were sentenced.
