Black street racers kill four in Soweto

Two black men who killed four teenagers while allegedly drag racing in Soweto were expected to appear in the Protea Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.

The blacks, one of whom is a well-known hip hop artist, were racing down the road which runs between Protea Glen and Protea North when they smashed into four boys walking home from school with two other friends.

The teenagers, aged between 17 and 19, were killed on the scene when the two Mini Coopers collided.

Metro police spokeswoman Edna Mamonyane said: "It is a two-way street and one of the cars went into the other lane, driving in the lane of oncom...

South African government 'contemptuous of anti-white farm murders'

South African government 'contemptuous of anti-white farm murders'

“The Minister of Police, Mr. Nathi Mthethwa’s remark at a conference of AgriSA, that the Police views farm murders merely as crime, confirms that the government is contemptuous with regards to farm murders. The Police are quick to view certain crimes, such as cash-in-transit robberies and the bombing of ATM machines, as priority crimes and then plan strong counter actions. Why are these crimes then also not just viewed merely as ordinary crime? The Minister and the government are shying away from farm murders, precisely because there is a strong element of anti-white acism involved,” M...

Zuma objects to 'judging of traditions'

Using one's own culture to judge others is unconstitutional, President Jacob Zuma said on Tuesday.

Opening the National House of Traditional Leaders, Zuma used the opportunity to call for a debate on the "issue of a national moral code".

"I've said I'm going to initiate a national conversation on the moral code, on our values as a country," he said.

"We say we are united in diversity. That's what we say. We need to unpack the diversity. What do we mean when we say this.

"Scholars and many people have been interpreting us for decades;  our culture, our traditions. Some look down upon certain tradit...

Jeffrey Imm's Race Fundamentalism

An open letter

Dear Mr. Imm,

You probably know as little about me as I do about you, living on different sides of the planet. However, I was one of the invited speakers to the American Renaissance conference that had to be cancelled after you and other left-wing groups had harassed the hotels concerned.

I was practically on my way to the airport for the 19-hour flight from Johannesburg to Washington when I had received Jared Taylor's e-mail informing me that the conference had finally been cancelled, with the Capitol Skyline Hotel also succumbing to pressure from yourselves.

As an Afrikaner from S...
