To the north, Zimbabwe's Marxist dictator Robert Mugabe has terrorized the nation's white farmers with state-sanctioned land seizures, torture, rape and murder.
"The world community has stood by and done nothing," says Aletta Kloppers, Coetzee's closest neighbor. "So we have no choice but to defend ourselves."
Kloppers explained how rogue blacks broke into her farmhouse and tried to rape and rob her family, which includes four teen-age daughters. Many of the killings of white farmers include the torture, rape and mutilation of women, small children, toddlers and even babies.
"Fortunately, my husband and I were able to use our firearms to drive them off of our land. But they will be back," she told WND.
Kloppers said that she hired a martial arts teacher to work with her family on hand-to-hand combat and knife fighting.
"Our daughters are beautiful, yes, but they are tough, too," Kloppers said. "You won't see the Afrikaner children in tattoos, gang clothes, riddled with diseases and their bodies filled with holes. We are Christians, and we will fight for Christian civilization. We know who our enemies are in the mass media, those who would destroy the minds and bodies of our children. When the war finally comes in this country and through the Western world, the cultural elites will be the first to be confronted. There are many South Africans, blacks, colored, Indians and others who feel as we do. We all want a future for our children."
"We Afrikaners are a fair and decent people. We are glad apartheid is over, and we are ready to embrace change," farmer Kalfi Van der Wat said. Van der Wat collects antique automobiles and stores them on his farm west of Johannesburg.
One of the latest problems facing South Africa's farmers is that some of the farm killings appear to be drug-related. South African police say that Pakistanis have bought up several farms after the white owners were killed and began planting poppies of Central Asian origin.
"South Africa's dirty little secret – well, there are many dirty secrets here – is that we are the transit point for 25 percent of the world's drugs," South African policewoman Debbie Botha told WorldNetDaily.
South Africa's farmers, frustrated with an apathetic government that actually seems to "cheer on the killings of whites," says Van der Wat, have turned to a variety of options in dealing with the crime wave.
Self-serve law enforcement
One option is the creation of private security companies, staffed by former elite special forces operators of the now defunct South African Defense Force. The SADF drove out Cuba and the Soviets from Angola in the 1980s and is known to have produced some of the world's finest soldiers.
Several groups of farmers have sought the help of Executive Outcomes, led by former Apartheid-era SADF special forces members. EO is the world's largest, private mercenary army and has fought in Angola, Sierra Leone, Papua New Guinea and other nations.
Yet despite their best efforts, the killings continue.
