Written evidence submitted by Adriana

(a)
In regard to the testimony submitted by Prof James
Barber and Professor David Simon, 9 December 2004 in Public
Questions 1-83: (New evidence submitted herewith)
I am submitting this video of a 2003 broadcast
on the South African Broadcaster "Carte Blanche" programme;
the contents of which were clearly unknown to Prof. Simon and
Prof. Barber. This documentary by the award-winning documentary
producer Susan Puren shows clearly that these farm attacks are
not motivated by greed—frequently valuable articles such
as jewellery are left behind on the scenes of these crimes. Their
information that mostly "white" Afrikaner farmers were
targeted also is highly inaccurate; many black owners of farm
land also are murdered, often with their entire families, over
land disputes mostly.
Our website, http://www.censorbugbear.com, has
collected a large body of evidence in this regard over the past
three years, submitted by journalists inside South Africa. The
South African police has also published a new report on their
website, http://www.saps.org.za, from the "independent commission
of inquiry into the farm attacks" appointed by Pres. Mbeki.
This information also seemed unavailable to your expert witnesses,
even though it is freely available on the internet. Moreover,
a complete list of names of farm attack murder victims, provided
by the SA Police, is updated regularly on the following website;
also run by unpaid volunteers in South Africa:

Thus far, 1,591 farm dwellers have been killed
in such armed attacks, people of all racial backgrounds who are
being targeted by organised groups of young African men who often
steal nothing at all. This violence is being described by a leading
world expert on genocide, Dr Gregory Stanton of "Genocide
Watch" in the US, as being in an advanced stage of genocide.

*I am submitting these website addresses because
I believe in not using to much paper. I hope that the Members
of your committee will access these websites and download these
reports themselves—and thus view these reports as written
evidence submitted to your hearing.
The "Carte Blanche" programme may
be further highlighted by the journalist Susan Puren who did all
the interviews and research. Her email address is purens@lantic.net
The SA police farm attack report may be read
online at: http://www.spas.gov.z2/farmat/index.htm
This investigation had also found that in certain
cases, "the farm attacks are being carried out with considerably
more violence than routine robberies elsewhere and that this is
due to racial hatred". Futhermore, the illegal land occupations
by the Landless People's Movement and other NGOs are on the increase
and also lead to farm attacks and murders and "this was a
matter of large concern", this independent report stated.
I apologise for this hand written submission
but this is due to circumstances beyond my control.
