Scores of black-racist job-rights protestors in Rustenburg dragged out the only white (Afrikaans) woman from her car – she was waiting to be ‘pay a fee’ to be let through at their roadblock -- took her near the Nr 2 shaft of a Rustenburg platinum mine, and gang-raped her ‘in protest’ at the fact that they were jobless...
These tribal groups from Rustenburg were gang-raping innocent women and girls in ‘protest’ against the fact that the platinum mine had bused in 17,500 Xhosa-speakers from hundreds of km away in the Eastern Cape – while ignoring job-applications of better-skilled people with mining experience from their own town. The condition of the gang-raped woman remains unknown…
The ANC-government controlled SA news media did not mention these revenge-rapes when writing about the ‘protests’ at the platinum-mines: however News24.com had the ‘courage’ to publish a ‘blog’ by a well-known trade-unionist negotiator -- who wrote:
“I actually growled with tears flooding down my cheeks. I still can’t get my head around it: women and girls raped as a form of protest…’

3000 mineworkers gather at Implats: chase off, terrorise 100 black-African shopkeepers: Rustenburg, Impala Platinum Mine, Lonmin: - Nearly 100 foreign business owners have been displaced after their shops were looted and vandalised during a strike at the Impala mine in Phokeng, North West police said on Sunday. "Approximately 32 shops were looted, belonging mostly to foreign nationals in close proximity to Freemanville, close to Impala mine," said police spokesperson Brigadier Thulani Ngubane."The owners are now staying with friends and relatives in Ziniaville, Rustenburg," he said. Ngubane said not all business owners who had been affected had opened cases.He said the situation at the Impala mine and Freedom Park was that all local businesses belonging to foreigners in Freedom Park were looted on Thursday and Friday, said Ngubane.
“NO THIS IS NOT XENOPHOBIA”-- BUT ONLY FOREIGNERS WERE ATTACKED: He denied that the attacks were xenophobic, and he copied the propaganda-claims by the strikers, saying that ' the violence had been targeted at businesses, rather than the foreigners who have a monopoly on shops in the area." On Saturday, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) urged strikers to return to work. Implats has already agreed to re-employ 17,200 workers who were dismissed for striking illegally.
(ed. comment: AS THE ARTICLE ABOVE VERY CLEARLY INDICATES: Most of these workers are Xhosa-speakers from the Eastern Cape.)
The NUM and Implats have yet to discuss the disparities in the bonuses given to miners, excluding the rockdrill operators, and issues of reinstatement. The union said that if Implats failed to meet its commitments when all workers returned to work, it would call a general strike at the company's operations.The NUM appealed to its members to "disregard advice from anti-revolutionary forces in and around Rustenburg", Seshoka said."The NUM strongly condemns the violent behaviour demonstrated by criminal elements taking advantage of the volatile situation and appeals for calm as well as to the law enforcement agencies to make decisive intervention whenever violence raises its ugly head," he said. http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Foreigners-displaced-by-mine-strike-20120219

Also that day, some 3,000 Xhosa-speaking mineworkers from that same mine also chased out 100 African foreign shopkeepers … but the SA cops and the ANC-regime vehemently deny that any of this is in any way due to black-racism or ‘xenophobia’…
