I've just been listening to Jared Taylor's white supremacist podcast over at Amren and he made reference to a photograph, and possibly video, of a black Botswananian police officer executing an innocent white guy in front of the Western media some time in the 90s. He described it as the most harrowing thing he's ever seen.
Any ideas which incident he was talking about? Links?
That happened during the so-called
1994 Bophutatswana Crisis in South Africa.
Here is a time-stamped section of a documentary with running commentary about what happened in the lead-up to the execution. I remember seeing the full video somewhere, but it seems like it's been memoryholed due to how shocking it is, and now this documentary section is the most complete version of the footage I can find. It has the audio of the execution, but cuts to still images when the shooting starts.
You can skip the rest of the documentary; it's your typical Boer-bashing piece. Here's what really happened:
Boph was a Bantustan in SA, ruled by a black tribal president, whose authority and status were backed by the Afrikaner Nationalist government, in exchange for keeping his tribal subjects in line and under control, and not going into the townships and stirring up trouble and getting tangled up in ANC-instigated political unrest.
In the transition from white-rule under the Nationalist government to black-rule under the ANC, all the Bantustans like Boph would be abolished and absorbed into SA, and the president of Boph would have been stripped of his power and status, while his subjects would gain some freedoms to work and own property outside of Boph.
The Boph president sought to preserve his position and independence, and he refused to integrate with SA and forbade his people from taking part in the 1994 general election that would bring the ANC into power.
The Boph people revolted against the president, whose position as a vassal of the Afrikaner Nationalist government was now threatened.
Now the AWB enters the scene. The AWB (Afrikaner Resistance Movement) is often described as a scary, evil, reactionary white supremacist Afrikaner militia group, but in truth, it was a glowie-infested controlled opposition group of useful idiots that was successfully used to poison and discredit the perfectly reasonable and conservative Afrikaner Volksfront coalition, which was in favor of a more orderly and incremental transition to black-rule of SA instead of the corrupt ANC takeover and looting that we got.
The AWB vowed to support the Boph president against his revolting subjects, and they sent lightly armed convoys of AWB volunteers into Boph to help restore order and put the president back in power. There's some disagreement about whether they went into Boph uninvited and at whose invitation, but when the heavily armed black soldiers and policemen of the Boph Defence Force mutinied and joined the revolt and started shooting at the AWB convoys, it became clear that the AWB was way out of its depth and had to withdraw its convoys.
At this point, one of the AWB convoy vehicles was badly shot up by mutinous Boph soldiers, and the 3 wounded AWB men inside the vehicle crawled out and surrendered in front of a large group of live TV crews, photographers, and journalists.
The 3 wounded men were being entirely civil and non-confrontational, just lying bleeding on the ground with their hands up, and only speaking to politely and calmly ask the journalists and Boph mutineers to call an ambulance for the most critically wounded and unconscious man while the journoscum hovered around like vultures to get their perfect photo-op of the evil white supremacists lying at the feet of the merciful black mutineers.
This went on for a long time, maybe 10-15 minutes, with the 3 guys bleeding out and the journos hovering around, when without warning, a mutinous Boph policeman walked up with his rifle and shot all 3 men multiple times, execution-style, and after they were dead, shot them again and kicked their bodies, in plain view of the live TV cameras. This basically amounted to a war crime (killing wounded and surrendered/compliant, non-resisting, non-fleeing men in cold blood) and soured an otherwise perfect photo-op for the journoscum, and I suspect that's why it's been so thoroughly memoryholed.
The brutality of the killings was bad to those who saw it in person that the photographer who got the best photos and who broke the story ended up committing suicide about a year later due to the trauma of the incident (
source video on the photographer's story, and some additional still shots of the shootings).
In the end, the mutinous policeman got amnesty from the SA government on the grounds that the killings were not politically/racially motivated, since supposedly the man's family was shot at by an AWB convoy earlier in the day.
