South Africa: Apartheid mass killer who ‘hunted’ black people says police encouraged him | BBC News


A convicted South African murderer who shot dead dozens of black men during apartheid has told the BBC the police sanctioned his violence.

Louis van Schoor says others should share the blame for the killings he carried out as a security guard.

Over a three-year period in the 1980s under the country’s racist apartheid system – which…

  1. Digging up the past BBC to feul hatred? South Africa has a complex history and the full story is never told by the media, what about all lives that were effected not just Africans, tribe vs tribe, English vs Dutch/German, the boar war, dont just listen to the bbc go fact check from multiple sources, SA is a mess currently due to mass racism but its not Europeans vs African, its African vs African too, Peace to all my brothers and sisters, the rich want us to fight!!!!

  2. This story here will have racist in America praising him i think the comments should have been blocked and a warning put on this page that is sick no way in hell would that monster be allowed to walk around free in America he wouldn’t be safe they would be forced to lock him up for his own safety and even in a prison he will not be safe

  3. I bet 100 percent Elon Musk is protecting people like this. While African American music artists all buy his truck unbelievable. People should see this in America.
    Elon is for this stuff he speaks as if he is for this kinda hate. As i understand his family was on not on the side of Nelson Mandela
    I dont see how this murderer criminal is safe in Africa how long does he last before they come for revenge if that was my people he did that too he would be top of the list to get no expense spared

  4. Africa is the 'Black" people's continent. It doesn't and never did belong to Europeans. The sheer audacity of it! Going into other people's lands and demanding that other people serve them and give them their land.

  5. Apartheid was fundamentally a capitalist-based economic system of minority domination that involved both the business and political elite, supported in large part by foreign, larger economies and of course those foreigners that came to live in our country post the implementation of apartheid to benefit from the minority dominated economic system, which includes a number of British citizens (but I guess they're not being interviewed on why they CHOSE to move to a neo-Nazi economic state as opposed to this man who was BORN into and shaped by the system…conveniently). The erasure and twisting of history and current affairs through propaganda in schools, during conscription and in media, the daily abuse, killings, torture was a means to an end, that is to maintain the economic system and the ways it served a minority group (and foreign interests) through exploitation and undermining of a majority group. However, before BBC South African journalists hold up single members of the system as targets for rage, however traumatic the pain that was caused by their actions, I would take this more seriously if a closer look was given to the geopolitical financing structures that kept a minority dominated economic system in place after apartheid ended. So, will you talk about the terms of the IMF loan during the 1990s transition, the Investor State Dispute Settlement system and how it dictates govt policies, and then how, if at all, foreign development aid was misused to maintain and extend foreign and/or domestic corporate power at the expense of the ordinary middle and working class; domestically, can you talk to us about the extent of and abuse of tax avoidance like tax havens and company share structuring, government lobbying, high wages gaps between executives and average workers coupled with reliance on fixed-term contracts, below-inflation salary increases, the abuse of retrenchments to maintain profit streams, cartels for price fixing, union busting, the expansion of corporate-owned land at the expense of much-needed equal access and corporate-employer and state-employer driven murders etc. Do NOT manipulate tens of millions of black, white and brown lower-middle and working class people to turn on each other, when the business and political elites are still very much responsible for failing trickle-down economics and class and racial inequality, which in SA is largely one and the same thing. This is not journalism that holds the system and true power to account. This is just lazy sensationalism meant to keep the middle and working class distracted, this journo should be ashamed. This man, lower-middle class, is a product of the system he was born into. The system was economic. How is that exploitative, exclusionary system STILL to this day maintained and propped up by ruling classes at ordinary people's expense and promised freedom from the past? You're wasting our time here with your dangling of this "look at the monster" piece. Nxha!

  6. Hi from SA…You know SA won't move forward as people like your news crew,keep on harping on Apartheid…Why don't you keep your forked tongues to yourself,and allow our country to grow…
