In April 2009, Van den Bosch discovered the bodies of his father Johannes, 63, and mother Jacobi van den Bosch, 60, on their dairy farm at Mooiplaats, eastern Pretoria. Yesterday, he asked the North Gauteng High Court to sentence the murderer of Dutch dairy farmers, Akhona Gini, 27, to life imprisonment and punish the killer as severely as possible. He told the court “I found them. It’s so unreal. You are so paralyzed you’re even surprised that the sun is shining”. “Law-abiding citizens want to be safe in this country,” he added.
The prosecutor Jennifer Cronje argued, that the murders had clearly been committed out of pure revenge as only the victims’ cell phones were taken.
“You go through stages. You have no appetite for life any more. You don’t care what happens and you become reckless. I don’t think there is anyone in the world who is born to go through something like this,” Van den Bosch said. According to his statement, the death of his parents had overwhelmingly affected him, 11 of his siblings and their 31 children. “My parents had a dairy farm that served their immediate community. The dairy closed the very same day after their death.”
Gini had formerly worked for Van’s parents in their farm and six months before the incident he was fired after a robbery at the farm. He, out of the revenge, murdered his former employers and robbed their keys and cell phones last month.
Judge Cynthia Pretorius delayed the trial for sentencing to Friday.
This couple were working in their dairy early in the morning, milking the cows, when this ex-worker arrived with a knife and slashed them to death. One must keep in mind the useful function these farmers perform in South Africa: a country with more than 55-million people yet only 21,000 food-producing farmers. The SA State already owns 65,000 of the original so-called ‘white-owned farmers’ since 1994 – but the ‘new black farmers’ who were given this very fertile land, which represents more than 60% of all the ARABLE farm-land in South Africa (a very dry and semi-desert country) – are NOT producing any access food on this ‘newly-redistributed’ land. All the food produced inscomment_IDe South Africa itself comes from these ‘white-owned’ farms. Johannes and Jacobi van den Bosch were a deeply devout Dutch Protestant couple who believed in treating their workers fairly and with dignity. What your reporter failed to mention is that Mr Gini had also threatened Mrs Van den Bosch during a previous occasion, had assaulted her, and that she had become terrified of him. The couple lodged a charge against Gini but the police dcomment_ID not pursue the charge at all. Under these circumstances, this man deccomment_IDed to go and murder employers who had, from all accounts by other workers and neighbours, had been very fair with him: provcomment_IDing him with proper housing, a living wage, health insurance and in addition also with daily meals from their own table. Moreover, the land they ‘occupied’ was just a few hectares in total. They were harming no-one by their presence – on the contrary, the Van den Bosch couple were contributing to the economy, paying taxes and provcomment_IDing workers with a living wage. Nobody deserves to be murdered. Rest assured that they have gone to heaven. And I have heard that Mr Gini is facing a lifetime in one of the worst prisons in the world – he will be living in a hell on earth. May justice be done.
