In the early hours of Friday morning, the ANC/Communist-controlled political police unit struck again at homes of several Boers known for their opposition to the ruling Regime. Once again, the recent political bombing campaign blamed on the Boeremag was given as reason for the searches and some arrests. While some controversial Boer activists of various persuasions and groupings were again targeted, many other Boer men, women and children were harassed, abused and intimidated by the black policemen.
 
At Stellenbosch University, police stormed and searched the house of Professor Willie van der Merwe and his wife Lettie at 3 o'clock in the morning, accusing them of keeping and manufacturing explosives in their home. Nothing was found.
 
In Pongola in the eastern Transvaal, Schalk Mostert was 'hit' at 5 o'clock in the morning, again without a warrant. Again nothing illegal was found.
 
In Josini in Natal, a white defence force officer, Captain Gary Manors, was arrested after he had handed in a bag with explosives found near his house inside the army base where he is staying. His commanding officer, Chris Botes, expressed his indignation and colleagues even described Manors as 'leftist'.
 
In Klerksdorp, Dr Tinus Maartens, his wife and their children were invaded at 04.30 in their house and searched. Nothing was found except a handgun belonging to his brother in Botswana, who cannot keep it there and normally locks it up in his brother's safe. For that, Dr Maartens was arrested, charged and released on 2000 Rand bail.
 
And in Balmoral near Witbank, Willem Ratte, a former SADG officer running a Museum and currently engaged in the building of a private training centre for Boer youths, was arrested and released on 1000 Rand bail for the possession of one pair of police camouflage trousers... These he kept in storage along with dozens of other SADF and police uniforms either on display in the museum or in storage.
 
The Conservative Party (CP) accused the police of victimising and humiliating Afrikaners. It expressed disgust at the questioning and search of Werner Weber, CP executive member and chairman of the Agricultural Employers' Organisation. "The investigation of Mr Weber was but one of several such cases in the past four weeks," CP leader Ferdi Hartzenberg said in a statement.
 
Even leftist, Regime-supporting spokesmen and their media have expressed serious reservations about the continuing harassment of whites by the ruling Regime's police. The Afrikaans Sunday newspaper Rapport admitted that the raids only serve to strengthen the so-called Boeremag's case. It pointed out the hollowness of the ruling Regime's claims that 'Operation Hopper', as the raids are called, was a 'success', and that the police should stop bragging and rather concentrate on catching whoever is responsible for the bombings.
 
Meanwhile, the Azanian (New SA) Regime's representative Joel Netshitenzhe had claimed on Thursday that police believed they had destroyed whatever infrastructure the Boeremag organisation had. Briefing reporters in Pretoria on Wednesday's final Cabinet meeting of the year, he said the Boeremag featured briefly. "The police are on the trail of those not yet arrested.," he said. "Our security forces are on top of the situation."
 
Independent observers have questioned a statement purportedly issued by the Boeremag threatening more violent attacks over the festive season. An e-mail claiming to originate from a Boeremag spokesman was again quoted by Regime and Regime-supporting media, which hinted state buildings would be among its targets, and called on private businesses to remove themselves from such buildings. In spite of the fact that internet experts have confirmed that it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, for a state intelligence agency with the resources available to the Azanian NIA not to be able to trace such e-mails to its source and whoever is behind it, nothing is ever heard of even an attempt to find, identify and arrest him or her. The suspects reportedly seen by the public during the recent Soweto bombings were also never identified and available identikits were never published.
 
In a message to 'fellow-believers', Dr Theunis Botha from Pretoria has called on Boers to sign a constitution wherein violence is pertinently excluded. This follows, according to Botha, the wide-spread practice of agents-provocateur, who instigate and organise violence, and receive huge sums of money to deliver others into the hands of the ruling Regime's state police. He mentions the example of such agents walking away with over 200 000 Rand each for provoking the Worcester and another bombing. He also points out that from the 18 Boers recently detained and refused bail, there is not one convinced follower of the so-called 'Israel-Vision creed', which is taken by the purported Boeremag spokesman sending out e-mails as the basis of their beliefs.
