The Price Of Free
Speech In South Africa

By Jani Allan
7-12-4


Jan Lamprecht's website (http://www.AfricanCrisis.org) has the greatest cyber library of Southern African horror on the internet. His site features ugly photographic and video evidence of the brutal farm murders that are happening in South Africa with increasing sadism and regularity.
 
This week, after a campaign of intimidation by the ANC government Jan Lamprecht announced his decision to take his site down.
 
The closing of the http://www.AfricanCrisis.org website this week, is a sinister signal of what lies ahead for South Africa under ANC rule.
 
For four years Jan Lamprecht, a white ex-Zimbabwean, has been running one of the most hard-hitting hard-news sites out of Africa. Lamprecht's news items included not only what was happening in South Africa, but also the crucial and terrible events in Zimbabwe and Namibia. Apart from CensorBugBear.com (which covers mainly SA) http://www.AfricanCrisis.org was of major significance.
 
As a prominent British journalist puts it:
 
"AfricanCrisis.org is an historic document, a work - or disaster - in progress. Reading African Crisis is like watching a nation going off its head, en masse."
 
The site is uncompromising. The stories of rape, torture, corruption, political abuse and murder made the site compelling reading.
 
Agony is always rivetting viewing.
 
Lamprecht's site became internationally recognized as the site of choice for those wanting information, not the Disneyland version - the real information - about what is happening in South Africa. As evidenced by his postings, he was drawing forumites of the highest calibre from Canada to Belgium.
 
Jan Lamprecht, who lives in South Africa, ran AfricanCrisis unpaid and as a sideline. Journalist and webmaster, his sole purpose has been wanting to get the truth out to the world about what is happening in South Africa.
 
In addition to running the site Jan Lamprecht fearlessly authored a book called 'Government by Deception' (Tiger Maple Press.) The book provides a damning insight into the psychopolitics employed by the Marxist-Communist ANC and its brothers to the North.
 
Lamprecht, known for his blunt, editorial comments, developed an extensive following internationally. His contacts and range of influence embrace people of great influence and all walks of life. One supporter and close friend is Jeff Rense, the legendary American Talk Show host whose show boasts 17 million listeners. Jan was a regular guest on Rense who is known to be sympathetic to the plight of white South Africans and virulently opposed to Mugabe's Marxist regime.
 
Six weeks ago Jan Lamprecht set up a web page forum for this writer.
 
"Since I gave Jani, a household name in South Africa, a voice on my site the problems started," says Lamprecht.
 
"Her forum was immediately inundated with people expressing tremendous HATRED of her, trying in every way possible to hurt her. When Jani Allan was interviewed by Jeff Rense in the USA with his huge, huge listenship - that was the turning point.
 
The ANC went so far as getting someone from the Sunday Times (the paper on which she was the leading columnist for a decade) to discredit Jani and what she had said on Rense. Meanwhile, the audio tape of the interview found its way on to hundreds of websites all over the world, including, ironically, Pravda.
 
A friend of Lamprecht who holds a senior position in TAU (Transvaal Agricultural Union), wrote to him saying "By giving Jani a platform you have angered the movers and shakers... WATCH YOUR BACK!"
 
For the past two weeks, Jan has been subjected to personal Intimidation and threats to close his website.
 
Lamprecht and his close colleagues have proof that an ANC/Govt propagandist/s were assigned to his website to cause trouble and make suggestions that could result in the website being labelled as a "terrorist" site.
 
Ten days ago, Jan warned that he would not tolerate his site being abused by people engaging in 'war talk' or spewing racial hatred.
 
'My site is the only site in the world which allows people from opposing sides of the political spectrum to exchange views and hopefully learn from each other.'
 
However on the 8th July Jan Lamprecht informed his closest colleagues and associates in an encrypted message that he had decided to freeze the website. ANC spies have been monitoring the http://www.AfricanCrisis.org website, his private e-mails and telephone calls.
 
"They are letting me know, via the posts, that they know where I live, who is close to me...they even have my cell-phone number. I have been receiving threatening phone calls," he said.
 
Jan Lamprecht is still wondering "Is it Jani Allan that they want gone from my site?"
 
"All this heat that has come my way, from all these angles, have occurred one after the other in only the last few weeks since I gave Jani Allan a forum on my site and since she was interviewed by Jeff Rense. The things that came from that interview have unquestionably angered powerful people.' Obviously I've done something to truly piss them off in a big way - methinks its getting Jani on my site, and that interview that finally ticked them off enough."
 
A former Special Forces contact outside South Africa said that he feared the worst for Jan Lamprecht. 'He could be taken out any day.'
 
The South African Constitution claims to ensure Freedom of Speech, but clearly there is nothing free about speech in Southern Africa.
 
In a country where the media are craven ANC lap-dogs. Jan Lamprecht's was the only site courageous and responsible enough to give the world the information that the ANC is so intent on concealing.
 
Yesterday, Larry Pratt, an influential voice in American politics for the past 30 years and founder and director of Gun Owners of America had this to say.
 
"It seems to me that Zimbabwe II is but a short time away. The duplication of the firearms laws is too similar. The farm attacks are already escalating. Business is tanking, but all of this is of no concern to socialists who want control. They will be wealthy even while 99.9% of the rest of the population are totally impoverished.
 
Remember Germany in the 1930's? That is when the Jews who understood the signs of the times acted in time. The others paid dearly for hoping that "that will never happen." The only alternative is to shut up and be a good boy. But they (the Communist Marxists) have memories. They will evenutally come for those who had bad attitudes in the past. With them, there is no forgiveness. That distinguishes them mightly from God."

I know the hell that Jan Lamprecht must be going through.
 
I have had personal experience of the SA government's methods of dealing with the voices of dissent i.e. those who are intent on telling the truth. My flat was bombed. After doing some radio shows with Jan Lamprecht in which we discussed Mugabe's reign of terror and the Zimbabwe land grabs, I was held up at gun-point with a Magnum .44 and fired from the radio station because 'there is no place for the likes of Jani Allan in the New South Africa." Finally I was forced to flee South Africa.
 
It is my fervent hope that the death of AfricanCrisis will make the world sit up and notice. I implore all readers of this story to e-mail it to your friends, post messages of support on my page for this fearless warrior of the spirit whose crime was to tell the truth about South Africa.
 
ALUTA CONTINUA IN THE DIASPORA JAN LAMPRECHT!
