SA is unsafe for tourists: lodge owner
GERHARD RHEEDER
HAZYVIEW - A French detective was sent by his embassy to Hazyview following a murder be*cause "the South African Police have turned their backs on crime," said lodge owner Henk Brink.
Brink is a Dutch immigrant who is well-known for having crossed the Atlantic ocean in a hot air balloon with his wife in the Eighties.
He also warned the local police that "no visitor from outside the country is safe".
The warning comes only days after the third murder at his lodge since 2007, on Saturday.
He says he has already reported 49 serious attacks at his lodge to the Hazyview police.
Brink's wife and two daughters have since fled South Africa.
During the latest murder, eight traumatised Australian tourists had to hide under their beds. The murder occurred about 80m from where they were booked in.
The group had only been in the country for a few hours.
Brink said members of the group phoned him at about lam on Saturday saying a woman was yelling frantically.
(insert as snips)During the latest murder, eight traumatised Aus*tralian tourists had to hide under their beds just hours after they had landed in the country.
"She cried out, yelled - begging for help - she fought for the right to live," Brink said.
The police were called and they shot four times hi the air after they could not find anything. The body of the woman was found the next day at a dam nearby.
Her murderer apparently drowned her after a struggle.
Workers had to retrieve the body after police "were standing around with folded arms".
Brink says there is a land claim on the lodge therefore he cannot leave the country. He believes he could himself be murdered before being able to join his family.
Police spokesman senior super*intendent Sibongile Nkosi de*scribed Brink's story as an "isol*ated incident" which he strongly denies as all his "neighbours are also struggling with frequent break-ins". - CNS
