Nothing is sacred anymore.
Durban - The Roman Catholic Church has been forced to close its viable dairy farm in Mariannhill outside Durban because brazen criminals robbed it endlessly, the church said on Tuesday.
"We have decided to close our viable diary farm because it was increasingly becoming a weak point in terms of security," said father Gideon Sibanda.
The farm, which is a stone's throw away from the Mariannhill monastery, had been robbed ten times in the past few years. The last robbery in January was the final straw, he said.
A group of about 10 gun-wielding criminals assaulted Konrad Diethei, a monk responsible for the farm, and stole more than R10 000 in cash.
The robbers also entered the monastery demanding cash and valuables such as laptops from the priests.
The incident left monastery residents shocked. They unanimously resolved to get rid of the farm.
Risking lives
Sibanda said more than 60 cows had been sold already and the rest would be sold as soon as possible.
"We decided to cease the whole operation which included making yoghurt, selling calves and milk, because it was clear that we were risking lives of our people," said Sibanda.
He said the church could not afford to improve security on the farm to prevent more attacks.
"It is a major blow to us as a church because the farm made the church self reliant and also helped to generate employment for many people for more than 30 years.
"This is how crime affects institutions such as churches," he said.

The Roman Catholic church was particulary active in sabotaging the White government by giving shelter and funds to terrorists as well as transporting this worthies around. It pleases me therefore that they get what they have ask for. Phuck them.
That's what bothers me about the Catholic Church - if something's wrong in a catholic country they don't give a shit, but in a Protestant one they are up in arms. They helped terrorists in Northern Ireland, but let priests bugger kids in the catholic South.
They said nothing about Franco or Salazar, but give out shit to the US over it's perfectly rational death penalty. They produced Mugabe and Hitler and said fuckall about what they got up to for kicks. I dread to think what they did in South Africa ..
Two priests were murdered within ten days recently. It doesn't matter what religion priests or vicars or monks are, they are a soft target for crime.
How about this? The original Kafr 'religion' - one who has no religion, is alive and well in the Bantu Culture:
"At least 50 high school pupils were rushed to the Ladysmith hospital on Thursday after many suffered from dizzy spells and "fits", KwaZulu-Natal police said.
Captain Charmaine Struwig said police were called to Windsor Secondary School where around 50 pupils had fallen ill.
"The children exhibited symptoms of dizziness, had difficulty breathing, fainting and in some cases the children had fits."
The pupils were taken to hospital for treatment.
"Blood tests will also be conducted to determine the source of the problem," said Struwig.
None of the patients was in a serious condition, she said.
The rest of the school pupils had been sent home."
This is becoming more regular, in the traditional Bantu Regions of the country. Is God a little peeved that the Bantu have been given the whole sub-continent by the money-men of the West?
Roman Catholic and Anglican Priests have long been involved in spreading the power of the Bantu for two reasons:
1. both denominations of Christianity support Imperialism (and are financially backed by the Jewish Banks), over the Independent Nations' Republics (as supported by Calvinism)
2. both have wished to wipe out any trace of Calvinism in Africa (the purest form still exists in Boer beliefs)
@Anon 10:31: No, it's got nothing to do with God.
"A similar incident was reported at Mahlenga High School in northern KwaZulu-Natal in 2007.
"Classes were disrupted when pupils began crying and screaming.
"The staff and pupils believed there were evil spirits at the schools and prayer meetings were held."
They simply chimped out.
What's this? Open season on Anglicans and Catholics?
If any denomination of Christianity is ridiculous it's Calvinism. Afrikaner women sitting with their ridiculous outdated hats in the Much Deformed Church listening to crap about how only the Afrikaner has a right to existence.
And the stuff dominees get up to ... here's an example:
Church stands by dominee
A Pretoria church came to the defence yesterday of a married dominee linked by a Sunday newspaper to sex crimes accused Cezanne Visser, dubbed Advocate Barbie.
"The report is incorrect in so far as it refers to and insinuates that Cezanne Visser is in a relationship with the 'blonde man'," the N G Church's Elardus Park congregation said in a statement.
"The 'blonde man' ... is our colleague, Dominee Johan Claassen. Dominee Claassen is assisting Visser on a spiritual level, and with our full knowledge and prior support from us and his wife."
The Rapport newspaper printed a picture of Claassen and Visser walking together and said the two had "cooed intimately" and smiled at each other "lovingly" in court. The newspaper described Claassen as the new man in Visser's life.
The congregation, in its statement, said Visser had been "touched by God" in a service led by Claassen.

I see in Anon 12:28 we have another tool of "the Gold hunters". Just like those priests who told Dingaan to "Kill the Boers" who in fact came in peace!
Hi,
I'm Anon 10h35 and I wasn't having a go at all Catholics and Anglicans.
In fact, I'm a confirmed Anglican, BUT I have realised that the Anglican and Catholic Churches (as in the organisations and not the sum of the worshippers) are tools for the Western Banking families.
There is a financial reason behind everything the "core" of these religious movements does.
As for anon 10h28, all I can say to you is "every religous movement will have individuals who fall" BUT Calvinism as a denomination stands for nothing but good.
I would be lying if I said the same of my church (or Catholocism)!
@Anon 02:48 What priests told Dingaan to kill Piet Retief? Are you telling me a bunch of Anglican and/or Catholic priests were hanging around Dingaan telling him to kill the boers? That's the first time I heard of this. Where did you get this information from?
The problem with the Catholic church is that its stance against contraception and abortion has seeped into other churches as well. If you read the manifesto of the Freedom Front you will find that they are anti abortion. This in a country where we need radical birth control measures, with abortion freely available to poor women who can't or won't use contraception. Even if a woman is better off, she should not be forced to have more children if she doesn't want them.
The influence of the Catholic church has also seeped into the ancestor worshipping Moriah church your maid goes to - if you still have a maid. You too can have your maid turn up at work one day with a newborn baby on her back, even if you didn't notice she was pregnant - what happens is that their daughters become pregnant at a very early age and the mother pretends to the employer that it's her child. So much easier to put the daughter's squawling baby on her back while she does the dusting. You tell her to piss off with her baby and rely on UIF for 4 months, and then it's CCMA time with the maid crying that the church told her to have more babies, even though she's lying about whose baby it is in the first place, not that you care, you just don't want this shit around you. And if you don't want that shit in your life you shouldn't feed blacks with Christian beliefs in the first place.
When the Chinese recolonise Africa they may well resort to the same birth control measures for Africans as they have done with their own people. If you can't afford to pay a penalty for exceeding your child quota, you get dragged off to an abortion clinic.
The Freedom Front's new manifesto dated 28 February shows that they have taken away their anti abortion stance.

"Those priests who told Dingaan to kill the Boers."
I think you may be getting mixed up with H. Rider Haggard's story about an evil witch doctor called Vilakazi who told Dingaan to kill Piet Retief. It's an Alan Quartermain piece of fiction. Dingaan the Vulture killed anyone and everyone for the fun of it, much like Mugabe. The Boers were trekking into Natal to get away from the British in the Cape. There weren't any British missionaries in Natal at the time Retief was murdered.
The gold rush only started in 1886 when gold was first discovered in the Witwatersrand. Retief was murdered in 1838.
Anon 5:31:
Rev. Owen and his secretary (lay-minister Wood)
In Woods own words: " we had nothing to fear as Dingaan saw the Boers as "Tagati" (wizards) but we were not"
Owen had told Dingaan they were wizards, 'Whites from Africa', as opposed to 'Whites from the Sea' (I forget the Zulu word right now but it means "white froth" from the sea) which was their name for the British.
Owen's task was made easy by the fact that the Boers fitted in to the Nguni (indeed Bantu) concept of 'the Ancients' who were indeed 'white' but from Africa, and in possesion of super-powers!
@Anon 13 March 2009 10:01
Of course. The 1820 British settlers. I checked out Rev. F. Owen's diary on the internet, and this is what it says about what he was told about Dingaan's premeditated attack on Retief's party:
"February 7th.—In the morning two Indoonas with an attendant called. One of them patted his breast, a common gesticulation of friendship. No Indoona had ever been to the station before and they asked to see the hut, waggon, etc. They were remarkably civil. They had been sent by the king to inform me that it was not his intention to kill either me or the other missionaries, for we had come into his country by few and fews he could live in peace with us, for we were his people. All George’s peoples meaning the British were his, i.e., he liked them, but the Amaboro were not his people: nor where they George’s. He said that all the armies that came into his country should be killed, that the Amaboro (Boers) were going to kill the king: they had come like an army and had fallen into a passion with him. Many other causes were then assigned for their slaughter, as that they had not brought Sinkoyella and his people prisoners. Some of the other reasons I could not well understand nor did I trouble myself about them as there was but one true reason, the dread of their power and that the whole was a premeditated preconcerted plan of Dingarn who was anxious to see in order that he might butcher them all at once, I cannot now have a reasonable doubt, tho’ I could not imagine previously that his designs were so treacherous. The thought frequently entered my mind but I rejected it. I said little in reply to the king. I remarked that I had come into his country only to teach the Book: that I was not a fighting person, as those who taught the Book in my country did not handle the gun."
He then goes on to say what a scheming bastard Dingaan is.
He was the only surviving witness of Retief's company's murder. But it does not seem from his diary that he incited the Zulus to kill the Boers. The Zulus thought the Boers were getting too strong for them.
"But it does not seem from his diary that he incited the Zulus to kill the Boers."
Of course his diary wouldn't admit it. Wood's diary raised suspicions, which some Boers already believed.
Remember the Boers had fled the Eastern Cape after Britain had tried to include them in "The Empire".
Actually, most 1820 settlers, were grateful to the Boers (in the Eastern Cape) for showing them how to farm there etc. (this was long before Britain started the Xhosa Wars, which led to Xhosa Colonisation of the Eastern Cape) In fact many of the British "free settlers" were opposed to the British yolk being extended over the Eastern Cape and joined the Boer Voortrekkers.
Owen, however was under orders from the Church and the British Colonial Gov. based in Cape Town, and he arrived in Natal via Port Natal.
It was only in the 1940's that the British brought settlers to Natal, after King slipped through the Boer lines at Port Natal and rode to Grahamstown to let the British Colonial Government there know that if the British army and navy were not sent to Port Natal right away, the British would probably never be able to conquer the Boer Republic of Natal!
So yes, there were 1820 settlers with the Voortrekkers (they were themselves Voortrekkers) BUT Owen was NOT one of them. He and Wood were living at the Zulu Capital, when Dingaan invited the Natal Boers to Zululand to discuss how much of the vacant land (both that left vacant by Shaka's Mfecane and the land below the Berg that the Nguni had never settled) they could have for their New Republic!
"Of course his diary wouldn't admit it. Wood's diary raised suspicions, which some Boers already believed."
In other words, no evidence at all but lots of suspicion!
Thanks for the history lesson, some stuff there I didn't know.
- it seems that Dingaan didn't need much excuse to slaughter anybody..
I think the British were very worried about the boers moving into African (particularly Zulu) territory for fear that they would be drawn into the inevitable resulting conflict. Which is exactly what happened, of course
