EDITOR – Jeff van Belkum and Councillor Andre Beetge must think your readers are deprived of intellect.
Since my letter to you stating that Van Belkum is an albatross around Beetge’s political neck, the councillor has in discussions with me stressed that he hardly ever has communication with Jeff.
Obviously my comment and its implications has hit home to our employee Beetge and resulted into Van Belkum’s letter attacking the DA leadership ranging from race card accusations to Heinrich Hiemler’s opinion. All this to camouflage the attempt to distance the relationship between Andre and Jeff who are as close as the comic characters Mutt and Jeff.
I do not want to waste column space in your paper so I will get to the point and state Beetge and boetie Van Belkum are joined at the political hip supported by Diane Kohler Barnard.
FRANK HORN
A waste indeed
EDITOR – While it is no secret that I seldom agree with Mr Horn’s interpretations, far be it for me to argue his own admission that this submission is actually a waste of column space.
CLLR ANDRE BEETGE
Focus on your role
EDITOR – I note from his latest tripe-trip, that Frank Horn says he “does not want to waste column space in your newspaper…”
Yet he has done exactly that.
One understands the fellow’s need to be abusive as that is what one expects from the ANC. He has from time-to-time tried to create a link between Cllr Beetge and Jeff van Belkum but why does he even bother? I’m not a member of the DA but even if I was, so what? Hardly a matter of great significance.
Horn says we are attempting to ‘camouflage’ the relationship. Now that is an interesting choice of words, coming from an avowed anti-white white, in effect, a veritable chameleon.
Fact is, Horn and his comrades are unable to grasp the basic tenets of democracy. The tragedy for this country is that they don’t care and are beyond shame. They do however understand abuse, in all its forms.
I think Horn’s time would be better spent recovering the mega-billions his government and its myriad compadres have filched. This is actually money, stolen direct from the very people most in need. It would take a brave ANC member, but perhaps he could try and instil standards and values in his failed government. Or, given that the government itself constantly undermines the institutions of law and order, perhaps Horn could find the time to visit the victims of crime, the thousands of families traumatised by violence and murder. The ANC is after all directly responsible for the nature, the degree and the extent of crime in South Africa.
