DONOVAN MARX CASE: I BELIEVE THE FOUR ACCUSED SHOULD NOT BE GRANTED BAIL
I believe the four accused in the Donovan Marx case should remain in custody while the case proceeds. I support the State’s opposition to bail. The safety of Donovan, his family and witnesses, and the integrity of the investigation, must receive serious attention.
The four accused who appeared in the Ventersdorp Magistrates’ Court are Phindile Alex Namnagcayi (30), Mothoka Godfrey Mathipa (56), Makema Jan Maishane (53) and Thomas Thabo Mathongtlhong (27).
According to the latest information I have received, the fifth person originally arrested has been removed from the charge sheet and is expected to testify for the State under section 204 of the Criminal Procedure Act.
The case has been postponed to 13 November 2026 for address verification, with bail applications also expected.
Court feedback indicates that accused number one had been living on Donovan’s farm. The State argued that he could not return there if released. Accused number three reportedly has a previous conviction for robbery with aggravating circumstances and spent two years in prison.
These circumstances must be properly examined and supported by evidence before the court. My position is that bail should be refused. The decision rests with the court.
If convicted, those responsible must face sentences that reflect the full severity of this attack.
Thank you again to SAPS investigators, local farm watches, farmers, private security personnel and community members who assisted. Their work must now be followed through with a thoroughly prepared prosecution.
My thoughts remain with Donovan, Louise, their loved ones and the farmworker who was also attacked. Their dignity and privacy must be respected.

Amerykański pilot, ksywa "Whiz", komentuje katastrofę na Florydzie:
„Telefon mi się urywa, więc postanowiłem szybko nagrać filmik. Katastrofa wydarzyła się tuż obok nas, tu w Palm Beach. Jest po prostu porażająca.
Nie słuchajcie nagrania z kontroli lotów. Naprawdę nie warto słuchać kogoś w przerażeniu, kto wie, że za chwilę zginie.
Na Florydzie była fatalna pogoda, to nie był dobry dzień na latanie. Wierzchołki burz i złej pogody sięgały ponad 40 tysięcy stóp. Wygląda na to, że próbowali prześlizgnąć się tuż nad nimi. Były turbulencje i oblodzenie. Wygląda na to, że maszyna się oblodziła i potencjalnie wyszła spod kontroli, doszło do przeciągnięcia.
Ten ogon w kształcie litery T w Learjecie jest naprawdę wrażliwy. Kiedy samolot się przewrócił i zaczął bardzo szybko spadać… zwolniłem nagranie tuż przed uderzeniem i wygląda na to, że nie mieli już ogona, czyli statecznika poziomego. Więc nie mieli szans odzyskać kontroli. Na jednej klatce wygląda nawet, jakby nie było lewego skrzydła.
Spadali więc z wysokości mniej więcej 35 tysięcy stóp. Myślę, że osiągnęli około 550 węzłów, czyli 500 mil na godzinę, pionowo w dół.
Więc do wszystkich zwolenników teorii spiskowych, do wszystkich tępaków: z odrzutowca spadającego pionowo z prędkością ponad 500 węzłów, tuż poniżej prędkości dźwięku, nic nie zostanie. Brałem udział w badaniu kilku wypadków wojskowych, gdzie zostawał kawałek skóry i obrączka. Więc dość teorii spiskowych. Nie został zestrzelony, to nie był dron.
To dziewięć osób, które obudziły się dziś rano w Austin i nie przypuszczały, że czeka je najgorszy dzień ich życia. To po prostu łamie serce.
Możemy sobie teraz gdybać po fakcie, ile chcemy, ale ja dziś nie leciałbym samolotem nad południową Florydą.
I jeszcze szybko: na nagraniu z kontroli lotów słychać oczywiście kobietę. To był pilot niesterujący, rozumiecie? Robiła swoją robotę. Nie wiem, kto siedział za sterami, facet czy kobieta. Teraz to bez znaczenia, wszyscy nie żyją.
Jeden pilot walczył z samolotem, próbując go uratować, ale bez ogona to było niemożliwe. A drugi rozmawiał przez radio.
Niech Bóg błogosławi te dusze i ich rodziny. Wiem, że to dużo, jak na media społecznościowe, ale okażmy trochę serca. I módlmy się.
Whiz, bez odbioru.”

South Africa is out of AGOA. All they had to do to prevent this was to scrap the "nil compensation" expropriation act, condemn "Kill the Boer", prioritise rural safety & scrap BEE.
But the resentment for farmers and whites runs so deep that the ANC would rather cut off the nose to spite the face.

FIVE SUSPECTS NOW IN CUSTODY: EXCELLENT SAPS WORK IN DONOVAN MARX FARM ATTACK
Five suspects, aged between 26 and 56, have now been arrested in connection with the attack on Donovan Marx near Ventersdorp.
Two suspects were arrested on Saturday, 31 October, with a further three arrested today, 1 November, in Promosa near Potchefstroom. The first two arrests were made in the Ventersdorp area.
Four firearms have been seized during the latest operation, two of which police have linked to the attack. Clothing and jewellery were also recovered.
The five suspects are expected to appear in the Ventersdorp and Potchefstroom Magistrates’ Courts on Tuesday, 3 November, facing charges including house robbery, attempted murder and unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.
Congratulations to the Ventersdorp detectives, the Provincial Anti-Gang Unit and the investigating team led by Captain Bonita Dry. Their persistence, long hours and determined investigative work deserve recognition.
I also thank the local farm watches, farmers, private security personnel and community members who assisted SAPS. This is what effective cooperation between police and communities can achieve.
Five arrests in a matter of days are significant progress. The next step is a strong, properly investigated case that can withstand scrutiny in court.
My thoughts remain with Donovan, Louise, their family and the farmworker who was also attacked. Their privacy and the integrity of the investigation must continue to be respected.
Well done to every police officer and community safety role-player who contributed to these arrests.

This attitude where he thinks everyone has to yield to him all the time, is simply evidence of how coddled he’s been all his career.
Everything and everyone having to exist according to his requirements, is just his lifestyle.
