A small group of "Boer"-extremists under the leadership of Mr. Piet Rudolph disrupted the Volksraad Verkiessing Kommissie meeting held at Paardekraal on Krugersdrop last night. A follower of Mr. Rudolph stormed down on Mr. Paul Kruger of the VVK and started beating him in the face till the blood splattered. A bleeding Mr. Kruger subsequently made a call for unity, considering the threats being faced by the Afrikaner volk; and the need for transparent leadership.

From the beginning of the meeting, Rudolph shouted interruptions while the ten candidates standing for the VVK election clarified their positions should they be elected to the Volksraad. Despite these interruptions, the meeting ran smoothly and there was a high degree of unity among the candidates and the audience about the struggle for survival for Africaners and the need for visible Afrikaner leadership.

At the very end of the meeting, without any provocation Rudolph's henchman attacked Paul Kruger at the microphone, beating him in the face while he was handling the audience's questions.

Most of the people who attended the meeting, voiced their disappointment with the unsolicited attack on Mr. Kruger and expressed their opinions that it reflected badly on all Afrikaners. Mr. Jaco Mulder of the Freedom Front Plus, who was also present in the audience, described it as a "reality TV show" attack, saying: "It surprised me that Piet Rudolph is still at large, because he causes trouble wherever he goes." According to Mulder, Mr. Kruger has already received death threats from "Boer" extremists in regards to his role in the organization of the Volksraad for an Afrikaner People's Assembly Elections.

In contrast to the behavior of Rudolph and his accomplice, Kruger treated Rudolph with great tolerance, including providing him with time to make a speech. During his speech Rudolph accused Kruger of "doing a new thing" and that the restoration of the Boer Republics was the only possible political solution for the country. He also attempted to create suspicions surrounding the VVK, and alleged that Mr. Kruger had a hidden agenda.
