Daily Maverick Journalist: Ivo Vegter Endorses Persecution of SA citizen and Censorship of Media Corruption & Scientific Journalism Campaign

Dear Mr. Brkic,

Mr. Ivo Vegter writes: “Oh dear. Now I'm part of a "media mob", endorsing persecution and covering up corruption. http://bit.ly/kjbkAg @dailymaverick”; in response to my comments on Daily Maverick News Article: Open Letter to the Directors of Afriforum, by Xhanti Payi.

I am unaware whether Mr. Vegter wishes to be perceived as an ignorant moron imbecile; or an honourable scientific critical thinking problem solving investigative journalist. Perhaps he can clarify which he wishes to be perceived as.

SA Media and Mr. Vegter’s Endorsement of SA citizens Persecution:

Please could Mr. Vegter inform me where he or any other SA journalist or SA media publication disputed Dr. Brad Blanton's -- founder of Radical Honesty, former candidate for US congress in Virginia in 2004 and 2006 -- allegations filed in the High Court (WC: 19963-09) regarding South Africa’s legal and political persecution of myself (PDF).

Please could Mr. Vegter clarify which statements he or any other journalist in SA have disputed as being untrue; and if none; where he or any other journalist in SA have voiced their objections to the legal and political persecution of a member of the Radical Honesty culture. Or does Mr. Vegter believe that endorsing the ‘rule of law’ means you only endorse the rule of law for people in your own mob; not for those you dislike or whom you disagree with; they can be persecuted and denied the right to free and fair trials and their constitutional rights?

The 17 March 2010 Report: 140 SA Editors, Politicians, Academics et al confirm they are Deliberately Indifferent to the Rule-of-Law; have No Objections to SA Governments persecution of ‘Radical Honesty White Refugee’ (“RHWR”) (PDF) was provided to the Daily Maverick, on Wed 3/17/2010 4:31 PM (PDF).

Respectfully,
