Like Elon Musk, fellow Pretoria-born businessman Henke Pistorius – the father of convicted murderer Oscar Pistorius – has sided with AfriForum’s claims that there is “racial discrimination” towards white people.
The mining and property developer shared his views on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show this week. In it, Morgan also spoke to several other South African commentators: Dan Corder, Sophie Mokoena, Gareth Cliff, and Ernst Roets.
Race relations, legislature, farm murders, and Julius Malema singing Kill The Boer were hot topics during the episode.
OSCAR PISTORIUS’S DAD SHOWS SUPPORT TO AFRIFORUM, ELON MUSK AND ‘WHITE GENOCIDE’
Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Henke Pistorius was asked if he believed that “white genocide” existed in South Africa.
The father of Oscar Pistorius told the UK TV personality: “No doubt about that. No farmer is in a position where they can rely on protection from authorities.
“No one can run away from the truth, and it was high time that certain things had to be seen and accepted”.
Pistorius insinuated that police crime statistics could not be trusted as they “certainly have an agenda to protect. I would advise you not to rely on that.”
Instead, he added: “If you want to get the correct figures, you should speak to organisations like AfriForum and people that represent the interests of white farmers.
The multi-millionaire businessman touched on Elon Musk’s claims that “race laws” stifled their companies, using the example of Starlink, which has rejected the BEE local shareholding legislation.
He continued: “The support one gets to put these projects in motion is very bad, because of your skin [colour]. They quickly ask you what percentage do you have of black representation.”
Of President Cyril Ramaphosa defending anti-struggle song Kill The Boer, Henke Pistorius added: “It is clearly a call to total anarchy. We have uncontrolled criminality and murderers, people who should’ve been exposed to a wonderful education programme. Instead, they have squandered billions and have not done their jobs.
“It’s totally criminal”.
INSIDE THEIR WEALTHY FAMILY BUSINESS
Unlike many South Africans, the Pistirus family has wealth abounding through their business empire. In fact, Investors Hub stated that Oscar’s father, Henke, and his uncles and aunts collectively own over 100 active companies.
The family’s wealth emanates from Oscar’s paternal grandfather, Hendrik Pistorius, who has four sons: Theo, Arnold, Henke, and Leo. He also has three daughters: Sonia Grobler, Heidi Drew, and Reine Malan.
The main company – H Pistorius & Co. – is a family business that is involved in the processing, mining, marketing, and distribution of agricultural and industrial limestone.
Arnold Pistorius owns Twin City, a company responsible for developing, letting, and managing commercial properties around South Africa. He also owns several shopping malls and tourist resorts in SA and Austria.
According to The Witness, Henke – Oscar’s dad – is involved in property development and mining businesses.
Reports indicate that Leo and Theo have businesses in transport, armoured vehicles, and property development, both in South Africa, Austria, and Mozambique.
Additionally, the brothers own private game reserves, a ski lodge in Austria, a mine in Limpopo, and residential and leisure property developments. They also own big game hunting companies and an air charter company.
