South Africa appears to have learned nothing from apartheid. The oppressed have become the oppressors.
An outspoken Jewish advocate for Israel was shot and killed at his workplace in South Africa by unidentified gunmen who left behind his car, wallet and cellphone.
Sergio Kowensky, the chairman of the Likud South Africa Jewish group, was gunned down Tuesday in a southern suburb of Johannesburg at his air-conditioning firm, according to the South African Jewish Report. The shots, fired at around noon, alerted workers in his factory and others in surrounding businesses.

This is the second such murder in just over two weeks. The Western media has largely ignored this horrific event. What if a prominent pro-“Palestinian” Muslim had been murdered in cold blood? Imagine the outcry from the vile media elites. South Africa is now extremely dangerous for Jews. South Africa’s corrupt government has become blatantly anti-Israel in order to appease its large Muslim voting base, of which many are vigorously supportive of the BDS Movement. In May, the ruling ANC party withdrew its ambassador from Israel for the crime of Israel defending itself against Hamas terrorists along its border with Gaza. The South African government referred to the Hamas riots as a “peaceful protest” against Israel. Physical attacks against Jews in South Africa have increased dramatically, as have attacks on South African social media. Recently a German flag with a swastika in the middle was painted on a wall in Johannesburg.
In June, the South African Jewish Board of Deputies laid criminal charges against three individuals, who have been identified as Muhammad Hattia, Tameez Seedat, and Matome Letsoalo, for posting vicious anti-Semitic tweets. (http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/248223). Unfortunately, the SAJBD’s efforts are a waste of time. The authorities in South Africa are so corrupt, so anti-Semitic, so fearful and dependent on Muslim voters and BDS supporters, that any attempt by South Africa’s Jewish leaders to protect its 75,000 Jews is completely futile. It’s time for South Africa’s Jews to pack their bags and leave South Africa immediately.
World Likud rep. shot in South Africa
Staunch Israel advocate shot, killed, in South Africa brought to Israel for burial.
Israel National News, July 7 2018:
World Likud South Africa Chairman Sergio Kowensky, 67, was shot and killed near an air conditioner factory in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The shooting occurred on Tuesday, outside Kowensky’s Serpini Air Conditioning factory. The murderers did not touch his cell phone, wallet, or vehicle.According to the South African Jewish Report, Kowensky was shot several times before being left for dead on the side of the road.
Kowensky, a staunch advocate for Israel and a prominent member of Johannesburg’s Jewish community, was not an Israeli citizen. He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and grew up in the small town of Moisés Ville in the province of Santa Fe, which was founded by Eastern European and Russian Jews escaping persecution in 1889.
Kowensky is survived by his wife Alison, and their three children, aged 32-42.
It is not yet clear if the shooting was criminal or anti-Semitic in nature.
On Friday, Kowensky’s body was brought to Israel for burial. The funeral will be held at 12:30p.m. in Be’er Sheva.
The incident closely followed warnings by representatives of South Africa’s Jewish community who said they are seeing an uptick in anti-Semitic rhetoric in real life and on social media. Earlier this week, mural with a German flag and a swastika was painted on a Johannesburg wall.
Separately, another Jewish South African, Jeffrey Zetler, a 62-year-old strawberry farmer, was killed on June 23 near Stellenbosch, a city 31 miles east of Cape Town.

Has it ever occurred to the Jews to shoot back?

I am sure had he not been assaulted with live fire, that could have been an option. What Jews in South Africa need are extremely well vetted security forces since it is obvious the SA authority has no desire to reign in the muslim antisemites.

They have no desire to reign in black criminals generally, which is why South Africa is now one of the most violent, crime-ridden societies on earth. This began under Nelson Mandela’s next to useless presidency. A communist to the end, from the outset he supported the PLO’s Yasser Arafat and the Arabs in Palestinian territories – and yet foreign presidents like Bill Clinton, Jimmy the jackass Carter, other politicians, film stars and other nincompoops flocked to pay their grovelling respect to this man who while doing some extraordinary things in respect of reconciliation, and thus an enigma, saw South Africa down its path to dysfunctionality, ineptitude, crime and chaos.

Mandela, Carter, Clinton, Obama, all birds of a feather that flock together to support the antisemite Arafat, and those still alive throw support behind another terrorist in AbbASS and Hamas.

Hamas can never be terrorist when they are indigenous to the land and fight illegal immigration.they are THE HEROES And the Global community sees it as that. You suppose to be Jews and jews are suppose to know how to treat indigenous people to their land. if after anything trial and error. so you failed god, or you are impostors who failed God. fail is fail.the destruction and siege in Gaza is clear proof of failure on the part of those claiming to be God`s chosen.

MOSSAD probably did it.everyone is tired of these cabalist. MOSSAD was put out set out, to die for these perps agendas.HOW CAN MOSSAD kill a Palestinian in Malaysia , and his face and his mask is on the 6 o:clock news , like some thug negro? this is MOSSAD we are talking here. how insulting to them., and many times they were killed ., like when Putin, Netanyahu`s pal., got logistics of MOSSAD and the CIA helping train ISIS militia and on the syrian border.and Putin send fighter jets, and killed them. i wonder where putin got the logistics from ? what are friends for? both Putin and Netanyahu are very lucky men. not smart now., just lucky.

Mahou has a good point.
Jews need to learn how to fight back. South Africa is a very dangerous country. Jews living there should take Krav Maga classes (Israeli self-defence).

I’d say coming soon to N. America but it’s already happened here — when Rabbi Meir Kahane was gunned down in the lobby of a NYC hotel in broad daylight. Then there’s the little matter of Irv Rubin’s strange death while incarcerated…

Kahane deserved that with his fundamentalist rhetoric and desire to deny non-Orthodox Jews equal rights in Israel. His organization has since been designated a foreign terrorist organization in multiple countries including both the USA and Israel. Irv Rubin was on trial for conspiracy related to those acts of terrorism. No big loss!

Only a jihadi will support such murders. Its typical of them. And of course the Lies to justify such murders.
Pro-jihadi democrats are behind it. No surprising when they sold out American/Israeli security for moolah from Iran .
Dems were paid by Iranian lobbyists to support Nuke deal http://tinyurl.com/mcake4d
And their holdovers still support it.

You have got to look at the criminals. federal reserve. [NEOCONS]rabbis sucking on babies penises giving them VD.the IDF shooting into crowds of unarmed people. nothing jewish about this. this is what god punished jews for. this exact type of ill behavior toward non jews,and the jew masses alike.look at what the talmud says about christians// EXTERMINATION OF THE CHRISTIANS IS A NECESSARY SACRIFICE//yalkut 245c/ who is fooling who here? if a black person shop lifts with a crowd of blacks, are not all blacks monitored in a store? one bad apple does spoil the whole bunch. you running around claiming to be chosen and acting like the devil isn`t going to cut it. you practice what you preach. if you are chosen. you love your neighbor , not steal his land. and kill his children. Gaza should have been a Paradise. if indeed. your heart was in your judaism.with all of this money which has been funneled to israel over the decades., the middle east should be in love with israel, and alof its favors to the region.,but israel has used this money to tear their neighbors to shreds,pocket the profits and create strife against and among the jews. zionism is cancer

Was it a Muslim who shot him? I rather think so, there have been acts of violence against Jewish supporters of Israel in the past.

That advocate for Israel was certainly brave to stay in S.Afr. Any whites at all are in danger there, esp. Jews. And the left-wing U.S. media and U.S. showbiz people used to howl about Apartheid? Now it’s crickets ?

Funny. most jews today have no clue about jewish history.while making claims on other peoples lands. god did bless israel/ but he then later cursed them.at one point he wanted them all dead.so the awakening has begin.and human rights violations of indigenous people to any land, is a crime. all adults should have learned this from childhood ,and that good old fashion ass whupping when you didn`t learn, to keep your paws off of other people`s property.to have to become old, and even decades in robbing indigenous peoples land to learn this lesson will be hard. and as one can see,deadly.Ms. Gellar. would it be polite for someone to come into your home, unannounced, and proclaim it as theirs? What about [IF] the real Black Israelites,HERE IN THE U.S.A. of the real Judah tribe., the real Jews. after August 2019, start moving so called jews out of crown heights and moving into their homes. THIS SERIOUSLY COULD HAPPEN.how are these ashkenaz and sephardic converts are going to feel when they are treated as jews treat Palestinians in Palestine ? because the game is up.Trump knows this.Trump`s a Dan`ite.more Israelite than the ones occupying Palestine. which again is not Canaan. you do not know anything about the history of the land?and that of return? the return and the existence of the real Israelites is in Peace.,obeying and abiding by God`s laws. not having homosexual parades and shooting into crowds of unarmed protestors. WHERE IS THE REAL CONVERTED JEW IN THAT TYPE OF CRAP? nowhere.
