In this explosive episode, Paul and Gerard sit down with retired Colonel Tollie Vreugdenburg — former head of SAPS Counter-Terrorism — to expose the chilling truth behind one of the most dangerous domestic terror plots in South African history: the Boeremag.

This white supremacist militia planned to bomb the country into civil war, assassinate Nelson Mandela, and launch a violent coup. But thanks to Tollie and a small team of investigators, South Africa narrowly avoided its own 9/11.

Inside the episode:

• Who the Boeremag were — and why they were more dangerous than you think

• “Document 12”: the plan for a white ethnostate

• Bombings, betrayal, and a doomsday that almost happened

• How the police cracked the plot just in time

• Religious prophecy, survivalism, and apocalyptic racism

• Why this case still matters today

About our guest:
Col. Tollie Vreugdenburg led the SAPS investigation that brought the Boeremag down. A veteran of Limpopo’s Murder and Robbery unit, he was central to exposing the coup plot. He also contributed to The High Treason Club, the definitive book on the case.

This week on Profiler Africa, we go deep into one of the most brutal and misunderstood crime waves in South Africa — farm murders.

Host Paul Llewellyn and forensic psychologist Gerard Labuschagne are joined by veteran detective Gawie “Sakkie” Louwrens, who’s investigated over 300 farm killings. Now retired from SAPS, Sakkie leads an independent rural crime unit taking on what the police can’t — or won’t.

Forget the headlines and political spin. This episode is about the real people living — and dying — on South Africa’s farms.

🔍 What we cover:

• What the stats really say about farm attacks

• Why economics, not race, drives most of these crimes

• Six harrowing cases: torture, arson, air rifles, and more

• The myth of “white genocide” and how it hurts real prevention

• Survivors, families, and the frontline investigators

• What needs to change to break the cycle

🧠 Guest:
Gawie “Sakkie” Louwrens — 26 years in SAPS, former head of Limpopo’s murder and organised crime unit, now founder of Bosveld Misdaad Ondersoeke, an independent rural crime task team.

Who’s really killing who in South Africa?

In one of our most explosive episodes yet, Paul Llewellyn and forensic psychologist Gerard Labuschagne sit down with Dr Chris de Kock, former head of SAPS Crime Research, to pull the mask off one of South Africa’s most politicised crime topics: farm murders.

Forget the hashtags, headlines, and hype. We’re cutting through the myth, the fear, and the politics — and getting to the truth.

• What farm murders are — and what they’re not

• Whether white farmers are being specifically targeted

• Why the “white genocide” narrative won’t die

• What SAPS stats say vs. AfriForum's claims

• How race, media and fear shape the national story

• What needs to change in how we talk about and prevent rural crime

Dr Chris de Kock is South Africa’s former head of Crime Information Analysis at SAPS. For decades, he’s been inside the system — and he knows what the numbers really say.
