Why is Basson not pursued with the same vigour as Zuma and Ace?

The LAND Party wants the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to prosecute Dr Wouter Basson for his crimes against humanity in South Africa and Namibia. The LAND further asks the Health Professional Council of South Africa to appeal the ruling of the Gauteng High Court which found HPCSA to be biased against Dr Wouter Basson.

The LAND believes that the same argument that was used to prosecute former president Zuma must be appled to prosecute Dr Wouter Basson who killed millions of black people by infecting them with AIDS and other serious biological chemicals.

The fact that the HPCSA was found to be biased against Dr Wouter Basson, does not change the fact that he committed crimes against humanity, particularly black people. The LAND asks the National Prosecuting Authority to show the same energy they have shown to bringing former president Zuma to book to Dr Wouter Basson aka Dr Death.

The LAND have received information that Dr Wouter Basson is transferring his skills to the younger Afrikaners generation at an undisclosed location in the Western Cape. He was also paid my Medi-Clinic to mentor 4th-year university students at Stellenbosch University, and is a practicing cardiologist. Dr Wouter Basson is not, and never has been, remorseful and shows no empathy about his heinous crimes.

The LAND also asks president Ramaphosa to show the same commitment to holding former apartheid killers accountable as he is to his fight against corrupt leaders. Only when Dr Wouter Basson is successfully prosecuted will the LAND Party believe that the charges against Zuma, Ace Magashule, and many others are not just another political purge.

The LAND further asks the National Prosecutors Authority to appeal the judgement by former retired Judge Willie Hartzenberg to dismiss all charges against Dr Wouter Basson.

The LAND believes a judge that presided over apartheid crimes like retired Judge Willie Hartzenberg was not fit to preside over the Dr Wouter Basson case. Judge Willie Hartzenberg was part of the apartheid South Africa and presided over injustices against the majority of people of South Africa. The LAND strongly believes that there is no former apartheid judge that could have given a fair trial and not put the interests of justice in prosecuting his apartheid accomplices like Dr Wouter Basson ahead of those of the people they had been trying to mass murder.

The LAND does not ask for amnesty for those who have been criminally charged like former president Zuma and his accomplices but wants the government to act with the same vigor against Dr Wouter Basson as soon as possible.
