Archive 1953: The muti-murder and cannibalising of Irish nun Elsie Quinlan in South Africa 1952 in 'impromptu protest action by ANC members".
--------------------------------
November 10 1952. Dr Elsie Quinlan and another nun found themselves in a violent Black protest which the police were trying to diffuse. Mike Smith wrote: "At that stage Dr. Elsie Quinlan, (Sister Mary Aidan) a 37-year-old Irish-Dominican nun from Cork who also was a medical doctor, had set off in her tiny black English car to take baskets of food to her black patients in the rowdy South African city of East London. The medical doctor had been in South Africa for 14 years working amongst blacks; trying to curb the enormous black-infant death rate in the Eastern Cape. (In 1952 almost every second black baby died.)Soon she found herself in the township were blacks were rioting while policemen were attempting to control the volatile situation. Dr Elsie Quinlan’s prime objective was to carry out her Christian Ministry but found herself amongst a sea of ill disciplined Black people who had no interest in the Christian Mission. Smith Writes:
“Upon seeing Dr. Quinlan, a young black woman called out, “Here is a white woman, let’s kill her”.
Shouting obscenities, they stopped her car smashed her windscreen in with a knobkerrie and struck at the driver. The Roman Catholic nun folded her hands in prayer. She was pelted with bricks, beaten with sticks, stabbed with a kitchen knife and then set alight.
What happened next is just too horrific for words. The crowd opened up for a young woman brandishing a breadknife. Someone asked, “How can you finish a lady who helped us so much?”
The knife was passed to a youth who cut flesh from the charred body.“I am eating the meat, because I want to get tough, said a young woman. Another began to eat the flesh for fear of being called “a spy”.
While a young man was sharpening a knife against a sickle, a newcomer to the crowd was told, “We are eating the body of a nun.”
One woman took some “meat” to show her child what human flesh looked like; others took the flesh home where they ground it into a fine powder to make medicine (known as Muti).
By nightfall nine people have been killed and several church buildings of the Roman Catholic and the Anglican churches including training colleges built for blacks were burnt down.”
So much for Africa and the ANC who used trash like this to bring their communist utopia to South Africa. Did you know that since coming to power in 1994 over three hundred thousand people have been murdered in a communist bloodbath under the watchful eye of the ANC?
Now remember some people will say ”well that was then”, as if her life and the way she died meant nothing! But the same kind of behaviours are being carried out against minorities even though the ANC has been in power for nearly twenty years. Twenty years seems to be a magical mark for rulers in Southern Africa (eg. Mugabwe) where these pontificating rulers subject minorities human rights violations.
Remember everyone in the International community expects the same level of morality that the ANC demanded from everyone else. hence the war in Bosnia in recent times. Still no help by the international community here because they KNOW this is the way blacks behave in Arica. In any event I hope the ANC will produce a monument in 2012 that is fitting to her work and memory. Rest in peace Dr Elsie Quinlan.

The Africans also spoke of threats against any African going to work today. All seven members of the local executive of the African National Coingress have been arrested.
The SA minister of Justice Mr C R Swart is expected to visit Kimberley to study the situation.
Proclamations were ready in Kimberley yesterday prohibiting for a week all gatherings of more than 20people in the district.
The ban applies also to white people. The damage in Saturday's riots is estimated at several thousand pounds.
Police reinforcements have arrived at Port Elizabeth, where a one-day strike by non-Europeans has been called for today.
The strike was called by the African National Congress in protest against the curfew and ban on non-religious meetings imposed after the death of FOUR Europeans and SEVEN Africans in the Port Elizabeth riots three weeks ago.
Mr Swart has promised that a state of emergency will be declared there if the situation gets out of hand and that the army would then take over."
