years ago in south africa, during the eighties, there was a spate of kidnappings involving young girls, eventually it came out that the person involved was a man called gert van rooyen and his girlfriend, joey haarhoff. in the past week, after heavy flooding due to a massive spring tide, several bodies have been discovered, concealed under the dunes.
Not just two, but three and possibly four schoolgirls, kidnapped by paedophile Gert van Rooyen 18 years ago, may be buried under the sand dunes at Umdloti on the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal.
That is according to a sworn statement purporting to be a truthful account of how Van Rooyen travelled to KwaZulu-Natal to dispose of the bodies of three of five missing school girls, 18 years ago, and then later a fourth.
The statement refers to five girls, although police suspect six were victims of Van Rooyen.
The mystery disappearance of the six between 1988 and 1989 was back in the spotlight this week after two set of bones were uncovered beneath a beach road that was undermined after record high seas pounded the KwaZulu-Natal coast recently.
According to the almost two decades-old statement, which now has a chilling ring of truth, a fourth girl was murdered because Van Rooyen "didn't trust her", and buried with the other three at Umdloti.
Dismissed at the time by police as a "pack of lies", the statement gives a chilling account of Van Rooyen's alleged travels to Umdloti to "bury" children.
After his last trip to Umdloti, and cornered by police near his Pretoria home, Gert van Rooyen shot his partner Joey Haarhoff and then turned the gun on himself.

here's a brief outline, look carefully at the bit that is highlighted (my emphasis.)
Paedophile Gert van Rooyen killed his mistress, Joey Haarhoff, and then committed suicide in Pretoria while being pursued by the police. Van Rooyen and his accomplice and lover, Joey Haarhoff, were linked to the disappearance of five girls between 1988 and 1990. They allegedly kidnapped Joan Horn (13), Odette Boucher (11), Anne-Marie Wapenaar (12), Yolande Wessels (12) and Fiona Harvey (12). The girls were never found. The couple's last victim escaped from Gert van Rooyen's house at 227 Malherbe Street, Capital Park, Pretoria, and their death occurred less than a week after her escape.
Flippie van Rooyen, the son of Gert van Rooyen, alleged that the girls had been killed as part of satanic rituals and that their bodies had been burnt with acid, or that they had been taken to the Middle East. He also alleged that three former National Party (NP) ministers had been involved in a child smuggling network with his father that involved selling girls for cash. However, no ground was found for this allegation.
In 1996 Absa Bank donated Van Rooyen's former house to the police for the purpose of investigating the girls' disappearance further. It was believed that the victims had all been taken to the house after their disappearance. On 13 May 1996 the police began demolishing the house in the hope of finding clues as to the girls' fate. First the roof was removed and vacuumed for traces of human hair and nails, after which the walls were demolished and the kitchen and main bedroom scoured with sonar equipment for secret compartments. The soil was sifted and forensic specialists determined that the bones found at the scene were from animals.
In 1989 police excavated Van Rooyen's garden and swimming pool, but no evidence was found. Police also investigated the possibility that the girls' bodies may have been buried near the Zandfontein cemetery in Hercules in northwest Pretoria, but no evidence was found.

so what you may say, well i would've been quite interested, but not half as interested as i am, having found this piece by credo mutwa during an interview :
I am told, reliably, that over 1,000 children disappear in South Africa, almost every month. And they disappear, never to be seen again. Many people, especially in the newspaper field, think that this is the result of child prostitution rackets. But I do not think so. The children-if you check the history of many of these children, they were not ordinary street children, sir. They are school children who stand out in their class, because of certain subjects at which they are good, or, who stand out in their class because of thoughts which they are good at.
Not only that, sir, but ordinary women have disappeared this way, in Masikeng, also, at more or less the same time that the 5 White children disappeared. In Masikeng, two Black school teachers, female school teachers, disappeared in their car and were never seen again. But I don’t want to burden you, sir, with this terrible story.
But let me tell you one last thing: After the disappearance of the 5 White school children, the police arrested a priest, a reverend of the White Reform Church, Reverend Van Rooyen. It was said that it was Van Rooyen who was responsible for the disappearance of these poor White school kids. And, he had been assisted by his girlfriend, who hand-picked these children. Before Van Rooyen could appear in court, a very strange thing happened. He and his girlfriend were shot in their little vehicle, a little 4x4 truck. And, after they had been shot, the truck managed to come to a stop-a thing that a moving truck never does-and I was told, afterwards, by a White woman who knew Van Rooyen, that Van Rooyen and his woman had not committed this crime as the police had said to the newspapers.
They had actually been murdered. Why? Because Van Rooyen was found with a gunshot wound in his right temple, and yet, all of the people who knew him knew that he had been a left-handed man. So, who murdered Van Rooyen and his woman? It is one of the biggest and the ugliest mysteries in South Africa to date.
There is more, much more along these lines, but I won’t waste your time with it.
