|||Cape Town - The teenager who was allegedly abducted and tortured by a group of white supremacists poured his heart out on Facebook about his ordeal.
Matthew Knipe, 17, was jogging down Kendal Road to a gym near his Southfield home when he was allegedly grabbed by a group of men in a bakkie.
Now Matthew has posted on Facebook: “On the 24th of December on a day normally spent with family and friends, I was taken, destroyed and demolished by the devil himself.
“I was physically and racially dehumanised by the most horrific and vile group of animals I have and will ever come across in my life.
“Right now they have taken my home from me, I am unable to sleep at my house, the very place that would help me feel secure and heel me from this traumatic incident because it happened so close to home.
“These men wanted to hang me... their aim was to kill me on Christmas Day. As a sacrifice to God, a god which they believe can only be worshipped by a group of people and by one race.
“Well, if only they could read this and if only they could hear this from me in person. That they have lost.
“I survived their malicious attempt of trying to lynch me. While they were torturing and trying to carve me up. They spoke about ‘the rebirth of the Broederbond’, an organisation which before this ordeal I have never heard of.”
Matthew ended off his note by stating a stronger him had been born from this experience and added that he was grateful for all the love and support he received.
Matthew survived his ordeal after he managed to escape when the men were trying to move him to another location.
The confused, burnt and beaten teen was found by a homeless man who kept him safe overnight and alerted cops the following morning.
