Warrant of arrest for outspoken antisemite Jan Lamprecht

A warrant of arrest has been issued for white supremacist and Nazi sympathiser Jan Lamprecht, who allegedly breached an interim protection order issued against him last year.

Lamprecht, who despises Jews, blacks, gays, and anything that threatens white supremacy, continues to spew dangerous and inflammatory antisemitic and racist hate on social media.

Based in Johannesburg and skilled in information technology, Lamprecht believes Jews are out to silence him. He sees this fight against censorship as his personal crusade, and has said he will “fight this tooth and nail”.

He accuses Jews of everything, including the production of “dangerous” COVID-19 vaccines to fight the “fake” pandemic. He claims Jews, who he refers to as “liberals”, are intent on robbing him and the world of free speech. He is also anti-government and refers to Cyril Ramaphosa as the “black Jew” or the “bravo liberal”.

Last week, the Randburg Magistrates Court authorised the warrant of arrest for allegedly breaching an interim interdict against him.

The matter goes back to July last year, when a charge of crimen injuria was brought against Lamprecht by University of the Witwatersrand Professor Karen Milner.

In October last year, Milner, who is also Gauteng chairperson of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies (SAJBD), was granted an interim protection order against him. This after Lamprecht posted a photograph of her as well as her personal details and degrading comments of her on his fake-news website. It resulted in her receiving hate mail from some of his white supremacist followers.

At the time the application for a protection order was served on Lamprecht, he was also served with a warrant for his arrest which was suspended pending compliance with the court’s instructions.

“When he failed to comply, we went back to court last week to get the suspension removed so that he could be arrested,” said SAJBD National Director Wendy Kahn.

According to insiders, it’s only a matter of time until he is arrested.

In terms of the interim protection order, Lamprecht is prohibited from engaging in and attempting to engage in harassment of the complainant (Milner); posting any pictures/videos referencing the complainant on websites; and all references and pictures/photos of the applicant and complainant are to be removed and deleted from all websites and platforms within 48 hours of the order.

Yet Lamprecht continued to post inflammatory material even after he was served the protection notice, Kahn said.

It’s not known whether Lamprecht is employed, but he obsessively manages at least one website which he uses to disseminate his antisemitic and racist views. One of his so-called news sites is named History Reviewed The Truth They Are Not Telling You, another is titled African Crisis Total Communist Takeover of South Africa Stop White Genocide.

Over many years, Lamprecht has used his websites to promote Nazi propaganda and disseminate extreme antisemitic and racist content. There are reams of material and dozens of videos rich in conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial.

Lamprecht evidently scours the internet, presumably for hours, hunting for foreign and local news articles which back his views. He then shares and re-posts these articles on his sites, along with endless personal opinions and his so-called “breaking news” or “latest news”. He posts home-made videos and conspiracy-related material all neatly packaged on his fake-news sites.

He has also taken to attacking the SAJBD’s attorney, Ian Levitt. In one post, he said, “Ian Levitt is the attorney for the South African Liberal Board of Deputies. He’s also the attorney for the white-hating, genocide-inciting, bravo communist Julius Malema! Is this a ‘coincidence’? You’ll find these liberals on the side of communists … Liberals and communists … working against Whites… is this an accident?”

Lamprecht blames Jews “across the Western world” for censorship and interfering in freedom of speech “all under the guise of combating hate speech”.

Among reams of published material, his comments include, “given what a race of two-faced, backstabbing fiends they are, I .… have made the argument that there is no such thing as a good Jew”, “They need to meet a new kind of white man, the kind they’ve not met since the time of Hitler”, “filthy little race of rats and pathological liars … They dominate EVERYTHING … and turn all the powerful against us … Hitler was too nice to them.”

In February this year, he said Jews were behind the COVID-19 vaccines.

“Liberals are behind the COVID vaccines. This would not surprise me. Wherever liberals are involved one should be doubly and trebly careful. There is so much that is not known about these vaccines. I see that our people in European countries are becoming more agitated by this COVID crap. I am very pleased to see Whites arising. This is good. Trust nothing … especially when liberals are involved.” He tells his followers there is “no such thing as a liberal who can be trusted” because they are “fair-weather friends”.

Acting on behalf of the SAJBD, Ian Levitt Attorneys said last week that the court ruling “was a major milestone and indicative of the court’s stance that it won’t tolerate contempt of its court orders and will authorise the arrest of people who do so”.

Kahn agrees, saying that she is “encouraged by the fact that there is recognition of the seriousness of hate and harassment by our courts”.

Lamprecht is due to appear in the Randburg Magistrates Court on 19 April.

    The poor fellow is cursing himself and his family by cursing our Jewish people and does not even know it, because he is oblivious of these truths in the Tanach.
