Violent assault on white teen in Pretoria raises alarms about targeted crime against minorities.
On August 21, 2025, 14-year-old Luann Combrinck, a white student at Hoërskool Overkruin, was savagely beaten by three robbers in his Wonderboom home, struck repeatedly with a suspected garden spade and left for dead in a pool of blood.
His mother, Marisa, found a scene “like a horror movie,” with blood-splattered walls and stolen goods strewn about.
The attack exposes a disturbing trend of black-on-white violent crimes that many argue disproportionately target South Africa’s white minority, fueling fears of persecution masked as “normal crime.”
Luann escaped by scaling a wall to safety, aided by a school official.
The Combrincks, supported by their community, demand justice, citing CCTV evidence.
With South Africa’s crime rates soaring, this case highlights the urgent need to address whether such attacks reflect deeper, racially charged animosities.
