Thanks for this alert!
I've started a draft response at http://wikimedia.org.za/wiki/Response_to_Niehaus_vandalism . Everyone, please do the wiki thing and improve it as you see fit. Anyone who needs a login on the Wikimedia ZA wiki, let me know.
Bobby, in which forum do you think we should respond?

It would be good as WikimediaZA to respond to these kind of things.
Unfortunately I'm off very shortly and will have no internet access for about a week, but perhaps we can work on a template and rapid response/press release for these kind of situations in future. Ideally it should
- explain how Wikipedia works
- mention Wikimedia ZA
- mention that Wikipedia exists in languages besides English
