I love South Africa and its people.

I advocate non-violence.

I would like to raise awareness of the reality that the present government is failing all the people of South Africa, through incompetence and poor planning.

"In 1980, White South Africa was acknowledged -- even by her enemies -- as the most powerful country on the African continent. Now, 25 years later, this White giant has collapsed and is in the hands of the ANC. The Afrikaners, once masters of the country, are today a subject nation, ruled by people who only 120 years ago, did not have the wheel.
How did this happen?

The only way that Afrikaners, or "Boers" as some prefer to be called, can be spared the fate of all First World minorities in Africa, is for them to abandon their dependence on non-White labour, accept that their salvation lies in a smaller territory, and finally pack their bags and congregate in that smaller territory where they will form an outright demographic majority.

The Afrikaners never understood the relationship between demographics and power:

THOSE WHO OCCUPY A TERRITORY,
DETERMINE THE NATURE OF THAT TERRITORY

Only once a majority of Afrikaners understand this truth, can there even begin to be talk of a practical plan for saving them from ultimate long term extermination at the hands of the Third World.

Theoretically, if a majority of Afrikaners should come to this understanding, then it would be possible for Afrikaners to save themselves --
AS NO-ONE ELSE IS GOING TO SAVE THEM.

Let us be positive and say that theoretically, Afrikaners did come to an understanding of the relationship between demographics and power politics.

Then they would stop wasting time blaming crackpot conspiracies for their downfall, stop dancing around wasting time playing party politics in a majority rule system, in which they are just as doomed to failure as they were under Apartheid, and start practically working towards creating a territory or region in which they become the demographic majority.

This would, ipso facto as a result of their small numbers, be a much smaller territory than the current area of South Africa. Where it would be, could be decided when and if that time ever comes: the only preconditions must be that it must be majority occupied by Afrikaners, and that those who settle there MUST BE PREPARED TO DO THEIR OWN LABOUR.

(There are immense problems in this, and this writer would be pleasantly surprised if the majority of Afrikaner farmers could in fact be persuaded to dispense with their hundreds of farm labourers, and mechanize like their Western counterparts; or if the majority of White South African households could be persuaded to make their own beds and wash their own dishes, instead of using the plentiful 'maids'.)

There is no other way: all else is chaff in the wind. History will tell if the Afrikaners have it within them to undertake this second Great Trek, or if they are doomed to go the way of all White settlements in Africa: be ploughed under as the Third World destroys them bit by bit."

In a hot tin-roofed workshop, four young men, stripped to the waist, build coffins. With well practiced efficiency they produce 100 caskets a month, participants in a program to create work for unemployed Afrikaners. Most are sold to bury AIDS victims in the black communities surrounding the all-white private town of Orania. This town of 600, situated close to the geographic center of South Africa, was established in 1991, as a place where the soon-to-be outvoted Afrikaners, could rebuild a homeland or Boer volkstaat. Thirteen years on, despite bad press and the brunt of endless editorial cartoons (now framed on the wall of the local B+B), this town is thriving.

To UNDERSTAND THE BOER, three issues must be considered: The wounds of the ANGLO-BOER WAR still bleed (proportionally more Boer, mostly women and children, died in British concentration camps than Jews died in the Holocaust); the Boer is deeply, CONSERVATIVELY RELIGIOUS; and to survive, the Boer believe they need SELF-DETERMINATION ON LAND THEY CAN CALL THEIR OWN. In a country of 45 million, the Boer, with a total population of under 1.5 million, is politically insignificant. They gambled South Africa on apartheid and lost. Now they live, a distinct nation, within a country not their own.
