Simon, the true Afrikaner/Boer will never integrate with the English. Obviously you have very little or no knowledge of our heritage and our love for our language, history and culture.
I never voted “yes” for the ANC to take over our country. And you know why not? I saw first hand what Mandela’s terrorists did when they exploded that bomb (one of many in SA), in Church Street, Pretoria. The body of a baby being torn apart. Women screamin. And the pain and suffering.
The ANC has never (even to this day) complied with the one ultimatum set by the then NP Government, namely, to suspend their armed struggle. They quietly continue with their weapons and killing of white Afrikaner people and continue their armed struggle against us, even at this very moment.
There have always been poor Afrikaner people in this country. And there will always be. What is happening now is that the middle-class Afrikaner has become poor due to BEE and the racist affirmative action of the ANC. But the loss of Afrikaners jobs due to these ethnocentric practices by the ANC, with the DA also supporting it, has opened the door of opportunity for us. We never lie down and go broke. Not the true Afrikaner and Boer nation. We will always stand up! Time and time again. Once again you, don’t know us. It is in our make-up and our genes. The history of the Afrikaner/Boer is my witness.
What is happening now is the blatant disregard of the ANC for our Afrikaner people, who are standing up and those who have already stood up. They have started their own businesses and are targeted once again through the racist implementation of BEE and AA in these businesses. “Too many whites in Management”. Now they want to implement a racist strategy to force white-owned businesses to deploy black “managers” in top positions. Businesses that were started through the innovation and hardship of the white Afrikaner in this country. This is racism at its best.
I will repeat what I have said. There were in the past, since we started out in this Republic, very poor and homeless Afrikaner people. Many of them. They don’t want to work and they have no ambition. My parents, since I was small, have tried and helped these people as long as I can remember. Their faces are still the same today, only their surnames have changed. And they will always be with us.
Please distinguish between the true Afrikaner/Boere nation and them. We don’t and never will lie down and disintegrate or disappear in the face of any struggle, war or famine. We never have and we never will. Of that you can be certain.
