Dear PRAAG member\/supporter abroad,<\/p>\n
Thank you very much for your support so far for the cause of saving South Africa\u2019s white and Afrikaner people from extinction. I must apologise for not having communicated with you regularly in the past, but we have been, as always, busy with our increasingly bitter struggle here.<\/p>\n
We have also revamped this, our English-language website<\/a>.<\/a> Apart from publishing South African news, together with our own media releases and newsletters, we shall also be carrying global news stories of interest on that site. Please visit it regularly as we shall be updating it on a daily basis.<\/p>\n Our Afrikaans-language site<\/a> for South Africa is also being renewed and has become a major South African news portal in its own right. We publish approximately 20 stories and columns per day and also have a very lively comments section.<\/p>\n Increasingly, the mainstream media in South Africa and globally are suppressing the bad news coming out of this country. For example, our president Jacob Zuma sang a song in public during the ANC\u2019s centenary celebrations on 8 January 2012 in Bloemfontein in which he called for the shooting of Boers and whites. It included the phrases: \u201cThey are cowards, they will run, the cabinet will shoot them.\u201d Although broadcast live on television to the whole country, it took some time for people to realise that he was actually calling for the mass killing of whites and farmers, as the song was sung in Zulu.<\/p>\n However, none of the mainstream media made much of this, which actually constituted an international crime due to South Africa being a signatory to various international conventions that prohibit any form of incitement to genocide or violence against another ethnic or racial group.<\/p>\n Many crimes committed against whites are not reflected in police statistics. I personally interviewed a gallery owner in Pretoria who was held up at gunpoint by three blacks in her home who continuously threatened to kill and rape her. She was badly assaulted and had to be hospitalised afterwards. However, when she reported the crime to the local police station, the black officers on duty refused to accept it as she had mentioned the fact that her attackers had used the words: \u201cWe are going to kill you, you white bitch.\u201d Due to the racial nature of the attack, the police refused to accept her affidavit.<\/p>\n We are currently setting up support groups all over the country that will collect information which we could then publish on our website. One of our technicians is busy training people in video technology to make it possible to gather evidence and also post videos on YouTube on the ongoing violence in South Africa, as well as efforts to counter it. We have some retired policemen and detectives who are prepared to investigate crimes without remuneration, but we have to pay their transport costs.<\/p>\n No-one knows how many whites have been killed by blacks in South Africa since 1994 when the ANC took over. It could be 30 000, or 50 000, or even as high as 100 000. Such statistics are a closely guarded secret. However, together with another organisation, we lodged an official request last month with the South African Police Service for crime statistics broken down by race or population group. We are anxiously awaiting the results. If not forthcoming, we will be forced to seek a court order to obtain them.<\/p>\n A high-ranking member of the Dutch Freedom Party (PVV), Martin Bosma, recently visited South Africa. According to him, \u201cAfrikaners are the canary in the coal mine for the whole of the Western world. You will be the first Western nation to die out since the start of the European Renaissance.\u201d<\/p>\n The attack on us is multifaceted: racial violence, anti-white legislation and discrimination, as well as efforts to undermine our educational system, our culture, language and our very identity. At the beginning of this year, a high school in Fochville, a town west of Johannesburg, was targeted with a group of black children bused in by the provincial government. This was the last remaining public school of quality in that whole area, with parents driving their children 100 kilometres per day there and back. The provincial education department is being run by a white communist who is adamant that all schools \u201cmust be the same\u201d whether they are majority-white or majority-black. According to talk in the education department, the officials want to capitalise on \u201cwhite flight\u201d by driving all white children out of public or state schools, forcing them into private and home schooling which many cannot afford.<\/p>\n In 2003 when it was announced that the name of our capital, Pretoria, would be changed to the African name of \u201cTshwane\u201d, PRAAG was the first organisation to protest that act of cultural vandalism. We organised a protest march right into the heart of the black inner city, with myself walking side by side with the very popular Afrikaner singer Steve Hofmeyr. Since then we have not given up the fight and many court cases and petitions later, it was announced last week that the name of the city would not be changed after all. However, it was announced at the same time that twenty-seven street names would be changed from those of the city\u2019s founders to black and communist names. Even \u201cChurch Street\u201d would not be spared as it is apparently offensive. One of the streets would be named after terrorist Solomon Mahlangu who had killed some white civilians in the late 1970\u2019s.<\/p>\n As the South African crisis deepens, more and more people are waking up to the fact that the current system is unjust, corrupt and violent. Those who can afford it, are emigrating. But many cannot leave, either for financial reasons or because the other Western countries would not accept them. On the other hand: why should we leave and simply abandon our country and all our assets to a corrupt African government appointed over us by the United States, Britain, Sweden and other Western powers?<\/p>\n We must claim at least part of South Africa for ourselves! To this end, we are building our current network of activists, not only in this country, but all over the world.<\/p>\n We are very much encouraged by the groundswell of conservative support for us in the United States, the Low Countries, Australia, Northern Italy and many other countries. Protests and demonstrations are being planned in several major Western cities this year and we welcome those.<\/p>\n I want to invite you to join us in this struggle, which currently affects us, the canary in the coal mine, the most. But ultimately it engages us all, because multiculturalism is just communism or extreme egalitarianism in disguise. The Cold War may be over, but the assault upon our Western and Christian values have never been greater.<\/p>\n Let us hope that the movement which we are building to save our beleagured nation on the southern tip of Africa will not only benefit us, but will mobilise thousands more all over Europe and North America to stave off the kind of nightmare which we are already living through, every day.<\/p>\n I shall soon be sending you information on our Pro-Afrikaans support groups or simply \u201cbuzz groups\u201d which we are currently forming. They offer an exciting way of meeting like-minded people and participating in the movement to save this nation.<\/p>\n Soon, on 6 April 2012, it will be 360 years since three Dutch ships first threw anchor in Cape Town\u2019s Table Bay. Of course, that founding moment is today derided as \u201cthe coming of the hated white colonialist\u201d.<\/p>\n But we who love our culture and civilisation know otherwise.<\/p>\n Regards,<\/p>\n Dan Roodt Partial view of the Afrikaans language monument at Paarl, Western Cape Dear PRAAG member\/supporter abroad, Thank you very much for your support so far for the cause of saving South Africa\u2019s white and Afrikaner people from extinction.
