Harry Schwarz is vandag (Vrydag) oorlede. Hy is een van talle Jode wat
die Afrikanerdom in die wiele gery het en as 'n 'onlangse' immigrant
moes hy eerder dankbaar gewees het vir wat die Afrikaner in Suid
Afrika bereik het as om sy liberale idees rond te slinger wat tot die
gemors waarin ons nou in is sou volg. Alhoewel sommige Jode tot
Afrikaners sou ontwikkel, het 'n groot aantal Jode hulself as vyand
van die Afrikaner bevestig en hulself tot die kommunistiese en
terroristiese ANC en SAKP gewend. Die Jodedom in Suid-Afrika is maar
'n klein deel van die bevolking maar tog oefen hulle buitensporig baie
mag uit.
"Schwarz het in 1934 saam met sy ma en jonger broer in Suid-Afrika
aangekom. Sy pa is kort vantevore na dié land nadat hy nie in
Nederland, Frankryk of Brittanje 'n verblyfpermit kon kry nie."
I am sure that the large majority of whites, Afrikaans or English-
speaking, would agree that South Africa under ANC rule has become a
nightmarish, third-world hell-hole, replete with uneducated tin-pot
megalomaniacs screaming down the roads in blue-light convoys, often
mowing down innocent pedestrians, corruption, anarchy, decaying
infrastructure, rubbish in the streets, heretofore unknown levels of
violent crime, as well as the quasi-religion of state racism, known as
transformation (a.k.a. ethnic cleansing) aimed against whites in the
form of affirmative action and BEE. This black-on-white racism has
reached such endemic proportions that Eskom, the state electricity
supplier, is importing black Americans to fill posts at Eskom to sit
and twiddle their thumbs, rather than deigning to appoint a white
South African citizen.
The mistake many whites made with the coming of South Africa’s so-
called democracy in 1994, was to delude ourselves into believing that
we were somehow different to all other African hell-holes. We were
sadly mistaken, however. The ANC regime is not different at all. It
rather has everything in common with Zimbabwe’s Zanu-PF. The
deterioration of a formerly orderly and prosperous country loudly
attests to this.
Given the above African reality, self-determination or emigration is
the only way of whites to avoid either a Zimabwe situation, or even a
Rwanda-type genocide. More than a million whites have left, but what
about those who cannot emigrate? Self-determination can also include
an independent country, but doesn’t have to do so. The Basques and
Catalans in Spain are an example of peoples with a large degree of
self-determination, but without an independent country. Section 235 of
South Africa’s constitution does make provision for self-determination
by ethnic groups. Up to now, the quest for self-determination amongst
whites has been almost exclusively driven by Afrikaners. Praag, the
Pro-Afrikaans Action Group, is one of the Afrikaner-organizations
working towards self-determination.
Although Praag is by definition an Afrikaans organization, it is also
a fact that there are significant numbers of English speakers that
support us, or perhaps are united in their opposition to the racist
and criminal ANC regime. This piece was prompted by one of the regular
contributors to the comments section of the Praag site, who asked
questions like:
Who are the Afrikaners?
What is the role of English-speaking whites in any effort towards self-
determination? (I’m going to abbreviate English-speaking whites as
ESWs in the rest of this piece.)
The first question is the easier one to answer, although it is
admittedly not quite that easy in all cases. I will use Wikipedia’s
definition:
Afrikaners or Boers are an Afrikaans speaking ethnic group in Southern
Africa. They are mainly of northwestern European descent (mostly
Dutch, German and French ancestry), but their native tongue is
Afrikaans, a language closely related to Dutch.
Note that there is a clear mention of ethnicity in the above
definition (once again: it isn’t my own definition.) Ethnicity is PC-
speak for “white.” In other words: Afrikaners are white, Afrikaans-
speaking descendants of European settlers. Politically correct people
and liberals may not like a national definition in terms of race, but
it is a fact, just like it goes without saying that a true Irishman is
a white inhabitant of an island country in the Atlantic Ocean. For
those who wonder how to define a white person, I refer them to the ANC
regime. Please ask the Afro-fascists of the ANC how they decide
against whom to discriminate when it comes to affirmative action. You
could even ask a four-year-old, before the adults teach him or her to
start lying about the obvious.
Whilst we’re on the topic, I may as well grasp the nettle of the
coloured question too. In certain circles, for example the liberal
Afrikaans-speaking media, it is considered politically correct to
group Afrikaans-speaking coloureds with Afrikaners and to pretend we
somehow form one ethnic group. One particular media group, Naspers,
with has gone as far as to even invent an absurd name for this
combination: the so-called “Afrikaanses” (sic). This is the equivalent
of pretending white Americans and Mexicans are one nation, and calling
them: “Amerexicans” or something similar. However, the interesting
thing is that this is very much an extremely tiny minority’s opinion,
and only the most whisky-soaked Naspers journalist would even consider
taking this seriously. Most coloured intellectuals would not see
themselves as Afrikaners at all.
For example: the coloured academic (to any American readers:
“coloured” in South Africa refers to mixed-race people, mostly of
Malay, Khoisan and white ancestry), professor Jonathan Jansen, goes as
far as to deny that there is even an Afrikaner nation at all, by which
he bizarrely seems to suggest approximately 3 million Afrikaners all
suffer from the same delusion, as opposed to Jansen’s own paranoid
delusions. When the formerly Afrikaans-speaking and formerly coloured
University of the Western Cape was “democratized” in 1994, they wasted
no time in getting rid of Afrikaans. With few exceptions, Afrikaans
music, culture, academia and commerce are driven by Afrikaners, not
coloureds. Coloured intellectuals are almost united in their
preference for English. Whilst I don’t pretend to speak for the
coloured community, American-style gangsta culture and hip-hop music
seems to hold a bigger appeal to many of them, than does the Afrikaner
culture.
Things aren’t all that simple as saying Afrikaners speak Afrikaans,
adhere to an Afrikaner culture and are white, however. Many Afrikaners
have intermarried with English-speaking whites. A good example of this
is the popular Afrikaner singer Steve Hofmeyr, who, in spite of being
passionate about the language, nevertheless married an English wife
and is raising his children in English. In addition, some Afrikaners
have deliberately chosen to abandon Afrikaans and have voluntarily
become English-speaking. A good example of this is the Afrikaner
actress, Charlize Theron, who these days sports a pretty passable
Californian twang.
Is Charlize still an Afrikaner?
The above logically leads to the second question: what, if any, role
is there for ESWs if and when Afrikaners achieve self-determination?
I am not going to dwell on the Anglo-Boer War and the remaining
bitterness still being felt in some circles towards the English-
speakers. As far as I am concerned, both the Afrikaners and ESWs are
currently in the same boat, and should be united against a common
enemy, rather than dwelling on the past: the racist ANC regime and its
criminal accomplices (if not the ANC’s criminal officials and office
bearers.)
One reality in terms of most ESWs is that there is not such a clear
sense of a national identity among ESWs. I’ve yet to hear an ESW
describe himself as anything but a South African. However, most sane
realists realize by now that there is in fact no such a thing as a
South African nation, especially not if you’re white. To call yourself
a South African is therefore pretty vague and to my mind an
unsatisfactory description. The ANC regime constantly makes it
abundantly clear that whites are, in Thabo Mbeki’s immortal words,
“settlers who have yet to depart” or “colonialists of a special kind.”
If there is a South African nation, as opposed to a geographical area,
it is definitely uniformly black, with very little room for whites.
Perhaps because most ESWs lack a separate national identity, it will
of necessity have to be Afrikaners who will lead our own struggle,
similar to the ANC’s, to achieve self-determination. Except for a few
ESWs who think an independent Western Cape is a good idea, I detect
very little separatist thinking amongst ESWs. As for the question as
to whether Afrikaners will welcome only Afrikaners into the fold,
should we achieve self-determination: there’s no simple answer. I once
again refer to the example of Steve Hofmeyr’s children. Are they
Afrikaners? Do we do a language test and grant citizenship in an
Afrikaner republic to Steve on the basis of that, but not his kids?
Another question is whether ESWs would like to associate themselves
with Afrikaners, even if offered the opportunity.
It is a fact that ESWs have historically been of a much more liberal
persuasion than most Afrikaners. Helen Suzman, with her almost
exclusively ESW and Jewish constituency in Johannesburg’s leafy
suburbs, was for years the sole liberal member of parliament. Would
liberal, northern-suburbs ESWs want to have anything to do with the
Afrikaners at all, or are they happy to rearrange the deck chairs on
the South African Titanic and flee back to London when the chips are
down?
On the other hand, it is a fact that ESWs are for reasons of ethnicity
and intermarriage the closest relations Afrikaners have in Southern
Africa. A lot of ESWs no longer have any British roots or relatives.
Afrikaners have much more in common with ESWs than with Zulus (or
Mongolians), for that matter. A large proportion of the ESWs are
equally as disillusioned with the so-called Rainbow Nation as
Afrikaners are. They also suffer the same racist discrimination at the
hands of the ANC regime as Afrikaners do. Do Afrikaners abandon the
ESWs if Rwanda’s genocide becomes South Africa’s reality too?
If I am really pressed to provide a straight answer as to whether I
think Afrikaners should allow ESWs to participate in Afrikaners’ self-
determination, and knowing full well many ESWs would have political,
cultural and linguistic objections, I would have to say a qualified
yes.
One thing that I think most Afrikaners striving for self-determination
agree upon, is that our language and culture are completely non-
negotiable. If there is an independent Afrikaner Authority, similar to
the Palestinian Authority, or an independent Afrikaner state,
Afrikaans will be its sole official language. Nobody wants to control
what languages people speak behind closed doors, but all government
functions and all state broadcasting will for example be in Afrikaans,
finish & klaar. There is in this sense no difference between
Afrikaners, the Germans and the French, who also wouldn’t dream of
having other languages as their official language. This in and of
itself may discourage many ESWs from joining the Afrikaners’ cause.
Many of them may rather consider English-speaking countries such as
Australia or the UK.
Does that leave ESWs as mere potential immigrants? I agree with Dr Dan
Roodt, the leader of Praag, when he says that any independent
Afrikaner Authority or Afrikaner state should apply the same
immigration criteria as European countries. Afrikaners, as defined by
the definition elsewhere in this document, should in my opinion
automatically qualify for citizenship. Anybody else would be free to
apply for citizenship, subject to an oath of loyalty and to other
criteria like skills, lack of a criminal record, health, education, a
waiting period and a language test. All of these are nothing sinister
and are in fact exactly the kind of criteria countries like the UK and
Germany would apply to prospective immigrants.
I would personally also say there is a case to be made for extending a
once-off offer of asylum or refugee status to ESWs who suffer from
racist persecution and crime at the hands of the ANC regime.
Afrikaners could certainly not stand idly by if, God forbid, South
Africa threatens to become another Rwanda and our ESW brothers are
about to suffer a genocide. This should, however, be subject to the
understanding that any Afrikaner self-determination or independent
state would be of an Afrikaner nature in terms of language and
culture, and that refugees would be expected to assimilate and adopt
the Afrikaner culture.
The above will admittedly not appeal to all ESWs, but then they are
free to savour the many delights Africa and the so-called Rainbow
Nation have in store for those of an unfashionable shade of
pigmentation.
Die man kom staan voor my. Hy het handskoene aan en ek sien die blink
loop van sy vuurwapen waar hy dit voor my gesig hou en hoor hom sê dat
hy my gaan “naai” en my gaan “doodmaak.”
Maties is soos Tuks deur Afrikaner geld en
harde werk gebring tot waar hul vandag is.
Dan kan mens mos sê dat die wêreld demografie
daarop dui dat Mandarin die wêreldtaal moet
wees en 'selfhelp' kulture maar moet voortveg
terwyl die Chinese kultuur oormag moet hê.
Selfbeskikking van lande is mos dan globale
apartheid...

Het is mij niet duidelijk waarom een regionaal lect soms een "dialect"
genoemd wordt, en een andere keer een "taal"
Ik meende dat "Nederlands" een kunstmatige taal is die als standaard
dient voor Nederland en Noord-Belgie. Het is een soort van compromis,
niet in het bijzonder gebaseerd op een of ander dialect, alhoewel het
het dichtst staat bij de Nederfrankische groep
Maar in dit verhaal schijnt met "Dutch" iets anders bedoeld te worden;
het lijkt erop dat daarmee de dialecten bedoeld worden die met name in
het Randstad gebied gesproken worden. Maar dat is dus een andere
definitie dan wat met "Nederlands" bedoeld wordt Bovendien is er in die
streek altijd een grote immigratie geweest, met name in de grote steden,
zodat afhankelijk van tijd en plaats er nogal wat variatie is.
Kortom wat is in dit verhaal eigenlijk een "taal"? Bedoelen we met een
"taal" een standaard taal zoals het Nederlands? Of bedoelen we daarmee
een groep van onderling verwante dialecten, zoals Nedersaksisch, of
Nederfrankisch, of Ripuarisch? Wanneer noemen we iets een "dialect", en
wanneer is het een "taal"?

Om teen plaasgeweld te betoog reël die TLU SA Noord se Jongboerkomitee
‘n optog wat op 6 Februarie in Pretoria sal plaasvind. Die optog begin
om 09:30 by die LC de Villiers sportveld in Hatfield, Pretoria, af.
Dit eindig by die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens (SAPD) se hoofkantoor
op die hoek van Pretorius- en Paul Krugerstraat, waar ‘n manifes
oorhandig sal word. Mnr. Dries Joubert, TLU SA Noord se hoof van
kommunikasie, sê plaasaanvalle en –moorde is besig om die intensiteit
van ‘n konvensionele oorlog aan te neem.
“Sedert 2004 is 2 500 boere reeds vermoor. Die georganiseerde landbou
oorkom baie uitdagings suksesvol, stabiliseer die plattelandse
ekonomie en skep werk. Misdaad is egter die een aspek wat die
volhoubaarheid van landbou ondermyn.”
In die manifes wat oorhandig gaan word, spreek TLU SA Noord sy kommer
uit oor die vernietiging van die kommando-stelsel sonder dat ‘n
werkbare struktuur in sy plek daargestel is.
In die manifes word vier eise gestel:
• Die Presidensie moet erken dat die Polisie nie in staat is om die
brutale aanvalle en moorde op kommersiële boere te voorkom nie.
• Dat die gebruik van ‘n roterende groen lig aan die TLU SA se
plaaswagstelsel aanvaar sal word.
• Dat die Regering fondse sal voorsien vir ‘n konferensie wat sal
fokus op plaasaanvalle en –moorde in ‘n poging om oplossings te vind.
Die ondertekenaars van die manifes beoog om die konferensie te reël.
• Dat plaasaanvalle en –moorde as apart in die Polisie se
misdaadstatistiek vermeld moet word.

Johannesburg 'n Vrou van Mpumalanga moes berading ontvang nadat 'n
groep woedende inwoners van haar gemeenskap haar geforseer het om
hulle te help om haar seun en sy vriend te stenig.
Die voorval het Sondag in Sibhejane, suid van Komatipoort,
plaasgevind.
Die twee seuns het glo 'n man met 'n mes doodgesteek en die gemeenskap
het besluit om hulle self te vonnis. Hulle het die seuns opgespoor en
hul begin stenig.
’n Bejaarde vrou van Hermanstad in Pretoria is gisteroggend oorval en
doodgeslaan vir ’n selfoon terwyl sy vermoedelik skottelgoed gewas
het.
Mev. Ria van den Bergh (65) van Welthagenstraat se buurman het haar
lyk gister ná 10:00 ontdek.
Insp. Louis de Bruin, polisiewoordvoerder, het gesê mnr. Jan van den
Bergh, die vermoorde se man, het gesê hy is gisteroggend om 06:00 werk
toe.
De Bruin het gesê toe mnr. Van den Bergh die huis verlaat het, was ’n
werker besig om op sy huis se dak te werk.
“Net voor 10:00 het mnr. Van den Bergh sy vrou probeer bel, maar sy
het nie die telefoon geantwoord nie. Hierna het hy die buurvrou gebel
en haar gevra om te gaan kyk of alles reg is by sy huis.”
Volgens hom het die buurvrou na die huis gegaan en mev. Van den Bergh
van die heining geroep, maar sy het nie geantwoord nie.
“Die buurvrou het toe haar man gaan roep. Nadat hy van die straat
gesien het die kombuisdeur se veiligheidshek is oop, het hy oor die
heining gespring. Kort daarna het hy die tannie gekry waar sy in die
sitkamer gelê het,” het De Bruin gesê.
“Sy is erg aangerand, maar dis nie duidelik waarmee sy geslaan is nie.
Die man wat op die dak gewerk het, het spoorloos verdwyn en mev. Van
den Bergh se selfoon is ook weg. Dit lyk of sy besig was om
skottelgoed te was toe sy oorval is.”
Die polisie ondersoek ’n klag van moord en diefstal.
