Lees bietjie hier oor julle Lieflike Oom P.W.
Dis so goed hulle sê nou ek moet weer saam met kontant Viljoen oorlog
toe gaan.
Jy stamp mos nie jou kop twee keer nie.
Maak eerder geld bymekaar dat ons Eugene De Kock uit die tronk kan
kry.

The support for Mr PW Botha now coming from Afrikaners - also
conservativeBoere- Afrikaners - should not be seen as support for any
of his actions besides his resistence to the so-called Truth and
Reconcilliation Commission.
Boere-Afrikaners are asking many questions about the recent calls for
financial support for Mr Botha's legal costs. They are not forgetting
the history surrounding the so-called Information scandal a few
decades ago. A piece of history about which few people have ever
heard the truth, and most did not realise that the scandal was not the
one presented publicly by the Erasmus Commission. The real scandal was
of far greater scale and on a different level.
Boere-Afrikaners remember very clearly that the former minister of
Information, Dr Connie Mulder had to use his whole gratification
(pension) to try and defend his honour. Mr Botha was the one seeing to
it that he received no legal aid from the state, even though he was
accused of actions carried out in the course of his duty.
Boere-Afrikaners also remember that the scapegoat of the affair, Dr
Eschel Rhoodie (the only one to ever appear in a court of law about
the matter) had to use his own R100 000 to defend himself. He was
found, not guilty, but he never got a cent back from the state.
Boere-Afrikaners also ask the question if Mr Botha did not perhaps use
the information scandal to get rid of his political opponents, and if
the history of Mr Botha is not perhaps the history of a man who
carried out South Africa's first political coup to get to the top.
At that time Dr Connie Mulder was the National Party's favourite to
follow up Mr John Vorster.
Suddenly there was the Erasmus Commission who at first said Dr Mulder
had done nothing wrong, but then through a clever piece of
manipulation, blamed everything on him. He was chased into the dog box
and Mr Botha rose to the throne on September 28, 1978. Before the
end of that year Mr John Vorster also became a political victim and he
was forced to step down. Vorster was so embittered that he refused a
visit from PW Botha in hospital, even though he knew he was dying.
Vorster forbade the whole cabinet, except Mr Lapa Munnik to attend his
funeral and he also refused a state burial. His wishes were ignored
and mr PW Botha ordered a huge state funeral which was attended by the
whole cabinet, him included.
What was the scandal of the Information scandal? That state money was
being used to improve South Africa's image overseas? Was that not a
necessity? How could only Dr Mulder, Dr Rhoodie and general Lang
Hendrik van den Berg have known about the secret
projects?
For years, the money used for these projects came out of an account
run by Mr Botha's Department of Defence. Who ever believed that
declaration by the then Minister of Finance, Dr Owen Horwood that he
signed the cheques, but held his hand over it, so as not to see
where the money was going?
Boere-Afrikaners refuse to forget that Mr Botha was the man who let
seperate development fail, even before he had an alternative, such as
his catch phrase of later years, namely healthy power sharing. He was
the one bestowing draconic powers upon the post of state
president, paving the way for FW de Klerk's capitulation.
In the eyes of Boere-Afrikaners, he stands guilty of witholding the
right to an election from white voters of South Africa. Botha rejected
the belief by common South Africans that fundamental changes to the
political and economical system should be tested through voting. With
his interpretation of the new Constitution of 1983 and the results of
the 1987 election, he took up the mandate to do whatever he found to
be best.
In the eyes of Boere-Afrikaners he caused the largest ever rift in the
Afrikaner community by throwing seperate development out of the window
and accepting the meaningless policy of power sharing. The rift was
not just on political level, but also on cultural and church level.
The rift and the diminishing support for Mr Botha could be seen in the
fact that only 15 to 20 thousand people attended the NP organised
150-year commemoration of the Great Trek, while more than 60 thousand
people showed up at the nearby festivities organised by the so-
called rightwing. The numbers were found in the newspapers which
supported Mr Botha and
his government.
Would the impoverished Boere-Afrikaner ever forget that he had his
office fixed up at a cost of R3,3 million and his Tuynhuis residence
for R6 million? Would they ever forget that he had a plain built in
front of his office at a cost of R10 million for bigger ceremonial
parades?
People can surely not have forgotten how he manipulated the Afrikaans
press to not give any publicity to his opponents, the HNP and the CP -
something they are still doing today.
Thousands of men and families still remember the loss of many of our
young men on the border, fighting for an ideologically which Botha had
already given up at that time.
There are pleas coming from Boere-Afrikaners that people who are
thinking of sending money to this man, should rather give their money
to a more worthwhile cause, such as our own structures in the form of
CVO schools, volkseie sport and volkseie health services. Why
give money to a man who sell and buy houses worth millions of rands? A
man who received 6-number gratifications and pensions when he stepped
down as minister and as state president.

O, ou Frikkie, nou is jy nie meer
rsaboy nie maar freedom2000. Wat
is verkeerd met die goeie Afrikaanse
woord "vryheid."
