Were South African Blacks ever Cannibals?

By Mike Smith
28th of June 2011

Ilana Mercer has a new book out. It is called “Into the cannibal’s pot, Lessons for America from post Apartheid South Africa”.

I have not read the book yet, but shortly will.

The title got me thinking...We know of cannibalism in Central and West Africa, but were South African Blacks ever Cannibals? The answer is yes.

It was Felix Dzerzhinsky, known by his nickname “The Red Terror”, founder of the Russian Secret Police, the fore-runner of the KGB who once told a journalist, “Humans are not much more than animals. Starve them enough and they start eating themselves”.

The barbarism and brutality of blacks in South Africa is well known. Who can forget the terrible necklace murders of the 1980’s and the early 1990’s? Who can ignore the Muti murders, thousand of them every year and almost a daily occurrence in South Africa where blacks harvest organs from live people, mostly children to use in witchcraft?

Now I see the necklace murder method is starting to stick out its head again. In the last few days, in Port Elizabeth, four people were killed “necklacing style”. One person had been arrested. Necklacing involves forcing a rubber tyre soaked with petrol over a person’s chest and arms, and setting it on fire. Source Sowetan

Back to history

During the Zulu king, Shaka’s “Defecane” (the great scattering), he wiped out between two and three million blacks in South Africa. That is right, the biggest killers of blacks in South Africa were always and still are, blacks themselves.

In Peter Becker’s book, Hill of destiny: The Life and times of Moshesh, Founder of the Basotho, he tells the story of how the Basotho king Moshoeshoe founded his hilltop kingdom at Thaba Bosiu (Mountain of the night) in what is today known as Lesotho.

The Sothos were fleeing into the hills to get away from the carnage of Shaka. On page 51, Becker explains why Thaba Bosiu was called “The Mountain of the night”, it is because they reached the mountain during the night after a terrible march during which, Moshoeshoe’s uncle, Peete, was captured and eaten by cannibals...

Say, What? South Africa had cannibals who were so hungry that they were attacking armed black soldiers on the march?

I mean, come on...everyone knows that at the time South Africa was still full of wild animals, no shortage of antelope, why eat humans?

Nevertheless, Allister Sparks writes in his book, The mind of South Africa, on page 103 another shocking reference to this cannibalism amongst black South Africans.

Sparks mentions that amongst others, Shaka scattered the four tribes of the Hlubi, the Ngwane, the Ndebele and the Batlokwa, who became tyrants themselves ruling the Highveld of Transvaal, dislodging even more blacks, driving them up and down and criss-cross over the land, plundering and being plundered. Killing and being killed.

“Not a clan was was left untouched, and across the length and breadth of the central plateau, not a single permanent kraal remained. Cultivation ceased and as food ran out many people crazed by famine turned to cannibalism...”

Then in typical liberal excuse for black behaviour, Sparks continues that it was.”...Something totally alien and repugnant to black South African culture.”

Really? Let us investigate...

He then continues, quoting a Hlubi survivor of the time as he was wondering through the land at the time...

“I was wandering on a path. I saw a man who called to me to stop. He came to me and told me to sit down. He caught hold of my skin mantle. I left it in his hand and ran as fast as I could. He was a cannibal and wished to kill me. Afterwards I met two children...one was dead. The living one was eating the flesh of the dead one. I passed on. Next I saw a company of people digging plants. I was afraid of them and hid myself. When I was still going I saw a long stone wall, not very high. There were people sitting there cooking. I saw human heads on the ground. I took another way and escaped from these cannibals.”

And where was the spirit of “Ubuntu” in South Africa back then? Disappeared off the face of the earth I suppose.

So here we are sitting with a conundrum, a cognitive dissonance, several in fact.

A writer like Allister Sparks wants to convince us that these poor blacks...these extremely hungry and starving people only turned to Cannibalism when they ran out of food, but as I have mentioned, they had their pick of wild animals in their millions, even insects and birds, fish in rivers...there was no reason to turn to cannibalism with such an abundance of food, despite them murdering each other in their millions the animal life survived. Even the Boers lived off the land during the Great Trek.

The bushmen of the Kalahari desert managed to survive in much harsher conditions without ever reverting to cannibalism.

But it is the attack on Moshoeshoe’s army and the capture of his uncle by cannibals that should make us think...

If these Cannibals were poor and starving blacks, they would have been frail, thin and weak, probably poorly armed as well. I accept that they might have been desperate and hungry, but where they stupid enough to take on armed, trained soldiers? Were they strong enough to capture a member of the Royal Family, the King’s uncle who was like his own father to him? I doubt it.

These Cannibals were not starving. They were strong and brutish enough to attack an army of 5000 and take prisoners. They simply loved eating human meat the same way as their cousins from the Congo, where they migrated from.

Today we can only wonder what happened to these Cannibal tribes of South Africa. They were absorbed into other tribes, intermarried and had offspring...

The descendants of these Cannibals are today working in your garden, sitting next to you at university...and taking care of your children.

Please support Ilana Mercers Book.

I actually remember reading in a news paper, in the early 80's, Bishop Tutu appealing to the masses that they must not eat the people that they were necklacing. If memory serves me right, they would break pieces off the burnt "mpimpi" and eat them to show the others how brave they were. It was something to that effect. Dingo

Cape Town Toddler Killed by Dogs

2011-06-29

A 2-year-old boy was mauled to death by dogs in Sweet Farm, Nyanga, on Tuesday, Cape Town police said.

Lieutenant Colonel Andre Traut said the child was playing outside his home when he was attacked by the dogs.

There were no further details available.

An inquest docket had been opened into the matter.


AND THIS IS WHAT THEY HAVE RESORTED TO:      

A little boy of three was mauled to death after a pack of dogs pulled him out of his home and ripped him to pieces. 

Now the angry community of Sweet Home Farm, near Philippi, are targeting every dog they can find. 

Some unsuspecting puppies were tossed on a train track and crushed by a passing train, while others were beaten to death with sticks or smashed with bricks. 

Even children joined in the bloody slaughter. 

The all-out war on dogs was sparked by the killing of the three-year-old Philasande Mbokotho. 

He and his older sister Philanathi, four, were playing in the lounge of their shack in Sweet Home Farm at about 9am on Tuesday morning when the dogs attacked. 

Their mom Yonela, 19, says she left the kids to play in the house while she went to a nearby toilet. 

“While I was away, my friend called to ask where I was because the child was being bitten,” says Yonela. 

She says she rushed back but by the time she got to her shack, it was too late. 

The young mom seemed dazed by the morning’s horrific events and clung tightly to her daughter Philanathi. 

Staring at the spot where her baby was killed, Yonela says: “He was a lot smaller than his sister. I didn’t think to close and lock the door because the children were playing inside the house.” 

Dark bloodstains mark the spot in the lounge where the little boy was first attacked. 

And a trail of blood shows how the animals dragged his tiny body out of the shack and into the yard. 

A neighbour who witnessed the vicious attack says her nine-year-old nephew had just left the shack and came running back within seconds. 

“He told me that he had seen some dogs biting a child,” says the young lady. 

“When I got there, I saw four dogs all over the boy. Some were biting his head and some were biting his bum.” 

The woman says she picked up some stones and threw them at the dogs hoping the animals would leave the boy alone. 

“But instead they turned and wanted to attack me,” she says. 

“So I picked up more stones and threw them at them again and when they came at me again, I called for helped.” 

But by the time they chased the dogs away, Philasande was dead. 

Once word spread through the community, angry mobs began hunting down stray dogs. 

“All the dogs have to go because we don’t know which ones will attack,” says a woman in the area. 

Just a few minutes earlier, a litter of puppies was placed on the train tracks and in the path of an oncoming train by angry people. 

The SPCA arrived soon after to save as many dogs as they could. 

Police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel André Traut says cops are investigating the incident. 

“A toddler boy was bitten and killed by dogs at his (home in) Sweet Home Farm in F section at 9.20am,” says Traut.

“Police are investigating a death inquest docket.”

This is the latest in a series of vicious dog attacks on the Cape Flats. 

In one incident, a five-year-old boy had to receive 16 stitches to his face after he was attacked by an unknown dog while eating peanuts in a Mitchell’s Plain street last week. 

Just a few weeks before Clayton Malgas’ attack, a disabled teenage boy had to undergo an operation after he was mauled. 

Damian Williams, 16, was bitten all over his face and body by pit bulls when he visited a friend in Mitchell’s Plain - the dogs, Xena and Zeus, were later put down. 

In another incident, two Rottweilers and three pit bulls ripped the skin off the face of Jonathan Wallace, 39, while he was trying to protect a woman and her children from the vicious canines.

'We are all settlers in SA'

August 18 2007 

All South Africans are settlers, regardless of their skin colour, and their DNA carries the proof. 

So says Dr Wilmot James, head of the African Genome Project, a distinguished academic, sociologist and, more recently, honorary professor of human genetics at the University of Cape Town. 

And he says South Africans will soon have a public genetic database which will show how the country became populated over thousands of years. 

The African Genome project is supported by local genealogy website Ancestry24.com 

James aims to trace the origins of South Africans "no matter what their language, ethnic origins, or skin colour". 

"No one group can lay claim to South Africa. Everyone is a settler, and we will show how people came here in waves of migration." 

Next month he and his colleague, associate professor Himla Soodyall, will do mass genetic testing of Capetonians. 

Soodyall is the principal medical scientist at the National Health Laboratory Service and is an associate professor in the Division of Human Genetics at the University of the Witwatersrand. 

James says he expects about 300 people will come for free testing on September 9. The test simply involves swabbing the inside of a person's cheek. 

"Normally it costs R1 000 a time but this is a public exercise in science and a journey through the history of South Africa," said James. 

The results will be out early in 2008. The data will be used to map how people migrated here more than 100 000 years ago. They will do similar testing in Johannesburg. 

The Africa Genome project aims to fill a gap in the current DNA databases available worldwide and establish the diversity of ancestry in the South African population. 

The testing will offer another view of SA history since written history only goes back 400 years. It will also further confirm archaeological and palaeontological evidence. 

"We do not understand our history well enough and the truth has been modified in many stories," says James. 

"South Africa is not the site of human origins. The Sterkfontein caves have evidence of pre-modern humans, but modern man comes from East Africa where there is evidence of significant human presence dating back at least 100 000." 

The Khoi/San moved from East Africa and, up until 2 000 years ago, people living in southern Africa were brown. 

Africa's black people are originally from the Niger/ Congo region. 

James says genetic testing will confirm the theory that there is a population in South Africa whose ancestors were from Niger/Congo. 

Even though the test itself is easy, it is the lab work from where all the exciting details will come to light. 

Looking at what is known as mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) which comes from mothers, and Y chromosome DNA which comes from fathers, scientists are able to reconstruct the hereditary lineage of individuals and their families as far back as 100 000 years. 

The limitation of this approach is that those ancestors who did not pass on their genes by having surviving children are excluded from the studies. 

"Still, we are able to enrich beyond measure our understanding of who we are and where it is we come from," said James. 

"Some DNA mitochondria do not combine, they develop mutations which creep in and these are seen as fingerprints. They can be traced to where geographic concentrations of the same mutations occur." 

James's own test results have revealed that he has Indian, Spanish, German and English forebears. 

His mother's one line is Southern Pakistan/Northern Indian and German. Her father was a Hartel and James still has a title deed handed down from generation to generation for a piece of land along the Liesbeek River granted to German infantryman Wilhelm George Hartel by Cape Governor Simon van der Stel. 

It is from Hartel that James inherited Factor V Leiden, a mutation in his genes which has resulted in him having a clotting disorder, making him susceptible to deep vein thrombosis. 

His ancestors on his father's side are English; no surprise there, considering his surname. But he emphasises that ultimately everyone's ancestors were Africans, who migrated into Europe tens of thousands of years ago.

His next project will be to concentrate on groups like Italians, Muslims and Jews. 

"Italian prisoners of war worked on many of the Cape farms and they had families here. Eventually the project would like to reunite those Italian descendants with their families in Italy. The same for those of Javanese descent. 

"In fact, there are all types of settlers in South Africa, with successive waves of immigrants. The ultimate question for us to find an answer to is: what is an African?"

Pandora’s Apartheid Box – 32

By Mike Smith
26th of June 2011

I know, I am digressing wildly. With my last chapter I was on the betrayal of the country by F. W. de Klerk and his henchmen.

I should have included this chapter a lot earlier. I assumed that this information to be so well known that it I did not have to include it in my book. I apologize to my readers and followers for veering off on a tangent here.

Nevertheless, the truth has to be spoken and if you bear with me it will shock you.

I normally refrain from giving attention to a self-aggrandizing, nappy-wearing fool such as Julias Malema. I have more important things to write about or do with my life than to spend time on an uncivilized, illiterate, petulant toddler, but this escaped clown from the ANC circus has gotten up the noses of some of my readers and white folk in South Africa with his remarks about nationalization and grabbing white owned farmland in South Africa so I thought it well to settle a few issues by educating him and also those who are worried about his ramblings and verbal bowel movements.

What got my attention is the fact that Dr. Gregory Stanton of Genocide Watch moved South Africa up to stage six of the eight stages of Genocide last week after Malema, the leader of the ANC youth league threatened to confiscate white owned farms without compensation. His reason being that whites stole the land from blacks in the first place through colonization and legislation such as the Native Lands Act of 1913. Worse was that a sudden Rush of whites wanted to emigrate because of his claptrap.


Nevertheless, anybody with the elementary knowledge of history, law and politics in South Africa knows that this is utter junk, not even worthy of a second thought, but clearly Malema is preaching to his fellow low-browed, plebian followers who gives him a courtesy-suck every time he masturbates their African victimhood, which is nothing else but an excuse for their self-induced failure and right to milk whites until “Jesus comes”.

I have no problem if someone wants to emigrate because of unfair laws such AA or BEE. I have no problem if anybody feels they can no longer live under a heavily biased socialist government and pay taxes to them. I have no problem with anybody feeling that they need to emigrate because of the government clamping down on freedom of speech and the right to own property. But I do have a problem with someone wanting to run away from a limp-wristed coward and his gang, because when the fight starts I will be there in the front line. I pray for that day. Let us continue…

The Lies

There is a common belief in South Africa that the Natives Land Act of 1913 shoved blacks on reserves (7% of the land) and prohibited them from buying land in white areas. That whites forcibly removed them to these reserves and that these reserves were on the worst land in the country with no mineral riches and that whites kept all the best land and minerals for themselves.

Now if I was a black man, I would probably also want to believe that myth, because it would ensure me eternal victimhood status and compensation for generations to come.

Unfortunately, it is a blatant lie and can be attributed to the lack of reading ability or legal comprehension of the journalists and historians of our time.

First of all the biggest Platinum reserves in the world runs through the former Black homeland of Bophuthatswana. The former Nationalist government had no problem allocating this area to the Tswanas for self rule, although they already had a massive country called Botswana given to them by the British. It was originally part of South Africa, called Bechuanaland. Blacks further got another two massive countries from the British called Lesotho and Swaziland. There goes their 7%.

Lie number two corrected. Black homelands were on the worst land in South Africa.

When one compares the rainfall map of South Africa and anybody with elementary knowledge of South Africa will tell you that the largest part of South Africa is called the Karoo. It is a semi dessert comparable to Arizona or Nevada in the USA. Blacks never even entered this area let alone settle it. Whites made it blossom and created successful sheep farms producing meat of world quality.

Black “Settlements” are found on the north and east coast of South Africa. The East Coast having a sub tropical climate and the north a prairie-like climate with summer rainfall and thunder storms. An exception to this is the Western Cape with a Mediterranean climate and winter rainfall.

The northern and eastern part of South Africa with its beautiful green grasslands and fertile soil is where the blacks eventually coalesced and this is the land they chose for themselves. Their eventual homelands were found on the land they inhabited out of their own free will. The Afrikaners even have a song praising the greenness of Natal, called “ Groen is die land van Natal” ( Green is the land of Natal).It was perfect grazing area for the cattle herding blacks.

Lie number three, Blacks are indigenous to South Africa and first settled it.

Today Blacks in South Africa often tell Afrikaners and other minorities such as the Coloureds, Indians, Chinese or Jews to adapt to their misrule and corruption or “Go Home”…implying that we, who have been born here, who holds legal citizenship through successive birthrights should emigrate to Europe, Malaysia, India or Israel. That the only ones who have a legal claim to South Africa, all of it, are the blacks.

Blacks believe that they are indigenous to South Africa when they are not and this has been proven by DNA research.

We are all settlers in SA   All South Africans are settlers, regardless of their skin colour, and their DNA carries the proof.

So says Dr Wilmot James, head of the African Genome Project, a distinguished academic, sociologist and, more recently, honorary professor of human genetics at the University of Cape Town.

Apart from a few scattered archeological remains found of black culture in the far northern Transvaal prior to 1652, it is generally agreed that Blacks and Whites were contemporary settlers of South Africa. I use the term “Settler” loosely, because blacks never settled South Africa, their presence was nomadic. Blacks were mere itinerants who traveled from place to place with no fixed home. Whole capital “cities” of grass huts could be moved if grazing was exhausted.

They had no demarcated areas, no fences, no borders, no maps, no title deeds to proof ownership of any land apart from a verbal claim and mutual understanding that their temporary presence in a certain area in a certain period of time constituted “ownership” of the land.

They left behind no foundations of buildings, no statues, no roads, no rock paintings, not a single proof of “settlement” of the land, prior to the Whites settling South Africa. The only rock paintings were made by the Bushmen and the Hottentots (Khoi-Khoi and San) in the caves they temporarily occupied.

Blacks were pastoral-nomads and the Bushmen/Hottentots were hunter-gatherer-nomads. Whites on the other hand built cities, railroads, dams and a first world country comparable to the best in Europe and the new world…their legacy speaks of a people who intended to live there for a thousand years, if not eternity.

To claim that the whole of Africa belongs to Blacks is absurd. It is like an Italian claiming the whole of Europe belongs to Italians, including Norway.

In fact, the pyramids of Egypt is proof of white settlement going back thousands of years, so is that of the Phoenicians settling in Carthage and the Greeks settling in Alexandria. The Arabs settled North Africa soon after the Prophet Mohammed died and the whites settled Southern Africa from 1652 onwards.

Today there are three Africa’s as Dr. Eschel Rhoodie calls it in his book “The Third Africa” (1968)…Arabic up north, Black in the centre and Whites at the south.

The White settlers of the Cape first came face to face with the Bantu around 1770 on the banks of the Great Fish River, 120 years after Van Riebeeck came to the Cape and 1000 km east of Cape Town.

Lie number four, Whites created black reserves and homelands.

The TruthBlacks created the homelands themselves, thanks to Shaka.

The common belief is that the black tribes at the time were all living peacefully and in the spirit of Ubuntu with each other in a virtual liberal paradise. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The Zulu tyrant, Shaka, at the time was committing genocide against other tribes. Wiping out an estimated 2 million people in what is now known as the Defecane (great scattering). The Swazis and the Ndebeles fled back north in the direction of central Africa where they migrated from. The Sotho’s fled into the mountains of what is today, Lesotho. The rest of the smaller tribes huddled together trying to find strength in coalescing.

That is the history of black South Africans that blacks prefer to ignore…that blacks drove other blacks of their land, not whites.



It is into this Maelstrom of black chaos that the Boers trekked in 1838. As far as they went they found large open sections of country uninhabited by anyone.

Black tribes fleeing Shaka’s carnage grouped themselves into areas finding protection in concentrated numbers. This is how Sir Theophilus Shepstone later found them huddled together on self created reserves. He just demarcated it in order to protect them from each other.

The creators of the Bantustans were not the Boers or the Whites, it was a black man called Shaka.


Did Whites simply take over black land? The answer is no. The elaborate answer can be found in a letter written by the congregation of the short lived Boer Republic of Lydenburg in the name of Dominee A, Smith from Uitenhage in 1860 after continuous accusations by the Cape Government and the Dutch Reform Church that the Voortrekkers were stealing black land and not converting the indigenous people to Christianity. It is documented in the book, “Kerkverraad” by François Richter and Dr X on page 98.

The letter was first published on Tuesday, 3rd of April 1860 in “De Oude Emigrant” Potchefstroom.

I will freely translate (and not verbatim) the sections of importance.
Start of quote…

“We are are members of a “Volk” (nation) that is attacked and despised by you today. You attacked our rights and our dignity. We are the people who gave up all our belongings in a search of a country of our own where we can govern ourselves, just like you want to govern yourselves.


You refer to us leaving the Cape Colony as if we wanted to withdraw ourselves from civilization. You accuse us that we do not act as missionaries and force Christianity on a people who do not wishes it upon themselves.


You ask, “Did the Almighty tell our Commandant general to stand up and take ownership of the land?”


Our answer is that the largest area of the current British Colony, Natal and the Free State were legally bought by by the Dutch immigrants from the former legal “Kaffir tribes” (sic) who lived on it. A section was taken over by legally fought wars, wars that were caused by the Natives.


When the Dutch Immigrants found themselves in 1836 landless between the Vet and Vaal River, they bought the land from the natives.


While peace were established with the “Kaffir tribes” surrounding them, Mozilikatze and the Zulus or Matabeles attacked us without warning killing defenseless women and children on land we already bought from them and stole everything they could find.


When Chief Commandant Potgieter arrived back from his trip to Delagoa Bay and saw the murdered families he did what you and I and every other person would have done, he annihilated the enemy.

Under Piet Retief a large section of Natal was bought from the Zulu King, Dingane, who without warning killed 70 men. They then proceeded to kill (at Bloukrans) every white man woman and child they could find.


Under a small group of Kommandant General Pretorius the Zulus were defeated (At Blood River). In 1845 a large section of land in the area of Ohrigstad was bought from the natives and in 1846 they bought another section of land from the “Kaffir King” “Omswaas”.


In 1854 another section of land between the Buffels and Pongola Rivers now Utrecht, was bought from the Panda and a year later they bought another section of land from Omswaas north of the Pongola River.


And with this, the question of how we, the “Despicable Dutchmen”, took ownership of our land is answered”.

The Shocking Truth about the Native Land Act of 1913

Most credible historical sources and journalistic contributions such as Allister Spark’s book, “The mind of South Africa, The story of the rise and fall of Apartheid” selectively omits the truth about the Natives Land Act of 1913. I will now expose and reveal the truth.

This law is often quoted by pseudo historians and liberal propagandists to “prove” how “Whites” in South Africa dispossessed “blacks” of their land.

…until one takes this law under the loop.

From the start when one researches the 1913 Native Land Act one is confronted with several ironies.

The act was brought in by Minister J.W. Sauer, a Cape Liberal and Minister of Native Affairs who opposed disenfranchisement of blacks and was widely considered a friend of the Blacks.

John Tengo Jabavu, a prominent "educated African" and editor since 1876 of the first Xhosa newspaper Isigidimi Sama Xosa ("The Xhosa Messenger") welcomed the Act.

How then can this act today be considered as “The original Apartheid Sin”?
It is largely through the writings of Sol Plaatje.

Despite his Coloured or Dutch sounding name, Solomon Tshekiso Plaatje (1876-1932) was a Tswana. He was a black intellectual and writer who could speak seven languages including Dutch and German and who translated Shakespeare into Tswana. He was editor and part-owner of Koranta ea Becoana (Bechuana Gazette) in Mafikeng, and in Kimberley, Tsala ea Becoana (Bechuana Friend) and Tsala ea Batho (The Friend of the People). Plaatje was the first black South African to write a novel in English – Mhudi, (1919).

In 1914 he wrote a book called, “Native Life in South Africa”, full of anecdotal “evidence” of black dispossession in South Africa. Hardly any real evidence that would stand up in a court of law today.

It is this work that is used by one-eyed academics, liberals and historians to prove their case of how whites dispossessed blacks of their land and the origin of the “Whites-stole-black-land” myth perpetuated by ANC propagandists and more recently by Nobel Laureate for Woodwork and un-distinguished academic, Julias Malema.

Prior to this act, in 1906, the various black tribes complained to the British Government that whites and Indians and other Black tribes, but most importantly Companies, bought land on their reserves and fearing this encroachment, they rioted.

Because of this, a young black lawyer educated at Oxford and Columbia Universities, named Pixley Seme called various African Chiefs together and started in 1912, the African National Congress or the ANC.

The government of the day appointed a commission to investigate the situation, called the Lagden Commission. It is on the recommendations of this commission that the Native Lands Act of 1913 was founded.

The original Act…The Native Lands Act of 1913 can be viewed Here. Please download it before it disappears down the Orwellian “memory hole”.

It starts off with, “To make further provision as to the purchase and leasing of Land by Natives and other Persons in the several parts of the Union and for other purposes in connection with the ownership and occupation of Land by Natives and other Persons.”


At the time, the word “Native” was probably used for Blacks and “Other Persons” probably referred to Whites, Indians, Coloureds, etc, but that is pure speculation. The act says…quite clearly… “native" shall mean any person, male or female, who is a member of an aboriginal race or tribe of Africa”.

By that definition, Afrikaners definitely qualify, seeing that the group, their language and their culture originated in South Africa.

Where English settlers always held on to their European roots, Afrikaners cut their ties to Europe. They even named themselves and their language after the continent.

The law further distinguishes native companies…

“…and shall further include any company or other body of persons, corporate or unincorporate, if the persons who have a controlling interest therein are natives”…


That means any company founded on South African soil by Afrikaners or any other natives, including banks or mines could buy land from each other.

Nowhere in this Law does it specifically refer to Blacks and Whites. Nowhere does it say that Blacks could not buy White land or vice versa.

It then carries on and says,
“1. (1) From and after the commencement of this Act, land outside the scheduled native areas shall, until Parliament, acting upon the report of the commission appointed under this Act, shall have made other provision, be subjected to the following provisions, that is to say: --
Except with the approval of the Governor-General --

a. a native shall not enter into any agreement or transaction for the purchase, hire, or other acquisition from a person other than a native, of any such land or of any right thereto, interest therein, or servitude thereover; and

b. a person other than a native shall not enter into any agreement or transaction for the purchase, hire, or other acquisition from a native of any such land or of any right thereto, interest therein, or servitude thereover. “

Here one has to understand already that the law, just like all Apartheid laws, use to cut both ways. It was perfectly fair.

Further that the law never specifically referred to Whites or Blacks. It only refers to “Natives” and “A person other than a native”.

Not only could “other persons” not buy “Native Land”, but also that, “Natives” could not buy “Other Person’s” land…

As I have said. The act was 100% fair.

But right in the beginning it says, “Except with the approval of the Governor-General…”

That means that there was an escape clause. The law stipulates that Black tribes could still buy white land subject to evaluation of a committee and the approval of the Governor General… And boy did the blacks buy land…

Recently a study has been made by two distinguished academics, Professors Feinberg and Horn, that totally blows this theory about black land dispossession by whites apart. It is called: 

SOUTH AFRICAN TERRITORIAL SEGREGATION: NEW DATA ON AFRICAN FARM PURCHASES, 1913–1936 

I suggest you download this data from the PDF link provided for future reference before it disappears off the internet and down the memory hole.

* Harvey Feinberg is Professor Emeritus of History, Southern Connecticut State University, New Haven, and Research Collaborator, Department of History, University of Pretoria.

* André Horn is Associate Professor of Geography, University of Pretoria.

A reference to this study can also be found at the following link, written by a black journalist called Jacob Dlamini of Bussiness Day,  Was Natives Land Act SA’s original political sin?

This study proves that contrary to common belief, the 1913 Lands Act resulted in MORE land for blacks not LESS. The act resulted in Blacks increasing their land ownership by 65%. This is conveniently ignored and omitted from contemporary history.

It proves that at the time Black tribes were farming right next to Whites. It proves that whites were renting land from blacks and vice versa.

Sometimes Whites and Blacks were farming on the same land in total symbioses without interference from government, taking care of each other and their shared livestock. Liberal journalist Allister Sparks also acknowledges this in his book, “The Mind of South Africa”.

The study by Feinberg and Horn further proves that the Nationalist government of Barry Hertzog allotted far more white land to blacks than the liberal government of Louis Botha and Jan Smuts. Today, it is believed that the Nationalists brought nothing constructive to South Africa. The Nationalists are vilified to kingdom come by journalists and historians alike. The truth is rather different.

Quoting from Dlamini’s article…

“Between 1913 and 1936, for example, Africans bought about 3200 farms and lots outside of native areas. What’s more, the 1913 act was not retroactive, meaning that Africans who already owned land outside of the native reserves could not have it taken away from them. Feinberg and Horn say that between 1913 and 1924, under the governments of Louis Botha and Jan Smuts, there were 302 exemptions granted, amounting to 35% of the total. Between 1924 and 1936, when JB Hertzog was in power, there were 565 exemptions granted, amounting to 65% of the total. “

In effect what happened is that blacks could congregate into a group and call themselves a tribe, appoint a “headman” and thus buy white land on a “willing buyer willing seller basis”. Was this legal? Was it ethical? Was it mafia-like conspiracy to steal and encroach on White land? Who stole the land from whom…or was there no stealing whatsoever?

It is this age old system of “Willing buyer; Willing seller” created by whites and black South Africans themselves that the ANC and Julias Malema want to do away with today. The ANC wants to steal all the land.

It is this interference with the lives of the citizens of the country that we have a problem with; black and white alike. The further the ANC or any government for that matter stays away from us the better. We will solve our own problems.

That includes the United Nations, The Common Wealth and The African Union. Stuff them all. We South Africans will find the solutions to our own problems.

What this study proves, is that White South Africans especially Afrikaners and Blacks, sorted out their issues with each other decades ago. They were enemies; they fought bitter wars against each other.

Then they became friends. They lived and farmed side by side with each other, respecting each other. They came to common agreements of “Live and let live” and “Each to his own”…until the internationalist and their Communist agitators with their self interest and view on self enrichment by stealing the mineral wealth from all South Africans played the one off against the other.

South Africa is at the moment at a crossroads. There is the rough road and there is the smooth road.

We as the reasonable whites and blacks of South Africa can choose to co-exist with each other as we have done for the last four hundred years and as we have decided in 1994 or we can choose to go to war with each other.

Fact is that the Afrikaners can take a lot, but sooner or later they also reach the “Gatvol” stage. Sooner or later even the strongest ox gets tired.

When the Afrikaners are fed-up, they have never backed down when it comes to a fight for their existence and their place in the sun… and they have always produced a good account of themselves.

Whether it was the Mighty Zulu Empire at Blood River, the Mighty British Empire in the Anglo-Boer War or the Mighty Communist Empire in Angola…one thing is for sure, you do not scratch the balls of a sleeping lion with a thorny twig. When he wakes, do not beg for mercy.

Fact is that, when all the historical facts, truths and lies have been laid bare in front of reasonable people, it still means nothing. The ANC do not even hold themselves by their own Freedom Charter that says “South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white.” Or that “The rights of the people shall be the same, regardless of race, colour or sex”…

The ANC today practices unequal laws of Affirmative Action and Black Economic Empowerment, quotas in university entrance and sport…How in God’s name do they expect us to take them seriously when they preach “Equality” but practices Inequality?

In the study of revolution, Crane Briton was a master who wrote the book “Anatomy of a Revolution”. He analyzed the various stages of revolution based on various case studies. All revolutions passes through these stages from the “Old Order” to a “Moderate Regime” to a “Radical regime”, to “Thermidorian reaction” which is a reaction to the brutality and the excesses of the revolution.

In the light of the current ANC acknowledged “National Democratic Revolution” I will leave it up to the reader to decide in which faze we are in.

Crane Briton says in his book that it is the “Great Haters”, the single-minded men of heroic emotions, who eventually rides revolutions to their successful conclusions.

It is the focused minds of young tigers who are not distracted from their ultimate goal, who are willing to kill en masse, who are willing to risk their lives and who are willing to die for their cause who will eventually rule the land. Fortunately we are not that far yet, but we are close...

When the Blacks sing, “Hamba kahleUmkhonto”...


Go, go well, Umkhonto,
Umkhonto, Umkhonto we Sizwe.
We,we the people of Umkhonto,
Are ready to kill the Boers...


Are they talking reconciliation? Are they willing to work towards a commonly shared country by all South Africans? I do not think so.

When Jacob Zuma sings “Bring me my machine gun” does he intend to use that machine gun on Blacks? Obviously not. When Julias Malema regurgitate the words of Peter Mokaba and sings “Kill the Boer; Kill the Farmer” and millions of blacks laud him...what do they think goes through the minds of the young Afrikaners?

I can tell Malema what the Afrikaners think and how they behave.

The ANC is shit scared of the right wing Afrikaners, the AWB...they see them as their greatest threat. They are wrong.

Let me tell you how it goes at an Afrikaner social gathering or braai.

Obviously there are the Rightwing fanatics who want to shoot everything and who want to blow up everything to do with the ANC and "Kaffirs”.

They are the ones who wants to take it to the streets in mass action and want to Toi-Toi ala Kaffir and go and demonstrate in front of the Union Buildings with pickets in their hands.

Then there are the “New Liberal Afrikaners” who make up the biggest part of the Afrikaners today. These are the youngsters and housewives brainwashed by liberal bullshit radio and tellevision who praise Mandela as a demi-god and who believe in the “Rainbow Nation Bullshit...and who listens to Jack Parrow and “Die Antwoord”....They are zeros on a contract.

Then right at the back you will see a quiet “Old Ballie” who does not say a word. In fact he only listens and looks somewhat bored, yawning and checking out his finger nails. When prompted for an opinion he dislodges an old liberal Greek philosophical quote that no-one has heard of or can comprehend before reverting back to his quiet observing state... reservedly smiling at the audience, drinking in their ignorance and stupidity.

This is the man the ANC should actually be scared of, because he is an “Old Liberal”...one who has been around the block and knows that bullshit baffles brains. What goes on in his mind, nobody knows and he won’t share with anybody else. He is the man who slowly and quietly chips away at the block and if needs be has a lifetime of education and experience to make a decisive difference when the time comes.

He is the one who knows that survival of the species do not rest on a few Recce Special forces who can survive for two weeks on eating grasshoppers and Mopani worms. He is the one who knows that survival does not depend on success in a few glorious battles such as Blood River, Majuba, Spioen-Kop or the Lomba river...No.

He is the one who knows that survival takes a long term view. A view of a chess player thinking eight moves ahead all the time...A vision of seeing your nation in fifty years from now...two hundred years from now.

In ancient Rome, when a glorious General returned from battle, The Romans had a massive parade down the main street. The General would ride in on a chariot to the thunderous applause of the citizens...to his side would be a subject, whispering in his ear...”You are only human, You are only human...”

Certain people in the ANC have forgotten that they are only human. That the same people who have put them into power can take that power away at the drop of a hat.

Many years ago I watched the sitcom, “The Cosby-show” where Dr. Huxtable’s son gave him uphill. In the end he lost it and told his son, “Remember that I gave you life, I brought you into this world and that I can take it away”.

This is the lesson Julias Malema and the ANC still needs to learn.

But when all is said and done, “Might is right”...Africa taught us that lesson. Shaka did not care about political debates or philosophy.

Alexander the Great might have listened on occasion to Aristotle of Stagira, but when it came to the crunch, Alexander was the first man over the wall of an enemy city thrusting a blade between the ribs of an enemy soldier while the philosophers were pondering back home about the existence of life.

Whether it was Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun, Julius Caesar, Napoleon or Shaka...the ones who eventually conquer the land are the ones who are willing to take it by force. Holding on to that land for a thousand years is the realm of the philosophers and the warrior poets.

At the moment things are really hotting up in South Africa. All the whites have a feeling of the time is near now. The situation is almost unbearable at the moment...like a cyst waiting to explode, whites are bracing themselves for the onslaught to come. Whatever Malema hoped his rhetoric would achieve is having the counter effect. Whites are uniting like never before. They are finally starting to recognize a common enemy.

For his sake I hope he has the will and dedication to pull through what he wants to start, this time it will be all or nothing, there will be no half measures. No mercy.

Julias Malema last week made his offer quite clear when he put it on the table. Here is our offer. Go for it! We stop at the equator. Do with it what you want, Julias.

White Population is Being Rapidly Disarmed

South Africa's besieged white population is being rapidly disarmed of their 1,2-million legal weapons. 

Late Last year the ANC-Communist regime suddenly announced a change in the firearms registration act, demanding that all the legal guns be re-registered.

Only 43,000 of the more than 1,2-million (according to Afriforum) and/or 880,000 (according to the police minister) re-applications which were admitted have thus far been approved.

And the remaining applications are stacked up in the corners of the administrative office, waiting to be examined by the July 31 2011 deadline.

The results are horrific: many people whose re-applications for their legal weapons are still sitting inside those stacks somewhere, find themselves being raided by massive police raids amidst a blaze of publicity. These families' so named 'illegal gun-caches' are then confiscated and the owners branded as 'criminals' in trials-by-media, with the minister of police posing next to the 'illegal caches' in pre-announced press conferences.The families invariably are named and shamed publicly before they have even been charged in a court of law.

In one instance, a well-known Afrikaner gunsmith - whose guns were all legally-registered while he repaired them for their owners - was shot dead after a siege of his farm house by a large contingent of cops.

He died with two bullets, fired into his back between his shoulder-blades. 

Police claim he 'committed suicide with a handgun and a shotgun'.

If they are lucky, the raided families survive: but they are often thrown into police jails and subjected to public humilation.

All this is being done while the untold many-millions of illegal criminal gun of choice: AK47s and other illegal weapons imported from the Peoples' Republic of China stay in criminal hands.

For who would do dare to disarm these powerful warlord-ruled gangs? There is growing evidence that many police-officers form an integral part of the local criminal structures: they often also supply military- and police guns, and police-cars for the gangs to carry out their raids with.
The ANC/Communist Party leadership has thus far shown little willingness to disarm these dangerous, very large gangs in any kind of public display they reserve for the legal white gunowners and their families.

Gun-owning white families say that their applications are being turned down haphazardly: without any proper examination as required under the firearms-act - because the local police stations are rushing to make deadline.

Afriforum said in a statement that the police-minister doesn't know exactly how many weapon-registrations are being processed: that department is in a chaotic shambles and the small number of workers are untrained and unable to handle the massive workload.

The legal owners now are required to register their guns at local police-stations instead of at the central firearms-registry.

The police claim that 880,000 re-registration applications were received - however Volgens die organisasie is 1,2 miljoen aansoeke ingedien. AfriForum en die TLU SA het ’n hofaansoek ingedien dat die Vuurwapenwet in geheel ongrondwetlik verklaar en ter syde gestel moet word.

However the police minister doesn't know the exact details: Beeld newspaper showed photographs which graphically illustrate the chaos: with hundreds of thousands of firearms-registration forms stacked up against the wall: they hadn't even been looked at yet.

Mr Nell said it is very worrying that a full half of all the 'reregistration' applications are being turned down, and 90% are again turned down on appeal.
So white families are increasingly forced to hand over the only self-defence weapons and ammunition which they still could use legally against the country's many tens of thousands of criminal gangs who are turning the farms, streets, homes and businesses into war-zones.

Attorney and firearm-specialist George Nell described the entire process as 'alarming'.The civil-rights group AfriForum and the Transvaal Agricultural Union have submitted a combined court-application asking that the firearm-registration act be declared unconstitutional.

"The firearms-registration act is being administered. Nell said 'the change in the firearms-registration act indicates that this law with not stand the test of time.'

The act was poorly designed. It was slanted towards 'pessimism' because the administrative personnel are not capable of handling the huge flood of sudden applications, and so cannot handle them with due diligence to detail, as required.'

He proposed that the deadline by extended for at least a year so that 'the proper training can be given to the administrative personnel, and the administrative shortages are corrected.

Widow, 80, Relives Rape by Intruder

June 28 2011 

She begged their attackers not to kill her husband while they were trying to strangle him with her jersey and she was throttled and repeatedly punched in the face while one of the intruders raped her. 

This was the testimony of an 80-year-old woman on Monday in the Pretoria High Court. 

The dignified and composed woman pointed out her rapist in court, as being accused number one, Vincent Ramatsoma, 34, of Mamelodi East. 

He has admitted to the rape. He said in his explanation of plea that he did have sex with the elderly woman on April 26, 2008, and that it was his intention to rape her. 

He is facing six charges, including murder, rape, robbery and various charges of contravening the arms and ammunition act, together with his two co-accused, Tshepo Bigboy Sekele, 28 and Ben Mmapeya, 26, also of Mamelodi East. 

Apart from Ramatsoma admitting to the rape, all three pleaded not guilty to the charges. 

Reliving the events of that night, the woman (who cannot be identified as she is a rape victim) told Judge Bert Bam that she was in the kitchen at about nine, washing dishes. 

She thought she had locked the kitchen door, but it later appeared it was not properly secured. She meanwhile went to join her husband in the lounge, where he was watching television. 

“The next moment I saw three men. One pushed me down on my chair and the other two went to my husband. 

“I was forced to take off my blouse and jersey while one of the intruders tried to throttle me. 

“I was pushed down on the floor and the other two tried to throttle my husband with my jersey. 

“I kept on asking them in Zulu not to hurt my husband.” 

The victim said one of the men tried to drag her towards the bedroom, but she said she would walk. He then led her towards the bedroom. One of the other intruders then came to the bedroom with an iron and some rope. 

“He shouted at me that I am a boer and that he was going to burn me and kill me. 

“He swore at me and swore at my dead mother, using the most terrible language. I asked him whether he had a mother and a grandmother, but he just laughed at me. 

“He then told me to lie on the ground, but I refused. He pushed me on the bed and pulled off my clothes, before he raped me. 

“While raping me, he throttled me and repeatedly bashed me in the face with his fist until I could no longer see through my eyes. 

“He threw my clothes at me afterwards and told me to get dressed.” 

The victim said she was taken to the main bedroom, where she saw her husband was tied to a chair. 

The room was in disarray and the intruders climbed on top of her husband on the chair, to get to the top of the cupboard. 

They also emptied the safe of its firearms and took out her husband’s hunting knife. 

“One of them tried to intimidate me by showing me the sharp blade.”

They took her husband outside and tried to force him to get his car started, but it had a battery problem. 

When it did not start, they came to the woman to help them. She said she advised them to push the car until it started. 

“I again asked them not to kill my husband. They said they would not and that they would tie him on the bed with me, which they did before they left.” 

The woman said her husband had blood coming out of his ear and his mouth. 

Apart from his broken dentures, it seemed he had not suffered any other injuries. 

But as the weeks went by, he became more and more disorientated and it was eventually established that he had blood on the brain. He died three months later. 

The woman said her husband never recovered from the bad feeling arising from the fact that he had taught women self defence during his life, but that he could do nothing to protect her that day. 

The case is proceeding.

“He shouted at me that I am a boer and that he was going to burn me and kill me. And the ANC insists that "Shoot the Boer" does not incite violence... Wake up Malema!
