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.

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.* 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?
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.
