At a special ceremony on Thursday the 27th of June 1991at his office in the Union Buildings, in Pretoria, President F.W. De Klerk signed off on the last three remaining Apartheid Laws in full view of the world press and television cameras.
According to De Klerk, the scrapping of the Group Areas Act, the Land Act and the Population Registration Act meant that the book on Apartheid was closed.
What De Klerk forgot to add was that when he did that, he also closed the book on himself and his government.
From that day onwards, the NP had no constitutional right to govern anymore, they had no mandate anymore. There was no interim transitional measures in place, nothing.
On the 27th of June 1991, the National Party Government became an unconstitutional and illegal government.
That makes everything they have done afterwards also illegal, including the 1992 referendum and the negotiations on behalf of the whites of South Africa.
The entire 1994 election was illegal and the ANC government today is therefore illegal.

Horror of Necklacings Return to SA
27 Jul 2011
'Over a period of less than two weeks, we had about six incidents of this kind'
It was one crime too many for New Brighton. Two men broke into an elderly woman’s home, stole her television, and then stabbed her tenant to death when he tried to protect her.
So the next morning, neighbours tracked down the thieves, put tyres around their necks, doused them with petrol and set them ablaze.
“These boys had been causing problems in the community for a long time. They terrorised us,” said one resident of the township in South Africa’s industrial city of Port Elizabeth.
“People were shouting, emotions were high. Everything happened all at once,” he said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
“I just saw tyres being put around their necks, petrol was poured and they were set alight. When they were burning people were shouting all sort of insults and then it was done... The whole thing was so fast, like in a movie.”
“Necklacing” is one of the grisliest legacies of the violence that rocked South Africa’s townships in the 1980s, a punishment meted out to perceived sell-outs in the fight against white-minority rule, or sometimes to common criminals convicted by ”people’s courts”.
Since June, necklacing has re-emerged in Port Elizabeth as a new form of vigilante justice, which is common in townships where poor policing spawns deep frustrations.
“Over a period of less than two weeks, we had about six incidents of this kind,” said police spokesman Dumile Gwavu.
“In three incidents, police couldn’t save the victims and in other incidents officers arrived on the scene just in time before people were killed... Several victims had petrol all over them others were severely assaulted with stones.”
Police statistics show that of the 46 killings committed on an average day in South Africa, 5% are the result of vigilantism.
The necklacing in New Brighton created few doubts in the community about either the guilt of the two men or the justice of their punishment. The witness who spoke to AFP said that one of the men was wearing the dead tenant’s clothes.
“We report these criminals to the police. They come out the next day and commit the crimes again, so we got tired of opening cases that never go anywhere,” he said.
“If the situation remains like this, then we will do this again because we got rid of the problem for good.”
Gwavu said no arrests have been made in any of the necklacing cases because residents were protecting each other.
“We have been having community meetings trying to explain to people that they can’t take law into their hands, but so far these meetings have been tense as they community is still angry and don’t trust the police,” he said.
According to police statistics, about 80% of violent crime happens in poor neighbourhoods, usually by people who personally know their victims.
That has helped fuel a rise in what researchers term “collective violence”, said Nomfundo Mogapi, acting director at the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation, a think-tank.
“Our concern is that society is trying to organise themselves around violence when they feel frustrated” that the justice system is failing them.
“Because of our violent history people feel violence is the only way to make politicians, officials or police to listen to their grievances,” she said.
“What we see in these cases is the same pattern of violence used during the apartheid era, the burning of government buildings, stoning of police cars and barricading of roads.”

HORRIFIC DEATH: This graphic picture taken over 25 years ago shows the body of Tamsanqa Kinikini just minutes after he was killed by an angry mob in KwaNobuhle, Uitenhage. Many believe this was the first documented "necklacing" in South Africa

White Man Shoots Black Man
A QUEENSTOWN (Black) man was shot three times in the chest allegedly over a political argument he had with his neighbour (White Man) on Saturday evening.
Ndabeni was rushed to Queenstown Private Hospital and later transferred to Life St Dominic's Hospital in East London on Sunday. He has since been moved from the ICU.
A friend of Ndabeni's who claims to have witnessed it all, Siyabulela Dumalisile, alleged the neighbour hurled "abusive and racial" comments at them on Saturday evening.
Dumalisile said before the shooting, Ndabeni and himself were at a traditional ceremony in Westborne. They drove to Ndabeni's house to pick up jackets.
"Siyabonga went inside and I was walking around the garden."
Dumalisile alleged the man, living in the adjacent property, kept blinding him with a "big" flashlight.
"I tried to evade the light and then heard the man saying 'where is your president?' I did not respond but he kept asking louder and louder 'where is your president Julius Malema?'
"Siyabonga came out of the house and at first both of us did not take the man seriously and even apologised to him."
He said Ndabeni and the man started arguing about Malema. "He shouted at us saying that we think we can do whatever we like in this country because of Malema, and said he'd shoot us right there and then because we were kaffirs," said Dumalisile.
According to Dumalisile, the man then allegedly pulled a gun and shot his friend in the chest three times.
'No lawyer will represent racist dog'
Greyvenstein was arrested after he reportedly shot Siyabonga Ndabeni three times in the chest on July 18 following a racially fuelled argument about Malema and the integrity of the ANCYL.
Greyvenstein has been in custody since his arrest more than two weeks ago and will now have to wait until August 2 to make a formal bail application. His bail hearing was set down for yesterday but his defence attorney failed to appear in court.
Outside the court, Malema told protesters that he had been reliably informed that lawyers were too embarrassed to represent Greyvenstein. "They are too scared. He will not have a lawyer at his next appearance," Malema promised.
"Lawyers, there are many jobs for you. You do not have to help racists, they must rot in jail. No racist must live among us. It is a monkey tendency. They deserve to disappear. And they must never come back."
Dozens of supporters carried posters that slated racism. One read: "Racism is not welcomed in SA, if you want to live alone go to the zoo". Another one read: "To hell with AfriForum and hands-off Malema", taking a swipe at the Afrikaans human rights group that took Malema to court for the song Dubul'ibhunu.
In defence of the larger white community, Malema said not all white people were racist. "We know there are good white people out there. It is only the minority of the minority that are racist."
Greyvenstein made a brief appearance in the morning but the court stood down in order for court officials to address members of the media who had blocked the entrance to the courthouse.
An hour later, Greyvenstein, accompanied by three policemen, was escorted back into the dock.
His case was postponed to Tuesday after the state requested a remand in order for Greyvenstein to make contact with his Legal Aid Board attorney.

'No lawyer will represent racist dog'
THERE is not a single lawyer in Eastern Cape willing to represent the "white racist dog" who allegedly shot his black neighbour following a feud over ANC Youth League president Julius Malema.
Malema's words charged up a 2,000-strong crowd protesting outside the Queenstown magistrate's court yesterday against the possible release of Gerdus "Gerry" Greyvenstein, the man who is alleged to have pulled the trigger.Greyvenstein was arrested after he reportedly shot Siyabonga Ndabeni three times in the chest on July 18 following a racially fuelled argument about Malema and the integrity of the ANCYL.

Juju rants at 'illiterate and uneducated media'
29 July, 2011
Julius Malema has come out of his shell to say "illiterate and uneducated" journalists could not reach the standards of the ANC Youth League .
The league president was speaking publicly for the first time since last week's City Press report in which it was alleged that a businessman had paid money into his trust fund after securing government tenders.
The newspaper report intimated that Malema used the trust fund to bankroll his lavish lifestyle.
Malema yesterday spoke to a crowd at Queenstown Magistrate's Court, where the case is being heard of Gerdus Greyvenstein, alleged to have shot Siyambonga Ndabeni three times in the chest in a racially fuelled argument about Malema.
Malema said: "How many leaders have trust funds? Look at Tokyo [Sexwale] and his millions. This [trust] account helps the poor.
"If someone gave me a bribe, where is the receipt? There must be paper trail . you can trace that money," he said.
bribe [braɪb]
Referring to City Press's anonymous source, who claimed to have paid money into his family trust, Malema said: "If there is a baboon, come explain yourself, you coward.
"You don't have a face, you bloody ape. I will explain where you can put your money and it will be stinking money.
"What type of an irresponsible person would I be to link my son and grandmother's name to illegal activities?"
He castigated DA leader and Western Cape Premier Helen Zille and her party, saying: "Driving a Corolla does not make you [a] politician. They are fake . what does that mean . down with Helen Zille . fools can't speak politics."
The firebrand reiterated his position on nationalising mines: "We are looking for economic freedom and an end to poverty. By nationalising the mines we will do this."
Malema said the "willing buyer, willing seller" concept had to be thrown out of the window.
"They [white people] must pay for making us slaves . we must punish them. And now they must pay. If we don't, we are paying them for calling us kaffirs," he said.
"They must appreciate the fact that we have forgiven them, but must know we will never forget."
Turning to the media, he said: "Since I have become the youth league president, I have received no peace. If I go to the toilet they [the media] follow me. They say 'He went to the toilet but he didn't s**t'.
"Small minds that discuss people and not issues suffer from the mind of a rat.
Illiterate, uneducated journalists are unable to reach youth league standards."

Whites 'not planning a coup'
2011-07-28
by Steven Gains
In response to the recent article on Land distribution will happen, I believe it is only fair to respond in kind on behalf of not just all white South Africans, but on behalf of all people who are concerned (including myself) about the way the article came across.
It is truly mind-blowing that a person can perpetuate such real hatred, showing no remorse throughout his attack on white people. Whether it was a ploy to defend the sudden surge of negative publicity towards ANC Youth Leader Julius Malema or perhaps a very personal agenda filled with accusatory statements towards white farmers and their treatment (alleged) of their black workers, it remains a dangerous article and opinion all in one.
Over the last 17 years, this country is hovering on the edge of full racial divide still, because of obvious radicalism being driven by especially the ANCYL leader in his insistence in singing a detrimental song towards white farmers and his proposed nationalisation of Mines and Banks. Add to that the forced lowering of education standards, wide-spread corruption in government and parastatals, nepotism, xenophobia, vigilantism, common abuse of the justice system, the removal of the death sentence, the ongoing strikes holding the country for ransom…and more, and let’s face it, we have a very unhealthy country in general terms.
Then to rub salt in the these national wounds, here comes this individual writing statements which are not researched, based on hearsay and far from correct, creating just one more reason to keep the national divide firmly in its place, this all midst the TRUE fact that most white people in South Africa have made a consistent effort to bend over backwards to for lack of a better word, adjust to the new South Africa.
I would like to help the writer with some information which could be helpful to his research. There is no military style coup planned by whites in South Africa. There are no plans to overthrow the government. There are, however, white South African groups that do get together to discuss, not in secret, the very realistic need to protect farming communities. There are also groups who have put in place emergency systems to in the extreme case of land-grabs, have some recourse in allocating places of safety for affected communities.
Now it sounds like I am telling secrets here, but based on the propaganda of nationalising major industries and land re-distribution without compensation, some form of "survival" system needs to be in place. It may never come to fruition but even the faint possibility of anarchy leading to the forced removal of farmers off their properties needs to be observed in earnest. Granted, there are always extremes on both sides of the racial fence, and there are some radical white extremists left in South Africa, but let me make this very clear to all South Africans: These radical Afrikaner people is a very small group.
MOST white South Africans, including the Afrikaans speaking “boere” are going to real effort to reverse the popular Apartheid from the past. However, in defence of this minority, I have to bring “our” perspective to your attention. We are and will remain South Africans. We were born here and we come from generations of South Africans. Calling us oppressors and white capitalists and “boere” and whatever tag you want to hang around our necks, doesn’t change the fact that we are South Africans.
I have never denied some of the injustices of the past, but the thought of farmers being killed because they are white, with the added pressure now in the form of possible land “re-distribution” without compensation, and this government and it’s promoters of violent means to “regain” or re-claim “their” people’s land makes for a recipe which will end in disaster. I would like to assure Mr Xiphorisane that this is NOT Zimbabwe, and when a family, man or woman have been working on a farm they own for generations, they will not surrender it without due negotiation - including FAIR compensation.
Nowhere in the constitution is there space for despotic-style rule, with groups of (to quote Malema) “liberated revolutionaries” to just come onto my or anyone else’s farm and take it over, sent there by the leader of what is supposed to be the new free democracy in this country.
I therefore challenge the words, “land distribution will happen” which the writer of the article in question wrote by the following response (or perhaps ‘retort’ on some level). Do not underestimate the power of our constitution to govern your words and actions if you decide to implement them, individually or as a collective.
Do not underestimate the readiness of people to utilise the constitution in a court of law to make sure their land doesn’t get “taken” from them, but most of all – please DO NOT make the mistake of thinking they will bow their heads and quietly leave everything they worked for behind. Afrikaners in the new South Africa and white people in this country will not be chased out of this country or off their property without defending it, with vigour and tenacity.
I hope I speak for all white South Africans when I say it is time that radical black South Africans realise some of us white folk isn’t going anywhere soon...get used to it after nearly two decades please!

SA population tops 50 million
2011-07-27
South Africa's population has passed the 50 million mark, according to latest mid-year population estimates released by Statistics SA on Wednesday.
The agency estimates the country's population has now reached 50.59 million people, based on the 2001 census.
This is a net growth rate of 1.1%, worked out using the birth rate, immigration, emigration, and the death rate.
South Africa's population is overwhelmingly young. Around one third of it is younger than 15. Only 7% of South Africans are 60 or older.
Women are having fewer children. Their fertility rate has declined from an average of 2.92 children in 2001 to 2.35 children in 2011.
Infant mortality is estimated to be 37.9 infant deaths per 1 000 live births in a given year, for children aged less than one year.
Although this is still high, it is a decline from the 2001 rate of 53 deaths per 1 000 live births.
The overall HIV prevalence rate is approximately 10.6%. An estimated 1.1 million people older than 15 years, and 380 000 children, are in need of antiretroviral therapy.
Life expectancy at birth is now estimated at 54.9 years for men and 59.1 years for women, who make up 52% of the population.
Gauteng is the most populated province in the country, followed by KwaZulu-Natal, the latest figures show. The 11.3 million Gauteng residents make up 22.47% of South Africans.
The Northern Cape is the least populated province.
The agency is preparing to conduct a census later this year which will give a fuller indication of population trends.

Conspiricy to Destroy the White South African Government and Murder the Boer - Afrikaaner People
In the 19th century the British fought wars to subject the Boer states to British Rule. In 1948, the Boers took power democratically, with the election of the National Party.
In the 1960s the government of Hendrik Verwoerd took power and implemented the formal separate but equal policies in South Africa. These policies made South Africa the economically strongest nation in Africa, and gave the blacks in South Africa (and the whites) the highest standards of living of any African nation.
Verwoerd's policies had two main opponents. One was a Jew named Harry Oppenheimer, the other a Jew named Anton Ruppert. Both controlled banking monopolies in the country, and wanted "rights" extended to black South Africans for the purpose of extending their money lending business. Oppenheimer had ties to the Rothschild banking family and to the US CIA, which throughout the 1970s through 1990s supported the overthrow of white South African rule, at the direction of the Jew Henry Kissinger.
Oppenheimer lobbied the Rothschilds to overthrow Verwoerd, who had publicly denounced the Jewish banking monopolies in Parliament. The Rothschilds secured the support of the Rockefeller, Carnegie and other "Anglo" families in the United States, and had those institutions lobby against the white government. Rockfeller influenced the Council on Foreign Relations and its members in the US government in particular to oppose white rule.
In 1963 a group of Jews founded the "African" National Congress. The ANC was founded by Lionel Bernstein, Bob Hepple, Dennis Goldberg, Arthur Goldreich, Hazel Goldreich and James Kantor, with a few African front men -- Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, Govan Mbeki (father of Thabo Mbeki), Raymond Mhlaba, and Ahmed Kathrada. In this, the ANC followed the model the Jews established when they founded the NAACP in the United States, with the exception that the ANC was a much more violent and openly communist organization. These Jews and their African National Congress received funding and support from both the Soviet Union and the US CIA.
In particular, Ruth First, the Jewish wife of Jewish Soviet KGB Colonel Joe Slovo, a leader of the South African Communist Party, was primarily responsible for funneling funds to this "African" National Congress.
In 1966 the CIA financed the assassination of President Verwoerd, through their "lone nut" operative Demetrio Tsafendas, a Greek immigrant to South Africa. In particular, Oppenheimer's South African Foundation funneled CIA money to Hendrik Van Den Bergh of the South African Security Police and John Vorster, the Minister of Justice, who were the men who recruited Tsafendas to assassinate Verwoerd.
By the 1970s the Jewish campaign to subvert South Africa was having no effect. The economy was unaffected by sanctions and communist unrest was minimal -- though much was made of it in the Jewish owned elements of the US press.
In 1978 the CIA recruited Pik Botha, the South African foreign minister, as a spy and used him to subvert the South African government, working with Samuel Huntington and Chester Crocker, Botha was assigned to undermine and alter the attitudes of the South African government regarding black rule.
Botha recruited Minister of Sports Piet Koornhof **and Head of Military Intelligence General Tienie Groenewald to the CIA-Jew operation. Groenewald in particular passed on the names of Afrikaaner nationalist and white rights activists to MI6 and the CIA, and arranged for acts of violence and harassment, COINTELPRO style, against Boer activists in the country.
In the late 1970s and the early 1980s the banking families, Oppenheimer in particular, began to speculate in the Rand for the purpose of devaluing the currency. Inflation rose to 7 percent and growth fell to 3 percent, with inflation reaching 16 percent in the early 1980s.
In 1989 a Freemason with ties to B'nai B'rith, the Jewish Masonic fraternity which controls the ADL, was elected President of South Africa. President Frederik De Klerk was a Jewish-backed candidate with ties to the international Zionist establishment. De Klerk worked for, and eventually achieved, the Jewish goal of black rule in South Africa.
Today, South Africa's central bank is run by a Jew named Gill Marcus, with the black frontman named Tito Mboweni taking instructions. Trevor Manuel, a Jew, is the Minister of Finance. Alec Erwin, a Jew, is the Minister of Trade and Industry. Helena Dolny, the Jewish ex-wife of KGB Colonel Joe Slovo, runs the Land Bank. Ronnie Kasrils, a Jew, is the Minister of Water Affairs and Forestry. Louise Tager, a Jew, is chairman of the railway system, Spoornet. Michael Katz, a Jew, is the chief consultant on taxation. Meyer Kahn, a Jew, is the managing director of the police service. Three Jews -- Richard Goldstone, Arthur Chaskalson, and Albert Sachs -- sit on the South African Supreme Court.
What has happened in South Africa under the name of "democracy" and "diversity" has been the Jewish takeover of their country. As with all Jewish governments, South Africa is now a failed nation. It is poor, it is crime ridden, and it is not safe to walk the streets.
The Jews wage war on anyone who opposes their total domination of the world's economy. They also work to make sure they control the governments of every single developed country in the world. Jews use whatever tools they can -- phony allegations of "racism" or pleas for "democracy", for instance -- to win stupid, thoughtless non-Jews to their cause, but all celebrated communist, socialist, "democratic" and/or anti-racist groups in the world are Jewish run and Jewish financed.
