--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sep 26, 2009 – VEGKOP, HEILBRON - Journalist Anton Ferreira of the Sunday Times reported today that 'while the rest of South Africa was celebrating 'Heritage Day' with friends and family, the ‘dinosaurs of the Afrikaner right wing gathered to launch a fresh campaign to throw off what they called the yoke of black oppression". http://www.timeslive.co.za/sundaytimes/article129450.ece -

Oh dear! Clearly with such obviously unprejudiced journalists like this on the scene, those 300 Afrikaner/Boer leaders who met at the Vegkop battleground over the weekend to try and find some kind of rescue or safe haven for their violent-crime besieged, increasingly desperate people, clearly weren’t going to get much of a good press.

Julius Malema, ANC Youth League president: “I will beat the children of the children of colonials…’

They were there to speak their minds, to try and find peaceful solutions. 

The Afrikaans Sunday rag Rapport didn’t even report the Vegkop convention.  Instead their headlines screamed threats by ANC Youth Leader Julius Malema, whose position is rather shaky as well :  "Let me tell you my friend, I have won you and your apartheid regime and I will beat you again, for once and for all…’ ranted Malema over the telephone with Rapport journalist Julian Rademayer. He’d contacted Malema in Washington, DC in the USA where the youth leader was on a junket with the SA deputy police-commissioner. Rapport wanted to talk about an arrest warrant issued over Malema’s apparently unpaid speed fines with his luxury Mercedes Benz C350 in 21 Sept 2008. “I only know revolution, I know nothing about driving cars,’ Malema raged. “I am a child of heroes of the struggle. I am not a child of cowards and suppressors. I beat colonials and I will beat the children of the children of colonials,’ he ranted. http://www.rapport.co.za/Content/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/2315/8c44769168d043a7b7f6f2bc0eb11fae/26-09-2009-09-23/Julius_Malema_hou_nie_van_boetes_betaal

That kind of uncontrollable rage against whites from a supposedly responsible top ANC-official - who is hoping to rise to the highest position of power inside the ANC-leadership -- only expedites the Afrikaner minority’s  growing conviction that they should be pushing for self-rule in the land of their birth as quickly as possible -- before they are all annihilated.

The heads of Englishmen with hammers’

  • Meanwhile the Sunday Times has also totally ignored this month’s hate-speech in which all whites are ordered to be murdered by ex-freedom fighter Sam Nujoma, the founder and ex-president of modern-day neighbouring Namibia. He called on his people , speaking in front of the foreign newsmedia but only in his own language -- to 'beat in the heads of Englishmen with hammers', and called for the murder of all whites. This has gone  ‘apparently unnoticed’ by the Sunday Times and other mainstream news media. The only place the article appeared was in The Namibian. http://www.namibian.com.na/index.php?id=28&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=59748&no_cache=1

This week, the Sunday Times did however carry its screaming headlines about this peaceful Vegkop meeting of this small group of Afrikaners who were calling for self-rule – but at the same time also still trying to still find a peaceful solution to the terrifying siege-conditions the vast majority of Afrikaner families now have to survive in in the country of their birth – especially in Gauteng, Limpopo, North West and the Free State provinces.

The Sunday Times writes that these Afrikaner Vegkop Convention participants - mostly leaders of cultural groups from towns and farms across the country - gathered at the historic Voortrekker monument near Heilbron, Free State, site of the 1836 battle in which about 30 Voortrekkers under Hendrik Potgieter drew a wagon laager and fought off several thousand Matabele. 

Terre'Blanche Eugene Vegkop meeting pic James Oatway SunTimesJohannesburgSept262009 The Sunday Times’ article chose to focus primarily on the presence of the most controversial figure in Afrikaner-politics, namely the 'smaller, frailer-looking" Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging leader Eugene Terre'Blanche, surrounded by ‘armed guards in black shirts.’ This is the Sunday Times’ picture, illustrating the Vegkop story.

Ferreira also felt the immediately need to emphase Terre’Blanche’s history by pointing out that he had been ‘sentenced to six years in prison for assault and attempted murder' but was given an early release.‘ The Sunday Times article quotes Terre'Blanche - who has always been a very dramatic, Shakespearan-style speaker blessed with a deeply-resonating voice -- as follows:

  • "The Boerevolk paid for their land in northern Natal and the Eastern Transvaal," he ( Terre'Blanche) thundered. "The treaties are there. We have the title deeds to it. We have the right to land, we have the right to freedom."  Writes Ferreira: "Terre'Blanche, with an escort of four AWB members in black shirts, called on God to restore the land to the Boers so they could build Christian churches where Muslims ‘with their strange cults’ had erected their ‘foreign’ places of worship. http://www.timeslive.co.za/sundaytimes/article129450.ece

‘’The British have persecuted the volk‘…

Other quotes from the same article:  ‘Speakers at the gathering denounced everything from outcomes-based education to land redistribution, farm attacks and the soap opera Sewende Laan,’ writes Ferreira.

  • He quotes organising committee member Flip Swanepoel's criticism of this TV show for portraying racial mixing.  "God had forsaken Afrikaners because they were watching these kinds of programmes and had failed to observe their covenants with Him,"  Swanepoel was quoted as saying.
  • Also quoted: the secretary of the organising committee, Frikkie Strauss from Piketberg in the Western Cape, who said that the current plight of Afrikaners – and their loss of the right to rule themselves - had been ‘engineered by the British, who had persecuted the volk ever since they seized the Cape colony and Natal. ‘ "The ANC government is only the black glove on the white British fist," he said. "This ANC government was installed with only one purpose, to destroy our volk." He noted that the Anglican church had spent "millions" on fighting apartheid and it was no coincidence that the head of the church was the British monarch.”

However none of the Afrikaners at the Vegkop convention called for the bashing-in of any heads of any Englishmen nor of any blacks for that matter - although, Ferreira reports that ‘as the meeting wore on, speakers grew increasingly blunt. "I'm not speaking emotionally, I'm speaking scientifically," Strauss said. "The African person is genetically programmed for destruction. Everything he touches, he destroys."

‘First paper blacks saw was Bibles taken from wagons after killing Voortrekkers…’

Another speaker -- a former director of the Medical University of South Africa Dr Lem Theron -- was also quoted as stating a few historical but politically-incorrect facts :  i.e. he said that 'South Africa's blacks had never seen a wheel before the Voortrekkers pushed into the interior with their wagons. The first paper they saw was the Bibles they took from the wagons after they killed the Voortrekkers," Theron said.

“The closest blacks came to brain surgery was beating Voortrekkers’ heads in with knobkieries…’

  • "The closest they came to brain surgery was beating the Voortrekkers' heads in with knobkieries. Their only engineering achievement was to hitch a plough onto an ox. They have just celebrated Heritage Day - the only heritage their ancestors left them was a couple of clay pots."

Dr Dan Roodt, who founded PRAAG, the Pro-Afrikaans language cultural organisation, also was quoted stating another very obvious fact namely that "the Afrikaner had to prepare for the possibility of an organised mass assault on whites by black South Africans. The writing is on the wall."

The Vegkop gathering was called to try and decide on how to pursue their goal of Afrikaner self-rule, Ferreira 'reports'.

Freedom Front Plus Jacob Mulder: Vegkop meeting unacceptable:

However, the few Afrikaners who still manage to cling on to a few seats in the local provincial councils and Parliament such as the leader of the Freedom Front Plus in Gauteng province, Jacob Mulder, this week slammed the Vegkop gathering as 'totally unacceptable.’ He said this despite the fact that his party felt the need to join the UNPO, the unrepresented peoples’ and nations organisation in The Hague – because ‘the Afrikaner isn’t politically represented in South Africa’.

Mulder thundered:  ‘the remarks made are very dangerous…’

"The Freedom Front Plus believes that we should be part of the solution in this country, not part of the problem."  He also repeated the party's often-stated policy that 'that Afrikaners were part of the country and had a lot to offer. Our strength lies in our diversity and the government must recognise this and look after the rights of minorities. The Freedom Front Plus condemns hate speech, and the remarks that were made at this meeting are very dangerous. We must learn to live in peace and harmony with each other,"  thundered Jacob Mulder, asked to comment on the contents of a meeting he had not personally attended.

Whites also threatened with genocide by neighbouring Namibia:

Namibia Meanwhile any of these threatened Afrikaner families in South Africa who are hoping to flee to  neighbouring Namibia to try and save themselves from annihilation by South Africa’s many tens of thousands of well-organised, heavily-armed ‘crime’ gangs -- better think again.

This gigantic desert-country country of  only 2.1-million people – 12.6% percent of whom are white and coloured Afrikaans-speakers --  was this month told by its former president Sam Nujoma, speaking in his own language, Oshiwambo that “the British want to be beaten up. Anyone find an Englishman, do so, beat him up,.”(…) “Let us beat them, not with knopkieries, but with hammers in their heads, if they touch one of our SADC countries,” Nujoma said. The whites must know that if they continue doing us harm, we will definitely beat them. They must take their hands away from Zimbabwe,” Nujoma told the Swapo crowd.

Nujoma had prepared a speech in English for the benefit of the the assembled foreign news media --  but had put it aside, instead speaking in Oshiwambo. The only black journalist who reported this hate-speech was Oswald Shivute from The Namibian. http://www.namibian.com.na/index.php?id=28&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=59748&no_cache=1 Here’s his report – in full

"Founding Father talks war again"-
September 9 2009 -- By Oswald Shivute at Ongwediva - “(Namibian) founding president Sam Nujoma accused Britain, the United States and Germany of violating democracy and human rights in parts of the world such as Iraq, Afghanistan and in Zimbabwe. At a Swapo rally at Ongwediva on Saturday, Nujoma claimed that British and American “imperialists” are imposing sanctions on Zimbabwe because its President Robert Mugabe is fighting to provide land to his people.

  • “The British want to be beaten up. Anyone find an Englishman, do so, beat him up,” Nujoma said. He said SADC countries are united and will stand up to anyone who violates the rights of one of its member countries.

'Let us beat them ... with hammers in their heads...'
“Let us beat them, not with knopkieries, but with hammers in their heads, if they touch one of our SADC countries,” Nujoma said.

  • “The whites must know that if they continue doing us harm, we will definitely beat them. They must take their hands away from Zimbabwe,” Nujoma told the Swapo crowd.

He accused the “imperialists” of wanting to exploit Namibia’s natural resources, such as copper, "because Namibians are not skilled enough to do anything with these resources themselves. They want to take away our wealth, our natural materials, and other rights through EPA,” Nujoma said.

  • “They talk about human rights and democracy. Where do they know human rights and democracy if they kill Asians, Iraqis and Afghanis daily?” Nujoma charged.

“They want to take President Mugabe away from his Presidential position in Zimbabwe, and then from there to us here. Be careful. If they come here we will show them and teach them a lesson as we did to South Africa during the liberation war,” Nujoma said. He called on all Namibians to be ready to fight against “the imperialists now killing people in Iraq and Afghanistan”, because it was possible that they would come to Africa next.

Nujoma accused Namibian newspapers of failing to report on “Americans killing people in Iraq and Afghanistan”.
Nujoma said he also did not want people criticising (Namibian) president Hifikepunye Pohamba, “like those white newspapers who are doing so”.

Namibia imports 50% of all its cereal needs:

Comment: Of course Nujoma is entirely correct when he says that 'imperialists' -- i.e. industrialising countries which also of course include Russia, China and India these days -- want to 'exploit its natural resources'.

But this ‘exploitation’ also keeps his people alive:  without the cash from its minerals, Namibians would basically starve to death as they need to import at least 50% of all their food-needs at the best of times. When there’s a ‘drought’ – in Namibia that’s nearly always – they are totally unable to create a sustainable agricultural community although living in a country just over half the size of Alaska – with only 2,1-million people…

Mining accounts for 8% of Namibia's GDP, but provides more than 50% of foreign exchange earnings.
Its rich alluvial diamond deposits make Namibia a primary source for gem-quality diamonds. Namibia is the fourth-largest exporter of nonfuel minerals in Africa, the world's fifth-largest producer of uranium, and the producer of large quantities of lead, zinc, tin, silver, and tungsten. Yet the highly-mechanised mining sector employs only about 3% of thebest-skilled population while about half of the population depends on subsistence agriculture for its livelihood.

  • Namibia thus has to import at least  50% of its cereal requirements each year -- and in its 'drought years' food shortages are at its most severe in rural areas populated by black subsistence-farming tribesmen.

This inability to feed themselves is startling: this gigantic African country has a surface-area of  825,418 sq km – yet in its past 25 years of ‘independence’ it has not bothered to expand one inch of its present 80 sq km of irrigated commercial farm land. And this tiny life-giving patch of reasonably fertile Namibian soil is there only because it was built up over many decades by white Afrikaner and German farmers carting in tons of guano from well-stocked bird-islands next to the bleak Namibian coast.

  • Just like neighbouring Zimbabwe and South Africa, the Namibian government also seems totally unable to build up any kind of sustainable agricultural sector to keep its own populatiion fed and prosperous  -- unless they allow experienced agricultural experts, mostly ethnic Afrikaners and other Europeans --  to run their commercial-style farms. Yet African countries which have embraced European-style commercial farming and land-ownership registries  – such as neighbouring Zambia – show that they can develop a sustainable agricultural sector if they really wanted to…

South African farmers have been called ‘the best farmers in the world’ by the country’s white deputy-agriculture minister, a Freedom Front Plus ‘s opposition-party politician -- who was coopted into this post by SA president Jacob Zuma amidst much backroom grumbling from fellow-Afrikaners, who view him as a ‘sellout’ -- and also with large opposition from Zuma’s own followers and of course all his opponents inside the ANC: all belonging to the Mbeki-factions which view Afrikaners as ‘colonials’ who should just buzz off back to Europe -- instead of ‘the only white tribe of Africa’, as Jacob Zuma does…

Do black Southern African leaders have a self-defeating death-wish?

Do black leaders in southern Africa such as Nujoma, Mugabe and the Malemas and many others inside South Africa have some kind of self-defeating suicide-wish? Why else would people like Nujoma be calling  on their youths to ‘bash in their heads with hammers' ? And why is Mugabe of Zimbabwe so venerated by other African leaders for killing off his white farmers?

Those German- and Afrikaans-speaking Namibian commercial farmers must not feel very comfortable sleeping at night after hearing such hate-speech from the most influential leader of their country this month. One wonders how much longer these skilled commercial farmers are still willing to remain on the entire southern African sub-continent, producing food under such increasingly dangerous circumstances?

‘Kill the Boer, kill the Farmer’  painted in victims’ blood on farmstead’s walls – how much worse can it still get in South Africa?

OdendaalsrustFarmersProtestlotterWomenMurders17April09_LawCourt

Picture above.  In South Africa, the farming community is wondering who amongst the South African leadership motivated those two accused black killer-youths to write ‘Kill the Boer, kill the Farmer’ on the walls of the two murdered Afrikaans farm-women’s homestead walls – in the tortured victims’ own blood, as happened in the Free State on March 6 2009 to the Lotter women?  Pictured above is a protest on April 17 2009 by  the local farming community, who staged a terrifyingly real re-enactment of the way these women, the mother Alice Lotter, 77, and her daughter Helen, 57, both frail and helpless, were tortured to death at their farm in Allenridge near Welkom in the Free State in March 2009.  This protest took place amidst a huge police presence at the bail applications on April 19 of Thapelo Hlongwane (21) and Joseph Khumalo (19), two suspects arrested for these allegedly gruesome acts.

---------------------------------

Mrs Mataba Leeto – ANC-mayor of Odendaalsrust – supported the accused killers of white farmers:

Leeto Matabo Mayor Odendaalsrust with megaphone supporting killers of white farmers April 19 2009 bail application Picture above: What angered the Afrikaans farming-community even more, besides the extremely cruel way in which these women had been slowly tortured to death,  was the fact that the Odendaalsrust ANC- mayor Mathaba Leeto, with megaphone on the right, gave her public support to the accused killers of white farmers by organising a counter-demonstration and drumming up a large police contingent to try and stop the white farmers from holding their demonstration at the Odendaals law court. It all ended peacefully but rather oddly -- with the two groups standing next to each other, singing their respective versions of the national anthem – trying to outdo each other by singing very loudly.  http://censorbugbear-reports.blogspot.com/2009/04/odendaalsrust-law-court-scene-of-angry.html
