KERSTYD.
1.
Aan al ons lesers, u gesinne, familie en vriende wens ons ‘n geseënde
Kersfees en ‘n voorspoedige Nuwe Jaar toe. Mag die komende jaar aan u vreugde
bring, binne die liefde van u huis en mense. En mag die moeilike tye wat vir ons
as volk voorlê meer draaglik wees in die liefde van ons Verlosser, wie se
wonderlike menswording en geboorte meer as tweeduisend jaar gelede ons nou
herdenk.

EX AMERICA...
2. Onderstaande uittreksel kom uit ‘n
brief geskryf deur ‘n Amerikaner, wat op sy eie trein in anderland ry, - maar
wie se standpunte vir ons, in ons omstandighede, nogal insiggewend en leersaam
is:
“Aha! you say. Now here is where
Harold goes off into another one of his rants about how we all have to move to
the Northwest and overthrow the government, which is ridiculous because everyone
knows that ZOG is invincible and would simply destroy us, that Fukuyama was
right and this is the end of history and this evil system is immortal and
eternal, that the White race is doomed waaaaaaah boo hoo hoo baw oh it's all so
horrible we were strong and brave once but it's all over now sniffle boo hoo hoo
waaaaaah baw why doesn't Harold just shut up and let us cry into our beer
in peace until we slowly slide off the bar stool and melt into the earth?
”Right?
”Close, but no cigar.
”This is where Harold goes into one of his rants demanding that you begin
preparing NOW (not next week, not next year) to face a geopolitical,
biopolitical, and economic situation which does NOT YET EXIST, but which most
certainly WILL exist at some point in the future.
”This is where Harold demands that you finally make a choice, one you have
been avoiding for most of your lives. That choice is: are you actually serious
about all this, or not? If so, then events and historical imperative have told
you what you must do. You must finally, at long last, cease to produce nothing
but words... Your race no longer needs your words... Your race needs YOU.
”It is time for you to stop speaking, stop writing, and commit an overt act of
resistance. That does not (necessarily) entail throwing a bomb or shooting
someone. An act of resistance is one that A) interferes with the occupying
power's agenda, or B) creates an alternative to the occupying power. It is
possible to do this without physical violence, and sometimes even possible to do
it
without breaking the oppressor's laws...”
IN
AFRIKA...
3.
- Tot sover onse Harold. Vervang ‘race’ met ‘volk’, vergeet van Harold
die person, en siedaar, ons het die perfekte inleiding tot Die Boer Uitgawe No
6. Ons staar nie net sekere situasies in die gesig nie, - ons klein ou volkie
staan aan die vooraand van ‘n kataklistiese omwenteling, wat baie maklik tot
ons ondergang as ‘n eie, blanke volk op Afrika-bodem kan lei as ons nie oppas
nie. Ons het laas nog na onsself verwys as die klimmers teen die berg uit, met
die kruin wat onsigbaar wink, - in plaas van klim, kan ons net sowel afgevee
word, die afgrond in, deur die bruisende stortvloed van volksmoord en
verguising, wat in hierdie seisoen van swart reën sal kom so seker as wat
seisoene verander. Wat trouens reeds begin het en die een na die ander slagoffer
laat gly en neerstort.
4. Sedert die
laaste nuusbrief se verskyning,
het die ‘Boeremag’ nog meer opslae gemaak in die Azaniese media, - en
is Boere wat daaraan gekoppel word natuurlik na hartelus swartgesmeer, uitgekryt
as terroriste, gejag en uiteindelik in hegtenis geneem.
Spreekwoordelik gestel, het
hulle waarskynlik vinniger probeer
ophardloop, en is hulle deur die reën en die glyerige grond gepootjie. Nou sit
daar al ongeveer dertig van hierdie Boere as politieke gevangenes in die tronk,
met tot dusver geen aanduiding van moontlike borg vir meeste van hulle nie. Soos
laas gesê: Onthou, hulle is ons volksgenote, wat blykbaar bereid was om hulle
nekke uit te steek vir ons almal se vryheid, en as sulks verdien hulle ons
simpatie. En om simpatie te hê vir jou naaste is gelukkig - nog - nie verbied
deur die heersende ANC.Kommuniste en hulle neo-kommunistiese wette nie. En laat
ons hulle ook help daar waar ons kan. Die
Azaniers wil mos so skynheilig wees en gee so hoog op
oor menseregte en dat enigiemand onskuldig bly tot hy skuldig bevind word
in ‘n hof, - dan is hierdie Boere mos onskuldig tot ten minste Mei-maand
volgende jaar wanneer hulle hofsaak eers begin!
LAER TREK.
3. Kom ons
keer terug na die tipe weerstand waarna hierbo verwys word. Overgezet zynde op
ons situasie, bevestig dit nie net die vier prioriteite wat ons laas reeds
genoem het nie, nl. dat ons moet aanhou werk en bou en voorberei vir wat kom, dat ons moet aanhou aandring op ons
vryheid, dat ons nie aan die
vreemde gesag die verskoning moet bied om ons verset af te maak as iets anders
as ware VOLKSverset en ‘n vryheidstryd nie, en dat ons as Boere moet bymekaar kom, weer en weer, totdat ons die stryd
kan aanknoop onder ‘n geloofwaardige volksgesag. Dit plaas die klem op een
eerste, enkele, allerbelangrike DAAD, wat nie alleen volkome wettig is binne die
Azaniese bestel nie, maar wat ook tot jou eie persoonlik voordeel sal wees sodra
die aanvanklike inersie oorkom is: Om laer te trek. Nie met ossewaens nie, maar met al die
moderne hulpmiddele tot ons beskikking. En nie saam met Oom Rip van Winkel nie,
maar met al die moderne Boer van die een-en-twintigste eeu. En dis boonop die
in-ding vandag. Kyk maar rond, - wat is die duisende sekuriteitsdorpies,
beveiligde groep-behuising en afgesperde woonbuurte orals in die wonderlik
getransformeerde ‘Nuwe SA’ anders as laer-trek?
Die feit dat meeste van hierdie ‘laers’ ‘n mislukkingsfaktor
ingebou het in die vorm van vreemde arbeid, vreemde wagte en vreemde
indringing, neem nie weg van die beginsel nie, nl. dat ons moet laertrek om te
kan oorleef, - letterlik. Dis mos
oor na ons toe om dit reg te doen.
4. Wat
behels dit alles? Rome is nie in
een dag gebou nie, en niemand verwag dat ons almal in ‘n dag se tyd sal
regkom nie. As u reeds op een of ander manier laer getrek het, op watter
manier ook al, bou maar net voort daarop, verbeter,
versterk, maak veiliger. Indien nie, kyk om u heen, en besluit waar en hoe en
wanneer. Maar moenie te lank wag nie, - die vyand sluip rond soos ‘n honger
gedierte, en hy is reeds besig om ons mense so een-een te beroof, te vang en op
te vreet. Die kern en sleutel van alles is MENSE. A u alleen is, kry iemand
anders by. Of trek by iemand anders
in. As algemene beginsel geld: Van
een maak twee, van twee maak drie, van drie maak vier, ensovoorts.
Ons het geen werklike beskerming deur die polisie soos in die ou dae nie.
Die polisie behoort nou aan die vreemde staat, - en wat voel hy vir ons? Ons is
op onsself aangewese om te oorleef, en dit beteken ons eie mense, - met al ons
skete en pyne en swakhede en probleme.
5. Dit
alles, natuurlik, in die vaste geloof en vertroue op ons Allerhoogste en
Almagtige God, en die vertroue op die goeie reg van ons saak. Om iets hier te
bereik, vereis ‘n redelike mate van sulke vertroue, beplanning, vooruitsig,
finansiele verantwoordelikheid en persoonlike ongerief. Dit sal nie maklik wees
nie. Soos onse Harold dit stel: Dit beteken om die spaargeldjies te spaar vir
‘n doel, in plaas daarvan om dit aan Solly Kramer of die vet base van die
lotery te loop gee. Dit beteken werk, en moeite, en die tipiese risiko en drama
wat altyd gepaard gaan met ‘n groot uitdaging, - maar dis die moeite werd. Dit
kan die verskil uitmaak tussen oorleef en nie oorleef nie. Beide as individue en
as volk. Die een gaan dit nie maak sonder die ander nie. Vra maar die blankes
van Zimbabwe...
6.
Hierdie vorm van weerstand, sodra voltooi, is baie meer effektief as ‘n bom of
‘n sneller wat jy trek. Trouens, dit is die allereerste stap, maak nie saak
WAT ons wil doen nie. Voordat ons ons land kan bevry, moet ons eers ons land
SKEP! Kyk gerus na hoe die
land om meeste van ons tans lyk, - kan u dit so bevry? Dis tog ‘n onbegonne
taak so. Meeste van ons leef tans soos die Boere by Bloukrans, - in ‘n totaal
onveilige wêreldjie van ons eie, salig onbewus van wat om ons aangaan, van wat
die bedreiging is, en van wat op ons afkom. Net soos die Boere van 1838, moet
ons eers laer trek, voor ons uit hierdie gemors kan uitkom.
7.
Waar hierdie nuusbrief vandaan kom, word die laer verder uitgebou, stadig maar
seker, DV. Ons het laas vertel van die werk wat plaasvind op Balmoral, om nie
net laer te trek nie, maar ook om ons jongmense op te lei om te kán werk rondom
die onaantasbare erfenis wat daar te siene is. Intussen is die Gimnasium se Ope
Dag gehou. Met goeie reëns om
enersyds die boere se harte te verbly, en andersins dalk sommige mense weg te
hou. Daar het tot dusver twee
voornemende studente vir die sweis-kursus aangemeld, en hulle so een-een inkom,
kan die volle tien teen die begin van die opleiding dalk bymekaar wees. Ons
praat weer hieroor wanneer die Gimnasium voltooi is
en die opleiding ‘n aanvang neem aan die begin van volgende jaar, DV.
8. Wat die voorgestelde nodule
aanbetref, rondom ons onaantasbare erfenis waaromheen ons as volk in hierdie
post-herdenkingstyd kan saamtrek, fisies,
maar ook geestelik, - die reaksie was teleurstellend.
Dalk is ons mense eenvoudig te vuisvoos en teleurgestel
oor die volksakker. Kom ons kyk met
die volgende uitgawe weer daarna.
9.
Laat ons afsluit met wat onse Harold mee afsluit:
“Ten
years from now, this idea that now seems so weird and frightening to
you all will be generally accepted…, worldwide, as the way we have to go. But
that does not mean that you should wait. You are being given your call NOW.
There is only one solution to ALL our problems… a country of our own where
white men hold state power and defend that state with the sword. Your duty
station within this historic struggle is to begin the creation of that state.
Come home, my brothers and sisters.
Come home.”
SLOT
10.
Soos altyd, - oor na u toe. Ons hier by Die Boer kan maar net skryf, - u, die
leser, en almal wat u
kan bereik, sal bepaal hoe die meer algemene, groter Boere herlewing
vorder. Ons weet nie of dit wat ons
skryf ooit enige verskil maak nie, - ons weet net dat indien daar nie genoeg
Boere is wat doen wat gedoen moet word nie, dan is dit nag. Dis kerstyd,
en tradisioneel die bymekaarkomtyd
vir die gesin en familie. Dis ‘n goeie tyd om ook te besin oor die vashou en
bymekaarkom as volk rondom die onaantasbare Boere erfenis wat God deur ons voorouers se offers vir ons
daargestel het. Dis al kans wat ons
het op oorlewing hier in Afrika. Die Zanufisering van Suid-Afrika is op pad, en
as enkelinge, sonder volk, sal ons
vir seker eindig soos die ryke, maar tog arme blanke van Zimbabwe op die een
koerant-foto: ‘n Patetiese,
gebroke ou man, wat die paar armsalige meubels wat hy mag saamneem op die trok
laai…. Dis nou as ons gelukkig is en ons keel nie voor die tyd afgesny word
nie.

volgende uitgawe sal verskyn vroeg in volgende jaar, DV.

A.
OPDRAAND.
1.
Soos die klimmers op meegaande foto, wat geneem is tydens vanjaar se laaste Slag
van Majuba herdenking, is ons as Boere besig om voort te beur, stap vir stap,
maand na maand, jaar na jaar, teen ‘n moeilike, steil opdraand uit. Soms is
ons nie eens seker of ons boontoe beweeg nie. Bo lê die kruin vir ons en wag,
met die heerlike belofte van vryheid en oorwinning. Maar ons kan nog niks sien
nie, - dit lê onsigbaar, onder die bloue hemel van hierdie pragtige, maar
geskende vaderland van ons. As ons
maar net kan aanhou klim, deur werk en bou en stry teen alles wat ons
terughou, stadig maar seker teen die berg van herlewing uit, - dan sal
ons uiteindelik bo kan staan, DV, - maar sal ons?
B.
POST-HERDENKING
2.
Die 100-jarige herdenking van die Anglo-Boere Oorlog is verby. Individue en
organisasies het probeer om daarvan ‘n volksbeweging te maak, om dit te
gebruik om die volk in beweging te bring op pad terug na ons verlore vryheid, -
maar hulle het misluk, ten minste wat die groot meerderheid van ons mense
aanbetref. Die verraad, misleiding
en bedrog rondom die begrippe volk en verset sedert die vroeë negentigs was so
groot, en die persepsie van algehele, lafhartige oorgawe so verlammend, dat
meeste Boere nie sommerso uit hulle gate sal te voorskyn kom nie. Terwyl ons
vyande hulleself op die skouer klop en gelukwens met die totale
‘transformasie’ van Suid-Afrika, is meeste van ons vasgevang in ’n
moeilike stryd om oorlewing en om te doen wat ook al ons elkeen glo ons moet
doen. Min van ons opregte Boere, indien enige, het tyd of die vermoë om aan ons
vryheidstryd enige aandag te gee. Baie van die wat kan, emigreer of tref
voorbereidings om te emigreer. Baie van die wat bly aanvaar die vreemde
heerskappy net so, by gebrek aan enige hoop op ‘n spoedige verandering.
Daar is selfs blankes wat liries raak oor die ‘opwindende
geleenthede’ wat hulle raaksien in die sogenaamde Nuwe Suid-Afrika. En die
Azaniese (‘Nuwe SA’) media doen natuurlik hulle bes om hierdie aanvaarding
aan te help deur enersyds die swart, kommunistiese regime te vergoeilik, en
andersyds enige weerstand af te maak as rassisties en synde die werk van ‘n
klein en onbeduidende groepie ‘regses’, wat totaal uit voeling is met die
grote gros van ons mense.
3. Intussen het ‘n hele paar maande
verbygegaan, en ons vra om verskoning dat hierdie uitgawe van Die Boer so lank
agterweë gebly het. Maar ons was
besig met ‘n geskarrel en gespook om teen die einde van hierdie jaar darem ten
minste ‘n Boere opleidingssentrum gereed te hê vir die begin van volgende
jaar. Meer daaroor later. Met die
laaste nuusbrief het ons gekonsentreer op die herdenking van die Vrede van
Vereeniging. Ons het gesê, en ons haal aan, ons byt vas, ons het hoop en ons
maak ons stand HIER, waar ons gebore is en waar ons die volste reg het op ons
eie. En ons het die uitdaging gerig om die geleentheid, wat die Vrede van
Vereeniging ons bied, te benut en bymekaar te kom en die BEWYS lewer dat ons nog
as volk wil voortbestaan. Soos by vorige geleenthede rondom die herdenking, het
daar net ‘n baie klein deeltjie van ons volk opgedaag, - en die koue en nat
weer was nie die enigste verduideliking nie. U sal hopelik simpatie hê as ons sê
dit het ons vir ‘n tyd lank heel moedeloos gemaak.
4. Intussen het daar die sogenaamde Boeremag op die
toneel verskyn, wat na bewering ‘n Boererepubliek wou uitroep en die Azaniese
staat omvergooi. Om alles te noem wat die Azaniese staatsapparaat en sy lakeie
in die staats-beheerde en -dienende media oor hierdie ‘ver-regses’ (soos
hulle ge-etiketeer word) sê en
skryf, terwyl hulle gejag en in die
selle gegooi word, sal te lank neem. Genoeg om op te som, dat alles uitgehaal
word om hulle swart te smeer en aan allerhande negatiewe konnotasies te koppel,
nog lank voor die begin van die hofsaak. Hulle word nou van hoogverraad en
terrorisme deur die Azaniese staat aangekla,
en veg teen ‘n regstelsel wat intussen reeds baie ver
‘getransformeer’ is. Wat ons ook al van die beskuldigdes en hulle
optredes dink (en onthou, ons het tot nou toe nog net die Azaniese 2de-, 3de- en
4de handse propaganda gehoor), -
feit is, hulle is volksgenote, wat blykbaar bereid was om hulle nekke uit te
steek vir ons almal se vryheid, en as sulks verdien hulle ons simpatie. En om
simpatie te hê vir jou naaste is gelukkig - nog - nie verbied deur die
heersende ANC.Kommuniste en hulle neo-kommunistiese wette nie.
Vandag
is dit hierdie groep Boere, wat onder die Regime en sy lakeie moet deurloop as
‘terroriste’. MôRE IS DIT U EN U MENSE, wat soos in Zimbabwe uitgedryf sal
word as ‘wit grond-diewe’, ‘uitbuiters’ en, as u uself teensit, ook
‘terroriste’. Net ‘n absolute idioot sal nou nog daaraan twyfel dat die
blatante, skaamtelose Mugabe-tipe swart ommegang
op pad is. Die moord en doodslag, verkragtings en rowery is in elk geval
reeds volstoom aan die gang, net baie erger. Net soos in Zimbabwe voór die
finale uitdrywing, praat hulle nou
ook al hier van grond vat wat kamma ‘onbenut’ daar lê, - terwyl miljoene
hektaar staatsgrond geignoreer word, en meeste ‘her-verdeelde’ grond op
mislukkings uitloop. En net soos in Zimbabwe het hulle hier ook begin om die
regbank te ‘transformeer’, sodat regters en landdroste nie langer in die pad
van die heersende terreur, staatsmag en grond-gryp politiek kan kom nie.
In
1992, toe Mugabe en sy swart regime
al 12 jaar lank die septer geswaai het in Zimbabwe, was die skrif reeds aan die
muur, - maar die oorblywende blankes het hulle oë daarvoor gesluit, en
aangegaan met hulle lewens so goed as wat hulle kon. Hulle het geen aanspraak
meer gemaak op ‘n eie volkskap nie en was vir alle praktiese doeleindes
andersoortige selle in ‘n vreemde liggaam.
Maar op ‘n blanke plaas op die Zimbabwiese hoëveld kon ‘n mens jou verbeel
dat ‘n mens tog met dit alles kon saamleef...
Ons
weet almal wat nou daar gebeur. Wat eintlik al in 1990 moes gebeur het, as
Mugabe se maatjies nie vir hom gesê het hy moet wag tot Suid-Afrika ook
‘getransformeer’ is nie. Deur de Klerk-hulle se verraad, is ons vandag in
presies dieselfde posisie. Omdat ons alle staatsmag, om onsself teen die
dreigende onreg te kan verdedig, uit ons hande gegee het en oënskynlik totaal
uitgelewer is aan die swart, kommunistiese regime. En die arme Boere wat hulle
nekke uitsteek en ‘n eie Boererepubliek wil stig, word verguis en in die tronk
gestop.
5.
En wat nou? Is dit ikabod met die Boervolk? Aanvaar ons dat hierdie roemryke
volk nou werklik net as klein minderheidjie in hulle eie land as bywoners moet
voortbestaan?
HOOP?
6. Juis
in hierdie laaste , oënskynlik mislukte Boere-rebellie is daar egter ook goeie
nuus. Dit is eerstens nou duidelik dat dit nie net ‘n handvol dinosaurusse is
wat hulleself Boere noem en hulle eie Boerestaat wil hê nie. Van die manne wat
verskyn het maak ‘n goeie indruk op vriend én vyand. Tweedens het die
Azaniese staat waarskynlik ‘n fout gemaak deur hulle van hoogverraad aan te
kla. Dit vestig die aandag daarop dat ‘n betekenisvolle deel van die blanke
bevolking nie deel wil wees van hierdie kunsmatige, gesowjetiseerde eenheidstaat
nie. Onthou, ons het nooit toestemming gegee dat de Klerk ons eie staat net so
tot niet mag maak nie. Afgesien van groot vraagtekens oor die uitslag, het sy
referendumvraag gegaan oor hervorming, nie totale uitverkoping nie. En laastens
kan ‘n mens nogal uitsien na die hofsaak. Tensy die regters al almal
‘getransformeer’ en verpolitiseer is, sal die Regime maar sukkel om in ‘n
ope hof te bewys wat hulle so ligtelik op
die klagstaat plaas.
7.
Daar is dus klein ligpuntjies, en waar daar nog lewe is, is daar hoop,
juis in hierdie tyd van beproewing. Maar dan moet ons konsentreer op dit wat
onaantasbaar is, waaraan ons vyande
niks kan doen nie. Hulle kan nie die beskuldigde in die hof keer om sy saak te
stel nie. En daarbuite, kan hulle nog minder doen aan mense wat werk, wat ons
jongmense oplei om te kán werk, en wat werk om ons eie erfenis te bewaar. Veral
as ons dit doen rondom ‘n erfenis wie se kern die duisende Boere kinders en
vrouens is wat orals in die land
hierdie Afrika-bodem met hulle onskuldige bloed deurdrenk het.
Dan is dit onaantasbaar. Dis
nie die kunsmatige, vals erfenis wat die Regime vandag in almal se keelgate wil
afdruk nie, - dis ons eie 350-jarige Christelike, Westerse VOLKSerfenis wat
orals op hierdie suidpunt van Afrika te vinde is, en wat nou in ons jeug soek na
‘n eie, beskaafde toekoms. Sonder
‘n eie volkserfenis het ons nie ‘n toekoms op hierdie vasteland nie, - dis
orals in Afrika bewys. Maar saam met ons volkserfenis kan, en moet, ons ook ons
eie toekoms SKEP, waar ons nie soos die kommersiële plaasboere van Zimbabwe
sommerso weggejaag kan word nie.
BEGINSELS
8.
Dis ‘n ou beginsel dat, wanneer jy nie kan reguit gaan nie, jy links- of
regsom gaan. En wanneer jy nie kan vorentoe nie, dan skop jy eers vas net waar
jy is. Of gaan eers agtertoe, om dan later weer terug te kom en weer te probeer.
En al die tyd hou jy jou mense bymekaar en gee nie moed op nie. Dis eers wanneer
alles
totaal
uitmekaaruit val, wanneer almal weghardloop en geen saak meer het met die stryd
nie, dat dit hopeloos word. Ons was mos al daar, by sulke tye waar dit GELYK het
of alles verlore was: Toe die Boere tydens die Tweede Vryheidsoorlog die
konvensionele stryd verloor het. En, nog ‘n beter voorbeeld: Toe die Britte
voor die Eerste Vryheidsoorlog die ZAR sonder slag of stoot beset en van 1877
tot 1880 as kolonie geregeer het. En wat het toe gebeur?
‘n Paul Kruger het opgestaan
en met ‘n meesterlike kombinasie van swaard en onderhandeling die Boere se
vryheid teruggewen. En in die latere stryd het Christiaan de Wet en die ander
helde die manne bymekaargemaak en die guerrillastryd aangeknoop, wat baie
historici nog steeds glo nie noodwendig met ‘n oorgawe hoef te geeindig het
nie.
9.
Die mees toepaslike parallel met ons huidige situasie is die tyd van 1877 tot
1880. Net soos toe, het ons ons vryheid verloor en word ons geregeer deur ‘n
vreemde regime, onder ‘n vreemde vlag en ‘n vreemde staatsdiens. Net soos
toe, het ons nou ook die joiners en lakeie wat
die vreemde heersende regime dien in die vorm van ‘die regering van die
dag’. Hoe het die Boere van die vorige eeu uiteindelik by suksesvolle verset
uitgekom? Eerstens, deur aan
te hou werk, en bou, en mekaar te help voorberei vir wat kom. Tweedens,
deur aan te dring op hulle vryheid, in die vaste geloof en vertroue op ons
Allerhoogste en Almagtige God, en die vertroue op die goeie reg van hulle saak,
- ongeag die propaganda van ‘onomkeerbaarheid’
en die oënskynlik hopelose situasie. Derdens, deur niks te doen
wat aan die vreemde gesag die verskoning sou bied om die verset af te maak as
iets anders as ware VOLKSverset en ‘n vryheidstryd nie. Die Boere het nie
vrouens vermoor of onskuldige burgerlikes opgeblaas nie. So iets is die modus
operandi van terroriste organisasies soos die ANC/Kommunisties alliansie, en is
deel van hulle ‘struggle’-kultuur,- maar vir ‘n Christelike, eerste-wêreldse,
blanke volk is dit onaanvaarbaar en sal nie deug om ons mense te mobiliseer nie.
En, vierdens, het die Boere van ouds bymekaargekom, weer en weer, eers in
klein getalle, later by geleenthede soos in Potchefstroom en by Paardekraal, en
uiteindelik die stryd aangeknoop onder ‘n geloofwaardige volksgesag.
10.
Tye verander, en die vergelyking tussen toe en nou kan nie te ver geneem word
nie. Maar beginsels verander nie. Indien ons ernstig is omtrent ons
brandende begeerte om vry te wees, en suksesvol wil wees, moet alles binne die
volgende raamwerk plaasvind:
a.
Ons moet oorleef, ons moet
aanhou werk, en verder opbou wat ons ook al begin het (en probeer hou wat ons
het), en mekaar help om veral ons jongmense op te lei en voor te berei op die
lewe in ‘getransfromeerde’ Nuwe
Suid-Afrika. Ons, die ouer geslag, het ‘n vrye en wonderlike toekoms gehad in
‘n eie staat, - ons beter sorg dat ons kinders nie totaal onvoorbereid vir die
wolwe gegooi word nie.
b.
Ons moet aanhou aandring op ons vryheid, - onder mekaar en na buite, in
vandag se media, op die internet,
in die howe, op straat, orals waar ons nog ‘n vermoë en beweegruimte het.
Niemand sal na ons luister as hulle niks sien of hoor van ons nie. Ons moenie
kla oor die lakeie en hulle vyandiggesinde media soos Skewe Beeld nie, en ons
kan nie van hulle verwag dat hulle ons saak propageer nie, - hulle word betaal
deur, en is onderhorig aan, die heersende Regime en sy gewetenlose lakeie, en is
in elk geval te lafhartig om enigsins teen hulle meesters te doen en sê. Ons
moet SELF ons saak stel, waar en wanneer ons kan. Kyk maar na Pagad, - hulle het
nie eens ‘n saak nie, net ‘n spul terroriste, moordenaars en dwelm-smouse, -
en kyk hoe mobiliseer hulle en dra hulle hulle standpunte oor! Hierdie nuusbrief
is EEN medium, wat ons aanwend om die goeie reg van ons
vryheidsstryd oor te dra. En ons gee aan u en almal wat ons saak op die
hart dra die nodige
toerusting om op u beurt weer ons goeie saak te stry, waar ook al en hoe
ook al en wanneer
ook al u dit kan doen.
c.
Derdens moet ons enigiets vermy wat enigsins deur ons vyande gebruik kan
word om ons saak mee af te kraak en die aandag af te trek van waaroor dit gaan,
naamlik volksvryheid. Ons moet ook onthou dat die vreemde staatsgesag, wat tans
oor ons regeer, nie skroom om sy agentskappe te gebruik om Boere geledere te
infiltreer en sogenaamde ‘dirty tricks’ operasies te loods nie. Die huidige
verwikkelinge rondom die Boere rebelle is ‘n goeie voorbeeld daarvan. Die
regerende Regime spandeer miljoene op agente en verraaiers. Dit kom mos van ver
af, - hoeveel keer is daar nie ‘n staatsgetuie wat in die hof teen sy
‘makkers’ getuig nie?
d.
En
vierdens moet ons bymekaarkom, letterlik en figuurlik, rondom ons stryd om ons
vryheid terug te win. U sal sê hoe de joos sal ons dit regkry as ons nie eens
rondom die herdenking van die Boere-Oorlog groot getalle kan bymekaarkry nie?
Laat ons net vir ‘n oomblik hier stilstaan en mooi hieroor nadink.
Beteken die feit dat ons mense huidiglik by sulke geleenthede nie wil of kan in
hulle tienduisende bymekaarkom nie, werklik dat dit onmoontlik is om ons mense
sodanig te mobliseer dat ons kan bewys die Boerevolk bestaan, om sodoende die
regte van die Boerevolk op te kan eis ?
DIE
VOORBEREIDING
11. Sommige van ons raak geweldig ongeduldig
en gefrustreerd met die feit dat dinge net al hoe slegter gaan en niks gebeur oënskynlik
aan ons kant nie, - en dit, wat gebeur, loop op mislukkings uit. Lê die fout
nie ten minste tot ‘n mate dalk by ons self nie?
As ons iets wil bou, moet die fondasie reg wees. En as ons wil werk, moet
ons goed opgelei wees, - veral in hierdie Azaniese omgewing.
Dis hoekom ‘n groepie Boere die Balmoral Gimnasium Vereniging gestig
het, wie se doel is om opleiding van ons mense, teen wie daar tans
gediskrimineer word, aan te moedig en te implementeer en om werksgeleemthede te
skep. Om dit te kan bereik, en om letterlik oor ‘n sterk fondasie daarvoor
te kan beskik, is daar ‘n
opleidings- sentrum spesifiek vir hierdie doel gebou. Meegaande fotos gee darem ‘n idee van hoe ver dit gevorder
het: Die groot gebou met sy werskvloer en woonstel vir ‘n instrukteur, en die
houthuise met slaapkwartiere, ablusies, kombuis en eetsaal vir die studente.
12. As eerste kursus word beplan ‘n sweis-kursus. Dit sal aangebied
word deur ‘n gekwalifiseerde vakinstrukteur. Die kursus is ingeskakel by ‘n
bestaande nywerheid, wat dan sy
amptelike toetsbeampte beskikbaar stel om kandidate behoorlik te
kwalifiseer en te kodifiseer na elke fase. Die kursus is opgebreek in
opleidingsmodules, wat elkeen eers
opgevolg word deur toepaslike werk om die teorie prakties te bevestig.
Vordering hang af van die student se prestasie. Ander
moontlike opleiding sluit in trekker-bestuur, bou, houtwerk,
ondernemerskap, toerisme, sekuriteit, en basiese diensopleiding. Opleiding moet
prakties, intensief en van ‘n hoë gehalte wees, en kwalifikasies moet ten
minste in Suid-Afrika landwyd erken word.
Kursusdeelnemers bly
op die terrein, is onderworpe aan die sentrum se dissipline en roetine, en staan
direk onder die gesag van ‘n opleidingsoffisier. Die doel is nie net om hulle
te kwalifiseer in ‘n gegewe vakrigting nie, maar ook om hulle fisies en
geestelik te help ontwikkel om binne die sogenaamde Nuwe Suid-Afrika te kan
oorleef as Boere, en, indien
moontlik, as selfstandige
ondernemers.
13.
Die opleiding sal Januarie volgende jaar begin, DV. Vanaf Sondag, 8 Desember, tot Maandag, 16 Desember, word ‘n
Voor-Kursus aangebied op die terrein van die Balmoral Gimnasium (langs
die Museum, sien aanwysings onder), waartydens voornemende studente aan ‘n
interessante avontuurkamp sal deelneem, waartydens hulle tussen-in aan verskeie
vakrigtings blootgestel sal word. Die doel is tweërlei:
Eerstens, vir die studente om seker te maak van wat hulle wil doen, om te
kyk of hulle kans sien vir die opleiding wat aangebied sal word,
en sommer net om dit te geniet. Tweedens, vir die instrukteurs om
voornemende studente te leer ken, hulle prakties met verskeie ambagte in
aanraking te bring, belandstelling te toets met die oog op wat aangebied kan en
sal word, en studente te
evalueer. Die Voorkursus sal voorafgegaan word deur ‘n
Ope Dag op Saterdag 7
Desember, wanneer
die Gimnasium met ‘n uitstalling bekend gestel sal word, DV.
Die instrukteurs sal dan beskikbaar
wees vir navrae oor kursusse, en
aanmeldings vir die Voorkursus kan net daar geskied. Navrae: Willem Ratte, Tel

DIE
BYMEKAARKOM
14.
Kom ons spel dit net weereens duidelik uit, want dit is die kern waarom alles
draai: Ons is Boere, en as die regmatige erfgename van die Boere van ouds het
ons ook ‘n internasionaal erkende reg op vryheid en ons eie staat, waarbinne
ons ons Christelike waardes, ons tradisies, ons kultuur en volkskap kan uitleef
onder ons eie regering, met ons eie polisie en weermag, ons eie skole en
hospitale, en al die eie dinge wat elke ander volk in die wêreld as
vanselfsprekend aanvaar. Ons moet net eers BEWYS dat ons Boere IS, dis al. Die
herdenking van die Vrede van Vereeniging het gekom en gegaan, en die volk het
nie vorendag gekom nie. Die ‘Boere-rebelle’ het gekom en gegaan
en daar het basies niks verander nie behalwe dat daar net nog meer Boere
toegesluit is. Noudat ons almal kan sien ons kan nie só-om gaan nie, -
dan kan ons mos ánderkant om gaan. En wat is dié ánderkant om? Dis hier waar
die verskil inkom tussen die vorige eeu en vandag. Vandag is dit mos nie meer
altyd nodig om fisies bymekaar te kom om met mekaar te kommunikeer en iets saam
te doen nie, - ons beskik mos oor al die nodige tegniese hulpmiddele, wat
betrokkenheid oor ‘n afstand moontlik maak, ten minste tot ‘n sekere mate en
tydens sekere fases.
15.
Diegene van u wat redelik ingelig is oor wat ‘op die volksakker’ aangaan,
sal dadelik besef daar is een groot probleem, wat enige poging in hierdie
verband gaan kelder indien dit nie reg aan die begin doeltreffend opgelos word
nie: Dit is die feit dat hierdie ‘volksakker’ tans so dig toegegroei is van
allerhande plante, waardevolle koring gemeng met nuttelose onkruid en gevaarlike
gif alles deurmekaar, dat enige opregte poging gevaar loop om verswelg te word
lank voordat hy behoorlik die
daglig sal kan sien. Die gewone man op straat het lankal moed opgegee om ooit
die kaf (en die gif) van die koring
te kan skei, en bly dus maar veilig op ‘n afstand... Maar u sal saamstem dat
dit ook nie ‘n oplossing is nie. Alleen, elkeen op sy of haar eie, sal ons
deur ons vyande letterlik uitgeroei word. Vra maar vir die duisende der
duisende in hierdie geknelde land wat reeds slagoffers geword het van die
barbaarse aanslag. Wat die beskeie pogings wat hier ter sprake is aanbetref, kom
kyk en oordeel maar self of dit die moeite werd is.
16.
Die Nodule. Laat ons net vinnig ‘n voorraad-opname doen: Wat het ons,
wat reeds bestaan, wat onaantasbaar is, en wat geskik is om te dien as ‘n
onaantasbare nodule waaromheen ons as volk in hierdie post-herdenkingstyd kan
saamtrek? Dis fisies, maar ook geestelik. Daar is natuurlik eerstens ons
Christelike geloof, waardes en tradisies. Asook dit wat juis deur die herdenking
uitgelig is: Die konsentrasiekampe en hulle begraafplase, slagvelde en musea.
Daar is ons monumente, waar hulle nie gekaap is deur volksvreemde elemente of
selfs omgeruk is nie. En daar is natuurlik ons mense self, veral ons jonges. Dis
dus ons ERFENIS oor die algemeen. Aan die einde van die dag is dit al waaraan
ons kan vasklou, siende dat ons ou SA staat en al ons fisiese besittings
uitgelewer is aan ‘n vreemde staatsgesag en sy gierige hordes. En so is dit
dan ook die vashouplek, die beginpunt, wat as nodule moet dien waaromheen ons
moet bymekaarkom om te kan oorleef, die Boerevolk te laat herrys en ons vryheid
kan herwin.
17. Kom ons gee dit dan ‘n
naam. Soos die Boere Erfenis Vereniging (BEV). Ons hou dit eenvoudig en suiwer
en Boer-gerig, a-polities en samebindend-Christelik, nie volks-verdelend.
En ons steek dit nie onder die maat-emmer weg nie, maar laat sy lig skyn.
Ons is mos trots om Boere te wees. As Vereniging,
met behoorlike statute. Ons gebruik die standaard uitleg, maar omskryf die doel
om die Boere saak te dien. Soos volg:
Om die behoud, bewaring en volhoubare benutting van die fisiese en
geestelike erfenis van die Boerevolk te
verseker. En ons
probeer ons mense daaromheen versamel. Navrae:

AANHANGSEL C
WIE
IS DIE BOERE?
Die Boere is die fisiese en geestelike nasate van
daardie 250 000 wit manne, vroue en kinders gebore en gebrei in Afrika,
wat na die ruines van hulle plase en huise teruggekeer het na die
vernederende Vrede van Vereeniging in 1902,
wat in 1910 in die half-onafhanklike ‘Dominion’ van
die Unie van Suid-Afrika ingesleep is, saam met hulle Boere/Afrikaner- en
Engels-sprekende landgenote van die Kaap en Natal, onder die pro-Britse
Boeregeneraals Louis Botha en Jannie Smuts,
wat onder die leierskap van Boeregeneraals Christiaan
de Wet en Koos de la Rey opgestaan het in ‘n heldhaftige, maar tragiese
rebellie in 1914, om hulle verlore vryheid te probeer herwin,
wie se Boere nasionalisme vervolgens opgeneem is in die
ontwikkeling van die breër wit
Suid-Afrikaanse nasionalisme, - terwyl die plaaslike Engelse- en ander
Euro-sentriese kulture geabsorbeer en wedersyds verryk is,
wat die politieke oppergesag herwin het in 1948 binne
dié breër nasionalisme,
wat die beleid van apartheid ingestel het, - nie om
enigiemand te onderdruk nie, soos die Boere-hater propaganda dit wil hê ons
moet glo,. – maar om presies die teenoorgestelde te doen : Om ál die
histories benadeelde en onderdrukte nasies uit hulle koloniale multi-kulturele
en multi-nasionale erfenis te lei na groter vryheid en voorspoed,
wat verskeie swart tuislande gestig het, waar swart
nasies soos die Xhosas, Tswanas, Zoeloes en Vendas kon ontwikkel rondom hulle
tradisionele hartlande tot onafhanklike, voorspoedige state, afhangende van
hulle vermoë en wil,
wat deur die
sogenaamde wêreldopinie beswadder en afgekraak is weens hierdie eerlike en vérsiende
beleid van vreedsame etniese skeiding, wat in later jare geblyk het die beste
oplossing te wees vir etniese geskille en konflik, geimplementeer dwarsoor die wêreld
vanaf Oos-Europa tot Oos-Timor.
-Wie se leiers, na die sluipmoord op Dr Hendrik
Verwoerd, ondermyn en gekorrupteer word, totdat die hele Suid-Afrika met al sy
verskillende nasies weggegee word aan ‘n gesowjetiseerde, kommunistiese Regime
deur Frederik Willem de Klerk in 1994,
wie se patriotte nou vervolg word daarvoor dat hulle
hulle land en volk verdedig en beskerm het teen terrorisme en intimidasie,
wat steeds ly aan skok en ongeloof, as gevolg van wat
sekerlik as die mees verraderlike en ongelooflike uitverkoping deur ‘n volk se
eie leiers bekend sal staan,
wat die Anglo-Boere Oorlog herdenk, waartydens ‘n
honderd jaar gelede hulle kinders en vrouens in die fleur van hulle lewe brutaal
uitgewis is,
wat nou, weereens, van hulle plase en uit hulle huise
uit verdryf word deur ‘n moorddadige veldtog van terreur aanvalle, slagtings,
verkragtings en politieke druk,
wie se bestaansreg as ‘n eie nasie nou geïgnoreer en
bespot word, wie se basiese reg om as Boere te registreer en te kan stem vir
hulle eie leiers hulle ontsê word deur ‘n vyandiggesinde Regime,
wie se vryheidsideaal niks te make het met ‘regs’
of ‘links’ nie, wie siek en sat daarvoor is om baas of lakei te moet speel
vir ander wat nie na hulleself kan of wil kyk nie, - en wat nou net op hulle eie
sweet- en bloed-deurdrenkte grond vir hulleself
en hulle kinders ‘n vrye en veilige toekoms wil skep binne ‘n
Christelike en volkseie waardestelsel,
wie nou ‘n kruispad bereik het in hulle nasie se
geskiedenis : Óf hulle aanvaar die (vir hulle) vreemde, Sowjet-tipe Regime as
hulle eie en verdwyn in die vergetelheid in, - óf hulle beveg dit op elke
moontlike manier om te oorleef as ‘n nasie, wat geregtig is op sy eie vryheid
en onafhanklikheid.
`
THE BOER
Issue No.
March 20002
Hierdie brief is ook
beskikbaar in Afrikaans
A. APPROACHING GENOCIDE
1.This
issue has been delayed, with good reason : The Zimbabwean presidential election
farce and the accompanying official stamp on the black state terror and
expulsion of whites had to happen first, so nobody could say: Never mind, a
black Regime is not so bad, things might go wrong for a while, but hey presto!,
it comes right again when the opposition wins… Now it's official : Robert
Mugabe has been 're-elected', rigged and cooked as the election was, Europe and
America complain but do nothing except to impose a few ineffectual sanctions,
black Africa claps hands, and the black state terror
continues
to kill and rob and steal and drive out to its heart's content. Like the
British-sanctioned so-called kaffir commandos on the accompanying photo drove
out the Boer women and children from their farms a hundred years ago. And do not
for one moment think this is going to stop at the Limpopo…
2. The
Zanu-PF Regime's friends and terrorist-colleagues here in the so-called New
South Africa (Azania) have seen everything which happened just to the north of
us, only the other side of the Limpopo. In Zimbabwe it took 20 years before the
physical expropriation and expulsion began, though it should have happened in
1990, as has come out recently. Here it will come much sooner, now that an
example has been given of how to do it without any fear of retribution, and
there is no white Africa-state left to consider. It might be done a bit more
sanctimoniously, and less blatantly, - but do they will. And kick you out they
will, - just you watch.
B.
QUESTION AND ANSWER
3. The
question is : Will we, the Boers, LET them take everything? Will we ALLOW
ourselves be kicked out and climb meekly like our Zimbabwean brothers into the
police van when Superintendent Tshabalala comes to arrest us, instead of the
panga-wielding attackers? - We hear the grumbling and indignant chorus of:
"Let them just try to take MY land! I will show them! Over my dead body!
Let them come!...”
4. Well,
we have news for you : The answer is exactly the opposite. As has been shown so
many times in the recent past, all the bravado sneaks out the back door, once
the jackboots of hard reality come goose-stepping in the front door. We will
just as meekly and humbly as our Zimbabwean kith and kin surrender our land and
property. And we will just as submissively climb into the van when the policemen
hold it open and point their weapons. Because it is OUR police. And OUR
government ruling over us. Even if we do not like them and even if we did not
vote for them, - isn't it OUR state authority which was instituted over us? Just
as we talk of OUR rugby players, OUR cricket team, OUR sportsmen, OUR defence
force, OUR parliament, OUR MP's, OUR ministers, etc. Please, let's not bluff
oursleves : As long as we give voluntary recognition to this alien, inherently
hostile state as OUR state, in all its political and civilian manifestations
under its Azanian flag, and as long as we do not have an ALTERNATIVE, - we will
be subservient to this state and its organs. And continue to be robbed and
assaulted and humiliated. And be driven out soon out of anything they want. And
we must not complain, - apart from the fact that complaining isn’t going to
help, it is also wrong. Just as wrong as complaining after you signed over your
own house to Jonas the gardener, all legal and signed and sealed, and Jonas and
his missus now moves into your beautiful bedroom. As long as that deed of
transport stands unchallenged, it remains HIS house. And he can do whatever he
blinking well likes there!
5. You are
shocked? Upset? Angry? That’s right. We want to be shocked, upset and angry.
And start realising that the mess we find ourselves in is of OUR making.
That it begins, and ends, with ourselves first. It is OURSELVES, as
independent white state with everything which opens and closes and the strongest
defence force in Africa at our disposal, who handed over the state authority to
a black, communist Regime, - they themselves did not take it. And as long as we
accept this without meaningful protest, without working on an alternative OWN
state authority, we must accept Jonas as our Baas, and basta. Especially as long
as we talk about HIS sports teams as if they were ours...
THE
ALTERNATIVE
6. Let us
forget, once more, the lackeys, the hands-uppers, the joiners, - all those who
accept this ruling, alien Regime as their own government. Let them run after
Azania, - it will soon enough turn around and devour them, like it is devouring
the Todd’s and all the other naive whites unable to see what they are dealing
with. When the mask is dropped a la Mugabe, it will be too late. Let us rather
speak to the loyal compatriots, Boers with a capital letter, ‘our people’.
Those who at least have the sense to see that this Xhosa Nostra state is not our
state. Who have the insight and guts not to give any voluntary recognition to
it. Who want an own state, within which we live in relative safety and security,
where we can live out our own Christian values, our traditions, our culture and
national life under our own government, with our own police and defence force,
our own schools and hospitals and all the other own things other nations in the
world, however small, regard as their natural right.
Now if
only you and me felt like that, and there are at best a few hundred others who
feel like that, - well, then we have no case. You and me and my work processor
alone may not demand the rights of a people and a nation. As pointed out last
time, we must, after the total hand-over and elimination of our state, first of
all physically prove the mere EXISTENCE of a Boer nation, and that this nation
WANTS to be free from the present joke of the ruling black, communist regime.
And the first best opportunity to do this is the commemoration of the Peace of
Vereeniging, which will be held over the weekend of 31 May to 2 June at
Donkerhoek east of Pretoria.
7. We also
have another reason for wanting this proof of existence : There are compatriots
in prison, who acted on behalf of this our Boer nation, out of a firm conviction
that it exists. Today, after eight years of physical and spiritual genocide
under an alien, hostile regime, this is not so self-evident any more. Our
political prisoners, and all who sacrificed something for the cause, deserve to
know where they stand : Are they, as our enemies and their white lackeys allege,
now only a handful of Don-Quixote-like ‘right-wingers’, totally out of step
with their own people, - or is there still a Boer nation worth sacrificing for?
8. Put
differently : Don’t you think that it is time we came together, all of us who
do not want to be part of this Azanian mess and who want to do something to ward
off the approaching ‘final solution’? Don’t you think we should try and
see if we still have a nation left and if this nation WANTS to do something?
There are of course people who say this Boer nation is too useless to do
anything... like the British said in 1880. Can’t we start by trying to find
out if this nation cannot even GET TOGETHER? At a peaceful and untouchable
meeting like this commemoration? The ‘Volkskomitee vir die Herdenking van die
Tweede Vryheidsoorlog’ has already given an outline of the programme, and the
main event takes place at DONKERHOEK east
of Pretoria, right next to the old Radio Pretoria. It starts on Friday
afternoon, 31 of May, and carries on through Saturday.
9. Should
you agree with what has been said, you should really get involved. We are not
going to get out of this mess and avoid the approaching genocide by leaving
everything to a handful of ‘activists’. Please don’t say: “Come and call
me once you start shooting...” We cannot do anything as long as we do not have
an own state in at least one or other embryo form, and we cannot have an own
state as long as we cannot prove we have a nation entitled to its own state! And
under our circumstances we can only prove it by bringing together enough numbers
who are prepared to stand up and be counted and speak their mind! Unless we do
that, the hostile propaganda machine will succeed in their aim to relegate the
Boers to a ‘detail of history’ 100 years ago... Therefore : Spread this
message far and wide. Talk and discuss it. Duplicate ‘The Boer’ and give it to friends and family.
Ask us for placards and put them up in your area. And come. And drag everyone
along who is a potential Boer. Remember, the ‘final solution’ for the white
man (and woman) in Africa is on its way. Alone, each of us hiding in our own
corner, we’ll be slaughtered and ploughed under. TOGETHER we have a chance.

NB : This letter is
called ‘The Boer’ and
is intended to inform and serve as link between those of us whites,
Afrikaners, Boers, who have remained loyal to the nation whose struggle to
survive is depicted in the Balmoral Museum. ‘The Boer’ wants to help find
ways and means to where we can live safely and without fear according to our own
values, traditions and Christian faith, and build a future for our children. We
do not in any way want to detract from the rights of the other nations in South
Africa. We underwrite the Freedom Manifesto as spelt out in our first issue
or on www.safrica.com . We want to emphasize that we only demand for
ourselves what other nations and peoples all over the world accept as their
God-given natural right, - a right so treacherously taken away from us by the
ruling cabal in 1994.
We must keep in touch amongst ourselves, and the
internet provides a very useful additional means of communication. A network of
Boers and Boer supporters is a pre-condition to survival in our present
situation. Write to us, talk to us, visit us at :

GENOCIDE MUSEUM BALMORAL
– A Museum like no other in the
country :
A visit will enable you, your family and your friends
to
- see part of
our history many people do not even know about.
- experience
the feeling of facing the old and the new genocide.
- relax
afterwards under the trees, with a rock pool close by.

BALMORAL
GYMNASIUM – Building
for our youth.
Above the Museum you will see Balmoral Gymnasium being built, where young
Boers should be able to acquire skills necessary to survive in the so-called New
South Africa. It is being built without any state subsidy, step by step, as
funds permit. When it is finally opened, around the middle of the year we hope,
an intensive welding course will be the first on the agenda. Other training is
also envisaged. Among the rural surroundings, students can expect high quality
training, through discipline, hard work and national pride. Apart from
qualifying, they must also be able to survive in the dangerous world outside.
As you can see when driving past, there is progress. Much remains to be
done. Should you want to get involved, please contact Jaap Kelder at
011-4554408.

From the official; peace
agreement between the representatives of the governments of the two Boer

self-government, will be introduced...”
- BOER self
government. We never got it, - let us demand it now, now that the bigger South
Africa so obviously has gone wrong! Big
is nice, - but dangerous. In these dangerous days small is beautiful. The Boer
nation is small. Let us see how small and what it looks like now. Whether it
still exists at all. It is our only chance. See you the weekend of 31 May to 2

The Museum at Balmoral, next to the Concentration Camp Cemetery, remains open. Nearby, we
are building the Balmoral Gymnasium and we hope to tell you more about it next time.
B. INTERIM
2. Since our last newsletter, conditions under the Azanian heel have worsened, as
expected. More people have been butchered, more attacked, robbed and raped, and with the
latest fall of the Rand even the most naive cheer-leaders have to grudgingly admit that
the local currency and economy start looking like the third-world mess they are. The
racist tyranny in neighbouring Zimbabwe puts the writing on the wall for both patriots and
lackeys here. And while the rats are running away from the sinking ship, those who do not
want or cannot leave are beginning to realise the seriousness of our situation and that we
must do something to save ourselves, - otherwise we’ll drown...
3. Before we carry on, here are two extracts of what people have sent us this last month.
There is a message there somewhere... :
The Daffodil Principle.
Several times my daughter had telephoned to say, "Mother, you must come see the
daffodils before they are over... When I finally walked into Carolyn's house and hugged
and greeted my grandchildren, I said, "Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! ...
...After several minutes, I had to ask, "Where are we going? This isn't the way to
the garage!" "We're going to my garage the long way," Carolyn smiled,
"by way of the daffodils." "Carolyn," I said sternly, "please
turn around." "It's all right, Mother, I promise. You will never forgive
yourself if you miss this experience."
After about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small gavel road and I saw a small church. On
the far side of the church, I saw a hand-lettered sign that read, "Daffodil
Garden." We got out of the car and each took a child's hand, and I followed Carolyn
down the path. Then, we turned a corner of the path, and I looked up and gasped. Before me
lay the most glorious sight. It looked as though someone had taken a great vat of gold and
poured it down over the mountain peak and slopes. The flowers were planted in majestic,
swirling patterns -- great ribbons and swaths of deep orange, white, lemon yellow, salmon
pink, saffron, and butter yellow. Each different-colored variety was planted as a group so
that it swirled and flowed like its own river with its own unique hue. There were five
acres of flowers. "But who has done this?" I asked Carolyn." "It's
just one woman," Carolyn answered. "She lives on the property. That's her
home." Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-frame house that looked small and modest in
the midst of all that glory. We walked up to the house. On the patio, we saw a poster.
"Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking" was the headline. The first
answer was a simple one."50,000 bulbs," it read. The second answer was,
"One at a time, by one woman.Two hands, two feet, and very little brain." The
third answer was, "Began in 1958."
There it was. The Daffodil Principle. For me, that moment was a life-changing experience.
I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than forty years before, had begun
-- one bulb at a time -- to bring her vision of beauty and joy to an obscure mountain top.
Still, just planting one bulb at a time, year after year, had changed the world....
"It makes me sad in a way," I admitted to Carolyn. "What might I have
accomplished if I had thought of a wonderful goal thirty-five or forty years ago and had
worked away at it 'one bulb at a time' through all those years. Just think what I might
have been able to achieve!"
My daughter summed up the message of the day in her usual direct way. "Start
tomorrow," she said...
General Robert E. Lee, one of the bravest and most successful commanding officers of all
time, has been quoted as follows :
"Knowing that intercessory prayer is out mightiest weapon and the supreme call for
all Christians today, I pleadingly urge our people everywhere to pray. Believing that
prayer is the greatest contribution that our people can make in this critical hour, I
humbly urge that we take time to pray – to really pray. Let there be prayer at sunup,
at noonday, at sundown, at midnight – all through the day. Let us pray for our
children, our youth, our aged, our pastors, our homes. Let us pray for our churches. ...
Let us pray for our nation... "
C. FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD.
4. In our last issue, we ended off with the question : "What do you do?" We
suggested we stop drowning and start doing something to save themselves. Well, there are
three things we could, and must, do if we want to have any chance at all. And they are
linked – you cannot do one and sit back and ignore the others. Please bear with us.
Firstly, just like General Lee and thousands and thousands of Christians throughout the
ages, we must pray, pray for our people, for our loved ones, for our nation. Pray is not
for ‘sissies’ and cowards. Whether it was at Paardekraal or Majuba, or against
the Muslim hordes in front of the Vienna gates, - when a Christian faces overwhelming
odds, and he or she calls on God to help, God never refuses. HOW He will help, and WHAT
His plan is, we must trust and leave in His hands. All we can say with certainty is that
WITHOUT His help, we will lose everything we and our forefathers built up over more than
300 years in South Africa.
5. Secondly, we must survive. We, our families and our children. It does not help to plan
the best and most wonderful freedom struggle imaginable, - and by the time we want to
start, half of us are dead and the other half is bankrupt. Physically and economically we
must survive. Physically, by circling our wagons, as a matter of speech, by going into
laager, by whichever way we can, so that we are not alone when we are attacked and look
down the barrel of the AK (from the wrong side...). Note that we do not say
‘if’, but ‘when’. We can go into laager by different means, starting
off by working with your neighbour next door, by forming a neighbourhood watch, by joining
existing defence-orientated organisations, police forums, the commandos, police reserve,
whatever. By always being aware of the hordes around you watching, just waiting to hit,
preferably the unprepared, weak and defenceless. By rehearsing whatever defence mechanism
you have, once a month at least. By never leaving your old and young alone. By always
being alert and ‘paraat’. By realising that we are living in a war situation.
No, that is a lie, it is not war, - it is a slaughter... Our people are not only being
killed, - they are being slaughtered, like sheep waiting for the butcher, with no real
protection at all.
Equally important is the issue of economic survival. At the end of the day, it does not
really matter whether you are killed by an attacker, or you die of hunger, or you kill
yourself out of desperation over not having any money for your children... We all know our
own people are not all angels. Everything but. But they are and remain OUR people, and
blood is thicker than water. As employee, try and find work with our own people. The state
is not ours anymore, and the powers that be openly discriminate against you anyway. But if
that is not possible, no problem, as long as you and yours can survive. As employer, try
and give work to our own people. And accept that this is a hard and difficult road, with
many disappointments. But our own disappointments one should be able to handle, - those of
hostile masses one cannot. Not in the long term. They’ll kill you, sometimes
literally.
Whatever you do, do the best you can to survive, with out own people in mind first. To
have food on the table, clothes to wear, and a roof over our head, - that alone is reason
to be thankful and not to give up hope. Remember, there are those who have not even got
that. And avoid debt like the plague.
6. Thirdly, we must get out of this Azanian mess. There is no such thing as
‘impossible’ or ‘irreversible’. Think of the woman, who started firty
years ago to plant bulbs. Just as important as surviving as an individual and a family,
just as important it is to start working to survive as a nation. A Boer nation, which
happens to be of Indo-Germanic stock, white, and proud of it, - like the Zulus are black,
of Bantu stock and proud of thát. In the long term, we cannot survive in Africa outside
an own national identity. Do not say there is no money or time for that. There are people
incarcerated in prison for trying to save us from this Azanian slaughter-house, - and we
want to carry on quibbling? You say you have already done this or that and look what
happened? We mentioned some of the things people did in our first issue, and, really, as
long as many of those people are not twisted and bitter yet (as they might well be), none
of us has a right to give up. Of course our abilities and resources differ. But everyone
can do SOMETHING, - each according to his own talent, wallet and time. And then the good
Lord will arrange all these different contributions, big and small, and form them into one
wonderful, huge and powerful whole.
D. THE BASIS : NATIONAL WILL
7. Now we are back at the crux of the matter : WHAT must I do? By this time, we should
have gone beyond the question of who we are, and agree that we want our freedom back,
under the Boer flag as our own indigenous flag offering us the best chance of success. We
discussed this in the first issue, and in a second appendix, an article by one Adriana
Stuijt further reinforces this view. We want our freedom through our own state, where we
can survive as a Christian nation according to our faith, values, traditions and culture,
- without in any way impinging on the rights of others. Like our Freedom Manifesto spells
it out (see our first issue, or www.scafrica.com ). That is the theory. How to implement
this in practice? First of all, just like during the days of the British occupation of the
Transvaal ZAR, the nation must demonstrate, clearly and unmistakably, its national will,
that it is NOT satisfied with the (to us) alien, black and communist rule, and that it
wants self-government, ie an OWN state and authority. There have been attempts in the
recent past to try and achieve this national will, but so far none could come up with the
necessary drive and support. In fact, our enemies and their lackeys maintain a perception
that the Boer nation does not even exist anymore! And many of our people, isolated from
each other and exposed to a barrage of media propaganda, are beginning to believe this!
Well, there is only one answer to this : We must PROVE that this nation still exists, that
we do not want to remain under the heel of Azanian or so-called ‘New South
African’ rule, and that we want our own state back and the self-government promised
to us in 1902, - something we are entitled to according to International Law. The
‘how’ and ‘where’ and ‘when’ comes later (though not too
much later), - let us first clear the PRINCIPLE, then the rest will be easy.
8. How do we do this? Just like in 1880, under a foreign authority controlling state power
and mass media, this can only be done through one mighty national rally and demonstration.
Then it was Paardekraal, and Paardekraal was the beginning of the end for the first
British occupation. This year, we commemorate the last year of the Boer War, and on the
31st of May it will be 100 years ago that the free, sovereign and independent Boers laid
down their weapons and their freedom at the Peace of Vereeniging, - after a long and
honourable struggle against the then mightiest power on earth. This peace was negotiated,
and agreed on paper, between the GOVERNMENTS of Great Britain, the South African Republic
(Transvaal) and the Orange Free State. See our first appendix attached. The commemoration
of the Peace of Vereeniging is the last, but also the best opportunity to take up our
freedom from where our ancestors temporarily laid it down, to link the present to the
past, to latch onto the Peace Agreement which recognises the existence of a Boer nation
and independent Boer Republics, which puts our own governments on a par with that of Great
Britain, and does not only imply the right to a return to self-rule, but specifically
mentions that self-government ‘will be introduced’.
9. This is one road back to freedom. The other route runs via the ‘old South
Africa’, a detour from 1910 to 1994, but in its end and personal experience CLOSER to
so many of us. Much can be said about the so-called old South Africa, to an extent a
unitary state, but through its apartheid policy actually a political structure which left
ROOM for the relisation of homelands, national self-government for different nations, and
thus also freedom for the Boer nation. Whatever the faults of the old RSA, at least it was
not the sovietised, centristic unitary state now being enforced. And there was a genuine,
praiseworthy attempt to give each his own, to grant every nation, white and black, its
freedom and development within certain borders, according to the much-maligned so-called
grand apartheid. In the meantime, this same apartheid policy is at the root of what is
implemented and accepted as the only just solution to multi-national conglomerates like
the old The white Republic of South Africa was álso recognised internationally as a free,
independent and sovereign state, - and its hand-over to the present black, communist state
is álso open to debate and highly controversial. So, the justification of a freedom
struggle to regain self-government can rest on TWO legs : That of the right of the old
Boer Republics, and that of the right of the white Republic of South Africa. Per se, and
in this last year of the commemoration, the linkage to the old Boer sovereignty remains
top of the agenda, - but the living connection to the old South Africa is the óther
important link, which álso offers judicial justification.
10. For a national movement to be successful, it must be simple, easily understood and
uncomplicated. We must not get entangled in finer details of what should rightfully be
ours, - that will come later, and only if and when we have sorted out the basic principle.
This principle is simple: Do we accept the alien, black, communist authority as our own
and do we want to remain under its heel as second-class citizens until we, too, are
murdered/raped/evicted from the land of our fathers? Or do we want our own state, with our
own government, civil service, police, defence force, schools and hospitals?
Remember, the most effectively paralysing propaganda, which until now has killed off every
decent resistance, is the perception that there is no such thing as a Boer nation any
more. That we all, though with gnashing teeth, regard ourselves as part and parcel of the
so-called New South Africa. That is where the crux lies, and that is where we must start
if we want to have any chance at all. Don’t now bother with borders, or whether we
want a volkstaat or not, or what kind of political representation will be chosen by the
new Boer Republic, or who should be our leaders, - if fought over now, this will only
serve to smother the basic principle with issues which can be discussed in peace and quiet
later. At the moment, we have nothing, zilch, 0,000 square millimetre. No own government,
no authority whatsoever, no real representation, nothing. The Azanian can do to us
whatever they like, and if we do not start working on an own state soon, they will do the
same as their brothers are doing in Zimbabwe, ie chase us off our land and out of our
houses without a finger being lifted in our defence anywhere in the world. The priority
now should be : Get together as a NATION, prove we ARE a nation, show the world we do NOT
want to be part of this sovietised multi-national concoction, and hands-up for an OWN
state, where we, as whites, as Boers, can determine our own and our children’s future
ourselves. This is our RIGHT, - but this right, which we can argue right up to the highest
court in the world, will only be realised if and when we make the time and opportunity to
literally stand up and be counted, - as Boers. Only thereafter will things fall into
place.
11. To sum up : As regards our freedom struggle, we must first and foremost get together,
physically, on the 31st of May, at the commemoration of the Peace Agreement of
Vereeniging. The ‘Volkskomitee vir die Herdenking van die Tweede Vryheidsoorlog’
is responsible for the occasion, and it has already worked out the outlines of a
programme. The climax is the commemoration at DONKERHOEK 25KM east of Pretoria. It starts
on Friday the 31st with a torch guard of honour and closes off on Sunday the 2nd with a
morning church service. This is the LAST opportunity we have to congregate as Boers within
the untouchable and internationally recognised framework of the centenary commemoration of
what is known all over the world as the Boer War. Nobody can stop you , - it is a peaceful
meeting, standing on Boer soil. Let us not worry about what else is being planned, - these
occasions have a tendency to develop their own momentum. Let us rather concentrate on the
most important issue : To come together this once for the sake of our very survival here
on this blood-drenched African soil. OUR VERY PRESENCE AS A NATION will already serve a
purpose and send a message out to the world : The message of the existence of a Boer
nation, which is the lawful heir of the internationally recognised Boer nation of 1902,
and which until 1994 inside the old South Africa had at least some sort of living space.
12. To be continued with Issue No 3, which is due in February, DV. You can see what we
stand for:
First of all the recognition of the principle of the right to freedom and self-government,
morally and spiritually anchored and recognised in the highest councils all over the
world. The ‘where’ and ‘how’ and ‘when’ will follow from
this. We say again : We want to return to the community of nations of Western,
anti-terrorist, civilised and God-fearing nations. If you agree, we ask you to throw in
your weight behind what loyal Boers do to reach this honourable goal. Alone we can onl;y
achieve so much, - together so much more. Have a look again at what is indicated above.
Get involved, if you are not involved yet. Get móre involved if you are involved already.
Time is running out. We should not be in too much of a hurry,, - but, on the other hand,
we cannot afford to wait until we are in the position the Zimbabwe whites find themselves
in : totally helpless and sold out to a power-hungry, brutal black Regime, which does not
know any inhibitions.

NB : This letter is called ‘The Boer’ and is intended to inform and serve as
link between those of us whites, Afrikaners, Boers, who have remained loyal to the nation
whose struggle to survive is depicted in the Balmoral Museum. ‘The Boer’ wants
to help find ways and means to where we can live safely and without fear according to our
own values, traditions and Christian faith, and build a future for our children. We do not
in any way want to detract from the rights of the other nations in South Africa. We
underwrite the Freedom Manifesto as spelt out in our first issue or on www.safrica.com .
We want to emphasize that we only demand for ourselves what other nations and peoples all
over the world accept as their God-given natural right, - a right so treacherously taken
away from us by the ruling cabal in 1994.
We would like to keep in touch with Boers and Boer supporters, as a pre-condition to
survival in our present diaspora. Write to us, talk to us, visit us at :

A last thought :
"Let timid doctrinaires depart from among us to carry their servility and their
miserable fears elsewhere. This people is its own master. It wishes to be the brother of
other peoples, but to look on the insolent with a proud glance, not to grovel before them
imploring its own freedom. It will no longer follow in the trail of men whose hearts are
foul." Giuseppe Garibaldi, Italiaanse vryheidsheld van die vorige eeu.

APPENDIX B
(From Letters : www.rebellie.org)
Note : 'The Boer' does not necessarily identify with everything this writer wrote - but
this letter of hers is so relevant and well reasoned, that we can only gain by its
perusal, - especially since she was formerly described as a leftist journalist :
"Boer of Afrikaner...wat is jy??? - deur Adriana Stuijt, 24 Jun 2001
"Die familiegeskiedenis word herhaal deur elke huidige Boergesin in die land.So wie
is hulle -- Eers Voortrekkers, toe Boere, toe Afrikaners - en nou "Wittes" ?
Baie mense in die nuusmedia maak my nog steeds belaglik as ek skryf en praat van
"Boere" of "Voortrekker-nasate" op ons weberf
http://www.censorbugbear.com -- so asof die Boere nou nog steeds nie die reg het om selfs
hul eie stamnaam meer te mag gebruik nie. Die geskiedenis hoekom mense opgehou het om na
hulself as Boere te verwys is aan Oom Swart heelwaarskynlik baie beter bekend as die
jonger generasie mense wat hulself nou (taamlik skamerig) nog "Afrikaners" noem
maar ook al hoe meer na hulself begin verwys in die ANC-term, naamlik " wittes
". Kyk dus wat nou besig is om te gebeur - op daardie wyse verloor immers selfs die
mense wat hulself nog "Afrikaners" noem, nou ook hul identiteit en word hulle
almal tot "wittes" afgewater: iets wat die ANC sal verwelkom omdat hulle liewers
die hele geskiedenis van die Voortrekkertyd af wil "wegskryf" of
"oorskryf", so asof dit nooit bestaan het nie... sodoende kan hulle ook
doodeenvoudig naderhand van al die "wittes" eis dat hulle die kontinent Afrika
liewers sal moet verlaat omdat hulle immers nie "Afrikane" met stamagtergronde
is nie, maar doodeenvoudig geskiedenislose "wittes" geword het. Daarteenoor
egter het die Boere nou nog steeds 'n baie ryk geskiedkundige erfenis wat deur die
Afrikaner-Broederbond van hulle afgeneem was tussen 1933 en 1994 -- verbasend genoeg begin
hierdie ou Boeregeskiedenis weer orals nuwe vorme aan te neem, met herdenkings en met 'n
heropvoeding van die jeug oor hul eie vergete agtergrond... Die huidige verandering van
straatname vanaf Voortrekkerstraat na byvoorbeeld Chris Hani straat bewys vir my veral ook
hoe bitter min die huidige ANC-leierskap eintlik vir die volledige geskiedenis van hul eie
land omgee -- en dit weer, nes die Afrikaner Broederbond dit so doelbewus gedoen het vanaf
1936 tot 1994, doodeenvoudig wil begin doodswyg. In daardie opsig bewys die ANC leierskap
vir my veral dat hulle 'n inherent-fassistiese organisasie is, nes die AB, want hulle doen
presies dieselfde... hulle ontneem mense van hul eie geskiedenis. Selfs die dramatiese
Voortrekkergeskiedenis gee nou skynbaar ook al aanstoot vir die ANC leierskap -- anders
sou hulle erkentenis wil gee aan die feit dat al die Voortrekkerstrate in Suid-Afrika
vernoem is sodat die Voortrekkerroete nie vir die nageslag in die vergetelheid sal versink
nie. Elke Trekleier het immers hul eie paaie platgery en hul eie dorpe begin bou -- en
soms is daar nog strate in die ou Voortrekkerdorpe vernoem na die leiers van daardie
familietrekke, soos byvoorbeeld 'n mens baie Bezuidenhoutstrate kry veral daar naby die
grens van Zimbabwe, waar die Bezuidenhouts uiteindelik beland het. Wat my veral nog baie
bitter maak, is die feit dat mense nog steeds op die ou Broederbond-manier na die
Vrouemonument verwys as die "Afrikanervrouemonument". Die vrouens en kinders en
bejaarde mans wat daar doodgemartel is in die kampe orals was Boere. Hulle was NOOIT
Afrikaners nie en het NOOIT na hulself verwys as Afrikaners nie -- en selfs hul vyande het
na hul verwys as Boere. Van al die mense wat daar beland het, soos byvoorbeeld Dr Albert
Hertzog as baba en sy moeder, was daar wel Kaapse rebelle wat by die Boerestryders
aangesluit het en wie se families ook onderdak verskaf het aan die Boerekommandos in die
veld -- hulle het hulself dus gevoeg by die Boere -- maar die geskiedskrywing uit daardie
dae wys baie duidelik op twee verskillende kultuurstromings, naamlik dat in daardie dae
onder die Afrikaanstalige Kapenaars meestal na hulself verwys is as "Afrikaners"
wat "Afrikaans" gepraat het (maar hoog-Nederlands van hul bybel geskryf het) --
terwyl al die Burgers van die Boererepublieke na hulself altyd verwys het as
"Boere". Doodeenvoudig het hulle ook na hul taal as die Taal verwys.
Boereburgers het die Taal gepraat, en die Engelse joernaliste van daardie tyd, soos
Winston Churchill, het na hulle ook assulks verwys. Dit was Boere waarmee die Engelse
gestry het, nie Afrikaners nie. Daar is dus vanaf daardie tyd al aan mense 'n keuse
gestel: as hulle hulself geïdentifiseer het met die Boerevolk in die Transvaal en Oranje
Vrystaat, het hulle OF soontoe getrek, saam met hulle baklei, en hulself Boere begin noem.
- OF agterGEBLY in die Kaap, EN het hulle meestal na hulself verwys as Afrikaners. Dis 'n
baie duidelike kultuurverskil wat nog steeds ook in die stede na die Tweede Vryheidsoorlog
bly bestaan het: die brandarm Boervrouens wat vanaf die verwoeste platteland na die stede
soos Johannesburg getrek het, het daar begin werk as kleremaaksters in die nuwe meganiese
fabrieke wat deur die eerste Jodesmouse uit Pole opgerig was -- en juis hierdie brandarm,
hardwerkende vrouens en kinders het altyd na hulself verwys as "Boere" - nooit
iets anders nie. Hulle het hul eie toneelstukke opgevoer en geskryf toe Johanna en Hester
Cornelius van Thabazimbi hul eie Klerewerkstersvakbond opgerig het -- en saam met die
Boere-mynwerkers in die stede het hierdie hardwerkende, brandarm mense nog altyd na
hulself in hul eie toneelstukke na hulself verwys as "Boere". Die geskiedenis
navorster Elsabe Brink het pragtig oor heirdie geskiedenis geskryf in die tagtigerjare.
Toe die Afrikaner Broederbond opgerig is, is dit die eerste ding wat daar deur hulle
besluit is om die Boerevolk se geskiedenis te verander: Hierdie welaf, deftige Afrikaners
het hulself doodgeskaam vir die die brandarm Boervrouens wat "soos meide in die
fabrieke moes werk" in die stede, en die brandarm Boer-mynwerkers -- hulle was immers
die "nuwe armblanke probleem in die stede" soos daar na hulle verwys is in 'n
Rooi Kruis verslag oor hul ellende in die twintiger en dertigerjare. Dit was egter
Boervrouens en kinders, nie "arm-blankes" nie -- : lees 'n mens die Rooi Kruis
onderhoude wat met hierdie mense gevoer is en ook deur die geliefde Emily Hobhouse -- in
die verslag, is dit duidelik dat hulle altyd na hulself verwys het as Boere, wat vanaf die
verwoeste platteland na die stede moes trek om te kan oorleef. Tydens die
mynwerkersopstande van die twintiger- en dertigerjare het hierdie Klerewerksters en
Mynwerkers almal aktief saamgestaak en saamgemarsjeer in die strate teen die groot ryk
Engelse mynmagnate - en hoekom het hulle dit gedoen? Omdat hulle lede was van die verslane
Boerevolk, nie juis omdat hulle "Kommuniste" was soos die Afrikaner Broederbond
en die mynmagnate se koerante hulle almal genoem het nie... Daar was kommunistiese leiers
onder hulle, en baie van die mynwerkers was inderdaad ook Engels, dit is hoekom hierdie
groepe almal onder die versamelnaam van "blankes" die geskiedenis ingegaan het.
Maar tragies genoeg was dit dus veral die Boerestakers wat op geskiet is by Cottesloe
Koppie deur Jan Smuts se soldate (wat uit Brits se omgewing gekom het) . Hulle is selfs
met masjiengewere vanuit 'n vliegtuig beskiet. Baie Boervrouens en Boermans is tydens
hierdie stakingsopstand deur Jan Smuts se polisie en soldate doodgeskiet -- en baie van
hierdie polisie en soldate het nooit vooraf geweet dat die mense wat hulle geskiet het,
Boermense was nie. Hulle is vertel dit was kommunistiese Britse mynwerkers. So is daar
gevalle gemeld waarin 'n broer van Brits ontdek het dat hy sy eie susterskind doodgeskiet
het in Cottesloe. Dit is wat dus kan gebeur as 'n volk sy eie geskiedenis en selfs sy
stamnaam verloor het. Gaan kyk maar na die name op die Cottesloe koppie se monument, as
dit nog daar is: dit is Boere wat daar gesneuwel het. Gaan kyk ook maar na die ou grafte
in die mynwerkersdorpies rondom Johannesburg van daardie tydperk en lees die name van die
mense wat tydens die onluste gearresteer is: dit is grotendeels Boerevanne. As joernalis,
het ek self dikwels rondgedwaal tussen die grafte van daardie myndorpies en die name
opgeskryf: en die grootste deel van die vanne van daardie tydperk op die dikwels powere
grafstene was Boervanne. Dit is maar net 'n klein deel van die Boeregeskiedenis wat
eintlik nooit werklik in die Broederbond se geskiedenisweergawe baie "duidelik
gestel"is nie. Trouens is groot dele daarvan of weggelaat of selfs moedswillig
verkeerd geskryf. Ek het al die bekende toneelstukke wat destyds deur die Kleremaaksters
self geskryf is, hier in my besit, asook baie van hul artikels in hul eie tydskriffies.
Dit is 'n tragiese hoofstuk van die Boervrouens se geskiedenis wat eintlik ook langsaan
die Boervrouemonument geplaas sou moes word -- om mense te laat weet dat baie van hierdie
dapper Boervrouens die konsentrasiekampe oorleef het deur soos "fabrieksmeide"
in Engelstalige stede te gaan werk. Hulle stryd het voortgeduur maar niemand het hulle
gehelp nie, en hulle is selfs deur Afrikaners "terugbetaal" vir hul moed deur
selfs hul stamidentiteit en hul eie geskiedenis van hul af te neem. Die huidige mense wat
hulself nog steeds "Afrikaners" wil noem -- moet besluit watter deel van die
geskiedenis hulle die sterkste oor voel, en of hulle trots daarop kan wees om liewers na
hulself as Boere te begin verwys i.p.v. wat die ANC nou vir hulle begin noem, naamlik die
"wittes". Ek is 'n gebore Nederlander wat toevallig 'n taamlik ligte vel het,
maar ek het nog nooit aan myself gedink as 'n "witte" nie en ek moet eerlik se
dat hierdie rassistiese verwysing my altyd besonder onaangenaam in die ore klink! Ek
identifiseer myself as lid van 'n Dietstalige volk -- nie as 'n "witte" nie. Wat
van julle? Groete - Adriana Stuijt ----- Junie 24, 2001".

Issue No 1
INTRODUCTION
1. You might have visited the museum at Balmoral. Or you might have met us, who built the
museum, some other way. Anyway, it is now your priviledge (or your grief, whichever way
you look at it) to receive this newsletter. Feel welcome to read it and see what you
think. Perhaps you agree and maybe you might even gain something from it. [As with all
e-mail, you only have to 'unsubscribe', according to the simple instructions underneath,
if you do not want it]
The Big, the Bad and the Ugly. We are angry. We are bitter. And we feel
betrayed. There are, I’m sure, thousands of old South Africans, Afrikaners, whites,
Boers (call them whatever you like) in this country who feel the same. With very good
reason. A hundred years ago Boer children and women were nearly wiped out by white
imperialists. Today our people are being slaughtered and driven off by a black regime
aided and abetted by the same type of whites who grabbed our land before. Many of us are
killed. Many more robbed, raped, and beaten. Some just go away overseas. Some try to be
clever and tell you you should be glad and dancing in the streets since you now have got
’democracy’, you are ‘liberated’, you should adapt to the necessary
teething troubles, - and anyway, you deserve what you get because for 300 years your kind
flogged and enslaved and exploited and oppressed every poor, innocent black angel in
sight. Well, if you believe that, we’ve got news for you : We don’t. And we
don’t believe we should shut up and kiss the broad posteriors of our killers, robbers
and rapists, either. We would like to tell you something. In fact, we would like to tell
you quite a bit, starting with what happened to our generation, - the big, bad and ugly
white South Africans. If you are interested enough to want to see where we’ll end up,
carry on reading.
Background. While most of us, the foot soldiers, younger and older, better or worse, while
we went to school, studied, sweated and sometimes bled in the SADF, worked, married,
raised children and wholeheartedly believed in our God, our own country, our own nation,
with our own government, civil service, defence force and police to lead and protect us, -
while we were busy living our lives, our body politic, behind our backs, was rotting away
into a stinking. all-infesting carcass. With hindsight, of course, one can recognize the
steady decline in morals, morale and integrity at the top of white South Africa’s
leadership after the assassination of Prime Minister HF Verwoerd in 1966 (who had him
killed? Read ‘Bird on the Wing’ by Dr Allan Bird, an eminent neurologist of the
sixties, ISBN No 0-620-17050-6). We now see how independent white Southern Africa was
systematically sold out to its terrorists under the guise of ‘democracy’,
‘one-man-one-vote’ and ‘liberation’. Ian Smith’s Rhodesia was
thrown to Mugabe’s wolves by perfidious Albion and an increasingly rotten SA
government in 1979/80. Then South West Africa and ultimately the whole of South Africa,
including all the black homelands, were handed over to black neo-communist rule in the
early nineties. Prophetic voices like those of Mr Jaap Marais were ignored, those within
the system like former President PW Botha, who tried to draw a line, were outmaneuvered.
The last white government under the now thoroughly incompetent and subverted
‘National’ Party railroaded the once resilient white South Africa into a
so-called democratic ‘New South Africa’, - by hook, by crook and by just about
every trick in the book. In this it was ably supported by both external and internal
advisers and collaborators. The majority of our people, who were beginning to show
increasing opposition to the looming hand-over during the last free white elections and
by-elections, never really got out of their starting-blocks before a cleverly-worded
referendum question and a stage-managed multi-racial, multi-national election in 1994
(Johan Kriegler’s famous brothel) sealed their fate.
For nearly a decade now all the different races, nations and tribes of SA have been forced
to live under an increasingly all-powerful ANC/Communist Regime, - nominally
‘democratic’ and ‘liberated’ from the supposedly bad and ugly
apartheid past, but in reality under the heels of far more damaging and iniquitous racism,
oppression, corruption and downright incompetence. ‘Holy Nelson’ Mandela having
been replaced by the rather less charming former terrorist boss Thabo Mbeki as President
of what is recognizable as just another de-facto one-party state, disillusionment is
setting in with a vengeance, even among the many naïve former praise-singers of the
multi-ethnic hotchpotch they helped create. However, most still refuse to publicly admit
the basic error of their disastrous social engineering experiment, - even though it is
clear that the dozen or so vastly different nations and peoples are now forcibly brought
down to the lowest common denominator by a least competent and most arrogant bunch of
former terrorists. Faced with the growing nightmare of daily slaughter, rape, violence,
economic decline and a typical Black Africa autocracy, many white ‘opposition’
politicians, business- and industry leaders and the mass-media prefer to blame
‘safe’ causes : Poverty, Aids, inadequate training, racism, xenophobia, lack of
investment, the strong Dollar, the weak Euro, the US government, Mugabe, Mbeki,
understaffed police, overstaffed bureaucracy, etc. etc, - and, of course, good old bad
apartheid… The white establishment, being guilty of having aided and abetted the
introduction of black rule, does not want to admit that it is the very system itself which
is wrong, - though thousands and thousands of their colleagues and children have conceded
precisely that by moving overseas to white-ruled states.
4. Situation. At present, about four million whites are physically and economically
struggling to survive in the so-called New South Africa among the 'masses' of more or less
hostile and alien blacks. Since 1994, they have no state, government, judiciary, defence
force, police, civil service, schools or hospitals of their own any more, - they are now a
scattered and fearful minority within a blatantly antagonistic and smugly arrogant
black-majority state. On a daily basis, whites are being murdered, raped, robbed and
intimidated by black killers and robbers, not only on farms, but in the cities, too. The
fact that blacks are being clobbered by their own ‘brethren’, too, is little
consolation to white victims. The pathetically subservient media censor out the racist
nature of the daily slaughter, - if they mention the killings at all, - while the few
white-on-black crimes in between are splashed and trotted out ad nauseam to hide the far
more gruesome and common black terror. Meanwhile, the black, communist-controlled state
steadily breaks down one after the other of the so-called checks and balances touted by
the last white president FW de Klerk as a guarantee of white survival. Under the guise of
‘affirmative action’, ‘land re-distribution’ and ‘black
empowerment’, this state uses newly-made laws to take over the desired white property
‘legally’ and ‘within the law’, - the rather clever Azanian form of
Mugabe-style land-grabs. Thereby the Regime hopes to achieve the same goal as the
Zimbabwean terrorist-‘war veterans’ by less obvious and more subtle means.
What is happening in the ‘New South Africa’ is genocide, pure and simple,
comparable to the genocide against the Boer people 100 years ago, when 28 000 helpless
children and women were driven off their land, herded into concentration camps and left to
die by (white) imperialists. Only this time it is done by black puppets and communists,
though with the same foreign white interests pulling the strings and smearing in their
media. It might conceivably be the Final Solution for the modern-day Boers, the white
South Africans, the Afrikaners, who, like the Jews in Palestine, are hounded and
surrounded by hostile hordes in the land of their fathers. No wonder quite a few Boers
regard themselves as the Lost Tribe of Israel.
5. Identity. You, the reader, fed up with endless talk, might at this stage be asking :
"This is all well and good, - but what can we do?" - Please be patient, we
should get there eventually. Before we can decide on the WHAT, we have to know the WHO.
The first crucial question is : Who are we, the whites of South Africa? Who are you, born
and bred in this country, of white ancestry? Who do you think and feel you are? Are we
just whites, for the sake of race, or South Africans, or Afrikaners, or Boers, or
Azanians, or New South Africans, Rainbow People, or what? Those who feel they belong to
the ‘New SA", who believe in the social engineering experiment of all South
African nations and tribes forced together under a de facto black, Xhosa, communist
Regime, who recognize the artificial Azanian (or ‘New SA’) flag as their own,
who voluntarily take part in and benefit from the oppression of all national aspirations
and freedoms, - they are welcome to their ‘New South Africa’. They should call
themselves Azanians. They deserve what they get. At this stage, at the latest, we should
wave them good-bye and wish them luck, - they’ll need it.
Those of us, however, who instinctively reject the present dispensation as alien, forced
and unnatural, who long for safety and development amongst people sharing the same values,
traditions and Christian faith, and who do not contemplate going overseas, - we should
realize that we need, first of all, to identify ourselves to be able to work for and reach
the security and decent future we want, among people more compatible to our own than the
hordes masquerading as ‘South Africans’ and swamping our land. We need this for
our and for our children’s sake. There is only one place where we can achieve this,
and that is within our own community, group, volk and nation. And of these, our own
nation, free, independent and with its own authority and structures to caress and protect
us, is the only secular guarantor and protector powerful enough to do the job.
Anything less is an illusion. Now what is the identity of this our nation? We HAD one,
remember, the so-called Old South Africa, which generally served us well, with all its
faults and problems, - until it was turned upside down and sold out to the evil Azanian
Empire of 1994. This Dark Africa monster usurped our old name, South Africa, so people
would not recognize its alien nature. By rights, it should officially be called Azania, as
its more honest representatives in the PAC and Azapo, to their credit, do. But the ruling
regime is hanging on to the ‘Republic of SA’ nametag, and this leaves us with
the necessity to identify OUR nation in such a way, that our own people, and the world
outside, can recognize us for what we are and want to be, unmistakably and undeniably, but
also proudly and righteously.
To lay out here the lengthy appreciation of finding the best and most appropriate identity
and name among those in use, all the arguments, the pros and cons of all the alternatives,
would take up too much time and space. Enough to say that, given our peculiar
circumstances and our peculiar day and age, the term ‘Boer’ represents one
identity which conceptualises and describes us as a people entitled to be a free nation,
without risking the sort of dirty label or wearying refutation which could kill off the
very idea before we even had a chance to implement it. ‘Boer’ is historically
well-founded, legally established, ethnically correct, compatible to most, if not all,
South African whites, and held in high esteem mainly through the fortitude and
righteousness of our forefathers, whose genuine freedom struggle happens to be
commemorated in its centenary until May next year. In certain quarters a ‘Boer’
was made synonymous with a somewhat backward poor white divorced from his richer, better
educated cousins. Facing the bloody disaster together, is it really too much to ask to try
and overcome some of our emotional and historical knee-jerk antipathies? What are the
alternatives? The term ‘Boer’ would, actually, also be more of an advantage
today, given the world’s sympathy for the underdog and the poor, - in theory at
least. Furthermore, such an image undercuts our enemies’ anticipated loony left
propaganda just waiting to portray us as the bad, racist, wealthy whites out to deprive
and oppress the ‘poor blacks’. The fact that there never really was a proper
final peace treaty with the Boer Republics after the Second Anglo-Boer War, and that thus
their sovereignty and independence is just waiting to be picked up and carried forward to
be argued according to International Law right up the International Court, is a bonus not
to be sneezed at.
6. The Boer. This letter is called The Boer and aims to inform and to serve as a link
between those of us whites, Afrikaners, Boers, who are committed to and willing to work
for our own, free nation here in South Africa. The Boer wants to help find a way to where
we can live safely and without fear according to our own values, traditions and Christian
faith, to build a future for our children. We do not in any way want to encroach on the
rights of any other peoples and nations in South Africa. We underwrite the Freedom
Manifesto spelt out underneath and wish to emphasize that what we want is nothing more
than what people and nations all over the world accept as their God-given right, - a right
so deviously taken away from us by the ruling clique of traitors in 1994.

For God, our People and our Nation.
RESISTANCE
8. Paddles. Let us be brutally honest with ourselves : We are up the creek, without a
paddle. Fact. It is interesting to look back at some of the paddles we had or tried to
have. The worthwhile paddles, not the brandy-and-coke or con-man variety. We must admit,
first of all, that most of us, though progressively more disgusted with the way our
national heritage was being thrown to the wolves, were unable to grasp the depth and near
total spread of treason and cowardice in our political and military hierarchy. So the real
resistance attempted from 1993 onwards was done outside, actually against, our own
traditional top leadership and structures (with one or two notable exceptions). In
retrospect, this explains, at least to a certain degree, its failure so far.
9. Radio Pretoria. Realizing in the early nineties the importance of an own voice, a
proper resistance radio, a small, but enthusiastic and dedicated group of
‘amateurs’ begged, borrowed and scraped their way to ‘Radio Pretoria’
in 1993. Allowing its controlling body to be dominated by a ‘culture front’, - a
fatal mistake, as it turned out, - the founders nevertheless had it walking tall and
well-nigh invincible against any incoming communist regime in April 1994. It had become
THE point of resistance, against which our enemies would have destroyed themselves
politically, especially had they shot at and eliminated it by force. Precisely then, when
it could have turned the tide, it was … closed down by its own controlling body with
a majority of 5:3. Exit an ideal, immediate and physical rallying core of Afrikaner/Boer
resistance against the total sell-out. When Radio Pretoria re-opened a year later, it was
as a ‘regulated’, regime-licensed radio station, devoted to Afrikaner culture,
appreciated as our people's voice, - but minus the hard-core Boer resistance.
10. Fort Schanskop. Having established the Pretoria Boer Commando Group to guard and
defend Radio Pretoria, it was decided, by a small group of modern-day Boers, to occupy and
hold an old Boer fort as a symbolic resistance operation on the 7th of December 1993. This
was the day real power over the country was handed over to the so-called Transitional
Executive Council (TEC) by the de Klerk government, which was determined to set in motion
the ultimate betrayal of everything generations of South Africans and Boers had stood and
fought for. The symbolism, timing and relevance was perfect, the impact surpassed
expectations, and the powers-that-be were facing the dilemma of either crushing and
killing off the 24 lightly-armed young defenders and losing their holier-than-thou pose, -
or watching this little point of resistance grow bigger day by day, as supporters and
sympathizers literally gather round. Attempts to intimidate the defenders into surrender
failed. Then the trump-card was played by the de Klerk Regime: General Constand Viljoen,
until then generally well thought of, trusted and respected as the military leader of the
existing formal ‘resistance’ movement called the Volksfront. He was sent in
early on the 8th, and duly manipulated the young Boers into surrender, being accepted as
their top commanding officer. Another point of resistance neutralized by our own
‘leadership’.
11. Radio Donkerhoek. When Radio Pretoria closed down in 1994, some
‘bittereinders’ walked out in disgust and started all over again. With the
support of loyal ‘Friends of Donkerhoek’, they got a truly free and independent
radio station back on the air, covering little more than part of the Pretoria-Johannesburg
area. They cocked a snook at the so-called IBA for years, transmitted from cars and from
behind false walls, set up studios in the bush, and braved greedy informers and
sophisticated direction-finders, - all voluntary and without pay. On at least one occasion
the inimitable announcer Susan, two helpers and a little girl stared down the full task
force with a host of heavy policemen armed to the teeth. The people involved overcame
numerous set-backs and obstacles, until death, imprisonment and a lack of volunteers
brought down the personnel to literally one and the station closed down.
12. Christian Resistance. Amid so many fawning, political priests, there are some staunch
Christians, clergy and laymen, who are fighting the evil, state-sponsored onslaught on our
traditional values, morals and Christianity. Exposing themselves to ridicule and even
persecution, they try and stem the tide of abortions, pornography, godlessness and immoral
laws by protests, demonstrations and exhausting court cases. Desperately they appeal to a
rapidly ‘transforming’ judiciary, which, at the end of the day, is now under the
thumb of a newly created politically-appointed highest court and a godless constitution.
It pains to see these courageous men and women fight such a seemingly hopeless battle.
13. ‘Laers’. Abandoned by their traditional leaders, threatened by hostile
hordes let loose amongst them, some Boers have packed up and moved to the modern version
of the 19th century ‘laer’, little communities of their own. Here they join up
with their own kind, make do without alien labour, build their own houses and survive at
possibly a lower standard of living, but definitely with a higher chance of survival.
Orania in the Northern Cape is the oldest of these Boer/Afrikaner communities, joined by
others like Kleinfontein and Balmoral near Pretoria, and others. There are growing pains,
sometimes ugly, as the people used to an easy-going lifestyle and lots of elbow-room now
have to live closely with and adapt to their equals. However, they see little choice, if
they want to survive with lives, traditions, morals and values intact.
14. Training. Confronted by the general decline within the sovietized, dark ‘New
SA’, some Boers of the older generation have tried to prepare and equip our youth for
the struggle ahead, - inter alia in the Azanian economy. One good example was the Service
Training Centre at Spitskop near Balmoral, which was established by the late Fritz Meyer.
There young school-leavers were trained in basic skills, especially with an eye on farm
work. With Fritz passing away, the project has come to a standstill, though similar
attempts are in the pipeline.
15. Others. There were a few other, less prominent, but genuine attempts at resistance.
None of them ever led to a violent physical confrontation with the ruling powers. Many
patriots became disgusted with all the treason, cowardice and deceit all around them, many
more were struggling to survive and keep body, soul and family together, many were
hounded, persecuted, prosecuted, and thrown into jail by the Regime, - where some of them
still are, conveniently forgotten by most of us. There was, and is, so much wrong, so much
to be done if our beloved country is to be saved from barbarism and total ruin. And there
are so few with the time, ability and willingness to do it. Even where loyalties among old
comrades-in-arms should have made a worthwhile operation possible, like in Pomfret in the
Northern Cape, there was deceit and treason, and another long court case to ward off
charges laid. From Pomfret the forgotten South African soldiers in Zimbabwe were supposed
to have been rescued by a joint operation with trusted elements within the remnants of the
old defence force. The neo-communist authorities, ably supported by the fawning media,
were, - and are, - determined to eliminate any possibility for anyone to escape their
clutches. The tiny, miniscule Afrikaner ‘dorp’ of Orania, with its few hundred
people, is not even allowed its own independent village council, - it must be incorporated
into black-ruled municipalities 40km away, if the Regime has its way! This ruling regime
does not have everything going its way, - yet, - and on the judicial and other fronts some
resistance is being offered and some temporary respite is sometimes gained. But the
remaining bastions of fairness, justice and independence are also being
‘transformed’, and resistance, proper and decent resistance, is thought by most
of our people to be futile.
16. Preliminary Conclusion. The Gulag is in place. Step by step our people are hammered
and intimidated by black terror into the same type of dumb subservience and dull
acceptance, which allowed Soviet comrades to get away with mass- murder for 70 years and
the Rwandan Hutu majority with a one-time genocide in 1994. Between the ‘New South
African’ (Azanian) regime’s power and its black masses’ terror, we are now
firmly set on the same road to genocide. We are well and truly up the creek, not only
without a paddle, but soon without the very boat we are sitting in, if the dark forces of
Black Africa are allowed to carry on like they have carried on so far.
Now, if you have lost your paddle, and the boat is sinking, and you cannot get to shore, -
what do you do? Close your eyes to what must happen and drown? That is, sad to say, what
many of our people are doing at this very moment, and a hell of a lot more are going to do
in the near future, - unless somebody, somewhere, gets hold of a decent boat to climb
into. Actually, first just for them to SEE such a boat would be a vast improvement
already, so they can pick up hope, stop drowning and start doing something to save
