This piece was penned by Mike Smith in mid 2007 and remains as relevant today as it did then, perhaps more so since the elevation of Jacob Zuma and his Leftwing allies to power. If anything, the situation is now more perilous for minorities under Zuma than it was under Mbeki because of the influence of the Communist Party - and winning the Cape means it has come back into play.
What Future Is There For Whites And Other Minorities?
What future is there for whites and other minorities in South Africa? It is not just whites who will disappear under the ANC/Communist rule, but all minorities - Coloureds, Indians and smaller black tribes.
I decided to take stock and maybe come up with a solution or a rescue plan to save the whites of South Africa. My approach will be two fold. First, we will look at the current path we are on and secondly, what path we should be on.
The path we are on
In my mind it is clear and there is no doubt that if we carry on the way we do at the moment, the Republic of South Africa will be heading down the same road as Zimbabwe. In a few years from now, we will be just as desperate and destitute as the people of Zimbabwe are now.
Some people may disagree with this. The liberals have faith in the blacks - they believe that blacks need some guidance and training to turn South Africa around. The Left wants to look at Botswana as an example. The Liberals think there is a future for South Africa and …for Africa. These same liberals believe that South Africa is a "Young Democracy", give it time, and all will be right in the end.
Now I have travelled extensively in my life, especially into Africa and I am not a naïve Liberal. I am also not easily convinced by the politically-correct ideology.
On the other end we have the Conservatives and Right-wingers. They are usually just as naïve, if not worse. They try to convince me that a new version of General Koos de la Rey will rise up to lead the Afrikaners to restore South Africa to its former state; the way it was prior to the "Great Afrikaner Betrayal" of 1994, when the known as "The New South Africa" came into existence under Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela.
These poor deluded souls read the prophecies of Nicholas (Siener) van Rensburg, as an appendix to the Revelations of St. John in The Bible. Some see it as even more accurate than The Bible. After a few drinks they sing "Die Stem" and "De la Rey, De la Rey". Then they talk about the braai, trying to convince their mates about how to solve all the "problems" in South Africa.
The "problems" they solved are normally listed as:
- Too many Blacks
- Whites can’t stand together
- Whites don’t have any good leaders
- The youth is useless
The reality in South Africa, let's take stock
South Africa is run by a Marxist regime. They are hell bent on having major black tribes dominating politics and the economy, and will not stop until they have achieved their goals. It is the same thing every other African country has tried to achieve. The inevitable result is:
- Total destruction of the economy
- Total destruction of food production
- Famine
- Total destruction and collapse of infrastructure
- Substandard education
- The eradication of all possible resistance, whites and other minorities through forced emigration, famine or genocide.
Zimbabwe-style Communist dictatorship is what the ANC is planning long-term for South Africa. Whether you think it is stupid is totally irrelevant to them. The aim is to stay in power forever. They do not care what they destroy or how many people they brutally kill in the process.
Now some deluded artists like Steve Hofmeyer, et al reckons, "No way!" or "Over my dead body".
Well Steve, I have news for you - that is exactly what is going to happen. They are going to take your beloved Pretoria and your beloved Loftus Rugby Stadium and destroy it. They are going to kill your children, rape and kill your wife in front of you and then hack you to death with machetes. Just like everywhere else in Africa!
This is what's going to happen to every single white family, liberal or conservative, who will not leave the country. They can deny, but deep down, they know it is the truth. They just don’t want to admit it to themselves, because it is just too horrible to imagine.
I am a realist and I speak the truth. Denial of the truth does not make the truth any less accurate. It remains the truth. Twenty or thirty years from now there will not be a single white person left in South Africa. They will all have either immigrated or been killed in a Rwanda-style genocide.
Now some will say, "The West will never allow it; they will send troops and rescue us. They will give us asylum". Yes, keep telling yourselves that. When Mugabe drove out 60,000 white farmers, Britain wouldn’t allow them in. Which country wants 60,000 asylum seekers on their doorstep? No one! Now tell me, which country is going to take in four million whites?
The solution
There is, however a solution. One can listen to it or discard it as unachievable, but if you do not qualify for immigration and if you are serious about remaining and surviving in South Africa, you may have no choice. General De La Rey will come back. The Boer will again have Generals and heroes, but there are a few things we must do first.
War goes through a process. First, the civilians need to want the war. That want must be strong enough for the Civilian leaders to act on it. The civilian government then instructs the generals to go to war. Generals are only assistants of the civilian government. Once the General starts the fight, civilian government must stay out of it.
We need to acknowledge reality. AIDS is not going to kill all the blacks and we will never outnumber them. Apartheid South Africa is gone. We will never get it back. The Boer Republics are gone and not going to be restored. The West is not going to help us in genocide; if anything they will side with the blacks and say that we deserved it.
Militarily if you are outnumbered you should defend and fight with your back to the wall. Siege warfare is the most difficult of all for the attackers and should only be used as a last resort. Siege warfare causes the enemy will take many casualties and still not win.
Now start thinking about Bloodriver - classic example of a concentration of numbers and siege warfare. Whether it is political or military warfare, concentration of numbers is your only way to success if you are under siege. Terrain also plays a big role in siege warfare.
So what do we need to do? White people need to start a "New Great Trek". We need to trek back to the Cape. Why the Cape?
First, the Blacks have no historical claim to the Cape. The Hotentots who were the original inhabitants, died out from smallpox in the eighteenth century. Current coloureds are mixed from Malaysians, Indonesians, Whites and Hottentots.
Second, the mountainous terrain makes access difficult. Access on a military scale (tanks, trucks, etc) is only possible through a few mountain passes and back roads. The passes and bridges can be blown up to control access. If it ever comes to a war, that is what we will have to do to defend.
Third, the Cape has two major harbours, Cape Town and Saldanha. The Cape is militarily strategic and very important to the Western World, so they might assist us. Further, the Cape has fertile soil and lots of water. So we will have plenty of food.
Some may argue that the Cape has no minerals, and all the gold and diamonds are up north. People won't just leave their houses en masse and look for jobs in the other part of the country.
Those are all true, but let us think it through. The problem is people's fear of the unknown. Let's look at the original "Great Trek" of our ancestors, including the English who trekked with the Dutch (it's a myth that it was only the Dutch who trekked).
Our ancestors faced dangers and unknowns worse than we ever would. They faced no infrastructure, lots of dangerous natives, wild animals, and little medicine. The only available good had to be hunted for. Our situation is a lot better than theirs, but we still don't want to trek. Why?
It is because we are "materialistic and cultural clingers". We cling to our houses in Waterkloof Ridge and Sandton, we cling to Loftus and the Voortrekker Monument. We cling to the names of Pretoria and Potchefstroom. We cling to the statue of Paul Kruger. We cling to our way of life and that is going to be our downfall. We need to learn to let go. Yes, it may be seen by some as admitting defeat for a proud people, but it will not be a real defeat. Letting go and trekking back to the Cape is a strategic withdrawal, not defeat. If you are not willing to do that, then things are not bad enough for you yet.
Forget Loftus; we will build a new Loftus in the Cape. Forget the Voortrekker monument; we will build a grander one! Forget that nice house in Sandton, we will build better ones in the Cape. Forget about what political party you vote for in Gauteng, it's useless anyway, and you can vote for them down in the Cape, if you so choose. Let go of your farm; it's lost! We will "Saam Farm" in the Cape on Kibutzes. Forget the gold and diamonds. Without the whites, the blacks will never get it out the ground anyway. We will start new "Gold Mines" in the Cape in the form of tourism and businesses.
White people of the north, our future is in the "New Great Trek" back to the Cape. It's either staying here in Transvaal and Freestate to get exterminated, or we trek back. Most of us (95%) can't immigrate, but we can make it work in the Cape. You know why? Because we are white! Not only are we going to make it work, but we are going to prosper! We and whites from the Cape can create funds to help people relocate. Whites in the Cape can help with temporary accommodation. We can stay by family or friends. We must just be prepared to take the step. We need to help each other. Once we have numerical superiority in the Cape and Political power, we declare our independence. Furthermore, we need to be prepared to defend the Cape with our lives because the ANC are not going to let us have it without a fight and it will be our last stand on this continent. We also need to ally with the coloureds because they are next in the extermination queue. Forget about the pedantics of politics. This is about survival.
It would be a new Boer South Africa, maybe much smaller, but safer and sustainable. At least we will be safe and free from ANC oppression. In our new South Africa, we will not have Affirmative Action or Black Economic Empowerment. We will have a proper police force, a functioning justice system, politicians that can govern properly without corruption and the death penalty for seriously violent crimes. We will have proper schools with mother tongue education, proper universities that actually teach, neighbourhoods where our kids can play without fear of crime, and farms where we can grow beautiful crops without the fear of being attacked.
What is it going to take to get our wheels rolling South? It took a genocide of 6 million Jews to get them to create the state of Israel. But we don't have 6 million people! Are we going to wait for our own holocaust before we begin the trek back? Time will tell.
Do not be afraid of the numerical difference we would face in a full blown war. Israel has only 6 million Jews and they are surrounded by 200 million hostile Arabs, yet they are holding out. Our ancestors were vastly outnumbered at Bloodriver and they survived. We held out against the Communists with only about 3,000 soldiers on the Angolan border, we can do it again. History is full of outnumbered armies who survived and defeated their aggressors.
Let us start finding solutions for the problems we face. Let us start identifying the leaders of our "New Great Trek". We need new Piet Retiefs, Andries Pretoriuses and Sarel Cilliers'. There is a lot to think about and plan. I do not have all the answers, but I have faith in my white brethren. I have been known to be a good listener too, so if anyone has any more suggestions; speak up. I am convinced that we can make a plan when we really have to. Let us get the proper planning in place so long.
General De la Rey and others will rise the day we need them the most!
18 Opinion(s):
I think most people would be in agreement with this article but what prevents them is the huge sacrifice that will be required. And there would be sacrifice, no doubt about it. So instead they cling on. Like that frog in the water that is gradually heating up. This is something our grandfathers should have seen coming and instead of trying to hog the whole lot, made that "great trek" 40 years ago. Then we would not be in this putrid mess.
Only answer is A TWO-STATE SOLUTION!
The UN supports it in Palestine, why not in South Africa?
@ anon 8:46, agreed but they won't because..get this..whites don't belong in South Africa, unlike Palestinians and Israelis that do have equal claims to the area. Supposedly, the bleks were here first so therefore the whites have no claim. The truth is bleks have NO CLAIM either because the Khoi and San were here first so the whole argument is bupkus. I couldn't agree with you more.
As long as the Capetonians are not going to become as rude, unfriendly and inhospitable as the Israeli's are.
I would not go to Israel and their 'stolen' land if it were free!
Hi Dobes, anon 8h46 here (aka Common Sense)
I reckon our aim should be to enlighten the world as to the truth behind "historical rights"...
eg. that blacks were only as far south as central Mozam., South-east Zim., Zambia and Central Angola, when the Portugeuse were already settled in Mozambique and Angola!
Although this is later in the future, another thing that ensures Israel's independence is W.M.D. Not just nuclear weapons, the black shanty towns are easy targets for genetically engineered bioweapons.
As the election results proved, there is only one area of South Africa where Whites can have ANY say in their own governance, and that's the Western Cape. The rest of the country is another Zimbabwe-in-the-making, and all non-brainwashed Whites and other minorities who see the writing on the wall will either emigrate, or better yet trek to the Cape.
By staying in Joburg, Pretoria, Durban or wherever, and refusing to concentrate their numbers in the Cape, Whites are ensuring that the entire country is doomed. Only by moving en masse to the Western Cape (also the Northern Cape and the Eastern Cape west of Port Elizabeth, the areas where Afrikaans-speakers are the majority and Blacks are a minority) can a semblance of Western civilisation be preserved in southern Africa. Otherwise 357 years (and counting) of White settlement will have been utterly wasted.
All patriotic White Saffers should raise a collective middle finger to the ANC and trek west to help build an independent Cape. Don't condemn your children to live as a threatened and despised minority under permanent Black Communist rule, choose freedom and independence at the Cape instead. Unless of course you like remaining a powerless tax-donkey for your Black Communist masters, meekly waiting for them to inevitably dispossess and/or kill you, your family, friends and neighbours, just like Mugabe has done with "his" Whites.
Mike Smith is mad. He claims to be a realist, yet ignores non-whites living in the Cape. What's MS's Afrikaner utopia delusion for them?
Mike Smith is indeed a mad racist who posts regularly on SAS. I am not in habit by the way of talking bad about people, but he and I had some interesting, to say the least, email exchanges. Suffice it to say that he comes across as very intelligent yet very racist, in fact he admits to it, sort of in tradition of Verwoerd. On white claims to SA, especially Cape, that is an old myth Doberman that whites and blacks arrived at same time. Afrikaner intellectuals inculcated that myth for years to justify subjugation and apartheid - see book "Political Mythology of Apartheid" (1985 publication) by the now-late Leonard Thompson. The fact is Xhosa and Khoi arrived there way before Afrikaners and Xhosa and Khoi interacted in a complex combination of conflict and cooperation. From the "Mind of South Africa" by Allister Sparks it also emerges that early Afrikaners killed off San people in massive numbers, sort of like settlers in US did to American Indians. I go along with what Sobukwe taught a while ago - the land of SA belongs to blacks and whites were usurpers or thieves of that land. I acknowledge that PAC slogan - "Izwe Lethu" (Our land) is an emotional rallying cry, but it does have some basis in historical fact. Whites should stay only if they show their only and true loyalty to Africa and South Africa and all of its people.
@ Black Coffee:
Like Settlers killed off Indians in the US?
And archaeological finds in US indicate that Solutreans occupied land before Beringians (not Indians as you call them).
Isn't it wonderful how you people can extract a specific time frame that supports your theories, but the history and facts before and after that timeframe is forgotten?
The fact is Whites have as much right to land in South Africa as Blacks. The black tribes currently in South Africa are not native to it.
But I guess it is pretty pointless debating with you - you are the wise crack who came up with Black Inventions in one of your comments.
If you haven't noticed yet, I placed an extensive article regarding Black Invention Myths here.
@BC. I agree with Island Shark. It seems convenient for blacks to establish a timeline that suits their agenda. If we reduce this argument to its simplest form we can argue that there is no such thing as tribes, and that all men have a common ancestor which probably came from sub-Saharan Africa. On that basis we could argue that all men have a right to settle in Africa.
The western half of South Africa, southern half of Namibia, and southwest quarter of Botswana were historically inhabited by the Khoisan people, not Black Bantus. Why? Because this dryland area was unsuitable to Bantu agriculture, so it was left to the Khoi pastoralists and San hunter-gatherers. Unlike the rest of sub-equatorial Africa, Bantus, to this day, have never been the majority in most of this area.
That's why the Western Cape, Northern Cape, and Eastern Cape west of Port Elizabeth (Capeland) should seek independence from the rest of South Africa. Besides having a completely different history and geography than the rest of the country, they have a Coloured (the nearest descendants of the Khoisan) rather than Black majority, and an Afrikaans-speaking rather than Bantu majority.
The Whites and Coloureds of the Cape mainly vote for the DA, or other smaller parties, as opposed to Blacks, who overwhelmingly vote for the ANC. So add a huge political divide to the already existing historical, geographical, racial, linguistic and cultural differences between the Cape and the rest of the country, and the reasons for an independent Capeland are manifold.
And Whites and other minorities should absolutely not show any loyalty to the one-party, Black nationalist, post-1994 South African state. Rather they should abandon eastern SA en masse for the Cape where they can build their own nation free from the corruption, incompetence and tyranny of ANC rule. Non-Blacks should show exactly the same loyalty to South Africa today that Blacks showed in the pre-1994 era, which is to say NONE.
Jeppo - part of what you say may be true, but part of it has been debunked by historians who have shown that Xhosa (a Bantu people) arrived in parts of Cape long before Afrikaners and interacted with Khoi in a mixture of cooperation and conflict. Of course, there is no such thing as unbiased history any more than unbiased journalism. I call things as I see them based on evidence. Islandshark - what archaeological finds do you refer to? Also, on another note, I would like to know if the picture shown here of the bruised girl is from an actual crime scene in SA? If so, what were circumstances?
Black Coffee spewed the following drivel from ANC propaganda:
"Jeppo - part of what you say may be true, but part of it has been debunked by historians who have shown that Xhosa (a Bantu people) arrived in parts of Cape long before Afrikaners and interacted with Khoi in a mixture of cooperation and conflict."
C'mon Greg, not even the rest of the Blacks in Africa agree with this nonsense.
The Boers first met Bushmen at the Boesmans River - hence the name, and were informed by the south-west moving Bushmen/Khoisan that the Nguni were forcing them south. The Xhosas were quite happy in Natal until Shaka's Mfecane forced them south to the Fish River. This boundary of the Cape had long been agreed a border between the Nguni and the Cape.
The furthest East the Khoikhoi were was Mossel Bay.
Collaboration between Xhosas and a mix of Khoi and Baster came later!
Fact!
Isn't it amazing how those who will have the White Africans (and Christians) wiped out will always claim that White Africans have no historical right to any Land in SA, despite Boers being the first to settle much of the Eastern Cape and obviously the interior(remember, the Khoikhoi left the desert well alone and trekked around it to get to the lush southern cape)!
Wake up people, Greg is on the payroll, it may just be his varsity fees they pay but he wouldn't be able to live the privaliged life of a student if they weren't supporting him!
I could still be working for the Rotheschilds and living a life of luxury, but I woke up to who was responsible for the destruction of my Nation!
Black Coffee, you say that you go along with the teachings of Sobukwe, that SA belongs to the Blacks and that Whites were usurpers and thieves of that land. Also you like the PAC slogan "Izwe Lethu", Our Land. OK, fair enough. But what about the non-Black majority at the Cape? Do they have the right to "Izwe Lethu" as well? Are you also opposed to the Black usurpers of the Cape from the Transkei and Ciskei? Because if the answer is no, that would be pretty hypocritical of you, wouldn't it?
I propose a division of assets in SA: The western third of the country for the Afrikaans and English-speaking Whites, Coloureds and Asians (Capeland), and the eastern two-thirds for the Black Bantus (Azania). You'd get 5 of the 6 largest cities in the country plus virtually all the mines and good agricultural land. We just want Cape Town and the dryland area once dominated by the Khoisan. Deal, or no deal?
Those supporting Mike Smith's drivel are either thick Dutchmen, or think like thick Dutchmen, with crude apartheid mindset. Those living in other SA cities besides Cape Town wouldn't want to trek to the Cape to live with thick Dutchmen and their mindless sycophants, with their oppressive, narrow-minded ways.
Anon 5:56 - what I said did not come out of "ANC propaganda", with ANC by the way believing as Freedom Charter said that South Africa belongs to all who live in it - black and white. Some whites probably think the ANC does not really believe that but that's another discussion. My statement on history was based on "Political Mythology of Apartheid" by Leonard Thompson, who was an American-based historian of South Africa. It also comes out of "Mind of South Africa" by white journalist Allister Sparks. I suppose Sparks is what you might call a white "liberal", having written an editorial in "Sunday Express" newspaper way back in 1976 after Soweto riots started that it was time to abandon apartheid. I wonder if SA might be better off today had Vorster and others of his ilk listened to Sparks back then.
Well Back Coffee for one thing Vorster was abandoning Apartheid LONG before the Soweto Riots. The plan to abandon Apartheid was made behind the scenes in 1963 due to a change in the leadership of the Afrikaner Broederbond whom Vorster was closely tied to.
One of the main reasons Verwoerd was assassinated in the first place was to make way for the total abandonment of Apartheid as initiated by Vorster & continued by P W Botha & F W De Klerk.
The Boer people are not " Afrikaners" [ this was the vile propaganda of the Afrikaner politicians ] & can not ever be dismissed as just White folks as the Boer people are an integral part of Africa having developed there long ago. Dutch born journalist Adriana Stuijt has pointed to findings which have DEBUNKED the notion that the Boers decimated the Khoisan.
The following is a post from: San People (Bushmen) face Extinction.
Quote: [ Date Posted: Tuesday 16-Oct-2007.
The San people have been evolving for the past 500 years, when the first Nguni (black) tribes started migrating from northern regions of Africa.
The Nguni tribes hunted the San people actively and enslaved them in large numbers -- thus causing physical integration into their tribes. This can be seen in the physical appearance of many tribesmen, especially among the Xhosa. Nelson Mandela acknowledged his San heritage but others often still don't, even though their features clearly show who their forefathers were.
The second wave of changes among the San came with the Trekboers, who started using them as cattleherders because they were so very good at this job. Boer livestock which was protected by San herders NEVER got rustled by the Nguni.
This created an interesting phenomenon: archeologists of the University of Witwatersrand did extensive studies in the San-graves on the old Boer farms to find out 'where the San had disappeared to' whereas the "Khoisan" population had increased dramatically in the countryside. For many years the Boers were accused of killing off the San, but the Boers themselves denied this vehemently, and correctly as it turned out.
It was found from the skeletons in the Boer workers' graveyards that the forefathers of the Khoisan were actually the San. Genetically there was no difference between the oldest skeletons and the latest ones. ] From: Adriana Stuijt.
The Boer people can not be seen in the limited one dimensional context of White folks because there is so much more to the Boers than this limited & incomplete nomenclature & would be tantamount to asserting that the Mohawks are just Brown folks living in Canada. To understand this is to understand the very nature of the Boer people as a nation.
