It's going to be a great laugh when they realise how they are being used and abused.
Isn't it ridiculous how many muslim ministers we have that are all hardline and anti Israel, I suppose a terrorist always supports another terrorist.
Why should AA policies apply to Muslims in this country when they are just enriching themselves well past income levels of ordinary whites and other race groups?
Does the ANC honestly believe these heathens are loyalists?
Anyone agree.

Would not South Africa have been better off today had minority dominance in Rhodesia been prolonged?
What kind of pressure was exerted from the leftist liberal west?

After this week with all the happenings in Zim and the ANC's denialist response, together with their communist orientated land laws, I believe we will see a re-enactment of Zimbabwes turbulent history in the next 5 years right here in SA.....
Your thoughts and predictions please.....

It's a given that blacks in Africa can't run their own countries. Every African run country eventually becomes a dictatorship run by corrupt savages that proceed to discriminate not only against white people, but against blacks, too.
Take look at Zimbabwe - currently undergoing a crisis that has countries evacuating their citizens (way to go Robert Mugabe). Because of Mugabe's sociopathic criminality, Zim is in the throes of history's first man-made famine. But what gets missed is that he stole much more land from black farmers than from their white counterparts.
South Africa is now in the first stages of its man-made famine, as land is stolen from people because of the color of their skin.

However, once a goverment legislates land-theft from white people, it reserves the right to steal it again from black people.

Don't the mostly ignorant masses in what used to be South Africa realise this, or are they content to live as starving savages at the mercy of the state forever?

What affect will this have on our daily lives if the situation in Zim spirals even more out of control?
The rand, plunging?
More illigal immigrants?
Your thoughts please.

Innocentia posted an interesting question about Guy Lundy´s speach:

http://blog.guylundy.com/i-pledge-allegiance-speech/2007/02/16/

These are my comments about his speach:

Of course one has to be positive and optimistic in life, but there are also dangers in taking his "too simplistic" view of things.

Basically what he is promoting is that people should stop complaining and then things will get better.
I think this is what most people did for the 1st 10 years living in a new South Africa.
Has he just returned to S.A. maybe we should give him a while to settle in and then chat again after a year or so.

I diagree with a few things that he said: (I have responded to some of his quotes.)

""Yes, we have problems, but so does everybody else.""-
Very, very few countries have the crime and political problems on a scale that South Africa has.

""Sure, the Rand is down the toilet, but if you look closely enough you’ll see that just about every other emerging market country has suffered from the same woes – and that includes Australia and New Zealand, which everyone seems in such a rush to get to.""
But Australia and New Zealand´s currency is not down the toilet (and never was) and they have one of the highest standards of living in the world (even when they were emerging). Sorry to say but that is an uneducated comparison.

"" And aren’t we lucky that we aren’t living in Argentina with their currency crisis?""
Their currency crisis was brought on by bad politics! Do I need to underline the relationship between bad politics in S.A and our unstable Rand?
And how noble a gesture is a comparison with another countries misery, is that supposed to make us feel better?!
(Anyway, Argentina have a lower crime rate!)

"" Sure, our neighbour, Zimbabwe, is run by a mad, despotic fool, but man am I glad that I don’t live in Pakistan right now. ""
No comment.

""We have AIDs, and we also have an army of people trying to find a cure for it – possibly more vigorously than anywhere else since we have the most to lose from it.""
Unfortunately we have a President and Health minister who don´t believe in the connection between HIV and AIDS.
And an ex-Deputy president who suggests taking a shower after sex.
And I tire of mentioning the beetroot and garlic recipes....

""We do have corruption, and the Americans have George W. Bush, whether they like it or not.""
No comment.

""We’ve got all sorts of problems, yes, but must we be so hard on ourselves?""
Are we being hard on ourselves or rather being hard on bad government, crime etc.

""In many ways we are far better off in South Africa as a whole than we have been at any time in our history. Our people are getting educated and housed at a world-beating rate, we have amongst the world’s cheapest electricity, our inflation is the lowest it’s been in my lifetime, we have an economic growth rate, and there is development everywhere you look. We have so much going for us; we have so many good people, such an interesting mix of cultures; we have so much beautiful countryside and natural resources that we can draw from – we really have such a bright future ahead of us.""

I think about the only thing still cheap (world comparatively) is electricity. Telecommunications is one of the most expensive in the world (if not the most expensive), inflation is way out of control in comparison with earnings, the cost of trying to keep safe costs an arm and a leg (pun intended), a massive housing crisis where the real issue is not being addressed - a non sustainable birth rate, a good economic growth rate but with a 27 Billion Rand municipal budget deficit.

""Let us concentrate on the positive things that surround us every day, the sunshine, the people, the beauty, the progress. Constantly criticising our country can only do harm – for you personally, your personal feeling of happiness and well-being, and for the country that you know from the bottom of your heart that you love, otherwise you wouldn’t be here.""
People have done this for many years but they have seen how neglected things have become by not complaining.

It is well known that the White South Africans have a culture of not complaining enough but the Black South Africans are excellent at organising, standing together and complaining.
We need to all learn from each other, learn the truth, and stand together, all of us and complain.
It is NOT unpatriotic to complain but instead it is our democratic right and may be the last means we have left to change what could be another African basket case!

when we merely separated ethnic groups whilst the Americans on the other hand slaughtered millions of red Indians, stole whole states from the Mexicans and Spanish and were the last Western nation to abolish slavery?
Surely theres a bit of hypocrisy going on??

Look at this link.

http://www.news24.com/News24/South_Africa/Politics/0,,2-7-12_2083108,00.html

Is this not the same as Zimbabwe or worse?
Is there not a potential for abuse here?

Surely this will greatly effect the speed at which property can be bought and sold in South Africa, which in turn will effect the market value.
What do you think?

South Africa has a population of around 44 000 000. 75% of them are black.
Each day, around 250 (mostly black) babies are born HIV positive.
By the end of 2005, 18.8% of adults (15-49) were HIV positive, and by the end of that year around 320 000 (mostly black) people dropped dead From AIDS.
By 2010, it's estimated that AIDS deaths will be around the 6 million mark.
An interesting statistic in South Africa is that three times as many people that attend weddings attend funerals.
The government's response?
Putting a Marxist witchdoctor in charge of the country's health, who swears that beetroot, garlic and vitamins are the answer. Silly me, I thought that garlic was only useful as a deterrent against vampires.
A president that (when sober) publicly refutes the correlation between HIV and AIDS, whilst he spends millions of rand to build a wall around his property.

it seems that the all powerful tokyo has offered his help to boere-rocker anton goosen, after goosen was was attacked on his farm.

luckily, goosen's dog, was unharmed during the attack, and the worst that happened was that goosen's ego was dented, and he was left "kaalgat tussen die daisies" so-to-speak, after the robbers nabbed his clothes. (fashion-challenged criminals perhaps?)

herewith goosen's account:

"They moered my head with an iron bar, the pillow was soaked in blood," he said on Thursday. "They were cold, calculating and cruel."

The robbers struck shortly after 23:00 on Wednesday night as Goosen slept at his farm, Gansbaai Lapa, on the bank of the Hennops River. The farm is part of an enclosed security area near Magaliesburg. It was the second time within weeks that thieves had struck on his farm. In this week's attack, the robbers broke open his kitchen door and overpowered him in his sleep.

now tokyo has offered his help. is tokyo a darkie boere rocker?
