Many white South Africans feel guilty about Apartheid, they feel as if they actually did
something evil or bad, but that is totally wrong.
Ex president De Klerk apologised for Apartheid8 and so did the Dutch Reform Church
Dominee, Swanepoel who also started pulling out his intestines about Apartheid and
apologised on behalf of the entire church without any mandate from anyone of the
congregation. Ds Swanepoel se derm uitrygery oor Apartheid9
So when such “leaders” tell us how wrong we were, then we tend to believe them. But let us
look at the truth.
Anyone who knows the history of South Africa will know that nobody suffered more on the
soil of South Africa, no one has bled as much as the Afrikaners and their descendants the
Boers. The Whites of South Africa and specifically the Afrikaners have nothing to be sorry for.
In fact the Blacks owe them a tremendous gratitude and a gigantic apology for the way they
treated Whites in the last 350 years.
The Afrikaners have a song that is taught to all Afrikaans kids from the crib and that every
Afrikaner today knows. The name of this song is called, “Siembamba”. The lyrics are so heavy
that I almost do not want to repeat it here. But it goes like this,
“Siembamba, mama se kindjie,
Siembamba, mama se kindjie
–draai sy nek om, gooi hom in die sloot;
trap op sy kop dan is hy dood.”
For our international readers I will freely translate and then explain.
“Siembamba, mommies little child,
Siembamba, mommies little child,
–Wring his neck, throw him in the ditch,
Step on his head, then he is dead…”
Believe it or not…this is a song Afrikaans people sing to their children while rocking them to
sleep!
It records the brutality of the Xhosas who would indiscriminately kill white women and white
babies during the nine Kaffir wars. Black men are mostly cowards who are only brave when in

packs. They actually seldom engage in head on confrontation with White men. When they
attack it is always in groups, while people are asleep. Their preferred targets are the elderly,
women and children.
A common myth amongst foreigners and South Africans alike is that they think that before
the White man came to Africa, Blacks lived in peace and harmony with nature and with each
other.
This harmony with nature is not entirely wrong. It is the perception of “In harmony with
nature” that is misunderstood.
People want to believe that nature is pure and good and that the lion lies with the lamb, but
reality is far removed from that. When one sees how hyenas tear a live animal apart, how a
praying mantis bites the head off her mate after copulation how the Streptococcus bacteria
can destroy human flesh, one is left with a feeling that nature can be very cruel.
Nature amongst African blacks have always been very cruel. Blacks who supposedly lived in
tune with nature were regularly eaten by lions, crocodiles, bitten by snakes, stung by
scorpions and their numbers controlled by insects like the mosquito (Malaria) or the Tsetse
fly(sleeping sickness). Yellow fever and Cholera were other forms of nature to control the
numbers of Blacks…
But it has to be said that before the white people came to Africa, the most effective way
Blacks controlled their own populations were with genocidal tribal wars…and cannibalism.
Let me point out some of the psyche of the Blacks in order to try and understand his petty
jealousy and envy.
Amongst the Black communities it is not allowed for individuals to show ingenuity or
individualistic prosperity. The moment one Black person starts to rise a little above the
others, he will be the first one to be hammered down by the community like a nail in a
wooden floor. Those who do prosper are ostracised by their black tribes and it will be said of
them that they are not real blacks that they are whites with a black skin…
That mentality still persists to this day, but this petty envy is accompanied with an inbred,
inextinguishable, brutality that the whites of Africa came face to face with and learned
about the hard way.
Ever since the white man set foot on South African soil, he has been shocked and horrified at
the brutality of the blacks. No matter how much the whites wanted to believe in the
“equality of man”, they were sadly confronted only with the brutality and reality of Stone
Age savages.
Blacks of central Africa sold other blacks they have conquered into slavery to Arabs, other
black tribes and also to whites. The moment one tribe had a bit more than the others, they
would be prone to a nocturnal raid by neighbouring tribes who would kill all the men, rape
the women and children, steal the cattle and incorporate the women and children into their
own tribes.
Tribes who were not strong enough would flee the area. In sub Saharan Africa it meant that
nobody wanted to flee north, because they knew it was a desert where they could not
survive. So the only way was to flee south. The weakest of the weakest tribes were right in
the front, followed by a slightly stronger tribe, followed by ever increasing stronger tribes
further north, driving the weaker ones south.

Roundabout the same time that whites first settled in South Africa, black tribes first entered
South Africa. They were contemporary settlers of the area now known as South Africa. In
some areas whites were the first and in others, blacks were the first.
Blacks moving South and Whites moving north looking for better grazing for their cattle
eventually met at the Fish and the Kei rivers around 1770…About 120 years after the Whites
first (permanently) settled at the Cape of Good Hope in 1652 . To put it into perspective, it
was about the same time as New York was founded in the USA.
Who were these Blacks they met at the Fish River? They were the Xhosa. The Xhosa were
fleeing from the Zulus who murdered them en masse. Even until today the word or name
“Xhosa” in Zulu is synonymous with the word “coward”.
The animosity between the Xhosas and the Zulus goes back hundreds of years. Mandela and
Mbeki, the two previous presidents were both Xhosas, but the current president, Jacob Zuma
is a Zulu. Zulus and Xhosas hate each other more than they hate whites and that says a lot.
But why do the other Blacks of South Africa hate the Zulus? It goes back to “King” Shaka.
Note I put “King” in inverted commas. Blacks can never be kings of any kind…before one can
be a King, one should first be a MAN.
Shaka was a sadistic psychopath who committed genocide on a larger scale than Rwanda has
ever seen. The Zulus wiped out entire tribes, entire cultures in what is today known as the
Mfecane or Dfecane (Annihilation). Shaka’s terror was so great that Mzilikazi, the chief of the
Matabeles fled BACK NORTH…direction where Zimbabwe is today.
Amongst all this chaos arrived the White man in the region of the Xhosas. They fought nine
“Wars” against the Xhosa between 1811 and 1879. The Frontier Wars, Kaffir wars or Xhosa
wars10
Everytime the wars were about Xhosas stealing cattle and other livestock, burning down
homesteads, killing not only white farmer families in the most horrific torturing ways, but
also the coloureds who worked for the whites.
It was at the time of the sixth Kaffir war that Piet Retief decided to trek with the other
Voortrekkers.
Piet Retief and his party thought they could negotiate and buy land from the Zulus, but they
were massacred on a hill at the kraal of the Zulu King, Dingaan when they respected the
wishes of Dingaan to leave their weapons outside.
Every man and boy, around 100 in total, were clubbed to death. Retief was the last to be
killed, so as to witness the death of his comrades.
Dingaan then ordered all Voortrekker laagers to be attacked along the Bushman’s River. An
orgy of violence started. Families were camped at Bloukrans, Dorinkop, Moordspruit, etc.
Cowardly blacks would attack them during the middle of the night, killing everyone in the
most horrific ways. Women were brutally gang raped and pregnant women were cut open,
their babies killed in front of them while they still lived. Small children and babies were
picked up by their feet and their heads smashed against the sides of the wagons.

Among the Voortrekkers , 41 men, 56 women and 185 children were killed. In addition
another 250 or 252 Khoikhoi and Basuto that accompanied the Voortrekkers were killed. A girl
called Johanna van der Merwe (12 years old at the time) sustained 21 assegai wounds, but
managed to survive.
The Voortrekkers built the town Weenen (meaning wailing) at the site.
The Bloukrans Massacre11
Throughout the following decades up until the present day the whites of South have
experienced this petty envy and brutality at the hands of blacks. Examples are legion. Boers
retaliated at Makapansgat12 where blacks savagely murdered whites in the most horrific ways.
Hermanus Potgeter was tied down to a rock bed and skinned alive like an animal while still
conscious, he died while the blacks ripped his organs out.
More lately we saw the brutal black on black murders with the necklace method13 . We saw
blacks storming into white churches with AK 47’s and hand grenades, opening fire on the
unarmed congregation such as at the St James Church massacre14. We have seen everything
from brutal Muti murders15 to the evil torture preceding the brutal killings of White farmers
and their family members in Rhodesia, Namibia and also in South Africa, most of the time
nothing stolen. More than 3000 White farmers and family members murdered to date since
the ANC took over in 1994.
It is necessary to reiterate that this violent nature of blacks are not directed at whites only,
so the black behaviour apologetics who claim that this behaviour is retribution for wrongs
committed by whites against blacks, have no leg to stand on, because most often than not
this black violent nature is directed at their own kind as we have seen with Shaka’s defecane,
Muti murders and necklacing.
No, this brutality, this murderous, stealing and other asocial behaviour of Blacks could never
and can never be reconciled with the behaviour of the deeply religious and pious Boers of
South Africa.
This violent behaviour of blacks was one of the rationales for Apartheid. The other was
cultural differences. More on that in the next edition. For now it is important to realise that
whites in South Africa never wanted to rule blacks.
