What of the Future for South Africans abroad?

No-one can really tell what will happen in the future, whether it be 2 years, 2 decades or 2 generations. As far as it goes with South Africans living overseas the chances are greater that they will be assimilated into the society of their choosing.

Case and study is a group of Boer soldiers that were captured by the British during the Second Boer War. Like most countries during wartime P.O.W's are removed sometimes as far from the battlefield as possible, in this case the South African soldiers were shipped to Argentina where, after the war they could not return, or at least the British did not give a damn and just left them there. This all happened before the Treaty of Versailles or before any boundaries were drawn up as to conduct in war.

The families of these soldiers still live in Argentina, they speak Spanish and still to this day carry Afrikaans names, they are very religious and still speak a type of Afrikaans that has become bastardised over time, yet the one thing that they all can sing and are taught is .......Sarie Marais, a song sung by the Boers during the Boer War.

Whilst air travel makes it easier to get around the question here is are we all aware what will become of us, do we know who we are and are we willing to give up our South African roots for another cultures? This is a question I ask my self a lot- I do not have the answer but I hope that one day I will.

Ignorance is bliss Mr. Mbeki

We now have Mr. mbeki, our gloriously with-it president who's astounding achievements have been anything but exemplary in the arena of living in the real world.

Whilst everyone is aware of his denial of AIDS, the crime situation and the problems facing Zimbabwe he has championed the cause of the downtrodden and very misunderstood Mr. Mugabe, who's enemies are England and The Western world and he shows his distaste of this by taking it out on his own people. But that is another story.....

 Mr. mbeki on the other hand is somewhat of an African G. Bush. With all his mistakes he still thinks he comes out smelling like a rose. The point of this blog, instead of stating the obvious is actually to ask the question.... whilst mbeki touts powersharing in Zimbabwe- would the ANC have settled for anything less in S.A. circa 1994?   I think not!

What we can deduce from this is that Mr. mbeki is still looking after his old friend- and that the real principles supposedly upheld by the ANC are null and void when it suits them after all, the rumours firsthand are, that after the failed Equatorial Guinea incident, Mr. mbeki received a handsome reward from Mr. Mugabe, somewhere in the region of a million dollars for ratting on the mercenaries involved, oh, that included a whole lot of South Africans-black and white who are now sitting in one of the dictator (who is also a friend of Mbeki) of E. Guineas' notorious prisons. I hope he has spent that blood money well.

Protest!

William Shakespeare once wrote, the pen is mightier than the sword. In the case of South Africa this rings true. For 4 decades South Africa was at war, at home and internationally. Where the Old South African government waged bush war, members of the ANC were at the time exiled or imprisoned. For those who were in exile their benefactors were none other than the governments of the day, Sweden, Norway,  Cuba, various African countries and primarily Russia, who, at the time, bent on world domination funded a large portion of the ANC's financial needs and provided weapons which were turned on civilians and even the black population at large with bombing campaigns in the cities. Due to support from Russia and the ANC"S allies they created an international campaign which allowed themselves to be exposed as the fighters of justice, peace and equal rights. This said the ANC, a mainly communist body played the racist card to meet their end, unfortunately for the South African government at this time, it was the perfect recipe for disaster as the world became more aware of the term"apartheid" which was originally coined by Hendrik Verwoerd.

Due to this sympathy was in the ANC's favour whilst the old South African regime waged war on the fronts, the ANC waged war in the halls of the U.N. and in countries sympathetic to their cause. The ANC branches used every means possible to meet their ends including using photos of blacks sleeping in parks and then declaring to the world that the individual in the shot had indeed been killed by the police. Disinformation had found a new ally.

Eventually the ANC won out and the country was forced to take steps to allow the ANC to take power. However, what was thought to be a new beginning for all has escalated into absolute chaos. Murder is the order of the day, cities lie in ruin, becoming squatter camps, nothing is maintained and what used to be an orderly society and an almost 1st world country has descended into a dustbowl of litter, dirt, shanty towns and a society falling apart at the seams.

Now, the world suffers from Apartheid fatigue, no-one cares about the little old woman who is raped, stabbed has boiling water thrown over her and eventually and probably mercifully she is put out of her misery with a bullet to the head- her crime..........she is white. A lie? No, it happened and has happened to an old woman I knew and I have heard stories of other places where this has also occurred.

Where are the ANC now when they are suppose to protect and support everyone no matter what colour you are???

 Busy grooming their future leader, a convicted felon who is doing his best to dissolve any group who opposes his rise to stardom. 

The ANC have learnt well from their Russian masters,  yes, the pen is mightier than the sword. I think even Shakespeare would have a deep admiration for the ploys of the present government.
