A White South African Shares His Story of Apartheid

Yesterday - 16 December - was Day of Reconciliation in South Africa – a public holiday.

As reconciliation is a pipe dream and a farce, people of all races, yes  whites included joined hands to march against the useless president Zuma – so at least for the momentous moments where all races thinking alike could reconcile to voice their concern and dismay over useless Zuma, and he used this day to lash out against whites once again – boring you would say because it happens regularly  just as his mentor Mugabe cannot stop talking about the whites and how they despise them.  But anyway, as long as Zuma and Mugabe talk about the whites, it means they still envy the whites for their superiority in everything – except dragging a country into the gutters and sewage – on this matter Zuma and Mugabe and their cronies are experts!

Back to my story – so, Zuma told a skeleton number of people (it were only those nobodies who usually vote for the ANC for the freebies who attended) at a Day of Reconciliation event in Port Elizabeth that there cannot be any reconciliation unless all races, including whites talk about Apartheid and share their stories of Apartheid. NOTE: I personally see this as a threat from Zuma that there must be a revolution before they (ANC) will reconcile with whites! (READ THE REPORT ABOUT THE EVENT HERE)

Here is my story of Apartheid:

As a white I am not ashamed of Apartheid and never will I say sorry for the system. Apartheid just meant separate development (Afsonderlike Ontwikkeling) – where every race could develop and manage themselves in designated areas. Even blacks accepted the system and its implementation with the establishment of inter alia Bophuthatswana, Transkei, Ciskei and other areas.

But, terrorists organisations like the ANC and PAC rather decided to reject it.Rather than to follow the avenue of consultation and diplomacy, they opted for the way of terrorism to fight this system. Read my article: Why the ANC is/has been doomedto fail as a Government.

The ANC brag that they established a democracy in South Africa? This is hogwash! You cannot establish a democracy by means of terrorism! That is why the ANC fails as a government.

Therefore, I will never reconcile unless the ANC accept responsibility for all their terrorism  attacks and acts of war crimes during their so-called struggle:

Bombings

In 1983, the Church Street bomb was detonated in Pretoria in front the South African Air Force Headquarters, resulting in 19 deaths and 217 injuries. I WAS THERE WHEN THE BOMB EXPLODED!!!

 During the next 10 years, a series of bombings occurred in South Africa, conducted mainly by MK:

In the 1985 Amanzimtoti bomb on the Natal South Coast, five civilians were killed and 40 were injured when Andrew Sibusiso Zondo detonated an explosive in a rubbish bin at a shopping centre shortly before Christmas. Fortunately this bastard was hanged!

In the 1986 Durban beach-front bombing, a bomb was detonated in a bar, killing three civilians and injuring 69. Robert McBride received the death penalty for this bombing which became known as the "Magoo's Bar bombing". McBride was supposed to hang too but he received clemency and what did the ANC do to spite the whites?? They appointed him as chief of MPD Ekurhuleni as reward for the bomb!

In 1987, an explosion outside a Johannesburg court killed three people and injured 10; a court in Newcastle had been attacked in a similar way the previous year, injuring 24. In 1987, a bomb exploded at a military command centre in Johannesburg, killing one person and injuring 68 personnel.

The terror campaign continued with attacks on a series of soft targets, including a bank in Roodepoort in 1988, in which four civilians were killed and 18 injured. Also in 1988, a bomb outside a magistrate's court killed three. At the Ellis Park rugby stadium in Johannesburg, a car bomb killed two and injured 37 civilians. A multitude of bombs in Wimpy Bar fast food outlets and supermarkets occurred during the late 1980s, killing and wounding many people. Wimpy were specifically targeted because of their perceived rigid enforcements of many apartheid laws, including excluding non-whites from their restaurants. Several other bombings occurred, with smaller numbers of casualties.

Landmine campaign

From 1985 to 1987, there also was a campaign to place anti-tank mines on rural roads in what was then the Northern Transvaal. This tactic was abandoned due to the high rate of civilian casualties—especially amongst black labourers. The ANC estimated 30 land-mine explosions resulting in 23 deaths, while the government submitted a figure of 57 explosions resulting in 25 deaths.

Zuma, there you have it – my apartheid story as asked by you and the reason why I despise the ANC just like they despise me.

If you want real reconciliation then you and all the main peanuts of the ANC who were responsible and gave orders for all the terrorist attacks must first apologize and then we will take it from there.

Why the ANC is/has been doomed to fail as a Government

The Media and the Social Media is rife with concerns over the way Zuma and his ANC are governing this once beautiful country.

There are many examples of Zuma’s foot in the mouth utterances but the most recent one that still has the country up in arms is that the ANC comes first and then the country.

And that remark is exactly what this article is all about – that is the typical rhetoric of a terrorist organisation and that is why South Africa is down the drain, because the ANC was and still is just a terrorist organisation and not a political party, only concerned with their own selfish agendas!!!!

I don’t have the faintest respect for Mandela because he lived a life of terrorism and died a terrorist, not an icon. I know people want to crucify me, they can, and I do not give a damn. Like a Luther of many centuries ago I can only say “Here I stand, I cannot deviate from my beliefs.” I even wrote an article about the Mandela as terrorist and you can read that article HERE!

But let us get back to the current situation of good governance (or lack of it!) in South Africa which is a farce. The ANC came to power as a terrorist organisation and never made the transition to a political party and equipped themselves as a political party to govern this country as it should be. (Mandela and his cronies were rather prepared to spend their lives in prison rotting than empower and equip them and their followers for this humongous task of governing a country!)

The difference between the ANC as terrorist organisation and the ANC as political party which they could have become is that terrorism is a means, not a cause. First mistake of the ANC, they thought they were fighting for a cause. Wrong! You can love the sinner, but you must hate the sin. Terrorism, by its very nature, is random. It must strike the innocent. Terrorism must kill the child if it is to shock the adult – and thus it only becomes a horrendous criminal act! Terrorism must hurt the helpless if it is to gain the world’s attention – making Mandela and his cronies nothing more than war criminals!

Terrorism is evil! It did not matter how noble was the cause that the ANC terrorists served, the methods were evil. Making them evil men and women. You could wrap terrorism in a flag of the most delicate black, green and gold, but that did not make it right!

The idiot liberals would say the ANC had no choice! WRONG!! A terrorist always chooses to use the bullet and the bomb because he knows that if he relinquishes those weapons then he is reduced to the level of the ordinary politicians who had to struggle with the mundane problems of EDUCATION, HEALTH, UNEMPLOYMENT, and all other pillars of government!! Terrorists (ANC) having no answer to those matters, talked in transcendent terms. They claimed their bullets would bring in the millennium and their bullets would make a perfect South Africa – 21 years after 1994, where are South Africa????  And the country is still gripped by terror, this time in another format!!

21 years into the so-called democracy, the ANC still have no answers to the mundane problems of EDUCATION, HEALTH, UNEMPLOYMENT, and all other pillars of government!!

Therefore, I rest my case; the ANC could never bridge the gap from terrorist organisation to political organisation! We are doomed!

Zuma: A President to be Respected and Trusted?

Zuma: A President to be Respected and Trusted or A President to be Booted Out?

Can You Trust and Respect This Man?

In a democracy where the people has spoken and decided by means of a fair election who must lead and govern the country, those who did not vote for the winning party or are not supporters of that party must accept this principle and actually support the elected government, to put the country first! That is where the expectation also comes from that the elected president and government must be trusted and respected.

But, a coin always has two sides and equally true and applicable is the principle that the president and his government are there to serve all citizens of that country and all citizens must also be equally respected, everyone is equal and the country comes first.

Unfortunately these noble principles of a democracy are not applicable to Zuma anymore. My opinion is that it was never applicable to him. Remember, whoever you are, you do not deserve respect and trust, you must earn it, and once you have earned it, you will deserve it.

From day one when he was elected for his first term, he did nothing to earn the trust and respect from all citizens. Think for yourself, could/can he be trusted when during the election campaign he sang with his rowdy supporters “Kill the Boer?” Certainly not, I for one do not and cannot trust him, will never!

And as his term continued and he even went into the second term he became more and more untrustworthy and since his first election up to today, he did not move a finger to earn respect. How can I respect him if he does not respect me, does not respect my language, does not respect my heritage, using every opportunity to blame the White people for everything that went wrong at the hands of the ANC during the past 21 years? And how can I respect and trust if he does not move a finger to safeguard my language and heritage, or my rights?

And the cherry on top was when he publically announced that the ANC comes first, only after that South Africa.

Can you trust and respect such a president. I cannot, I despise him!

Racism In South Africa: A White Perspective

A week does not go by in South Africa without at least one article in the Media or social platforms about racism in South Africa. Which may be good, but the manner in which it is done, gives me the creeps – it is usually a mumble-jumble of how this phenomenon is eating away the South African society like cancer but no facts are provided no solutions, and it is subtly suggested that it is Whites only who are the racists and it just stay there with the usual rhetoric week after week.

I am White and I will be the first one to admit that there are Whites who are racists and I despise it. But just to suggest that all Whites are racists is ludicrous. And to deny the fact or to keep quiet that Blacks, Coloreds and Asians are racists is also just as ludicrous and before I shoot myself in the foot, not all Blacks, Coloreds and Asians are racists. Just like with the Whites, they are in the minority.

It is also my opinion that Whites are the victims of racism in South Africa and before I am accused of generalization, here are my facts:

-       Street names and names of cities and towns were/are changed for the sake of hurting and spiting the Whites –what does names like Nylstroom, Pietersburg, Beit Bridge, Church Street, Vermeulen Street, etc. have to do with Apartheid? Nothing!  Even now, in 2015, the EFF declared war on ‘white town names’ in the Western Cape! Racism at its best, EFF!

-         The Kholer Barnard issue: by the mere fact that the ANC explicitly branded it a racial issue and even branded her as a racist because she is White and also branded the DA as racist because of the many Whites supporting the DA, the ANC was racist!

-          Zuma used/uses any opportunity to gun the Whites – example, his remarks on Jan van Riebeeck were according to me racist. And what about him singing “Kill the Boer?”

-          Vandalizing monuments and statues relating to the cultural heritage of the Whites because ‘it reminds Blacks of Apartheid’ is nothing less than racism against whites.

-          It is racism to have exclusive White institutions and bodies like schools and universities but it is not racism to have exclusive Black institutions and bodies like the Black Lawyers Association or the Black primary school in Devon where the language is Zulu and requests to introduce English also to allow Whites were rejected “in order to keep it Black’.

-       ANC politicians branding Whites as disloyal to South Africa because they do not attend cultural and public holiday events (because it is high jacked for political gain) is also racism.

-   The so-called campaigns against Afrikaans in the National Anthem, in schools and now also universities are also racism because it ‘is the Mother tongue of Whites’.

-   My perception is that the Black rhetoric that “this or that reminds us (21 years into the democracy?) of Apartheid” is nothing more than a reflection on Whites that “there is indeed no place for you in South Africa” which is racism.

There you are; my perceptions that that racism against Whites are alive and well in South Africa. Remember, it is a White person’s perceptions!

So, the Blacks, Coloureds, Indians and Whites all have their perceptions that they are the victims of racism.

What are the solutions? Easy, let us set perceptions aside and focus on individual cases and facts and address and solve those and those alone. And let us refrain from generalization. Only then we could move forward and avoid creating unnecessary racial tension and subsequent division of races into camps, because then the EFF’s wish will come true for a South African revolution where nobody will be winners!    

Jacob Zuma and his Paranoia regarding Whites

The more you get to know Jacob Zuma (something you don’t want to do but have to) the more you realize this man has paranoia regarding whites. Why? No even Zuma himself knows!

My opinion is that maybe he suffers from an inferior complex when he compares himself with whites. Or maybe he has a bad conscious as a result of all the atrocities of the ANC against whites during their so-called struggle for which nobody, not even arch-terrorist Mandela had the decency or guts to apologise  when they took over in 1994 – but the whites had to apologise over and over, even today.

Instead of apologising Zuma use every opportunity to gun the whites, even more than 21 years into the “new democracy” for things they, the ANC have buggered up – electricity crisis, water crisis, crime, you name something that they have buggered up and it is the whites. And don’t forget, the race card that is been played time after time. Recently he even blamed Jan Van Riebeeck for everything that went wrong!! And whenever he has the opportunity he blames white Europe – they are colonists, imperialists, racists, creators of the African migration problem, etc. But when it comes to the need for hand-outs he is there with his big fake smile like his visit to Germany!

Like I said unfortunately we have to take note of Zuma and live with it but at the end of the day it seems to be nothing more than a case of verbal diarrhea! 

Danie de Villiers

ANC are Hostages!

The ANC are hostages to history, although triumphant in their so-called Struggle, the people they liberated are still queuing for hand-outs (houses, jobs, electricity, food, water, free university fees, tampons, condoms, etc.), and instead they still condemn the Whites as Apartheid ogres!

And it is this same history that will judge them as failures, just like the rest of Africa's liberators were failures!

Get a life, ANC!

Heyneke Meyer – Skunk of SA Rugby?

I write this post today, 30 October 2015 before this evening’s play-off with Argentina. The reason is that irrespective of the outcome of this game, my opinion expressed in this post will not change.

Let us be honest and frank, Meyer got a raw deal from the supporters of rugby, those who do not support rugby, politicians, the Media and those who know nothing about rugby (politicians and Media) but tried to capitalize on some misfortunes of the Boks, like Cosatu Western Cape and De Villiers the previous Bok coach whose term as coach was a disaster!

Typical South African style, efforts were made to mix rugby with politics and racism. Remember the uproar  after the game where we lost against Argentina earlier this year? Where Cosatu Western Cape tried to make the political issue that 5 black players complained against Meyer for racism and not giving them ample play time? It was just a storm in a tea cup but Cosatu never have proven their allegations. Cowards?

Then the first game against Japan at RWC 2015? Where everyone wanted to crucify Meyer and wanted his blood? And then suddenly when the Boks advanced to the semi’s? The politicians and Cosatu’s big mouths were quiet.

This is rugby and if you do not understand it, shut up!!!  At the end of the day the All Blacks were just that little bit more lucky than the Boks – it did not mean the Boks were pathetic and Meyer useless. Shit happens! But remember what Hansen jokingly said in the week building up to the semi-final that he was glad that he did not need to choose a team on representativeness, only on merit! That is the joke of South Africa, merit is gone, only AA, BEE and representation! A farce!

Now, after the semi we lost, the clevers now say Meyer must go! Kak, man kak! Some even say we must now get a coach from outside SA. Kak man, kak! Which international coach will want to coach a team where he must work on AA, BEE and representation? Only a fool! And then he has to contend with political and labour interference? Kak man kak!!

But, whatever the politicians will do with rugby, Meyer is not the skunk of SA Rugby. He did his best and if I were him, I would show them the middle finger and go coaching abroad.

Well done Meyer!

The Real Reason for the Students’ Fees Must Fall Revolt of 2015

To start with, I do not call them students because they do not deserve it. They are not students, they are hooligans and thugs. Because they did not act like students!

The entire 2015 these hooligans and thugs fabricated excuses not to study but rather to show that they are indeed hooligans and thugs.

There were the various incidents of marches and toi-toi’s against so-called racism on campuses, against Afrikaans, against monuments and statutes of the so-called white imperialists. You name it and they found a reason to break, destroy, burn and just to show us that they are indeed hooligans and thugs.

Then as the end of the academic year was upon the thugs and hooligans some of them realised they spent more time outside the classrooms that they got too far behind to salvage lost time – they would never pass the year-end exams.

So, what happened? Yes, they went to the streets again, this time to burn, destroy, break and just to be hooligans and thugs in the name of ‘no fee increases for 2016’ and ‘free tuition’. So, they knew that they would not pass 2015 but now they had the excuses they were revolting against fee increases and for free education.

And, now they would demand that all of them must be credited for the subjects of 2015.

And we know what will happen if universities do not comply . . . . . they will start 2016 academic year with a revolt!!

And the joke of the revolts of 2015 is that the Media and the DA supported these hooligans in their ‘noble’ quest for justice whilst the EFF actually was fuelling the revolts!

Yes, this is the South Africa we can be proud of?????

Proteas Blackwashed by Kiwi’s in Second ODI

When South Africa just won the 1^st ODI against the Kiwi’s the entire South Africa was swooning about the victory and how great the players were and how far this team could go in the future.

And today? The Kiwi’s whitewashed us, OOPS, sorry, the political correct term in the new but not better South Africa is BLACKWASHED .

COSATU will be proud of me for this new word!!

Antjie Krog Praat Snert!!

Lees hierdie berig eers: ANTJIE KROG PRAAT SNERT

Hel die vroumens kan snert praat. Die swartes is nou al meer as 21 jaar aan bewind en nog niks positiefs gedoen om hulle eie mense te op te lig nie - alles deur hulle gatte getrek en nou verwag die vroumens ons wittes moet maar weer die drol uit die drinkwater, letterlik en figuurlik, gaan uithaal!

Is this a Defence Force we as South Africans must Trust and Respect?

Read this news item first: Army of Sex Pests

Is this a defence Force we must trust and respect? I don’t think so.

But then, what can we trust and respect now-a-days in South Africa?

Certainly not the general public service – service delivery is down the drain. The only thing they can do good is toy-toy and strike for more money.

Certainly not the SAPS – not all the criminal elements within the Service and with a Commissioner who should long ago been fired for the Marikana fiasco and the Lamoer issue.

Certainly not the Post Office – we do not know whether they strike or not because whether they strike or not, their service is pathetic.

Certainly not Eskom – they are incompetent to management the electricity supply for South Africa and therefore Eskom can collapse any day.

Certainly not the various MPD’s – the less we say about them the better!

Certainly not the ANC – the less we say about them the better.

And what about Zuma??  He is the least anybody can trust!

But let us go back the news item under discussion. With a President who in court stated that he did not used condoms because he took showers after sex, what example is he setting for all males in South Africa, including all male soldiers?  No wonder the Defence Force is

In conclusion, I ask again, is this a Defence Force we must trust? NO!! Rather be afraid, very afraid!

I do not trust Zuma nor respect him!

Max Du Preez and the South African Hysteria Over the Dylann Roof Circus

As expected, Max du Preez could not let the chance slip through his fingers to jump on the hysteria Bandwagon called Dylann Roof. Read his article Dylann Roof shares apartheid's ideology

Dylann Roof Band-wagon

In the good old South Africa Max used every opportunity to ‘expose’ the racist whites - oops, make that Afrikaans speaking whites - and in the new, but not so good South Africa Max is still at his best to expose or then just write for the sake of writing about the racist shenanigans of the Afrikaans speaking whites. Our own Don Quixote!

With this new adventure, Max joins the hysteria of other South Africans about the Dylann Roof case to highlight racism in South Africa and even good old apartheid - and in the process outdone their American colleagues who are known for their Hollywood-movie-script style of making mountains out of molehills. See a previous article of mine

All I can say about Max’s article is ‘much said about nothing’, but boy, he had to write something (Note to Max - please the word boy I use here is not the racist one). For instance, what in heaven’s sake does the Wit Wolf have to do with Dylann Roof, Max? - Oops, sorry, just to grind the Afrikaans speaking whites!

Why, Oh Why Do Blacks Always Play the Race Card?

Please read the following to articles first:

Number 1

Number 2

This happened in America but immediately Blacks in South Africa jumped on the band wagon to make a racial issue of it! And what they do not understand that in America the blacks (Oops! Sorry, Afro-Americans) are the minority, here the blacks (or is it Afro-South Africans??) are the the majority. (Why don't they call the whites in America Euro-Americans? Or White Americans? Only they will know!)

But anyway, in the good old South Africa (that was before 1994) there was the adage that whatever happened, “they always kicked a communist out of a bush”. (“’n Kommunis word agter elke bos uitgeskop”.) In the new, not so good South Africa (that is now after 1994) the adage is “they always kick a racist out of a bush”. (“‘n Rassis word agter elke bos uitgeskop”.)

It is now more than 21 years into a democratic South Africa (actually a joke, because Zuma and the ANC destroyed any form of democracy - just go and look what happens in Parliament!) and the blacks still see the whites (which are in the minority) as a threat! WOW!

Get a life please - stop walking in the shadows of the whites, stop feeling inferior to the whites. The future is yours, stop back peddling.

Take back the democracy Zuma and the ANC destroyed and start building a democracy that will be the envy of Africa - currently Africa is laughing their asses off for democracy prevailing here!

Youth Day 2015 - Nothing Much To Celebrate About!

Today is Youth Day - politicians, especial the corrupt ANC leaders and the bombaai guys from the EFF will suffer from verbal diarrhea as they will try to motivate and brag what the youth of South Africa had brought about in South Africa and how the struggle had brought a new wonderful democracy for everyone, except for the whites!

Yes, a lot of crap! But let us be realistic, the youth of 1976 was better off than the youth of today, 2015! Wait, before you just whine again that I am a white racist. Listen me out!

In 1976 the youth revolted against the oppressive white government? Aikona! That is the story the useless ANC will tell you. It was just a conspiracy of Mandela and the other ANC leaders in jail at that time to use the youth as cannon fodder! Which was a failure but gave the idiots in jail something to talk about every 16 June as from 1994.

Check this out

Think for yourself:

• ·         In 2015 the youth still revolts against the government which incidentally is black! Revolting against poor service delivery of useless corrupt ANC counselors on local government level, for free tampons and condoms on campuses, against statutes reminding them of imperialism and apartheid, against tuition fees at universities, for jobs, etc. Rather than enjoying the democracy and governing this country the youth is breaking this country, burning it, destroying it.
• ·         In 1994 the youth shouted AMANDLA! Poor idiots did not know what it was all about. I am white (and very proud about it) and was that time an assistant director in Correctional Services and the poor young warders (black) was boastful that now they would be the commissioners. Idiots did not want to listen when I told them that there was only one post for Commissioner and not all of them could be Commissioner. Shame, 21 years later I pensioned from the Department as an assistant director but the poor idiots of 1994 are still no further than sergeant, if they did not yet died of AIDS.
• ·         There are still no jobs although during each election campaign, whether on central or local level, the ANC promises jobs, houses, electricity, etc. And the idiots still vote for them, vote for promises. And the youth believe them! What a joke!
• ·         In the townships the youth with qualifications a plenty, are struggling to get work. They burn and destroy in high hopes that it would give them jobs. They kill and burn those friends of them who have jobs! And what does the provincial and local government do? They tell them to go and seek partnerships with white businesses and companies who have the money and expertise to come and rebuilt the infrastructure they destroyed. And what does the white businesses and companies say? Forget it, the government does not honor their financial commitment for services delivered. But, come the next election, the idiots vote once again for the useless ANC counselors.

Think for yourselves - where are the youth of 1976 today? Nobody knows!

Enjoy your youth day, tomorrow you have to face the cold again to go and revolt against something!

On a lighter note: Check out the word 'corruption' in any dictionary - there is a photo of the government!

Sorry, But I am Black!

You must first go and read this article - Wits' black medical students feel out of place

At first you want to laugh your ass off because after more than 21 years of freedom, of democracy, the blacks still feel inferior. Then you want to cry, because it is a pity that after 21 years of being liberated that people who should be saving people’s lives, do not believe in themselves, do not believe that they are the future of this country!

I am white, but believe me, I will never go to a black doctor, even it will be the only doctor left in the world if that is the inferiority they show,  if that is a wannabe doctor’s level of self-esteem!

I think there is not much to say about this pathetic issue than to say: “You are black - either you live with it or you paint yourself white. But the latter is not an option, because they discriminate against whites. Ask yourself how many whites are in your medical class?”

Get a life please!

My Afrikaans, My Wondersoete Language, My mother Tongue!

Zuma or Malema or the ANC or everyone that wants to make Afrikaans disappear or trample on it or deny it, dream on. You will never succeed!

Before you, there were many efforts to let this beautiful language disappear without success.

Way back in the 19^th century the English tried to force English on the Afrikaner and they dismally failed – on the contrary, it made Afrikaans even stronger! With these famous words of CP Hoogenhout, the Afrikaner fought this Anglicization effort of the English oppressors:

“Engels! Engels! Alles Engels! Engels wat jy sien en hoor;

In ons skole, in ons kerke word ons moedertaal vermoor.”

Translation:  “English! English! Everything English! English what you see and hear;

In our schools, in our churches our mother tongue is murdered.”

(Casparus Petrus Hoogenhout (11 March 1843 - 13 January 1922) was an Afrikaans writer. He was a loyal supporter of the Afrikaans Language Movement and also co-founder of the Society for Real Afrikaners (direct translation of  the Genootskap van Regte Afrikaners) and although original from Holland, he started way back in 1873 to write in Afrikaans.)

Therefore, Zuma, Malema, ANC and anyone else who wants to make my mother tongue Afrikaans disappear or to trample on it, think again. My language survived many vicious onslaughts so it will also survive yours!

Afrikaans is my language, my mother tongue!!

Afrikaans my wondersoete taal!!!

Getting old?

Two old men were sitting in the yard outside the old people's home one day when Tim turned to the other and said "John I'm really feeling my age today I just hurt all over, how you are feeling?"

John replied "I feel just like a new born baby"

Tim looked at him startled "A new born baby, really?"

"Yep, I have no hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants."

Did South Africa Really Win the 1995 Rugby World Cup?

Who does not remember the euphoria that prevailed in South Africa just after the full-time whistle blew after Joel Stransky’s drop attempt was successful, giving South Africa the victory in its first Rugby World Cup? And this euphoria took possession of the entire South Africa for many days, even weeks after this historic win. 

Even I thought that yes, maybe we did have some real unity in this country of us, also the country of all the white South Africans.

But not long after the euphoria worn off and the ANC started showing its true colors and Mandela was side-lined, the so-called unity went down the drain.

Since then, the country went down the hill with Zuma in the driving seat. Although the decay was in all spheres, it was corruption and bribery that stood out and everything and anything in South Africa had (has) a price from a murder docket to vanish to a mere parking infringement to disappear for the right price.

And then came the recent 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup scandal and the entire ANC government is denying any involvement like nobody’s business - as usual!

That is why I wonder, did we really win the 1995 Rugby World Cup? Or was it bought?

I ask this based only on the following:

* The World Cup was the first major sporting event to take place in South Africa following the end of apartheid. It was also the first World Cup in which South Africa was allowed to compete; the International Rugby Football Board (IRFB, now World Rugby) had only readmitted South Africa to international rugby in 1992, following negotiations to end apartheid. The Rugby World Cup host nation is selected by the International Rugby Board (IRB) at a special meeting six years in advance of the tournament. The choice of host nation is a highly anticipated event. If South Africa was only readmitted to international rugby in 1992, how could we be awarded host nation if the host nation is selected six years in advance? This means that another country was awarded the host but had to stand down to make provision for South Africa? At what price?

* Taking into consideration that South Africa only re-entered the international rugby scene in 1992, the Springboks were struggling against England, Australia and New Zeeland prior to 1995 but when the World Cup came, suddenly we cruised past everyone to the final. Then the final, Suddenly the All Black camp suffered from a stomach bug, could not function well! Believe this and you would also believe that Zuma loves the whites! Remember, days, weeks in the build up to the World Cup it was suggested in the media around the world that should South Africa win the event, it would do wonders for reconciliation and unity!

* Ifthere are now allegations that there were bribes to secure the 2010 FIFA Soccer Cup to be hosted by South Africa, could this also not be true of the 1995 Rugby World Cup? And maybe, just maybe South Africa did not do more than enough to also ensure a win in 2010? But here people in charge realized that it would be too much to be asked to pathetic Bafana Bafana to win!

Just asking!!

Publication of the National Road Traffic Regulations for Comments

The Minister of Transport intends to amend the National Road Traffic Regulations, 2000, and acting in terms of section 75 (6) of the National Road Traffic Act, 1996 (Act No. 93 of 1996) published the proposed for comments. (REGULATIONS)

Here is my comments on this proposed amendments:

Input/comments on Publication of the National Road Traffic Regulations for Comments

Input/comments on proposed regulation 107D

Unfortunately the motivation/reasoning for this proposed regulation is not known, but my guess is that the current system of issuing driving licence cards are either a total flop as it does not ensure that persons tested for first time licences are equal to the task to drive a motor vehicle, or it is marred with bribery or forgery allowing people to drive vehicles without legally obtained licenses.

The reason for my guess is that why should a person who has his license for 20 or 30 years and never made an accident in these many years of driving now be punished to be re-examined every five years for his license? Or, is this just another money-making scheme to milk the public once again to fill the coffers of the local municipalities? Two months ago I had to pay R280.00 just for the new re-issued card. What will this ‘additional’ burden cost the public now?

The solution does not lay with punishing law-abiding citizens by over-regulating them because a person who did not obtain his license lawfully will use the same unlawful avenues to by-pass this over-regulating proposed regulation too – just think back to the gun-laws aiming to curb unlawful/unregistered fire-arms. What happened? It is still a gangsters’ paradise for illegal fire-arm bearers because I do not know of one armed robber who went or failed his fire-arm license test/examination or who handed in his illegal fire-arms!

Therefore, do not address the symptoms but address the cause of illegal drivers’ licenses or incompetent drivers by cleaning up/renovating the current system of testing drivers/issuing licenses.

Input/comments on the amended regulation 292

As with my input/comments on the proposed regulation 107D, the same principles are applicable here. Why in heavens name decrease the speed limit if drivers are not even adhering to the current speed limits. The Minister of Transport must please visit Nigel (Gauteng) for a week from Monday to Sunday to observe how people (not citizens with drivers’ licenses from 20 and more years on but youngsters with or without licenses as young as 14 years) who make a mockery of the speed limit in town and the road traffic rules and signs and terrorizing law-abiding citizens. And the reason? There is no road traffic law-enforcing in town! So, once again, do not treat the symptom, but address the cause by ensuring law-enforcement to the letter of the act! (And with law-enforcement I do not mean bribing traffic officers!) PS: unlawfulness regarding road traffic regulations or rules are not only endemic to Nigel but to every road or street in South Africa. The past weekend I went to Pretoria and back via the N17, N3 and N1. What a nightmare as drivers with the super-rich vehicles speed pass you at breathtaking speeds!

Thank you.

Old white men, a younger white woman and the state of black outrage’

Follow the link to the article of Ferial Haffajee, the editor of City Press which she wrote for News24. Old white men, a younger white woman and the state of black outrage’

This is typical of everyone blaming  Apartheid and the Whites for the everything that went wrong since the ANC took over in 1994, rather than addressing the problems and getting rid of the idiots who caused these problems and downfall of everything that was/is good.

Here is my friend Nigel's response to this article:

'Response to your article ‘Old white men, a younger white woman and the state of black outrage’ on News24.com - 15 May 2015

Let me start with Sparks and Verwoerd. Sparks is quite correct - Verwoerd was clever, very clever, he was a genius! But let us look beyond the Apartheid issue. Remember the NP took over from the British/English orientated United Party in 1948 and from there it was just one-way forward! With Verwoerd at the helm of the NP Government the railroad infrastructure of the country was overhauled and upgraded which was equal to the best in the world; the provision of water supplies to every corner of the country were established which even reached blacks (Wow! Can you believe this!); EVKOM (Oops! You will better know it as ESKOM) was established taking electricity to every corner of the country (Wow! Even blacks benefitted from it!); then he tackled the public service and transformed it into a mean machine that was one of the best in the world; he established an education system that was the envy of the world, etc., etc.

That was Verwoerd and the NP. Then came Mandela and the ANC - from day one they took over it was just one way backward, down the drain. Everything was destroyed in the space of 20 years! - in Afrikaans there is the nice saying: hulle het die land deur hulle gatte getrek! It is now 50 and more years ago that Kenia, the Belgian Congo, etc, gained independence from the so-called “European oppressors” and where are they now? Down the drain! Last year with the election in Kenia the government called upon Obama as he had roots  Kenia to assist Kenia to address the chaos the country was in. What a joke!

Like Zuma and the ANC is carrying on now, it won’t take another 30 years before South Africa is where the rest of Africa is - it seems they put this destruction vehicle in overdrive! Think for yourself, was it not for the white man in Africa, Africa would just have been one big rubbish dump! (Please, send me a copy of your book What if there were no whites?)

Then poor old Zelda. Ag, please! Is that such an issue? This is typical symptomatic of the inferior or paranoia complex the previous disadvantage persons have! Get a life, it is now what, 21 years since ‘independence’ and you still look back, still feel aggrieved, still despising the whites? This is why good old South Africa is down the drain! The bad news for you is that I am here to stay. And as long as the ANC or any government is messing up this beautiful country I will criticise them, and I will compare it with what this country had to offer before Mandela and the ANC start breaking it down.

In conclusion, the state of black outrage. Ag, shame. All I can say is get a life and start building up what you have destroyed! You future is not in the hands of the whites - it is in your own hands!

Thank you.

Nigel Olifaunt'

I just love it!
