"Hoor, hoor [Hear, hear]!" shouted the square-jawed Afrikaner farmers and their dutiful wives, as one speaker after another referred to the guest of honor as "a gladiator," "a saint" and "a savior." Dour and unsmiling, he sat stolidly, barely nodding his acknowledgment of the eulogies. When at last he took the platform, surrounded by the orange, white and blue posters of the National Party, which has ruled South Africa for 29 years, Balthazar Johannes Vorster, 61, could almost have been stepping to a throne.
After the wild applause there was sudden silence: a pause of anticipation, and die volk were not disappointed. Within a minute the Prime Minister had gained the first murmurs of acclaim; within five minutes he had brought the crowd to its feet. When he wanted to drive home a point, it was not a jab but a double uppercut as he thrust both fists in the air. And when he wanted the world to listen—as he did last week—John Vorster switched from Afrikaans to deliberate and slightly accented English.
"There are those in the world outside," he thundered in this speech to his constituents in the Transvaal town of Heidelberg, "who believe they can bring South Africa to its knees [long pause] with a mandatory arms boycott [pause]. I tell them [long pause]they have another guess coming." The audience went wild. A National Party worker, standing 6 ft. 6 in. in his bush boots, pounded the shoulder of the spectator next to him. "Man," he shouted, "this is the man! This is the Churchill of the platteland!"
The audience was composed almost exclusively of members of the worried, defiant, 2.6 million-strong "white tribe" of Africa, whose Dutch forefathers first landed in Cape Town in 1652.

And now their prosperous country has been turned into a Third World Hell Hole.
Leave it to African communists to shake down progress and screw it up. South Africa? Soon to be another Zimbabwe.
How about coughing up demographic data for rapes, muggings and murders since the takeover?
They would probably be similar to those in the United States.
But not the last.
EVERY cause the liberals get involved in results in ruination
Interesting how drastically the utterly ruinous tide of black immigration into the Dutch lands began after the sucessful british aggression. The German message of support to the Boer President, the Kruger telegram was even more damaging to Germany than was the later Zimmerman telegram.
Hah - there were as many Blacks as Boers in South Africa and then as SA became prosperous, it blacks came rushing in to overwhelm the white population.
That sounds like what happened to Detroit.
>> Q: How about coughing up demographic data for rapes, muggings and murders since the takeover?
A: They would probably be similar to those in the United States.
Well, maybe in Detroit. A dear friend - a South African lawyer now living in London - still has family there - the stories are awful!
The remaining five million Afrikaners need to relocate ASAP, preferably to America or Australia. Sure, they won't be wealthy in their new country but at least they'll be secure in their safety.
True, that is a good caveat; maybe in Detroit, or Camden or Chicago. I believe that if immigration were made possible for white Africans into the US the vast majority would arrive and vote Republican. There was an individual who tried doing this though and sadly he was shut down under the Bush administration.
