Oh most of the 49 Afrikaners WERE threatened, beaten, robbed,and all saw other family members murdered and THAT is WHY they are the very FIRST ones to come here.
And their descendants have far MORE right to call themselves "natives of RSA", than most blacks and coloreds there today!
Which the BRITS instituted....NOT the Afrikaners!
They get robbed/raped/beaten and MURDERED!
Mixed race South Africans are called "colored" and the blacks HATE them too!
The Afrikaners came with their OWN white women and children! The ONLY intermarriage was then, if it happened, between the French Huguenots who had been living in the Netherlands and maybe the Dutch. THAT'S IT!
Much later on, their have been some Afrikaners marrying Brit descendants.
Thank YOU for knowing and posting the FACTS!
Thanks guys, for posting FACTS!
But you left out potable water, which they do NOT have any of now, only partly due to the droughts, but because they got rid of ALL of the whites!
Exactly so and it’s down because MANY has managed to get out of there, decades ago; some longer than that, even.
And thanks for posting FACTS! I'm getting pretty damned tired of constantly posting the same history lessons, over and over, and OVER again, here, re RSA.
Thanks; they can still focus efforts on areas for tourists and their 1%ers, but eventually that will shut down as well.
It's hard to believe now, but in his early years in power, the late Robert Mugabe mostly left the white farmers in Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia), because, like Mandela, he was intelligent enough not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. Mugabe's main focus while in power (other than large-scale graft) was to settle scores with enemies from other tribes.
When his mismanagement of the country created enough public unrest that his rule was in jeopardy, Mugabe realized that he needed both a scapegoat and at least a short-term way of buying the loyalty of his people, so he adopted a campaign of terrorizing and displacing white farmers and handing their land over to his loyalists, who of course ran the farms into the ground within months.
The same scenario is gradually playing out in South Africa.
Foolishly, because Thabo Mbeki was extremely well educated, sort of sounded reasonable, many foolishly assumed that he would be okay. NOPE, he was worse and with each succeeding president, it grew worse and worse and WORSE!
Pretty much except 4.5 million whites in SA
not a pretty future for them
Or us if we don’t get a grip
