This is the last laager (encampment) for the Afrikaners within their traditional homeland. I doubt the ANC will tolerate its existence for too much longer.

Bump!

Bump!

They had better welcome every white face that wants to join them. They're going to need all the help they can get when the worm turns on them. And turn it will.

You're right. Those who stay will die. Frankly, I'm surprised they haven't all been slaughtered yet.

How many whites are there in South Africa? How about the other minorities?

[MadIvan]

The last time I checked I think there were only 3 million whites in South Africa.

And, on the same day, Zimbabwe reports that half of their population is in danger of starvation, when very recently they were the larget food exporter in southern Africa.

Time for 'Rule # .303!'

Great Movie!

It does forget to mention that the Dum-Dum bullets the Boers had came from the British armory in Dum-Dum, India. Wonder how they got to south Africa? British troops perhaps?

I remember that in the book The Third World War by General Sir John Hackett he predicted that South Africa would collapse into independant states. The Soviet Union in the book coerced the Black populations of Southern Africa to form an alliance and declare war on the Afrikaner states. The Afrikaner's, with US and Japanese aid, were victorious. Even the book is from 1979, and a lot of it's predictions never came true, maybe this one will in the future (No Soviet aid, of course)..........

I always thought it was interesting how attractive that flag is considering it is simply a composite of three.

I am pretty surprised that there hasn't already been a guerilla war against the Commies. I guess one reason is if they won, then the whole world would make war against them.

Another man agreed. "I don't think [the Afrikaaners] should have their own land. In South Africa today we are all trying to live together, and that's very important to us."

A glimpse of the future for Orania...

"Living together" will require the destruction of Afrikaaners.

The Boers used 7mm Mausers. The British used something else (I'm not sure if it was .303 or not). Would the Britsh make dum-dums for a 7mm?
