When should we "Whities" need to start worrying?

About nine years ago I had a speed lunch with my brother at the Cape Town Waterfront. Now, for those who do not know my brother, God forgot to give him an off button. My plane was leaving back to Joburg at four so whatever we had to drink and say we did it at speed.
We rushed to Cape Town airport and as I got out of his car I heard my name being called over the intercom warning me to board immediately. Suddenly I felt the last two whiskies starting to land. I was still laughing at what my brother had told me at lunch, he is a very funny person. Now, I ran faster through the boarding gate towards the plane when I realised there was a problem. The last of the first class passengers was walking up the stairs to board the plane and one very large lady wearing a golden bling dress was being pushed up the stairs.
I hung onto the railings to catch my breath and burst out laughing. She must have thought that I was laughing at her and she too packed out laughing. The little white koffie moffie (they used to work for SAA back then) also packed up while he was pushing her with his shoulder from behind.
Finally we were seated next to each other and I was also upgraded to first class. Now things had changed in first class. A year before, SAA first class would have been full of little white men with dark suits and small matching hats, that day it was full of big black dudes with Armani suits.
I have always been nervous about taking off since I landed a plane in the mielies when I did my first solo while learning to fly. That is another story. As the SAA Boeing gathered speed down the runway I asked my brand new black lady friend if I could hold her hand because I was scared and that my wife and I always hold hands when the plane takes off. She packed up laughing again and took my hand.
At altitude the Koffie moffie brought us more whiskies. By the time we were over Bloem we did not need a plane to fly as we had wings. She had already poured her heart out to me about her husband who had been offered a post as the South African ambassador in New York which meant that she would have to give up her office four doors away from Madiba's office at the Union Buildings. Lucky for her I have no idea who she was or where she is today, but what was said in first class stays in first class, except I will tell you one thing she told me.
I asked her, When do us Whities have to start to worrying because I wanted to stock up with fresh tins of baked beans (like we need baked beans when we
stressed)
She said. "BEWARE OF THE DAY WHEN THE ANC STARTS FIGHTING AMOUNGST THEMSELVES.THAT WILL BE THE DAY THAT THEY WILL TRY AND REUNITE THEM BY BEING HORRIBLE TO THE WHITES"
Since that day I have watched the ANC with interest. Us Whities have all of a sudden been placed in the firing line again.
I do not think Malema knows what he is saying and some days he says things way above his intellect. I think he is being coached by Shaka Zuma.

For many thousands of years a well established sequence of events and prerequisites to dictatorship have taken place. There is no secret to this, it just is not taught in schools or made public. Which is a great pity but government controls the schools.
State control and interference in every established organisation and operation that could provide opposition or encouragement of opposition to the public. To crush and shackle them to government for licences, permissions and rules which can be used to control them.
Dependence of the people on the state to provide work, food, health care, money, housing, safety, education, direction or anything that will create a dependence.
Disarmament of the public is the final phase.
Read the newspapers and listen to what Presidents and Ministers say. They reveal these plans because the public has to accept these plans. If you believe the propaganda of how well off we will be if government implements such a plan then think again.of what government is planning instead. It is not the well-being of citizens but the path to dictatorship.

Zimbabwe's white population doubled after the "liberation" of Africa started (starting with the Belgians) to the grand total of 200,000. The black population was 5 million - to 12 million by 1999.
Now they have got rid of 3-5 million (and who knows how many dead)

Instead of Belgiums coming here to teach us something or other that we can do ourselves thank you ( like the Germans taught us THEIR environmental control - which is a disaster in SA), let them go to the Congo, which needs much more help, and fix the mess that they started.
Much more romantic to drool over SA ( and much more fun in a DEVELOPED country - the largest in Africa by the 19th century thank you - without any help from either Germans or Belgians).

And all those tarred roads only led to the mineral areas and ports.
Everywhere else the people walked on paths. There was no TV, very little radio cover, no commercial farms, few hospitals and fewer schools, and only boys got educated and only to age 12.
There were less than a dozen graduates in the whole vast country with many different tribes with different languages.
They were TOTALLY unprepared to govern themselves!
It was madness and negligence to dump them into trouble like that - for a western "noble savage" ideal of "one man one vote democracy' with people who did not even speak the same language!

Its interesting to note that Mandela was imprisoned for attempting to place a bomb in the Houses of Parliament. He was not imprisoned for being a member of a banned organisation, as the ANC and the press would have us believe! Lets please all get our facts right.
Now, there are more unthinking, stupid, indigent and poor people in South Africa than there are thinking, intelligent and self supporting people. The former however is the ANC's voter base. hence they are goijg to stay in power for an awfully long time.
It is not in the ANC's interests to clamp down on crime because that would mean they are clamping down on their own voter base - not good for winning elkections. So all the rhetoric about wining the war against crime is just that - rhetoric!
I believe that we are living in South Africa's end days. The worlds economists give us 10 years to become worse than what Zimbabwe is. Within 5 years there will be a total ban on taking money and assets out oif the country. So I'm leaving. I've had enough of living behind bars, looking over my shoulder and being escorted home by a security guard. I didn't fight for this, I didn't build this and I dont want this.
There are places that welcome white people with open arms. I'm going there.
Oh and please dont tell me that I did this through apartheid. I did nothing but foillow orders. I did not design apartheid and I never abused a black person. I buitl a country.
Just think on this. When the Belgians left the Congo, there were around 300000km of well tarred roads. 10 years later there were 10000km, when Cabila took over there were 1000km and today there are 10km of well tarred roads. We are fighting a losing battle and I'm not going to be a part of it any longer.
I wish you luck

The Russians are no threat, now that the Cold War is over. They have enough land and enough minerals. And they are virulent racists. Blacks in Moskow are afraid to take public transport, or go out at night, in case they get beaten up. I suspect that Mbeki found that out when he was training in Moskow, and that made him become a bit peculiar. The Russians were scathing about the ANC to the SADF generals at the Angolan peace talks.
No, what De Klerk did not realise is that the ANC had become pro-Islamic, anti-Israel, Pan-Africanist. So much so that Mandela's and Winnie's daughter Zinzi's first child was called Gadaffi.

On the question of De Klerk (De Clerq?), not much focus has been placed on him since his treacherous handover of the country to the reds.
I have this hunch which I cannot seem to shake that he might have been part of the Soviet initiative to grasp control in SA. Place a mole in government and then engineer a take-over of government and eventual handing over to the ANC, also controlled by the commies. No, no proof. I might be wrong but given my hunch in the past that the ANC was communist backed, which has now been proven to be the truth, I might also be right.

De Klerk correctly assessed that communism was dead - BUT Mandela was not a communist firstly (Govan Mbeki and Harry Gwala were the communists), Mandela and Thabo Mbeki were firstly Pan-Africanist (i.e. pro Islamic North). That speech of Mandela's from the dock about a non-racist society was playing to the gallery. It was Mandela who insisted whites not be allowed to join the ANC (which was originally non-racist). As was the "willing to die" part - pure theatre. He knew since there had been no-one killed, only buildings blown up, the chance of the death penalty was remote.

Politicians are in it for themselves only and stuff the electorate, they are just plain chops who are so far removed from the needs of the country it's just not even funny anymore. Were you in the townships during this violence? Did you actually see what was happening? There are two sides to every story, actually there are three, the third one being the truth. I saw it all I was there I did not fight for a political party or an ideology but for my country. Bad things happened to good people while bad people were trying to make a point on both sides. What side was correct? If you were fighting for the country pre 1994 years then you were brought up to believe that their system was the one to follow. If you fighting for the liberation movements then you were brought up to believe they were the correct system to follow. Now that we are 16 plus years into this current system, ask yourself. Who was actually correct and has SA benefited from this??? WTF

The only third force was the ANC’s Operation Vula which escalated after the elections so Winnie’s thugs could necklace any opposition to the ANC (PAC and IFP).
The ANC was trained in Vietnam that to kill your own and blame it on the other side (IFP) was acceptable in a “people’s War.
They were also trained to blame the violence of their own Third Force (Operation Vula) on a Third Force of the opposition (De Klerk).
The Boipatong massacre was likely to have been such an ANC Third Force False Flag action.
You don’t have to believe me. All the details are in the book “People’s War: New light on the struggle for South Africa” by Anthea Jeffery
When we asked our staff (all of whom we brought to live in our offices or homes while the violence was on with Winnie's matches and necklaces) what was going on in the townships, they said that the violence was being caused by criminals. I don't know if they meant that the ANC were criminals, or that they were using criminals.
And that bitter and twisted nanny was an activist who broke the Biko story, and who has managed to take a province off the ANC, which no-one else has done.

Eagle,
Nice one on your bitter comment to me. Get in touch with what's going down
The ANC have their work cut out for themselves, now especially to make sure that the president does not become more of a liabilty to them. So the comment join them will not work here.
The IFP were the previous governments hit squads that fuelled the 3rd force in the late 80's and early 90's. You don't want to be part of them because of that tainted past.
COPE, damit they are one big joke going nowhere very fast losing support even faster and just a bunch of disgruntled ANC wannabe drop outs.
The ID this is one very courageos loud mouth leader with no major support at all.
The DA what a waste of talent here, their leader is a bitter and twisted ransid old nanny and white which will not get any substantial votes from the black electorate.
Without sounding "defeatist" you can't beat a politician they have the gift of the gab to get the votes and once they have the mandate they do nothing until they have to use the gift in 4.5 years time again. I say stuff them, they are all liars.

Lyndall,
You’re right. And what about Zuma’s promises of job creation? The only thing that he is proving is that crippling poverty is caused by rampant breeding and a total lack of birth control, not "Apartheid".
What’s happened to Mntungwa? It would be interesting to debate this point with him. Once one gets past the barrage of racial slurs and insults of course.
Greg
Thank you for you defeatist observations. History is littered with seemingly impossible situations turned into victory. I do however, agree that the politically immature voting masses will continue to vote race and tribalism for a long time yet.
For those that want a better life the gateway initially might be through a breakaway party like COPE or Inkatha. Under the ANC post 1994 there were plenty of white faces, go Google.

Hi Lyndall
We should be married, you never understand me properly.
Actually I am joking, we seem to meet in the middle a lot whereas I cover the right and you swing somewhat from left to right. Lol.
My posting on another blog, below, supports most of what you are saying
“Quite honestly the ones making the most sense at the moment are some of my black friends. There is a strong groundswell of black intellectuals who know what is going on, who sees through the corruption, who are violently anti-communist and who want prosperity and freedom. People who want to do it for themselves. They are the ones who will probably play a major part in the future of this country.”
The question at the moment of course is two fold; is the emergence of a savvy black middle class too little too late and; who will gain the upper hand in the leftist power struggle raging within the Alliance right now. If the commies win all the above is out the window, if our economic policy remains as is I think it will take at least 2 more terms before voting will swing away from the Alliance sufficiently for someone to jam a stick in the cleft.

ai think that the ANC is deeply embarrassed that they can't control the rioting. Julius Malema's thuggery disguises that, which it is meant to. Our local blacks tell us they vote for the ANC because they intimidated to, not becuase they respect them. They genuinely think the ANC will know who they voted for. They think the ANC are criminals and thieves.
It is probably very different in the cities or in the homelands.

Actually I don't agree with you. From both the comments on blogs, and the callers to SAFM there is a much less racist tone. Definately the government tries to keep the fires stoked - after all what else does the Alliance have as policy? But it no longer holds so well with the Middle Class.
With the masses, who really matter, they hold the ANC responsible. They have been governing for 16 years and the people know it. And they can see for themselves that there is masses of money somewhere from how the elite is spending. The most common myth fed them is "the whites still control the economy" to which their response is likely to be then what have you done about it? Fancy BEE, empowerment and other slogans no longer wash.
It is not the homes of whites being torched but the homes of ANC councillors.

Good piece Andre.
Well I remember your earlier writings. The classic politically correct liberal picture of the poor misunderstood noble savage walking in the fields, angelic smile on his face, beautiful butterflies and lovebirds circling his head and the Boer with his “Boerboel en haelgeweer” mowing them down in the streets and off course the wise great white Bwana Liberal in his pith helmet complete with halo rescuing them from all dangers even themselves.
Welcome to reality.
In truth we do love our indigenous but it is time for a reality check. It is time that whitey starts understanding that he is facing a communist-backed ruling-party-driven 3 rd force hell-bent on driving him into the sea by whatever means, AA, BEE, land claims, false as many of them might be, minority bashing, anti-white racist legislation, communism, etc. etc.
Well I remember your earlier writings. The classic politically correct liberal picture of the poor misunderstood noble savage walking in the fields, angelic smile on his face, beautiful butterflies and lovebirds circling his head and the Boer with his “Boerboel en haelgeweer” mowing them down in the streets and off course the wise great white Bwana Liberal in his pith helmet complete with halo rescuing them from all dangers even themselves.
