This is the second part of an interview conducted by the shortwave / internet radio program: The Right Perspective that they did with Theuns Cloete of Boervolk Radio on Jan 6 2007 on the 150th anniversary of the Transvaal Vierkleur flag: one of the most recognizable symbols of the Boerevolk. The Orange Free State Vierkleur flag would also become 150 on Feb 23 2007. The interview was an hour long with no breaks & will be posted here in 9 parts.
The history of the Boers is often told from a Western / British or Afrikaner point of view & thus often from a skewed perspective. This interview is refreshing & important as the Boers' history is explained & told from a Boer perspective.
The facts concerning the Boers are often obscured as the Boers have been overshadowed for the past 100 years most notably by the Afrikaner Nationalists: the Cape based political heirs to the artificial macro state of South Africa created by the British & imposed onto the region.
The Boers trekked from the Cape Afrikaners & the western Cape beginning in the late 1600s & throughout the 1700 when they were nomadic migrating farmers known as the Trekboers occupying the northern & eastern Cape frontier where some later settled down & were known as Grensboere or Border Farmers. A large number of their descendents became known as the Voortrekkers who left the eastern Cape en mass -mainly due to British Colonialism- to trek into the largely uninhabited (due to the Difaqane) interior were they would establish numerous Boer Republics of which the Transvaal Republic (also known as the South African Republic which was composed of the former Potchefstroom Republic / Lydenburg Republic / Rustenburg Republic / Utrecht Republic & the Zoutpansberg Republic) & the Orange Free State (the northern part of which was the former Winburg Republic) were recognized by other governments around the world.
The Sand River Convention signed on Jan 17 1852 between the British & the Transvaal Boers recognized the independence of the Boers north of the Vaal River. This lead to the independence of Boer Republics north of the Vaal River which would coalesce into the South African Republic on Jan 6 1857.
The Orange River Convention signed on Feb 17 1854 between the British & the Transorangia Boers recognized the independence of the Boers north of the Orange River up to the Vaal River. This lead to the independence of the Orange Free State on Feb 23 1854.
The Boer Republics were conquered on May 31 1902 by the British at the conclusion of the the second Anglo-Boer War after 27 000 Boer civilians died in the British run concentration camps. This represented the death of close to 50 % of the total Boer child population of the republics & is one of the main reasons how they were able to be overshadowed for the next 100 years by other forces ascending to power in the region.

Info..Boers have so much appeal, so much potential support in White Europe and America...if YOU ONLY USE YOUR HEADS. Stop anything that even looks like Naziism..STRENGTHEN your IDENTITY with White People on the basis of European Identity. Say..to all whites..we are all under seige..if Boers are lost..YOU will be lost too..

I am telling you there is a growing white identity movement in the USA. This is an identification with white European Western Civilization as opposed to Third World Multiculturalism and socialism. If the Boers reach out to
Europe reach out to White America and say..Look. AT US...This is what you Americans will face once Whites are in a minority..then HUGE numbers of white Americans will come to your aid with money, industrial contracts, and support for your bid for independence

ehunter2 you are right. The Boers must learn to have a PR which can be carried into the houses of Europe & US, combat fatigued AWB characters are going to go through the satrical press & end up on the Daily show rather than Charles Rose. The Boers need to show that they want a constitutional republic on either the EU or US model, their PRelations must stress how they moved away from the cape coast to avoid British domination & now they are protecting themselves from Farm Murders, by independence

You hit the nail right on the head Lacostenp1, the only way to get the European world sorted is to have two European centric superpowers, now the European Union on the Social Democratic model is the largest economy on earth at 18.6 trillion pounds per year but US have a powerful military & big European component but has an Israel & pacific centric policy (you can judge the reason for this).
What the Boers need is to copy the EU's model if they have their own Central bank they have independence.

To whiteworld1488, if you look at the most successful European nations are all on the social democratic model which started in Scandinavia & then became adopted by the whole European Union. Now in the cold war Social Democrats in Europe & US libertarians/ republicans had common cause against Soviet expansion.
What we are facing in South Africa now is ANC feudalistic primitivism & in the US & Middle east neo-feudalism in the form of Conservativism, Zionism & AlQueada are all strains of feudalism

The Afrikaners have been selling out the Boers for a long time. Long live the Boers!

Bingo...white European culture is being lost..forever. The culture that gave the world everything. White Britons, Europeans, Americans
had better WAKE UP. "Multiculturalism" is the
most insidious form of brainwashing we have ever faced..its nothing but a power takeover
by the Third World. All taking place under the guise of "fairness"

This guy is LOST.. his entire race is about to be lost under a tidal wave of black savages
and he wants to fight the Anglo-Boer War of 1900 again. How stupid can you get? Whites need
to WAKE UP...we are now only 9% of the worlds
population

I have a lot of respect for the Boer struggle.But the reality is Whites in Southern Africa are the minority and face extermination.The Boer war is over! all Whites have to unify and get over this divisive sectarianism if they want to survive.WHITE UNITY-WORLDWIDE

I don't think characterising Boers as the scum of the Earth was a very nice thing to do but they have acquired (or been labelled with) an image as a primative and uncultured nation. Plus they didn't have uniforms or proper military ranks during the Second Boer War so they could easily have been viewed as a bit savage.
