  • The United Nations will not protect them because they are aligned with the goal of chasing off as per their long held Malthusian population reduction dialectic. What is happening there is the GOAL in order to precipitate a famine. Folks must get streetwise as to what is going on & realize that the global fascists at the United Nations & elsewhere are not going to step in to stop a problem the helped to create in the first place to usher in global government.

  • where is the west? the UN? to protect the whites? they now let the anc run wild and ruin the nation. the blacks anc are trying to destroy all the boer heritage and history by naming all towns, streets, parks from boer names to black names. boers built that nation, zulu never invented any gold mines, nor railways, these negros will ruin the country. boers had a right to that land, it is their land, God gave that land to them. SA will become another zimbabwe one day. boers need their home.

  • afrikaaner boers the originals own that land, that nation is theirs and their descendants .

  • I agree: Pretoria is Pretoria. Tswane is based on nothing but fiction.

  • Dis Pretoria en NIE tswane nie! Demmit!

  • The Boers have historically been separate from the Cape Afrikaners & had opposing outlooks. The Boers wanted their independence while the Afrikaners were happy with the colonial powers. There was only ever a superficial political merger between the two during the 20th cent as it was direct by the Cape Afrikaners who wanted to negate Boers secession (which was attempted in 1914) & to "legitimize" the hegemony on the region.

  • This is a useless "appeal to authority" which hold no currency with me whatsoever as I know what I am talking about in this regard. The only reason the Boers have tended not to feel as separate from the Afrikaners in the 20th cent was entirely due to the Cape based Afrikaners propaganda which aimed at co-opting the Boers for political purposes.

  • The dialect of the Boers had / has numerous different words particularly of Malay / Khoi & English origin - but as the article I quoted to pointed out- the Cape Afrikaners attempted to remove them form the standardized form. It is ridiculous to suggest that being educated in Afrikaans would "disadvantage" future generations when in fact the imposing of English is aimed at disadvantaging everyone by empowering an English elite who confiscate the resources of the region.

  • Well it looks like you are defending the inexcusable position of marginalizing the Afrikaans language for nothing more than for the artificial British created macro-state to be able to "compete globally" re: in order to better steal its resources. There is nothing commendable about this since English is only being promoted to better facilitate the continued plundering of the region.

  • Continued quote: " They removed black and Malay as well as English influences; for example, many southern Nguni words, which had entered the dialect in the Eastern Cape (re: the Boer dialect), were replaced by Dutch words in the new dictionaries devised by teachers and academics, to reinforce the idea that Afrikaans was respectable and 'white'."
