De la Rey Song - with English subtitles

The controversial song by Bok van Blerk about the Anglo-Boer War that caused an outcry of indignation in South Africa.

As the British tried to do a hundred years ago, the black majority government is now trying to suppress the Afrikaner nation's culture - and in fact all traces of their history.

Public funding is being withdrawn from Afrikaner monuments, even though Afrikaners contribute more than their share to tax income. Millions are being spent on changing the names of towns, streets etc. while little is done to maintain infrastructure.

The new generation of Afrikaners had nothing to do with Apartheid, yet they are faced with a bleak future, suffering under racial discrimination in the form of affirmative action.

Although this excludes them from jobs and promotion beyond a certain level, it also stimulates entrepreneurship and innovative thinking.

The Afrikaner nation will rise again to take its place in the country their forefathers helped to build and develop.

Whatever side you may be on, Koos de la Rey was a wise man and a brave warrior who fully deserves this tribute to him and the bittereinders who followed him. I am a Celt. I am not an Anglophobe, but imperial arrogance has, sadly outweighed the many British virtues. The "We know we are right, whoever's country we are in" attitude has sost the English many friendships. The well-meaning but equally arrogant americans are the same.

@eliamazon I MADE THIS ACCOUNT JUST FOR YOU, MORON. The boers did not displace the fucking zulu. What kind of fucktarded history class are you in anyway. The british were the only ones who attacked the zulu, the boers killed the zulu king dingane because he tried to wipe them out- GENOCIDE THEM- because they were passing through his land with his permission. The boer have only ever EVER tried to have a country free of being oppressed by others, and racist little shits like you ruin it

I am from South Africa....sad thing is, what about the SA troops in the Delville-Bush engagement, what about JSmuts`s contributions to your Empire...my grandmom was born and Christened in Knapsshill UK, but the violations the Brits caused us, calls for a tribunal...Mighty proud of you, you English to have conquered and murdered 26,000 women and children....had this War have been 43-yrs later, you would have been hanged,,it is odd how humanity always crowns the victors...how proud you must be.

My Modern World History Class viewed this and we established this song as the offical anthem of our classroom.

How astonishing... People revolting in defiance against British oppressionism, history seems to duplicated itself.
