South Africa – A modern day 'Zimbardo Experiment'
Mike Smith - 4/9/2008
In 1971, Dr. Phillip Zimbardo of the Stanford University, conducted his infamous and controversial “Prison Experiment”. Most scholars of Psychology agree that to replicate this experiment today will be impossible, because of human rights. The world will simply not allow this to happen.

Jacob Zuma and the Afrikaners
Johann Wingard - 4/5/2008
I was probably not the only person who was sickened by Mike Smith's article entitled, "On trapping birds and kicking dogs". Smith wants Afrikaners to come out and fight for their own homeland rather than trying to make a living in an African state. He shows all the signs of the classical denialist. He cannot accept the fact that we live in Africa.

The Collapse of South Africa
Jan Lamprecht - 2/13/2008
When the Western world, with the connivance of then-President FW de Klerk and his National Party, finally forced the white government to surrender to the ANC, a massive chain-reaction was set in place: the steadily eroding reputation of South Africa as a once-stable country in a violent Africa. Despite all the problems that came with an apartheid government, South Africa was still relatively calm and peaceful. Now, it has erupted into chaos.

How To Beat Global Apartheid
Albert Brenner - 2/12/2008
Imagine a place where the colour of your skin will be the main reason why you would be refused permission to move from A to B. Further imagine a place where those at point B have spent billions in trying to keep you at point A. They've erected spiked walls, thousands of miles of barbed-wire fences and patrol their borders 24/7 just to make absolutely sure that you cannot enter their domain, not even in the dead of the night. That they don't want you there is heart-rendingly evident every time you see another group of your brothers turned away or another shanty town being erected on the borders...

Labor Negotiations with the ANC
Mike Smith - 12/27/2007
In a recent article (http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=6&art_id=nw20071223125941883C707494), the boys from Solidarity, Flip Buys, Dirk Herman, Kallie Kriel and other predominantly-white unions claimed to believe that they can bargain with the ANC. But to bargain successfully or even negotiate, you have to have some kind of leverage. You must have either money, numbers of people or superior weaponry. Why would Jacob Zuma and the ANC even listen to Solidarity??

On trapping birds and kicking dogs
Mike Smith - 12/23/2007
When one traps pheasants, one has to bait them with feed until they are under the trap. Once there, one yanks out the stick and the trap falls over the birds. Then their heads are cut off. Further, they are plucked, roasted and eaten.

South Africa: It Was Just Time For Change
Mike Smith - 12/21/2007
On South African television the interviewer asks a black man, "So whom do you want to win the ANC leadership election and why?"

South Africa - Civil War or Peaceful Split?
Mike Smith - 12/14/2007
Watching the current power struggle within the ANC, it is clear that the party can no longer exist in its current form after the Polokwane conference or in the run-up to the 2009 elections. A split is inevitable. This will be no peaceful divorce. The split will be messy and we will see similar scenes as that of the early ‘90s; Xhosas against Zulus, Communism against Tribal Nationalism, basically one big orgy of violence and death.

Big Brother Africa: Debasing Self For A Fee
Ugochukwu Ejinkeonye - 12/10/2007
Recently, Big Brother Africa (BBA2) Reality Show ended in South Africa amidst much din, slimy scandals and lingering controversies, and the only coherent statement it was able to make was that in this our very unfortunate and bankrupt age, money has acquired an even greater and awesome powers, and its capacity to compel otherwise rational human beings to gleefully part ways with every bit of their honour and dignity, be disdainful all considerations for decency and self-esteem, and enthusiastically indulge in several nauseating, self-debasing acts, has exceeded what anyone had thought was possible in decent society.

The Liberal Women Of South Africa
Mike Smith - 12/7/2007
You all know her. The Liberal White Bitch that, despite her obvious lack of political knowledge, thinks Mandela is a saint and Oprah Winfrey is the best thing since Mother Teresa. Spot her in the supermarket with her designer clothes and oversized sunglasses on her hair; the re-growth from her last attempt at going blond starting to show just above the line of her fake orange tan, but she thinks us men do not notice. The one who gets her queues from magazines like Cosmo, Femina and…heaven forbid Rooi Rose. Yes, Rooi Rose and Sarie as well because there are many of these liberal white Afrikaner...

Is South Africa Attempting To Overthrow Swazi Government?
Jan Lamprecht - 11/20/2007
Swaziland is a small country which borders on South Africa. It is ruled by a black King. As often happens in Africa, he is far from perfect. And yet, he might in fact be the only remaining monarch on the African continent who truly rules his own tribe. I tend to have a soft spot for the black chiefs because sometimes I think they do better for their own people than this “liberation” bunch, who are just lying scum that use their power to ruin the countries they run.

Presidential Pardons In South Africa
Mike Smith - 11/17/2007
The issue of Presidential Pardons for politically motivated offenses is currently in the news in South Africa. Every year, just before Thanksgiving (the fourth Thursday in November), the president of the USA pardons a Turkey in a ceremony at the White House. This demonstrates his power of Executive Clemency or Presidential Pardon.

Is the South African Constitution Being Sidelined?
Duncan Du Bois - 11/13/2007
Consternation rages at events concerning the firing of the national director of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the controversy surrounding the National Police Commissioner and the decision of the Judicial Services Commission (JSC) concerning Judge John Hlophe. Despite clear constitutional guidelines on the ethics expected of all concerned, the agenda of transformation, it would seem, enjoys priority.

South Africa: Appetite For Influence Has Not Changed
Duncan Du Bois - 11/9/2007
Freedom of the press and the independence of the judiciary are constitutional provisions the ruling party and its associates claim to support. Yet through the insidious process of political correctness those principles are being eroded. In February 1982 the Steyn Commission of Inquiry into the media expressed the view that ' much diversity had already disappeared from the South African media scene' because of the degree of corporate control over the press. The Commission warned that the information industry was threatened by Leviathan because of the powerful and predatory position of the Argus...

Criminal Conditioning in South Africa
Mike Smith - 11/7/2007
The leading expert on the subject of Killology today is Lt-Col. Dave Grossman. Grossmann found that there were many books written on (and research done into) the psychology of man’s creative spirit, namely sex or “Sexology”, but very little research existed about the psychology of man’s darker side, that of killing a fellow human being. Lt-Col Grossmann is the author of several books and a well-respected lecturer and adviser on the subject of “Killology”. In his book “On Killing – The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society”, Lt-Col. Grossman explores this darker side of man ...

Was Apartheid Really The Most Evil Regime In The World?
Albert Brenner - 10/8/2007
How does one measure evil? Is there such a thing as a universal 'index' according to which deeds of evil can be judged? If we, for example, take the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as the final arbiter of what is evil and what is not, how could we then judge Zimbabwe as being more evil than, for example, China and Saudi Arabia – two countries enjoying marvelous ties with the West despite their abysmal human rights records. Is this blatant hypocrisy, or just the obligatory Real Politic of individual nations surviving in a cynical world where might (financial, military, etc) is right?

South Africa: What Future Is There For Whites And Other Minorities?
Mike Smith - 7/15/2007
What future is there for whites and other minorities in South Africa? It is not just whites who will disappear under the ANC/Communist rule, but all minorities - Coloureds, Indians and smaller black tribes.

Were Whites In Southern Africa Before Blacks?
Jan Lamprecht - 5/28/2007
When I was writing Government by Deception, I met also with a former Colonel who also had a doctorate. He showed me an extensive paper he had written on the subject of Black colonization of southern Africa, complete with maps, and stated that parts of the region were settled by Whites before Blacks. This is not an oddball theory and everything he said is already sitting in the history books.

Invest 2010 soccer money in a happy, healthy and safer South Africa
Miriam Mannak - 11/18/2006
In four years from now, South Africa will be swamped by millions of soccer fans from all over the world to be a witness to their team's fight for victory in the World Cup Soccer 2010. South Africa is proud to host the Mother of All Soccer Events and to make it a success billions and billions of rands will be spent on this once-off event. Billions that could have been used to address the country's most important challenges, to make the Rainbow Nation a better place for all, instead of for a few.

The Rise and Fall of South African Nuclear Weapons
Jan Lamprecht - 11/7/2006
When I visited President PW Botha shortly before his death, I spent some time browsing through an extremely fascinating little book about South Africa's nuclear program by Al Venter, and discussed the White South Africa's nuclear program. The book was in President Botha's study and it was signed by its three authors. One was an army general and two were scientists.

Will Whites Establish Their Own State In Africa Again?
Jan Lamprecht - 10/30/2006
I was watching the news the other day and man alive and having a darned good chuckle. If you thought you've seen the worst of post-colonial Africa, think again. Colonialism and Apartheid were extremely beneficial for Africa. Those were the best systems Africa ever had because everything that has come afterwards has been a miserable failure. Africans are dying like flies and the others who aren't dying are migrating away to White countries where they then claim to be victims of racism!

Will South Africa's Coloureds Unite With Whites?
Jan Lamprecht - 9/7/2006
This morning I had a fascinating discussion with a Coloured woman I work with. The Coloured, as they are known in South Africa, are people who are born of black/white marriages - the brown people. Despite what others outside South Africa may think, "race" is a well-defined term in this country. Everyone knows which group they belong to – even now. The Coloured people number almost the same number as whites - about 4 million, which is about 9% or so of the country's population. Interestingly, though they were discriminated against under Apartheid, the Coloureds have always felt they identify mo...

South Africa's Whites Should Organize And Fight Back Against The ANC
Jan Lamprecht - 8/10/2006
I was pondering the depressive writings of Cathy Buckle about Zimbabwe. Most of the writings from Zimbabwe are of that nature - and so too are writings about the fate of whites in South Africa. This is what one might call the Female response. The female response to evil is to cry out in pain. It is the response of a victim, of someone who is not in a position to fight back. Now in Zimbabwe, the game is lost. Virtually no whites are left, and the blacks too busy bickering and talking endlessly while refusing to take any action against Robert Mugabe. Blacks are so busy talking, they have time to...

ANC's Economic Policies Are Destroying The Economy
Jan Lamprecht - 7/4/2006
I have been warning for some years now about the damage caused by raising the minimum wage. But today it really hit home to me just how much damage the ANC"s laws do to the very blacks it claims to be helping. The minimum wage is a violation of the Free Market principles first expounded by Professor Adam Smith in 1776. Let us not forget that it is his analysis which resulted in modern economics and which is the cornerstone of modern Western wealth. Today, socialists seek to destroy the very principles which created the First World’s wealth.

Should Afrikaners Apologize For White Government's Conduct?
Jan Lamprecht - 6/27/2006
In the history books, and the writings of Nelson Mandela, you will find that Nelson Mandela officially started the war against White South Africans on December 16, 1961. MK, the armed wing of the ANC was formed and from that date, operating until 1994. During the 33 years, blacks and whites of this country were at war. And during a war, many things happen. Many of these so-called atrocities were just part of the war. So if one wants to criticize Apartheid as a system, then it is unfair to include in that criticism acts of war. In fact, since Mandela and others claim that Apartheid was their re...

South Africa's Bridge Builder between the State, Ethnic Communities and International Law?
Johann Wingard - 6/19/2006
The Constitution of South Africa is based on the liberal principle of individualism and only the human rights of individuals are recognised explicitly. At a late stage, Article 185 was included to make provision for a commission for the Protection of the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic communities.

Afrikaners Will Rise Again
Jan Lamprecht - 6/14/2006
I received an email from Mrs. Botha, the wife of the former South African Prime Minister P.W. Botha, in response to an article a few days ago entitled: "The Pride of Rhodesia". Apparently Mr. Botha enjoyed it so much he spent half the day on the phone reading it to people! Mrs. Botha also wrote about her perceptions that Afrikaners are starting to wake up and I've agreed.

Energy dominates growth debate in South Africa
Johann Wingard - 4/10/2006
Where electricity sector was previously – in the words of Thomas Edison – “a natural monopoly”, it has now become a political game. The oil shocks of the Seventies resulted in governments worldwide reconsidering their energy plans – resulting in scores of nuclear power stations being built at the time. The emphasis on the growth of South Africa’s energy capacity must be seen to underpin the previous policy of separate development to succeed through a healthy economy. An energy-driven economy could ensure relative peace in the labour sector.

Where Is South Africa Headed?
Jan Lamprecht - 9/21/2005
South African Vice President was in the UK where, among other places, she and a high-powered team have been doing presentations to foreign investors. The ANC now says they want 4.5% economic growth by 2010 - at which time we will be hosting the world cup soccer and then we will kick right up to 6% GDP growth. According to the news reports here many foreign investors are re-looking at investing in South Africa. But apparently some investors are asking hard questions. One of these tough questions is: What impact is AIDS going to have on our economy? This is a very valid and far-reaching question...

ANC Three Big Lies For The Future
Jan Lamprecht - 9/12/2005
Currently, South Africans are being inundated with two main streams of propaganda, aimed at frying our little minds, and I thought I'd bring them to everyone's attention because I believe that one of them especially, is not only going to be with us for a long time, but it could even have an ominous tinge to it.

The End Of Tripartite Alliance In South Africa
Jan Lamprecht - 8/29/2005
Some truly amazing thing are happening right now in South African politics which I would like to discuss because it can be easily missed if one does not follow events closely. Whether this is good or bad remains to be seen. My initial reaction was, and remains: Any split in the far-Left can only be good. But whether this is in fact so remains to be seen, as I will explain further.

Facts About Land Reform in South Africa
Dr. Izak Labuschagne - 8/26/2005
1. On 12 August 2005 an open challenge on the Internet containing extremely serious allegations regarding the governments land reform policy was made to South Africa’s President Mbeki. First at www.izak/letter%20to%20President%204.htm and as reported by The Foundation For the Development of Africa at http://www.foundation-development-africa.org/africa_development/other_africa_issues/index.htm and THE GLOBAL POLITICIAN at http://www.globalpolitician.com/articledes.asp?ID=1089&cid=8&sid=56

Challenge to South Africa's President: Are You Imposing Zimbabwe's Policies?
Dr. Izak Labuschagne - 8/15/2005
The hard facts regarding land reform in South Africa totally contradicts the political rhetoric. It is so bad that in one instance an open challenge to the President of South Africa had to be posted on the web. The cat simply slipped out of the bag regarding the statement by the Deputy President of South Africa reported on by most newspapers over the last few days. She said:

South African VP Wants To Adopt Mugabe's Policies
Jan Lamprecht - 8/12/2005
Here we go again. Some years ago, South African Minister of Labor said that South Africa should learn from Robert Mugabe’s “land reform” policies in Zimbabwe while visiting that country. Now, our new Vice President is repeating the same thing. But, as I have said for years now, the people who run this country are beyond insane and they will do it. At the Land Summit, they agreed that the willing buyer, willing seller principle was to be discarded and we would see State Intervention. That the Vice President of South Africa is mentioning this should make everyone realize just what lies ahead for our nation.

Book Review: "Reconciliation Through Truth: A Reckoning of Apartheid's Criminal" - ANC Official Predicts Genocide of Afrikaners
Adriana Stuijt - 8/4/2005
"Reconciliation Through Truth: A Reckoning of Apartheid's Criminal" by by Kader Asmal, Suresh Roberts and Louise Asmal predicts a genocide of the Afrikaners. The authors of this chilling book, all ultra-radical Marxist-communists who had been in exile for many years from South Africa up to 1992, outline the reasons why the current ANC-run government of South Africa is actively engaging in a witch-hunt against all three-million Afrikaners - due to what they view as 'the crime of apartheid'.

South Africa: Communists Organize Strikes To Destroy Capitalism
Jan Lamprecht - 8/3/2005
South Africa has been hit by a massive series of strikes which are crippling everything from our national airlines to gold mines and the SA Communist Party and their Trade Union affiliates have spoken about the “War Against Capitalism". Today, I will tell the untold story of how these strikes actually work. From time to time, I have had black men who come and work in my garden. In recent years, two in particular have worked for me for quite a long time. One was an old man, whom I will call Ian, and the other, whom I will call Peter, is in his 30's. On odd occasions, I would chat to them about ...

Reforms in South Africa Destroy Farming
Jan Lamprecht - 8/2/2005
Recent legislation proposed in South Africa also will separate farmworkers' employment contracts from their right to reside in their dwellings. The policy will see the government rolling out its low-cost housing program on farms. The department of housing's chief town and regional planner, Namso Baliso, said the policy would be sent to parliament for discussion early next year. However, farmers have begun responding to the eviction policy themselves.

Government by Deception: Unions and Communists Destroying South Africa
Jan Lamprecht - 6/28/2005
In my book, Government by Deception, I described exactly how the process of government by deception works. Marxists/Socialists say "We want to help the workers/people" - they shout it loudly, with accusations against others. But the very things they do, the very "solutions" they implement are actually designed to achieve exactly the opposite effect. When their policies make the poor even poorer, Marxists/Socialists and they blame other people for the very problems they have created. Not only that, but now they mobilize the masses into ever greater exertions to attack their enemies.

Zuma and the Future Fall of the ANC
Jan Lamprecht - 6/21/2005
The split between President Thabo Mbeki and the deposed Vice President Jacob Zuma will not benefit the Whites in South Africa. The Political Left completely dominates RSA politics and the result will be the same, no matter who wins. But what may happen is the first ever truly big split to hit the ANC. There have been many rumors of splits over the last 10 years, but none actually occurred.

Firing of South Africa's VP: Zulu - Xhosa Rivalry
Jan Lamprecht - 6/15/2005
The various news reports around the world are praising President Thabo Mbeki for firing Vice President Jacob Zuma for corruption as a result of his relationship with the corrupt Muslim businessman, Shabir Shaik. Everyone, including Buthelezi, who is a Zulu, were agreeing with Mbeki. While I have no reason to defend Zuma, who has been a stalwart member of the ANC, I doubt that Zuma is any more corrupt than any of the rest of the government. I'll bet you that there are many senior Govt officials striking all sorts of deals all the time.

Getting Rich In South Africa
Jan Lamprecht - 6/11/2005
As often happens in South Africa, local TV is trying to mimic American shows. The program "30 Seconds to fame" was a big hit here, so then they created the South African version of "30 seconds to fame". There was a bit of talent - but these things never work as well as in the USA where you have 300 million people to draw from. Then came Donald Trump's “Apprentice”. And it had just finished when they announced we would have a South African version of it. I at least had some respect for what Donald Trump did with his program, and felt that they could never, ever do it justice here - so I am not ...

New Poverty Among Afrikaners
Marge Leitner - 6/9/2005
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA. According to one of our local Sunday Newspapers, Die Wêreld, the number of whites in South Africa who are living below the breadline, has risen to a frightening 430 000. I am certain that this number is rising steadily. We have approximately 3 million Afrikaners here, so whichever way you do your maths, this is a disaster of immense proportions, in the making.

Racial Discrimination in South Africa
Adriana Stuijt - 6/8/2005
Over the course of my many years as a journalist in the Republic of South Africa, I have amassed a large body of documentation on all the Afrikaner groups from all sides of the political spectrum, and believe I speak with considerable authority because of that. Even though I currently live in the Netherlands, I still maintain close ties with many South Africans.

Apartheid and Separate Development
Johann Wingard - 6/6/2005
A common misconception exists that the Afrikaners (Whites of West European descent who lived in southern Africa for 350 years) introduced the apartheid to South Africa when they assumed political power in 1948. This perception is widely promoted by Britain's liberal press, as well as the African National Congress, which now governs the country. The result is that Afrikaners are being demonised as not worthy of any form of self-determination, as they cannot be trusted with any power.

Hate Crimes in South Africa
Adriana Stuijt - 6/5/2005
Liberal Afrikaner historian Professor Hermann Giliomee warns that the ANC parliamentarian Mbulelo Goniwe's comment in parliament that "it was only due to the largesse of the ANC that Democatic Alliance leader Tony Leon and his ilk weren't charged with nazi warcrimes and rotting away in jail right now..."

South African AIDS Crisis To Worsen Due To New Blood Transfusion Policies
Jan Lamprecht - 6/4/2005
A few months ago, a nurse in the Blood transfusion service "discovered" that blood was "racially typed". She found out that blood from White people was automatically regarded as safer than blood from Blacks. She thought this was extremely racist, and so she caused a scandal that reached the Minister of Health. Like all our government officials, he was delighted to find something they could hold up and use as an excuse to cry "racism!" And so the "racial blood furor" was set in motion.

South Africa: Democracy That Could've Been
Johann Wingard - 6/2/2005
During the early nineties of the previous decade, one often met people with American accents in the now defunct Carlton Hotel in central Johannesburg. They were obviously from either the CIA or some political think tank institute. Some were academics who visited the country to put the finishing touches to the final brain washing process of the Afrikaner establishment, to persuade them to relinquish power to the African National Congress.

Southern African Leaders: Sparking Racial Hatred To Control Power
Jan Lamprecht - 5/31/2005
Recently the Republic of South Africa followed the lead of Zimbabwe and initiated land re-distribution policies which take away family farms from Whites and give them to Blacks, usually those with government ties. However, recent studies have shown that most Blacks are not interested in farming. Despite this, the governing African National Congress & SA Communist Party keep harping on the land issue, repeating the propaganda that the land in the hands of White people is causing Black poverty, and that we need a "fair" distribution of land, as if it is fair to take away property and homes from ...

Afrikaners and Africa's Fragile Political Structure
Johann Wingard - 5/31/2005
Political sovereignty, once so sacrosanct, is losing ground to the economic realities that face all nations today. The economy has become the prime determinant of policy matters these days, an example being the economic realities that faced South Africa, which caused the Afrikaners to give up their political sovereignty in 1994; the same economic issues that could prevent them from regaining their sovereignty again in the future.

Re-Mapping Africa: The Coming Civil Wars in Congo, South Africa and the Rest of Africa
Jan Lamprecht - 5/30/2005
Much of the speculation about a potential South African alliance between the Blacks of the Zulu tribe and Afrikaner Whites against the African National Congress (ANC) and the Xhosa tribe they represent is just that speculation. However, it is also speculation by people who understand what is going on in the country. Recent, RSA President Thabo Mbeki said that the Zulus and Afrikaners are being "mobilized", which may be a great overstatement right now, but may come true in the future.

Afrikaner Independence (2): Interview With Volkstaat Council Chair Johann Wingard
David Storobin, Esq. - 5/27/2005
During negotiations between South Africa's White Afrikaners and ANC, as well as other Black groups, some of the Afrikaners demanded the right to self-determination. Nelson Mandela's team promised to discuss the issue further and even included it in the new Constitution. The organization that was set up to make recommendations on the issue was the Volkstaat Council (People's State Council). Johann Wingard was chosen to be the Chairman of the Council. Today, he is discussing with us the Council's work and South Africa after apartheid.

Civil War in South Africa's Future?
Jan Lamprecht - 5/27/2005
Approximately one third of South Africans (composed of blacks who do not belong to the Xhosa tribe, Whites and Coloreds) are very hostile towards ANC rule. This third of South Africa could, under certain conditions, probably take on and defeat the dominant Xhosa tribe in a civil war. Of course, it wouldn't be easy and it's not currently a realistic possibility in the short-term, but it may happen in the future decades.

South Africa's Housing Problems Get Worse
Jan Lamprecht - 5/27/2005
South African Blacks have been protesting ANC non-delivery of services. There are two aspects to this. Firstly, the ANC made impossible promises when it promised to build about a million houses a year, which the opposition said was impossible to do. The ANC responded with claims of Whites trying to keep Blacks down. We merely said that it is financially impossible for the government of South Africa to pull off and we were correct. They do claim that now, 11 years later that they built 1.6 million houses which works out to only 146,000 houses per annum as opposed to their big promises of 1 mill...

South Africa: From Boer Wars to the ANC
Jan Lamprecht - 5/26/2005
The Zulus, who live on the east coast, had many wars with other Blacks. They slaughtered all the Blacks in the interior of South Africa during one of these wars. Then approximately 800 Afrikaners/Boers, from the Cape decided to found their own country to get the hell away from the British. They went into this vacuum, left by the Zulus and founded two countries: the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. The British tried to take over the Transvaal, in about 1879, but the Boers fought them and chased them out of the Transvaal. The Boers thus won the first Boer war.

White Afrikaners Should Support Changing Pretoria's Name to Tshwane
Jan Lamprecht - 5/26/2005
The government of South African recently decided that the name of the country's capital Pretoria has to be Africanized and the city will now be called Tshwane. The renaming of towns and cities in South Africa was inevitable. In fact, renaming streets, suburbs, towns, cities and provinces is a Black pastime if you will. We whites have always looked at it cynically saying: "They can change the names, but they can't run the country." But then again, I think, proudly, that it is best the do change the names, because that will distinguish their failures from our successes. For example, Rhodesians c...

South Africa Frees Criminals
Jan Lamprecht - 5/25/2005
The African National Congress supports crime and it is interesting how they go about dealing with it. In the last few months, they have freed White criminals, who really should either be executed or should be serving hard labor. Whenever they free some of White scum, they do so with great fanfare and it is splashed all over the front page of newspapers and magazines, and these criminals are treated almost as heroes. There was a White Afrikaner woman who was freed some time back. She and her boyfriend were murderers. The man was executed by previous, apartheid-era, government for the hideous cr...

Afrikaner Independence (1): Interview With Freedom Front General-Secretary Col. Piet Uys
David Storobin, Esq. - 5/24/2005
In late 1992, South Africa's Conservative Party, together with other white right wing organizations and three Black Homeland leaders (Mangosuthu Buthelezi of KwaZulu, Lucas Mangope of Bophuthatswana and Oupa Gqozo of Ciskei) founded COSAG, the Concerned South African Group, which promoted the idea of a confederacy on ethnic/tribal basis. In May of the following year, CP and 20 other organizations organized the AVF, Afrikaner People's Front, which merged together with COSAG in July 1993 under the name Freedom Alliance. [Afrikaners are South Africans who lived in the country for several hundred ...

Refugees in South Africa (Part 6): Refugees get security, but plead for their papers
Miriam Mannak - 5/24/2005
The Department of Home Affairs yesterday placed toilets on the premises of the refugee reception office on the Foreshore and deployed security personnel to manage the scores of people waiting in line.

Refugees in South Africa (Part 5): Tackling the Problem
Miriam Mannak - 5/23/2005
Home Affairs Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula has paid a surprise visit to the Cape Town Refugee Reception Office and promised direct action to ease some of the "immediate challenges" faced by refugees, in-cluding the need for toilet facilities and queue management.

South Africa: Major Electoral Fraud by ANC Uncovered
Jan Lamprecht - 5/22/2005
There is a war against White males in South Africa. But let me say this: White males have contributed more to this country than any other single group. They are not in these positions for nothing. They are: intelligent, capable and hardworking. In the financial institution where I work, in Johannesburg, I have watched Whites being replaced by non-whites. I have watched White men being replaced by non-white women. I have also worked first hand with these people and had a chance to judge their levels of competence.

Refugees in South Africa (Part 4): Department of Home Affairs
Miriam Mannak - 5/22/2005
Three refugees were taken to hospital yesterday after being beaten by officials at the Home Affairs offices on the Foreshore. Officials used sjamboks and sticks against about 30 refugees who forced their way into the building shortly after the gates opened yesterday morning. People were also kicked.

Refugees in South Africa (Part 3): Government Corruption
