September 15, 2004 - Listening to Tim Modise on Radio 702 today is like listening to a barrage of anti-white hate speech. The subject he threw open for "public debate" in his carefully-vetted call-in radio broadcast was the comment by the deputy minister of mineral affairs that "white cartels are looting the country". The woman said this during a parliamentary debate. She was just copying the sentiments of her own president, Thabo Mbeki, however. "Millions of black people are suffering while white cartels are looting South Africa...they are continuing today to loot our diamonds..." she said.

In response to this, we have received the following: OPEN LETTER TO THABO MBEKI from BOER NATION

- From: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
to: The ANC President,
Republic of South Africa.
Regarding "ANC Today - Volume 4, No. 36. 10-16 September 2004 - Letter from the President: Questions that demand answers" (printed underneath our letter)
"Congratulations on the frank way in which you are taking Big Business to task, obviously disregarding the risks involved. When one wants to know what the real agenda is belying Big Business it is best to heed President Paul Kruger on this matter who claimed: “It is not our gold or diamonds they want; they want our country”. Should we be reminded of the atrocities of war that took place shortly thereafter, causing the Boer holocaust killing 5 000 women and 22 000 children?

Over many years South Africa’s geographical position on international trading sea routes, our raw materials and resources, and our people’s labour, technical knowledge and skills have been exploited for the sole benefit and profit of international business, using exploitations by political front men to achieve this and still do. Your pertinent questions strongly remind of those asked by the then Prime Minister of South Africa, His Honourable Dr. H F Verwoerd, shortly before his untimely demise.

Of both these men, as you, it can be said that they had a profound love of this country and its entire people. Even if we differ with their actions and the policies of their time, as I’m sure many differ from yours, statements and questions of this kind are strongly evoked from nationalism - a heartfelt positioning of your country first and foremost. Referring to Mr Trahar's (Anglo American's CEO), statement about the lingering SA-risk your questions and arguments lead to only one conclusion:

Africa is becoming an increasingly stubborn slave in need of thorough discipline.
Therefore beware; international business might be calling for the disintegration of the present government or components thereof. To accomplish this, economic warfare, as has been so successfully used in the not so distant past, could be on the cards. However valid your questions, do not expect any honest answers forthcoming from the very vested interest groups you are questioning.

If you have not yet heard of the report posing answers to these questions that caused turmoil in the markets, I therefore wish to forward the Sprott Asset Management Report regarding a study into the manipulation of gold. It is of the most exhaustive reports ever collated on the subject and explains exactly how derived instruments are being used to suppress the gold price as well as creating a shortage of gold supply. The liquidation of the Australian gold mine “Sons of Gwalia” recently is probably the first shot fired in an economic war on many mines, especially as major banks and economies without gold holdings begin to 'hedge' against gold holding, such as South Africa. Gold is a volatile volcano on the verge of eruption and markets are managed and therefore not free to move with the tides.

With regards to your first paragraph: ‘The period of 350 years from the arrival of the Dutch settlers in the Cape in 1652, to our liberation in 1994, was characterised by uninterrupted conflict and permanent uncertainty about the future of our country. During the last few years of the system of white minority rule introduced by the Dutch settlers, our country experienced greatly heightened levels of violence as the apartheid regime did everything it could to retain power,’ I would like to draw your attention to the following:
 
Neither the Dutch settlers nor the late Dr. H.F. Verwoerd were the architects of apartheid as is so often surmised.
Under your present pressures you would probably grasp the significance of this statement.
History shows the flip-side of the coin: (note that "apartheid" supposedly was launched only from 1948...)

The Native Pass Law (1809) of the British Government compelled Black people to carry pass books;

In 1865 Sir Theophilus Shepstone made it impossible for Black people to vote in Natal;

Cecil John Rhodes in 1894 stopped a Brown man, Krom Hendriks, from playing in a South African cricket tour to England;

Rhodes in 1905 introduced compulsory division between Black and White scholars in Cape schools;

The Native Land Act 2(1913) prohibited land ownership by Blacks;
Min. H.W. Sampson (1925) introduced job reservation as regards the Law pertaining to  Mines and related industries;

The Immorality Act in Natal (1927) prohibits sexual relations between people of different race and colour. (also Law 23 of 1957);

Gen. J.C. Smuts in 1936 introduced separate representation in Parliament;

The Native Urban Area Act 25 (1945) stated that Blacks may not, without a permit, remain for 72 hours in an urban area;

The National Party in 1948, defeating the SA Party at the ballot box, respected all land- and provincial legislation, and stuck to entry and non-entry signs at all state departments, public places and businesses which indicated where the various races would be served. At the start of the Verwoerd era, freedom was given to all those who wanted to utilise it.

Self-government was offered to the various Black nations, an offer they grabbed with open arms.
The offer was made after the well-known British “winds-of-change” speech in die South African Parliament.
The very same offer was also made by the British Government to present-day Lesotho, Swaziland and Botswana, self-governments which are still in place today.

Only the South African independent homelands were destroyed from 1994. The ANC as well as the international World ignores these historical truths, especially with regard to the years 1948 through 1966.
However The Truth and Reconciliation Commission questioned no-one from that era. In 1966 South Africa experienced unparalleled prosperity with 2% inflation and 6% economic growth. Let the record show that during the Verwoerd era South Africa experienced its greatest period of peace and co-existence amongst indigenous peoples.

In spite of all the changes wrought in all sectors during the period 1967 through 1994 this period is regarded (by the ANC) as the “great sin of apartheid”.
About this period the Boervolk is subjected to serious debate, reproach, imputations, and persecutions.
Accusations (TRC) against the Boervolk were often done amidst a flood of tears.
The truth is that the Big Eight economic countries, together with others in the international political arena, should take the blame that today Namibia and South Africa are suffering economic slavery.

Verwoerd was a pioneer, an achiever.
He forced nothing upon anyone.
He was a friend of the Black man, not an enemy.
So are we, the progeny of the Dutch settlers known as the Boer-Afrikaner.
