       In the 3000 years since the end of the Stone Age, the indigenous
       people of Africa could not manage to create an infrastructure,
       could not mine or produce export, could, in fact not succeed in
       building anything higher than one storey and could not write
       down anything as reference for future generations, because they
       could not manage to master the art of writing. In fact, when the
       first Europeans arrived on 6 April 1652 it was 1974 years after
       Ptolemy I built the magnificent library of Alexandria – and in
       Southern Africa the indigenous people still could do no more
       than a few rock paintings and a clay pot with patterns on it.
       Today, this development, this contribution of the descendants of
       Europe has become a threat to the Black South African. He cannot
       compare. He has no contribution that can remotely compare to
       what the white man created and therefore he has to fall back on
       what primal instinct tells him to do: Destroy that which is a
       threat to you! It is against this background that the white
       South African is demonised as a slaver and murderer who stole
       land. Let us put this in perspective:
       In the first place: The Europeans who came with Van Riebeeck had
       no intention to stay at the Cape. We can clearly determine this
       from the repeated application for transfer to Batavia or
       Amsterdam made by almost every Company servant. The few men who
       decided to make this their homeland, did so because they came to
       love the land.
       They wanted to develop and grow here. And in the written
       evidence, left us by the men who did not intend to stay and
       therefore had no reason to lie, it is written down over and over
       again that the Europeans settled on uninhabited land. They
       exchanged land for cattle and money and traded with the nomadic
       indigenous people.
       The Company decided to import slaves.
       I emphasize import, because no indigenous person in this country
       was ever put into slavery! In actual fact, the slaves who were
       brought in from Madagascar and Batavia and Ceylon and East
       Africa were the ancestors of an entirely new group of people:
       the Coloured nation of South Africa who adopted the customs and
       culture of the European.
       Ever wondered why they did not adopt the custom of Africa?
       Because they were not exposed to it, that is why! Nobody at the
       Cape ever set eyes on a black person for 130 years before the
       first Trekboere met the Xhosa in the Valleys of the Amatola
       around 1770! These slaves also added to the bloodline of the
       European settlers, as did the French Hugenots of 1688 and the
       British Settlers of 1820. The White South African was a new
       nation, born in Africa. This nation called its language,
       Afrikaans, after Africa. This nation called itself after Africa
       – Afrikaners.
       On the first of December 1834 slavery was abolished in the Cape
       Colony. This is two years before the start of the Great Trek.
       The white man in South Africa knew nothing of the existence of
       the Zulu, the Tswana, the Sotho, the Venda…and he was at war
       with the Xhosa. It is chronologically impossible that indigenous
       people could be held in slavery, if the so-called slave masters
       did not even know of their existence before the abolition of
       slavery.
       Let us look at the “great” Shaka Zulu and the Zulu nation.
       Remember that the Europeans landed in South Africa in 1652.
       Shaka kaSenzaghakohona was born around 1787. He managed to
       unite, through force and murder and rampage a number of small
       tribes into the Zulu nation around 1819. Before that year, there
       WAS no Zulu people. A question of mathematics: The Zulu nation
       came into existence only 167 years after the arrival of Van
       Riebeeck. What logic can possibly argue that the Europeans took
       anything away from the Zulu-people?
       So when did the black man establish himself in South Africa and
       how? The answer lies in the Mfecane: Mfecane (Zulu:
       [m̩fɛˈkǀaːne],[note 1] crushing), also
       known by the Sesotho name Difaqane (scattering, forced dispersal
       or forced migration[1]) or Lifaqane, was a period of widespread
       chaos and warfare among indigenous ethnic communities in
       southern Africa during the period between 1815 and about 1840.
       As King Shaka created the militaristic Zulu Kingdom in the
       territory between the Tugela River and Pongola River, his forces
       caused a wave of warfare and disruption to sweep to other
       peoples. This was the prelude of the Mfecane, which spread from
       there. The movement of peoples caused many tribes to try to
       dominate those in new territories, leading to widespread
       warfare; consolidation of other groups, such as the Matabele,
       the Mfengu and the Makololo; and the creation of states such as
       the modern Lesotho.
       Mfecane is used primarily to refer to the period when Mzilikazi,
       a king of the Matabele, dominated the Transvaal. During his
       reign, roughly from 1826 to 1836, he ordered widespread killings
       and devastation to remove all opposition. He reorganised the
       territory to establish the new Ndebele order. The death toll has
       never been satisfactorily determined, but the whole region
       became nearly depopulated. Normal estimates for the death toll
       range from 1 million to 2 million.
       The black man established himself in this barren land now known
       as South Africa a full 174 years AFTER the white man. How dare
       you then call me a settler when you are nothing more? If I don’t
       belong here, certainly neither do you.
       Land stolen from the black man? No. The land occupied by the
       Boer-people was land that nobody lived on, for the pure and
       simple reason that the original people of South Africa were
       massacred and wiped out in a racist genocide by the ancestors of
       the current black population of South Africa. The very same
       thing that is now repeated with the white man. The white man has
       a full and legal and historical claim to his part of this
       country, including land. And the black man who disputes that is
       welcome to bring evidence of the contrary. Remember, popular
       liberal myth, propagandistic expressions and loud shouting and
       burning and looting to hide your own incapability is not
       evidence. It is barbarism.
       The popular myth of “the end of colonialism” is a lie also.
       Colonialism in South Africa ended on 31 May 1961 when the
       country became a Republic. White minority rule was not
       colonialism, because the white South African belongs here – you
       cannot colonise your own country.
       The entire uproar about white oppression and white guilt and
       white debt is based, exactly like the concept of the rainbow
       nation and its Africa-democracy, on one big lie. In Afrikaans, a
       language of Africa, we say: However swiftly the lie might
       travel, truth will catch up one day.
       Black South Africa might as well realise that the time of the
       lie is running out. Your stereotyping of the white man and
       apartheid as the cause of everything, cannot hold much longer.
       You cannot hide rotting meat under gift wrap for eternity.
       Some time in the very near future you will have to own up and
       explain how you could hold a small minority of oppressed people
       responsible for the disaster that you have made of a country
       which has the potential of being a place of safety, a welcome
       and hospitable home, to all its children whether they be black,
       white, coloured on Indian.
       The black man holds the key to the final destruction of what is
       left, or the final realisation that we have no other choice but
       to peacefully co-exist. The black South African can no longer
       avoid admitting that the destruction of the white South African
       necessarily means the destruction of everything and everyone
       left on the southern tip of Africa.
