Exactly the same situation as the Afrikaner Boers in South Africa.
Same history, same kind of hardships.
Now we have the same lazy crowd comparing their uselessness to our excellence.
Dankie Afriforum. Ek dink die basis van julle sukses is die Christelike beginsels waarmee julle alles aanpak.

This can only go two ways. Either good for society or just anither money laundering platform just by the presence of convicted criminals in the organization.
Careful my black friends. Afriforum does not matter. The people working for it does. Already I see that the black leaders chosen for you (Boesak, Fraser etc) look dodgy.
Choose your own leaders from your black communities and select young and talented independent candidates to vote for. Above all else fund your Afriforum from your own pockets like we did. Good luck!
Around 1998 to 2004, while I was first a detective and later a crime analyst, we saw a significant number of firearms being stolen during residential burglaries. Others were lost or stolen from vehicles. One of the most common places firearms were found was hidden under mattresses. This was a nationwide problem.
The government responded by tightening South Africa's firearm laws and introducing competency requirements. As expected, there was considerable opposition from firearm owners, hunting organisations, and shooting associations.
Looking back, those organisations also played an important role. They helped educate firearm owners about safe storage, responsible ownership, and the risks of theft. Their awareness campaigns and training likely prevented many firearms from ending up in criminal hands. That education continues today.
From my perspective, theft of firearms from private citizens has declined significantly. Ironically, many recent cases now involve firearms being lost or stolen from government institutions.
The question is: who is educating them?
And also note that the majority of all murders were committed with other weapons than a firearm. So its four out of ten murders commited with illegal firearms.
Firoz Cachalia, waarnemende minister van Polisie, se antwoord op ’n vraag in die parlement bevestig dat die oorgrote meerderheid van moorde met vuurwapens in die land gepleeg word met ongelisensieerde vuurwapens. AfriForum meen dié feite bevestig opnuut dat die regering se benadering tot selfs strenger wetgewing om strawwer vuurwapenbeheer op wetsgehoorsame vuurwapeneienaars af te dwing, ideologies gemotiveerd is en nie aan die hand van feite regverdig kan word nie.

Hello @GaytonMcK do you think South Africans are uneducated? You give R3 million to Hockey every year. Why did you make it seem like it is something new?
This is part of the budget. You haven’t done nothing for the Hockey team. You proudly wasted R31 million of taxpayers in the World Cup.
There should be only three generals at national level. The chief of police, the head of detectives and the head of visible policing. The same amount for each province. The district commanders can be a Brigadier as commander with two brigadiers one for investigations and one for visible Policing. The sub districts can have Colonels and station commanders can be Lt.Col.
There's 722 brigadiers and Generals in the SAPS...
They cost the SA taxpayers R3 600 000 000.
That's a lot of money.
Do we really get service for our Money.
She joined the PAC in the late 80's, she was high ranked and was part of CODETTA negotiations and became an MP 1994 shortly after the incident. She also was based on Cape area. In Politics nothing happens without the knowledge of leadership. Violence was part of their strategy. Her hands are full of blood.
The St James Church Massacre 🧐
On the evening of 25 July 1993, one of the deadliest attacks on civilians during South Africa’s political conflict took place at St James Church in Kenilworth, Cape Town. Four members of the Azanian People’s Liberation Army (APLA), the armed wing of the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC), attacked the congregation during the Sunday evening service.
Around 1000 worshippers were inside the church when the attackers entered armed with assault rifles and hand grenades. After throwing grenades into the congregation, they opened fire indiscriminately. Eleven people were killed and 58 were injured.
Among those killed were four Russian seamen who had been attending the service as part of a church outreach programme. Another Russian sailor survived but lost both legs and an arm.
One member of the congregation drew a licensed .38 Special revolver and returned fire, wounding one of the attackers. His actions disrupted the assault, causing the gunmen to flee before they could carry out a planned petrol bomb attack on the building.
The attack shocked South Africa. St James Church belonged to the Church of England in South Africa and had a mixed race congregation. The church had also opposed apartheid, making it an unexpected target.
Police arrested one of the attackers ten days after the massacre. He was convicted of 11 counts of murder and sentenced to 23 years in prison. The remaining attackers were arrested later and charged. Before their trial concluded, they applied for amnesty through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. One of the accused died in a motor vehicle accident while on bail before his application could be finalised.
The TRC granted amnesty to the surviving attackers after finding that they had acted with a political objective, followed orders from APLA commanders, and made full disclosure of their actions, as required under the Commission’s legislation. As a result, the convicted attacker was released after serving about five and a half years in prison, and the criminal proceedings against the others did not continue.
During the amnesty hearings, APLA’s Director of Operations accepted responsibility for authorising attacks on white civilians as part of the organisation’s armed campaign. He stated that the attacks were carried out in retaliation for the killing of schoolchildren by the Transkei Defence Force and were intended to strike civilian targets viewed as part of the apartheid system.
Although the perpetrators received amnesty, the TRC concluded that the attack on St James Church was “a gross violation of human rights” and a violation of humanitarian law because it deliberately targeted civilians.
Later in 1993, APLA carried out another attack at the Heidelberg Tavern in Observatory, Cape Town, where four people were killed. Ballistic testing confirmed that the same firearms used in the St James Church attack were also used in the Heidelberg Tavern attack.
In the years that followed, several survivors and relatives of those killed met publicly with the former APLA members as part of South Africa’s reconciliation process. While not everyone accepted forgiveness, these meetings became widely recognised as examples of the difficult work of reconciliation after apartheid.
