@RenaldoGouws So what if the event is only for Afrikaners? Look at certain organizations inside our country. The Black Journalists Association and also a Black Lawyers Association. Now tell me something. Are those also not organisations only open to people of a certain skincolour?
For the last two decades, there has been a dedicated drive to vilify Afrikaners and white South Africans.
All you need to do is look at the tone of mainstream media, political parties like the ANC/EFF/MK and the narratives they drive and the songs they sing.
This is done to shift the blame for the collapse of infrastructure and service delivery in this country from that of the ANC/GNU to that of Apartheid/Colonialism.
Don't you find it strange that 32 years after the end of Apartheid, you now hear the term more than ever before and more opinion pieces about white privilege and how terrible Afrikaners and Afrikaner organisations like Afriforum/Solidariteit are?
I have had enough of this narrative that blames us, especially young white South Africans who weren't even born during Apartheid.
It's time to fight against this narrative and be proud of who and what you are, and not be ashamed of your culture and your heritage.
I'm not saying put your culture above anyone else's in this country but I am saying stop being abused by paid actors and the media to make you feel guilty for being born into a skin, gender and culture that you had no control over.
Written by someone else but very well said...
South Africans keep asking how much worse things can get.
That is the wrong question.
The question is what happens when decline becomes permanent.
For more than thirty years we have adapted to failure.
When electricity failed, we adapted.
When policing failed, we adapted.
When municipalities failed, we adapted.
When water systems failed, we adapted.
When roads deteriorated, we adapted.
When corruption was exposed, we adapted.
Every crisis became another inconvenience to work around.
Every failure became another expense.
Every expense became another sacrifice.
What we call resilience today would have been considered unacceptable twenty years ago.
The danger is not the collapse of institutions.
The danger is the collapse of expectations.
South Africans no longer expect functioning municipalities.
South Africans no longer expect reliable electricity.
South Africans no longer expect effective policing.
South Africans no longer expect government accountability.
We expect failure and then congratulate ourselves for surviving it.
That is not resilience.
That is surrender disguised as resilience.
The average South African is now paying to replace functions that government was created to provide.
Private security.
Solar systems.
Generators.
Water tanks.
Boreholes.
Medical aid.
Private education.
Armed response.
Tracking systems.
Insurance products designed around government failure.
Every year more responsibility moves to the citizen.
Every year more authority remains with the state.
That is the imbalance nobody is discussing.
A citizen who spends most of his income defending himself from decline is not building a future.
He is preserving the present.
His children inherit the same burden.
Then their children inherit it again.
Eventually an entire generation grows up believing this is simply how a country operates.
That is the true danger.
Not that South Africa collapses tomorrow.
Not that there is some dramatic event on the horizon.
But that decline becomes institutionalised.
Permanent.
Accepted.
Normal.
History shows that societies rarely lose their freedoms all at once.
They lose them gradually as independence becomes more expensive and dependence becomes more necessary.
The question South Africans should be asking is not whether the country is getting worse.
The evidence already answers that.
The question is this:
At what point does survival stop being resilience and start becoming acceptance?
Because once a nation accepts deterioration as normal, the battle is no longer against corruption, crime, failing infrastructure or incompetent governance.
The battle is against the belief that nothing better is possible.
And that is the moment decline stops being temporary and becomes a way of life.

@VindicePatriot@visegrad24 She dedicated her life to what she thought was right at the time. I wonder what she would have said had she been alive today about her beloved ANC and how they fucked the country up even way more than what it was when she was here in '93.
@visegrad24 Was there still much Apartheid left in South Africa back in 1993 to fight? By that time Mandela was a free man for 3 years already, the late Chris Hani was living in a white town, Boksburg. We weren't even under a sports boycott anymore at that time.
@RenaldoGouws I know what they (the DA) will say about all this. It was taken out of context. That saying as we all know, is one of the politician's favourite go-to lines.
@theyear2025__@RenaldoGouws He must have learnt the "springhaas" technique from one of the best at it, namely Patricia De Lille. Didn't she also jump from party to party?
@RenaldoGouws John Mayer says it nicely in his song, 'Waiting on the world to change'. He says, "coz when they own the information, they can bend it all they want."
@ErnstRoets I am a 44 yr old white man. I have a RSA ID doc stating I'm a citizen and my country of birth South Africa. As long as I have that, I will consider myself indigenous to this land and I will not be held liable for a system called Apartheid which I had no hand in upholding.
@RenaldoGouws@MaxduPreez Ja, Max is 'n doos, maar soos ek eenkeer vantevore gesê het kan ek met hom nog saamleef. Die een ou wat my egter afpis meer as enigeiemand anders in die Suid-Afrikaanse politiek, is Carl Niehaus. Waar sy ma aan hom kom, weet ek nie.
