🚨Boeremusiek and "Volkspele": Afrikaner Heritage, Roots, Popular Hits and the Need to Promote It‼️
Boeremusiek and "volkspele" are two of the most joyful expressions of Afrikaner identity‼️ They bring people together through music and dance that have defined rural and community life for generations. But where did they come from, are they still alive and why do schools do so little to pass them on⁉️
Origins of Boeremusiek
Boeremusiek is traditional Afrikaner instrumental folk music made for dancing. It developed from European dance forms (polkas, waltzes, schottisches) brought by early settlers and adapted on farms during and after the Great Trek🔥
The concertina became its signature sound‼️ It was never started by one person, it grew naturally as the music of Afrikaner rural communities for parties, weddings and gatherings.
Artists like David de Lange helped popularise it through recordings in the 1930s.
Volkspele: A Movement of Pride
Volkspele began in 1914 when Dr S.H. Pellisier returned from Sweden and adapted folk dances for pupils at the Afrikaans school in Boshof. It spread quickly with help from the Reddingsdaadbond and became a powerful symbol of Afrikaner unity and culture‼️ Dancers in traditional Voortrekker-style clothing performed at saamtrekke and school events for decades.
Still alive and great to dance to, these traditions are not dying, but they are now mostly kept alive by dedicated clubs, families and cultural groups rather than mainstream popularity🔥
One shining modern example is Klipwerf Orkes. Their energetic tracks like “Klipwerf Vrolikheid” and “Lekker Ou Jan” are perfect boeremusiek, lively, rhythmic and made for dancing. They are fantastic at a braai, the beat gets everyone on their feet, young and old, creating exactly the warm, social atmosphere our gatherings have always been about‼️
Schools and the Syllabus Today
Before 1994 these traditions were a normal part of many Afrikaans schools. After 1994 the ANC government’s education transformation (especially under CAPS) shifted focus toward national reconciliation, redress and indigenous African narratives. Specific Afrikaner folk forms like boeremusiek and volkspele now receive very little attention in most public schools. They are not banned, but they have been de-emphasised‼️
This leaves a gap. While the policy aims at transformation, it has meant less space for Afrikaner cultural expressions in the state syllabus🔥
The good news is that culture does not live only in schools. We as Afrikaners must promote boeremusiek and volkspele more actively in our own communities and to our children‼️ Play Klipwerf Orkes and the classics at home and braais. Teach the dances and take kids to events🔥 Support the bands and clubs. When we do this, the music and the joy stay alive even if the government syllabus does not prioritise it.
These traditions survived far bigger challenges than curriculum changes. They will continue to thrive if we choose to pass them on with pride.
South Africa is stronger when every community keeps its heritage vibrant🔥 Let’s make sure the next generation knows how to dance to good boeremusiek at a braai‼️

20 MARRIED SEX Facts and Stats ... (a thread)
1 - Most married couples have sex a little over 5 times per month.
2 - Married women are more than twice as likely to have an orgasm as unmarried women.
3 - In 1 out of 4 marriages the wife has the higher sex-drive than the husband.
4 - Roughly 20% of married couples fall into the “sexless marriage” category; defined as having sex less than 10 times per year. Which is totally fine as long as BOTH partners are okay with this. If one is not, that's not healthy.
5 - According to statistics, 75% of married women orgasm during sex. AND many married women don't measure sexual success by orgasms, (but it's definitely very important). Meaning women often still feel connected to their husband, and satisfied, when not achieving an orgasm every time.
6 - The length of a men’s orgasm is roughly 8 seconds long whereas a woman’s orgasm is on average, 20 seconds!
7 - The main goal of sex in marriage should be two fold: 1) To please each other, not seek self-satisfaction first. 2) Re-connection as husband and wife.
8 - God created a woman’s clitoris with 8000 nerve endings .... and its ONLY function is to bring pleasure. Married sex is obviously to be enjoyed for more than just procreation.
9 - Two of the biggest enemies of married sex are busyness and tiredness. So if you're struggling with sexual intimacy, maybe slow down and make it a priority.
10 - Statistically the couples with the best sex-lives are the couples willing to talk about it with one another.
11 - IMPORTANT: How often should a married couple have sex? As often as they both mutually agree to. Whether it’s 5 times a a week, 5 times a month, or 5 times a year, it should be mutual agreement. Neither the higher-drive spouse nor the lower sex-drive should NOT be the one that sets the amount of times when it comes to frequency.
12 - COMPLAINTS: Top complaint from MARRIED WOMEN when it comes to sex? They want their husband to pursue them in other ways than just sexually. Meaning, they don't want to feel like the only time their husband wants them is sexually. Top compliant from MARRIED MEN when it comes to sex? They’d like their wife to initiate more often so they don’t feel like they’re begging. Nothing is worse than feeling like you're begging all the time.
13 - Most husbands feel very emotionally connected to their wife when they have sex with them. Most wives NEED to feel very emotionally connected to their husbands to want to have sex with them. Don't judge your spouse for being wired up different, try to see it from their vantage point and meet their needs their way.
14 - Married sex isn't just about having an orgasm. It's designed to connect and reconnect two people into one ... over and over. Married sex was created to be the purest form of intimacy ... where you touch one another physically, emotionally and spiritually. In fact, it's so good for your marriage, you should probably be having more of it.
15 - God created married sex for SO many reasons ...
* procreation.
* pleasure
* oneness
* comfort
* bonding
* intimate knowledge of one another
* connecting AND re-connecting with one another.
16 - Did you know that every time you have sex with your spouse, oxytocin is released into your bodies. Oxytocin is a hormone and neurotransmitter known as the "love hormone" or "cuddle hormone," produced in the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland, crucial for social bonding, trust, and attachment. Oxytocin is an incredible gift that connects you to your spouse. That's why many say sex is a glue in your marriage!
17 - Of course anyone can have sex; it only requires a few body parts. But making love requires intimacy, commitment and a deep loving relationship. Marriage and making love will always require more work, but it's definitely so much better! The world makes sex common, God made sex to be special.
18 - We believe if there is anything physical, mental or emotional keeping you from you from having your best sex life in your marriage, you need to see a doctor. They can help with so many things someone might be having issues with.
19 - Of course intimacy is not just experienced through sex. It's found in talking, spending time together, doing spiritual things together, and so on. All areas of intimacy are important.
20 - You made it to #20? We are impressed. Consider reposting this or saving this for later info.
And, if you're ever in an area where we're doing one of our workshops, we talk about all these things on a much deeper scale in our workshops. Join us sometime.

Facts, and thank you Elon, for saying it out loud without the usual coward dance.
The post-apartheid South African government didn’t just quietly discriminate; it wrote anti-white racism straight into statute; Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE), racial quotas that explicitly punish companies for hiring or promoting too many White people), employment equity laws that make it illegal for certain jobs to go to Whites even if they’re the best candidate, land expropriation policies that single out White-owned farms, university admission and bursary rules that openly cap or exclude Whites and government tenders where “previously disadvantaged” (code for Black) gets priority no matter the price or quality. Meritocracy dead.
They don’t even pretend anymore. The ANC, EFF, and half the cabinet openly chant “Kill the Boer” or celebrate policies that would be called literal apartheid if the skin colors were reversed. Farm murders at rates higher than war zones, Whites systematically pushed out of civil service, sports quotas that bench world-class athletes for being born the wrong race; it’s state-sanctioned ethnic cleansing behind a rainbow-nation smile.
Calling it “reverse apartheid” is too soft; it’s apartheid with a new target, and the West stays silent because the victims have the wrong complexion for the outrage algorithm.
The rest of the world should stop pretending this isn’t happening. South Africa isn’t “still healing,” it’s openly waging war on a minority while the global press calls anyone who notices a racist.
The laws on the books in South Africa right now are some of the most explicitly racist on planet Earth in 2025.
End of story.
STOLEN LAND, HUH?
In the spring of 1672 (autumn in the Netherlands) a formal land buy agreement was reached between the Dutch settlement at the Cape of Good Hope and the Khoi tribes of the Cape.
The negotiation between the VOC and the Khoi tribes of the Cape took on the form of land negotiations where the Vryburgers will restrict their settlements to an agreed area which the Khoi will not use as grazing fields.
The Khoi delegation undertook to sell the land to the VOC for now and ever. As payment, the Khoi could for the agreed amount, take provisions from the Castle storage.
The agreement is currently preserved in the registry of deeds in Cape Town and is regarded as a legal document.
THERE ARE MANY, MANY MORE INSTANCES OF LAND LEGALLY PURCHASED.
