We have a very unique, a very rich history. We have our own culture that we developed here in the southern tip of the African continent. Civilizationally speaking, you could say we are Westerners and we're very proud of our Western heritage. And we're actually the last Western outpost on the African continent. And we're very proud to be in Africa and to have remained in Africa.
And we are certainly committed to a future here in the African continent where our ancestors have faced many existential crises over the centuries.
Thank you. Well, the book is Kill the Boer and it is available on Amazon. And I would encourage people to go and read it and also to talk about this.
Well, the answer to that is both yes and no. The reason why the answer is no is because our community is very actively being targeted by the government. I mean, I can tell you the names of people I know who have been attacked on farms and even people who have been murdered. I myself have been in an armed robbery situation.
And on top of the violence, we have more than 140 race laws in this country aimed at targeting and discriminating against the white minority. We have the rhetoric. We have the threats to confiscate property and all of that. The reason why the answer is yes, that we do feel safe, is because we are a very well-organized community. And
we uh and and i i say feel safe perhaps in quotation marks but but to a certain extent the afrikaner people have gotten used to living in africa and uh to walking around wearing a firearm to defend yourself if needs be and you know it's almost like the wild west but perhaps south africa is the wild south and and and but but the thing is we we love this country so much
that a lot of people i know a lot of people want to leave and a lot of people would leave but but the overwhelming sentiment here is that we really love this country we love this place we love our history we love our culture and we want to have a future and and we need we need some form of an intervention to ensure that we can remain here as our ancestors have done for hundreds of years
Yeah, no, you're absolutely right. It is reaching some form of a boiling point. So in the 1990s, when there were the negotiations for a new South Africa, the president of South Africa, the current president, Cyril Ramaphosa, was the chief negotiator for the ANC.
And he was asked during a private meeting by a member of one of the opposition parties, what is the ANC's plan for dealing with white people in a so-called new South Africa? To which he responded that their plan for dealing with whites is like boiling a frog alive. You know, that metaphor of the frog that is put in hot water, but the water isn't boiling temperature at first.
The temperature gradually increases up until ensuring that the frog doesn't jump out up until the point where the frog eventually boils to death. And it's very alarming to see the extent to which this is actually what they have been doing since taking power in 1994. And so you mentioned the word unsustainable, and that is the correct word.
And so what we need from a sort of macro political perspective is change. some form of an intervention in the sense that the political system in South Africa has to change. South Africa is, in a certain sense, a globalist project. And the solution to this is self-governance. We do not have self-governance in this country. We are dominated by a race nationalist socialist movement.
And they're obviously trying to convince us that these socialist ideas would make the country a better place. They then blend it with race nationalism, not even race nationalism, just racist nationalism. And it's been so destructive to this country. And this needs to stop. We need a different political system for the country altogether.
I think it's possible. I think it's not just possible. It's highly probable that the system would change at some point because it's very clear, not just that it is failing, but that it has failed and that it continues to fail.
And so that is what we are trying to do with the Pioneer Initiative, is raising awareness about the fact that we do not simply have a choice between the ANC government and the apartheid system, but there are other political systems that one might consider, federalism being one, but there are others as well. And there's going to be a change.
And what we need to do is to be well-organized and sure when the system changes, it changes for the better and not for the worse.
I mentioned this story about the vow that was made in 1838. And he went to negotiate with the Zulu king, King Dungan. They signed a treaty. The king said, we need to celebrate this, but leave your weapons outside. And so during the celebration, the Zulu king chanted, kill the wizards. And they slaughtered them. We need to retaliate. We need to attack back.
And so they had a command of about 300 to 400 people. They were completely surrounded by about 12,000. A man named Sadal Saliha, he was the religious leader. And he said, we need to make a vow to God. Some people say that's the origin story of our people.
The argument was that South Africa should be thought of as Europe. The single biggest problem in South Africa, it's the triangle of unemployment, poverty and inequality. Ironically, they've gotten to a point where they can only think about inequality.
Well, let me firstly say thank you very much for speaking with me. And I can say with great self-assurance that a lot of people in South Africa would be very happy to hear that you are interested in what's happening in South Africa.
Well, hopefully we can flesh out a lot of that. So you're absolutely right to say that the history of, or the patterns of land ownership and the history leading to this is complex. And we can do an entire interview just about that because there were so many events that happened in South Africa.
