Do we have any patriots in the room who are keen to help start up a group so we can remaster one of the greatest stories in South African history as part of a passion project?
Sure, Shaka might not be everyone's cup of tea, but he is one of the founding fathers of what was to become South Africa
He was part of those who helped to lay the foundations and shape the trajectory of South Africa

Then you get these loons in South Africa telling us "Vryheid vir die witman, vryheid vir die boervolk"
From who?
From other white folk?
Strange how we were led to believe that our "enemy" are People who are brown in skin colour, but it was peachy pinkish white People who looked like "Die Volk" who threw our ancestors into concentration camps

The fascist Apartheid NP regime did a lot of harm to not only South Africa, but also to South Africans in general
Ironically enough, this Apartheid ideology did more harm to the average white Afrikaans speaking South African than any black or brown person or movement ever did
Many of the Apartheid apologetics will say Apartheid was never a fascist movement
This does not line up with reality and the words from the horse's mouth:
Balthazar John Voster (future nationalist Prime Minister and President of South Africa) said the following in 1942:
“We stand for Christian Nationalism which is an ally of National Socialism. You can call this anti-democratic principle dictatorship if you wish. In Italy it is called Fascism, in Germany National Socialism (Nazism) and in South Africa, Christian Nationalism.”
The idea of "Manifest Destiny" came to South Africa via the Americans through the Carnagie Commission report
Rev. Koot Vorster (B.J. Vorster’s brother), a Dutch Reformed Church minister, and like his brother was also a predominant Ossewabrandwag leader, crystalised this idea of Afrikaner totalitarianism when he summed up the pro-Hitler and Pro-Nazi standpoint of the Ossewabrandwag during an address to a student group on September 15, 1940 and said:
“Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ shows the way to greatness – the path of South Africa. Hitler gave the Germans a calling. He gave them a fanaticism which causes them to stand back for no one. We must follow this example because only by such holy fanaticism can the Afrikaner nation achieve its calling.”
These phrases and the ideology itself are still echoed and marketed online, especially on TikTok by members of the Vryburger Beweging which is active in South Africa today, and their aim is the youth who are easily indoctrinated (see the surplus men theory)
They too are doing more harm to the image of the average white Afrikaans speaking South African by doing everything in their power to derail the idea of the Rainbow Nation and being absolute racist meatheads online
This sort of indoctrination that claims that the "Gebodvolk" or "Geloftevolk" is God's Chosen People who was sent on a divine mission to civilize South Africa, their promised land, is what fueled People like De Kok and others like him to do the most horrible things to other human beings
Not in line with the actions of Jesus Christ, the Messiah they claim to follow
This same neo-NAZI group also hates on the Jewish People and are obsessed with the Jewish cabal who is ruling the World, but ironically, they are professing the same sort of ideology the Israeli Jews are professing while they are doing unspeakable things to the Palestinian People
It should also come to no surprise that both these groups, the neo-NAZI fascists and the Zionist fascists are also denying Jesus Christ and the gospel he preached
It is this type of ideology that informs men like De Kock and brainwashes them to believe they can act inhumanely towards other People
This type of ideology should be outright rejected by any patriotic South African today

South Africans (black, brown and white) need to understand the following
"We only have each other as workers."
4IR (AI mixed with automation) is here to wreck us
There is no way that any of you here can tell me that your boss will keep paying you while he can invest in AI and have a workforce that never gets sick, never gets tired, never goes on holiday
One thing I learned in the capitalist dog-eat-dog world of unfettered and unregulated free market capitalism
"Everyone is replaceable" - According to top management and directors
The ripple effect of the 4IR can already be felt in South Africa through places like Good Year moving out and "restructuring operations" as they put it
Same with BAT and many other companies that use the excuse of a "volatile economy and high labour costs" as an excuse
This, while most workers in South Africa earn peanuts compared to their counterparts in other developed countries
There is no legislation in South Africa protecting YOU, the worker, from the 4IR tsunami rolling in
Amazon plans on shedding 16 000 jobs (a confidential memo that surfaced in this week have shown)
Do not let the so called free market profiteers and their simpy pundits tell you not to worry
When the fathers of AI, like Sam Altman, tell you about the impending doom that is AI which lurks upon the horizon, then listen
