Geagte regdenkende, sowel as verkeerddenkende volksgenoot,
Ek het die volgende op Facebook oftewel en verkieslik Bakkiesblad, geplaas na aanleiding van die DA se patetiese poging gister om met ‘n politieke dobbelspel weereens die Afrikaner te teiken om die guns te wen van swart stemmers. Ongelukkig vir die DA, het hulle self veroorsaak dat ‘n hele klomp Afrikaners wat hulle voorheen gesteun het, hul steun in woede onttrek het van hierdie skootbrakkie van die ANC. Dit was inderdaad ‘n stukkie politieke selfmoord, eintlik briljant, want niemand sou hul beeld soveel skade kon berokken soos hulle nou self gedoen het nie. Ek doen hiermee ‘n beroep op elkeen wat deur die DA sien, om my voorbeeld te volg en die DA-Afrikaners of reg te help, of eenkant toe te skuif. Geen mens kan ‘n vryheidsvegter wees met ‘n DA-klippie in sy skoen nie.
Welgedaan aan die Kleinfonteiners wat ‘n indrukwekkende stukkie diplomatieke briljantheid aan die dag gelê het wat die DA eindelik met eier op sy gesig gelos het. Die DA het het nogal vooraf gesê Kleinfontein gaan Donderdag sien hoe lyk ‘n ware eenheidstaat se mense wat ontevrede is met afsonderlike ontwikkeling. Toe daag daar skaars 60 betogers op! Sjoe, ons moet seker nou bewe en kennis neem van hierdie grootse aksie en ongelukkigheid met ‘n leefwyse wat deur hul base, die ANC, in hul eie grondwet onder Artikel 235 erken word. Ek moet darem die DA bedank vir hul hulpeloosheid, met internasionale media teenwoordig het hulle nou sommer aan die res van die wêreld ook gewys hoe pateties hulle is. Spesiale dank ook aan Volksraadslid Ben Geldenhuys wat flink gedink het en ons volk se vryheidseis aan die internasionale mediamense oorhandig het. Hierdie soort van publisiteit is goud werd, en tog het dit ons volk nie ‘n sent gekos nie.
Nou is die tyd om betrokke te raak by die vryheidstryd. Ons mense word gemartel, vermoor, verkrag, en verrinneweer. Vir hoe lank nog wil hierdie volk swyg? Miskien tot daar nie meer ‘n volk oor is om ‘n toekoms vir hul nageslagte te verseker nie? Tree in verbinding met ‘n ware volksgedrewe organisasie en raak betrokke. Word ‘n registrasiebeampte vir die VVK. Staan nou op en doen iets, hierdie mag die laaste geslag wees wat sake nog kan beredder. Moenie vrees nie, God slaap nie, Hy het hierdie volk oor eeue heen gedra deur donker en skynbaar onoorkombare krisisse. Ons mag nie slegs bid en hoop als werk uit vir die beste nie. Elkeen wat life is vir sy/haar kinders, vir vriende of ander familie, het ‘n plig teenoor daardie geliefdes. Probeer om jouself daaruit te verduidelik soos jy wil, die plig bly op jou skouers.
Ons sal nooit opgee nie, ons sal nooit gaan lê nie, ons sal nooit so verkramp, rassisties of haatdraend wees soos die DA aan die wêreld gewys het hulle is nie.
Met ‘n trotse Boerehart,
Leon Cornelius

Dit is ‘n geregistreerde nie-winsgewende Organisasie wat na die hulpbehoewende volksgenote omsien. Ons ontvang geen hulp van die Staat of groot ondernemings nie, en is slegs afhanklik van kontant donasies en ander bruikbare huishoudelike items van die volksgenote wat aan die behoewendes gegee word. Gesinne, kinders, en bejaardes, wat die slagoffers van omstandighede buite hulle beheer is, se nood neem toe.
Netjies Leon…
Ek stem saam, dit was meesterlik hanteer en die gulhartige ontvangs wat die DA gekry het, het die steroetipiese bordjie (van onverdraagsame rassis) wat die DA so graag om die nek van Boere-Afrikaners wou hang, vir ewig die hok geslaan.
Briljant, Kleinfontein!
Goed gestel Leon! Maar moet nie vergeet nie, die DA sal elke situasie probeer gebruik om munt te slaan. Dat hulle naam krater gemaak is , is gewis so. Ek se, my mening, enige een wat DA stem of ondersteun het waarlik en uiters dringend psigiatriese hulp (elektriese breinskokke) nodig. As jy nie die minagting van hulle kant sien nie moet jy ook sodanige behandeling ontvang. Hulle het sweet blue all uitgerig gekry by Kleinfontein. Gemeet aan mense met wie ek in kontak kom, kan ek se die steun en passie vir Kleinfontein is enorm.
Die huidige politieke bestel en eknomiese agteruitgang noop ‘n klomp ouens om met vars oë na Kleinfontein te kyk. Waar ouens jare gelede prontuit teen ‘n “volkstaat” was is die koor van stemme meer gemete met redenasies dat hulle nou nie eintlik in ‘n volkstaat sal kan bly nie. Klink my die manne is besig om te herbesin????
Kleinfontein????
Nie meer nie. Die DA het hom kosteloos opgegradeer tot “Grootfontein”
Groot Afrikaners daar wat vir die wêreld gewys het dat die Afrikaner deur niks en niemand gestuit sal word nie.
Volkskantonne soos Oranie en Kleinfontein verteenwoordig groeiende selfbevryding. Hierdie kantonne kan Volkspolitiek deur die Volksraad en kanton-leiers aanmekaar gebind word vir die gesamentlike selfbeskikking.
Briljant! Bravo! Stuur die klomp tweegatjakkalse weg met die woorde : Ons doen wat die Zoeloes doen!
Het Zuma dan nie aan die swartes gese dat hulle moet trots wees op hulself en ophou om soos die wittes te wil wees nie?
Ek stem heeltemal saam daarmee.
Laat elk van ons kulture en tale toe om hulself te wees – binne perke!
En laat ons soos die Zoeloes, ons eiendomme registreer as Boere-Afrikanervolk -eiendom, slegs vir die Boere-Afrikanervolk ([email protected])

Oh the horror. A small group of Afrikaners declare publicly they want to live on their own and suddenly everybody loses their mind! Ironic then that the true threat to our freedom as a country is not this small group, as this small group is actually using the freedom of democracy, but rather the hateful backlash from certain members of the public.
Shoe, meet the other foot.
Let me try to put some perspective on this. Not too long ago a story popped up in the media in which it was stated that a small group of young men have died at an initiation school. Tragic as this may be in itself, what really concerned me, once again, was the reaction of the public. I was concerned because the cries for intervention went crashing into a large wall of “this is our culture, get lost.” Oh it gets worse. This was followed by a female MEC stating that she could not intervene in the matter as she was a woman. Wait what?! All these years of equal rights and female rights, everything that feminists and the ‘free-world’ fought for all tumbled down in a single sentence that made me realise that South Africa has not moved an inch. The world really has left us behind. I turn to the masses awaiting a wave of hysteria, but instead I see a large group of “wise” elders nodding their head. “She is right,” they say. “It is our culture. No woman would be allowed to intervene.”
This was said again. Here comes the scariest part. Reporters wanted to investigate one of the initiation schools to get more information. Sadly, they could not. They were told by a police officer that they should not go there. That’s right, a police officer, the very enforcer of the law would not dare go up against ‘the culture’ irrespective of the law. “No closer than 500m,” they said. I’m sorry, so as a white person who does not kneel before ‘the culture’ I am not allowed entry to the grounds? Blimey, this sounds awfully familiar.
Then the cherry on the cake made an appearance, not as a sweet delicacy, but rather as a very grim and morbid warning. A commentator at the top of the very page asked tongue in cheek: “Can I comment on the story?” Everyone chuckled. Well, everyone except for an African gentleman that quite clearly and loudly pronounced: “No.” End of discussion there then. His argument was simple; if it is not your culture and you did not go through it then you should not have the right to comment. What exacerbated the situation was how many gleefully agreed with him. Interesting, I thought, this sounds vaguely familiar as well. I wondered if that gentleman restrained himself and refrained from having an opinion on the Kleinfontein community as, I am assuming, he is not from a Voortrekker heritage. Then I was struck by another thought, does that mean that those people who do not pay tax should not be allowed to have any opinion or say to what happens to tax money?
I choose to walk bare feet.
I am simply polishing over a single issue here, so let me tie it together for you. My opinion, it seems, is fairly similar to that of our lovely liberal constitution. It says that we as citizens have freedom of association. FREEDOM! Still don’t get it? It means that people have the right to choose who they want to be around. Freedom does not mean that people can do whatever they want as long as they do what I want them to.
The reason for this is quite simple. Forced integration is no different from forced segregation because it all boils down to one thing, a lack of choice. Taking away a person’s right to think and choose for themselves is taking away the basic building blocks for a true democracy. People are allowed to have different opinions, and yes there will be persons whose opinions will make you fuming mad, but they still have the right to those opinions. This is why we are considered naïve and politically childish by the rest of the world, as it seems whenever someone has a different opinion in South Africa it is considered a threat to nation and a blatant attack on everyone, rather than a simple, democratically embraced OPINION.
Does that mean you can say and do whatever you want regardless of the consequences? No. That is why we have the law. The law ensures that people act “freely” inside a socially accepted framework designed to protect people, sometimes even from themselves.
Walking a mile in their boots . . .
Here is the kicker, as long as Kleinfontein is willing to abide by the laws they are free to build themselves a community of whatever they like. So why is it that the same community of folks that so harshly banned anyone outside their culture from giving an opinion and asking the world to respect their culture, now suddenly wants to refuse this community the same freedoms? Why did so called “intellectuals” and professors write scathing articles about this community being the personification of the evils fought against in the apartheid era? I thought we fought against oppression and for freedom, I thought we fought for a right to choose . . . are we not allowed to choose? Dear ‘intellectuals’, your silence was quite deafening when other communities and cultures used their same rights of choice and freedom, so excuse me if I brush your “shock and outrage” away. Clearly you support our beloved freedom and democracy only when it suits you and you are apparently even happy to ignore an issue when people die in the name of culture or when the rights of women are disregarded in the name of culture, as long as it is done in the name of your culture.
Ah, yes, quick . . .TO THE RACE CARD! Why did they not allow two black police men from entering the premises you ask? Does that not make them racist? Not really. The farming community is private property, which means if a police officer, ANY police officer, wishes to enter the premises they would need a warrant. If my doorbell chimed and some random police officer asked if he could walk through my house for no apparent reason, I would probably politely tell to come back another day with some paperwork. Wouldn’t you? This issue is very simple as well. Either the officers had official business for being there in which case they would have warrants and would legally have no problem telling the guards to shove of, or they did not, in which case they had no reason to be there in the first place. The skin colour of the officers allowed people to make all sorts of assumptions, but that is all that it is; assumptions. The fact that there wasn’t a court order to some serious investigation done was simply because legally they officers had no right to go there. It’s like being fined for driving without a license and then protesting you are being fined because you are black, ignoring that you are in fact in contravention of the law. Still, the entire issue of being allowed access should be moot as this precedent for the modern era was created by no one other than, you guessed it, our very own President! Read anything about Nkandla lately? You know, that Zulu kingdom from which the DA was forcibly removed. Truth be told there has been a little sign: “RIGHT OF ADMISSION RESERVED” that has been popping up everywhere for ages, and basically this sign gives any property the legal right to choose who they want to allow on the property. This is not some apartheid creation nor is it a sign left in the past. Go to your local supermarket doorway and peep around. So why do we throw a fit when the people of Nkandla claim the same right? Oh sorry, I meant the people of Kleinfontein . Why do we throw a fit when the people of Kleinfontein claim the same right?
Some people really do like Crocs . . .
It is all a question of perspective, so let me give you a little exercise. If you want people to respect your culture and views then you need to respect the culture and views of others regardless of whether or not you like those particular views. If you want to walk into your boss’ office waving a letter from a traditional healer (yup, that right has been fought for quite vigorously) instead of a sick note, or want the world to at least keep quite when you dance in a silly outfit, then you need to do the same. It is a two way street. If you want to keep the DA out of Nkandla (using violence no less) and claim it is a public property then respect the rights of those that choose to do the same.
These differences are not the death of democracy or some evil that we need to exterminate for democracy to thrive. THIS IS DEMOCRACY! Why are people so willing to suffocate their hard earned freedom? The best prison in the world is the one that you don’t know you’re in. Allowing government to oppress a group of people that you don’t like will enable them to oppress you when they so choose. They might be playing you favourite hits right now, but what happens when they start playing a different tune, what happens when they tell you how to dance? What happens when they bring in laws saying you must abide by Zulu culture? What happens when government outlaws initiation as an unsafe practice? They would never do that now would they? What if they made laws forcing you to pay for using public roads that you are already paying for through other channels and completely ignore the opinion of the public? What if they try to force through laws that allows the government to censor information from the public? Oh wait . . .
THERE is your threat to democracy and freedom. It is not a small white little community doing that they choose, but rather the government that is taking away your choices and then telling you it is for your own good. If you do not like the Kleinfontein community, well then that is excellent. Enjoy your right and freedom not to like them! Choose not to like them, but do not pretend like they are the ones oppressing you. If anything they are setting an example of how people can use their democracy and freedom to make choices, so make your choice . . . while the government still allows it.
So basically then, I am not asking you to like the Kleinfontein community, but I am asking you to respect their freedom and culture as much as you want your own to be respected.
P.S. Dear government, it was quite amusing to see you running forward expressing dismay and shock and horror and oh the madness that there are still communities as backward as Kleinfontein. I found it amusing as this is coming from the same government that stayed quite when one of their own ranks was prejudiced against for being a woman! Your every word on this matter drips of hypocrisy and your failure to handle the matter in a professional and neutral manner is a neon sign flickering a stern warning that you are not mature enough to lead this country.
Freedom for all! Even minorities – free from the compulsion by the majority. For the Zulu, the Xhosa the Boer and all others.
