Report to EU Parliament on South Africa

Afrikaners, European Parliament, Farm Attacks, Formal Media, Land expropriation without compensation

— Stuart Agnew (far left above) is a man of his word. I recently reported on the visit by a two-man European Parliament delegation to South Africa. Agnew, a British EU Parliament Member, was one of the two members of that delegation. He has now delivered his report to the European Parliament as promised. The details may be read HERE.

Any reasonable person will realise by now that a Racist Communist farm nationalisation process is taking place in South Africa, and that only farms owned by white people are targeted. But there are three factors that the Formal Media insists on warping, and they are (1) the scope of land ownership; (2) the rate of murder of White Farmers; and (3) the nature of the attacks. The Media will have the reader believe that White Farmers own around 80% of the land and that farm murders are insignificant and dwarfed by murders of Black people by Black people. They simply do not report the actual attacks, dutifully and sheepishly staying silent on the scope of the horror.

One does one’s best to explain the realities, but it seems most people on Earth are mathematically challenged, particularly when they do not WANT to hear the truth. So, it is with overwhelming gratitude that I note Mr. Agnew’s very direct statement of the facts on these three matters.

Who owns the land?

Firstly, on land ownership Mr. Agnew states:

 In reality, the State owns 22% of all land and a further 24% is owned by trusts. There are 4,000 unallocated farms on the Government’s books awaiting distribution.

What he does not mention is that those trusts include for example the Ingonyama Trust by which King Goodwill Zwelethini of the amaZulu holds the land of the Zulu people, where White farmers may not farm. They also may not farm in the Transkei where the land is similarly collectively held for the isiXhosa-speaking people of Mandela.

The Rate of murder of White Farmers

Mr. Agnew then goes on to address the matter of the actual rate of farm murders. The typical behaviour of the ANC government, and therefore the near-sycophantic media such as BBC and CNN, is to report that far more Black people are murdered than White Farmers. Well, finally we have here an Englishman who has managed to see through the “eyewash” the government and media are spraying on his face. He states openly that this BBC/CNN kind of “spin” (my words) is “disingenuous”:

We were based in Pretoria and drove out to venues east of the city to meet politicians, police stations, farmers union leaders, farm watch organisers, race relations organisations, private investigators and, of course, survivors of farm attacks. To put the problem in perspective, the murder rate in most countries is under five people per 100,000 of the population, in South Africa as a whole it is ten per 100,000 and for White farmers it is 132 per 100,000.

Further down the article, he states:

Police numbers are inadequate due to budget constraints and they themselves get killed in urban gang conflicts to the tune of 50 per 100,000 per year.

So, in order to get these numbers straight,

  • Out of every 100,000 South Africans, ten are killed every year.
  • Out of every 100,000 Policemen, around 50 are killed every year.
  • Out of every 100,000 White Farmers, 132 are killed every year.

The Nature of the Farm Attacks.

Mr. Agnew then makes the nature of the horror very clear when he describes the actual farm attacks:

The third category ‘racial terrorism and genocide’ involves gratuitous sadism prior to assassination. Terrorists will break into a property and wait for the arrival of a White person(s). Tortures include burning after being doused in fuel, emersion of limbs in scalding water, being ‘ironed’ with a hot electric iron,being drilled through hands and feet with an electric drill, conventional rapes and rapes using broom handles or broken bottles. A baby was microwaved.

I can add that they have also drowned children in boiling water and, more recently, covered the victims’ heads in cloth and then poured boiling water over the cloth. I do not even know where to list cases in which victims had 151 stab wounds. It has become a competition for who can be most savage and brutal. It is Open Season on White Farmers in South Africa.

I think every farmer and decent human being in South Africa owes Stuart Agnew a huge debt of gratitude for having the depth of character to report the dead simple truth that has been outlawed by the Formal Media, such as CNN and the BBC.

To my American readers I would say, you have just seen how your media could get away with lying  over and over and over for two years about President Trump, a man who you have on your TV almost every single day and whose career you have followed for years. IMAGINE how they can lie about a small nation of largely Protestant Caucasian Christians being wiped out 8,000 miles away from your front door. They have lied to you FOR DECADES about South Africa. You need to start taking them to task on that subject, because those people being killed are your closest cousins on Earth.

Katie Hopkins the New Emily Hobhouse?

African National Congress (ANC), Afrikaners, Farm Attacks, Land expropriation without compensation

— Katie Hopkins has somehow become South Africa’s new Emily Hobhouse.

In 1901, the British Powers that Be would not believe what was happening in the British Army concentration camps in South Africa.  Afrikaner women, children and elderly were herded into these camps after the British Army had dynamited their homes, burnt their crops, and killed all their livestock. In reality, the picture below is what was happening. It shows Elizabeth van Zyl dying from malnourishment because she was put on half-rations due to her father not having surrendered. Of my Booyens relations who entered those camps, 57% died there.

Only when an Englishwoman of some Character and Principle visited the camps and disclosed the horror to the British people was anything done to reduce the death rate in the camps. She was Emily Hobhouse (below). She became an advocate for the human rights of the Afrikaner women and children. A deeply thankful Afrikaner nation eventually interred her remains at the Women’s Memorial in Bloemfontein, South Africa and named a town in that Province after her.

Now, 120 years later, the Afrikaner is in dire need of help again, and again it is the Western World and its vile Media, just as in 1899, that have connived to force on the White Afrikaner the horrors that are happening in South Africa. And again it is a concerned Englishwoman who is standing up and getting counted despite all the forces arrayed against her. I know Katie can be extremely “rough” by the standards that Afrikaners live by, but she is fighting some extremely vile forces that want Afrikaners dead, and one cannot fight an all-consuming fire with pixie dust.

I submit Katie Hopkins has become the Afrikaners’ new Emily Hobhouse.

The image below shows the Women’s memorial in Bloemfontein, South Africa.

I trust Katie understands how thankful this little nation is for her efforts on their behalf. Just watch her describe on a Dutch TV programme the situation of the Afrikaner and the principled stand of the farmers; to her the situation is “Biblical” and one sees her emotion on the subject. I also submit that the Dutch might want to ponder how it is that the “New Emily Hobhouse” is not one of their own ladies. They are, after all, the ancestral nation of the Afrikaners and the originators of the language of the Afrikaners.

Katie is right. Thank you for having a heart, ma’am.

On Standing up and getting Counted

African National Congress (ANC), Donald Trump, Farm Attacks, Stuart Agnew, UK Independence Party

— Stuart Agnew is a Member of the European Parliament for the Eastern Counties (of England) constituency. More particularly, he is a member of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), the party formerly led by the very vocal Nigel Farage, who spearheaded Britain’s agreed exit from the European Union.

He visited South Africa in the last few days, along with a European Parliament colleague, Danilo Lancini of the Lega Party in Italy. The Lega party is rapidly gaining support in the ruling coalition government. The two-man delegation met in South Africa with Advocate Anton Alberts of the Freedom Front Plus. Alberts commented that both visitors were visibly shocked at the circumstances in South Africa:

The disbelief on their faces is something that I will never forget. Even though Europe and Britain are under immense political and social pressure, they did not think that things could get this bad in a country like South Africa.

The delegation undertook to take these matters up with the EU Parliament. Mr Lancini also committed to take up the subject of the outrages in South Africa  specifically with the Italian government.

Read more HERE.

It is heartening to see Europeans standing up and getting counted. Thus far, not a single North American Congressman has so much as uttered a word on the subject of South Africa. Of course President Trump has spoken on the subject, but he was met with a torrent of derision in the United States. Perhaps the situation is separating the men from the boys? Americans should take note. A few honourable Europeans and Brits are taking a stand, while the American politicians, except for President Trump and John Sullivan, his Deputy Secretary of State, are nowhere to be found.

Why the silence boys? You were quick to vote en masse to overturn president Reagan’s veto of comprhensive sanctions against South Africa in the late eighties.  How about you do the right thing for a change and pressure the voilently racist ANC regime in South Africa? What was that about sauce and geese and ganders again….? Need I remind you that the old National Party government did not preach the killing of Black people from a stage; but the present Black parliamentarians do exactly that regarding Whites?

Mr. Agnew has gone so far as to publicise the South African situation on his political website.

We have here a man separated from the boys, think you not?

The Afrikaner Boer to Inspire the West – Katie Hopkins

Afrikaners, Donald Trump, Farm Attacks, Land expropriation without compensation, South Africa, United States

— In a presentation at the David Horowitz Freedom Center Restoration Weekend  in November 2018 in Sherman Oaks, California, the firebrand British Conservative, Katie Hopkins, talked about the threat to the values of the West. I am not as “Far Right” as Katie, but near the end of her presentation she posed a question, “What can we put our faith in?“. And this is when she turned to her experience in South Africa early in 2018. She found her inspiration in the Faith that the Afrikaner Boer (farmer) has in his God and his Land. And it is inspiring to hear her speak with such passion and conviction on the subject. Click on that link and listen!

She did warn in the previous year that she was going to spend time with South African farmers, and she did.

I have to say that I never thought I would live to experience the day that an Englishwoman would find her Faith and inspiration via the ordinary Afrikaner Boer; the men who really created South Africa out of the unforgiving blood-soaked rock of Africa.

That country is now being utterly destroyed by the “former” Listed Terrorist Organization that is now its government. Those farmers live in fear of their and their families’ lives every minute of every day. At the same time, that “government” threatens them every minute of every day. Thousands have been murdered, many of them tortured to death, the most threatened group of people in the most dangerous place supposedly “at peace” on earth.

To Americans I say, perhaps President Trump could similarly take inspiration from these men of Faith who stand so solidly by their convictions on the Outer Wall of Civilization. As Katie rightly says, they are a glimpse into the future of the West. The forces now destroying the White people of South Africa are coming for Europe and North America.

Consider yourselves warned.

White Farmer Killings & Persecutions, South Africa

African National Congress (ANC), Afrikaners, Farm Attacks, Land expropriation without compensation

— On 27 February 2019 I did an interview with Sarah Westall on the subject of what is going on in South Africa. We were let down somewhat by the vagaries of Skype, which always seems to cough and splutter just when a clear transmission is imperative; this despite my high technology equipment.

The interview comes in two parts and was posted yesterday:
PART 1
PART 2

Sarah’s webpage on the subject is HERE.

For those who would like to have later history addressed, I’d be entirely happy to continue the discussion. We really only got as far as 1814. I personally believe one of the basic problems in South Africa to be that many people seem to think the history of the country starts in 1948. By the middle of 1990 most of the discriminatory laws on the ground had been repealed.  In fact, the period from 1948 to 1990 is no more than about 11% of the history of the country since the Dutch arrived. I submit it is important to understand the other 89% of that history and I’d welcome the opportunity to discuss this…. warts and all.

But here’s the thing, and there is no way to get around it:

  • It took 320 years to build the country;
  • It took 18 years for the international community to grind it into the ground ;
  • It took three years of subsequent political mayhem; and then
  • it took the ANC government just 25 years to destroy the results of 320 years’ worth of hard work handed to them on a silver platter.

Along the way we had a stupid and insensitive White government. But it was competent. Now the place has a stupid and insensitive Black government, and it is incompetent.

The thing is, I do not remember White National Party leaders dancing on stage singing “Shoot to kill! Kiss/ll the Black, the Ba’Ntu! P-r-r-r-r pow! pow!“.  In fact, I have no evidence that they could dance at all. I do not remember the National Party accusing Black nations of stealing the land of others, even though they DID EXACTLY THAT. I do not remember the National Party accusing Black South Africans of enslaving other South Africans, though the SA Black people DID DO EXACTLY THAT. Yet White South Africans have to hear this “land theft” stuff from a national president whose own people arrived in South Africa at the same time as the Dutch. — go figure!!

So, sure! Let’s talk about it!

— On Sunday 3 March 2019 I joind BIll Cundiff and Erin Ryan of WeThePeopleRadio for two hours on the above subject. Matters are now clearly escalating rapidly in South Africa. I had American radio or video interviews on three different days of last week, and yet again later today. The full interview with Erin and Bill may be heard HERE and covers the the content of my previous post, The Hour of our Need is Arrived.

I received a note back from these good folks and I share part of it here:

We feel very honored to help you sound the alarm for the wonderful people of South Africa. Please tell those with whom you communicate that we pray for them every day.

African National Congress (ANC), Cyril Ramaphosa, Julius Malema, Land expropriation without compensation, South Africa, United States

■ The Crisis in South Africa reaches the US Border

—The first ever White South African farmer and his family have asked for asylum at the US border with Mexico. After waiting in a Mexican holding facility for three weeks, they met with US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and spent three days in the custody of that agency. Over that period they had extensive interviews, including a “Credible Fear Test”, which they apparently passed. Their daughter, a minor, was questioned for two hours without the presence of her parents. They have been paroled into the custody of friends in the US without having to wear ankle bracelets for tracking. Based on what Customs & Border Patrol learnt in the process, the family has been allowed to at least APPLY for asylum. There is a long road ahead for them, but they have done it all the correct way as far as the United States authorities are concerned. They did not jump a fence. They were not handled by “Coyotes”. They did not clash with ICE in any way. They simply presented themselves properly to Customs and Border Patrol and asked for asylum from those who threaten their existence.

The attorney helping them (below) has made a video and provides some background. Listen to her for a description of what happened to this family in South Africa.

While I, Harry Booyens, have not personally heard of such cases as theirs in South Africa (yet), their claims as to the events that transpired in South Africa sound entirely credible in the current climate in that country. I am in no position to confirm their specific claims. However, I defer to a body of people better placed to assess the veracity of their story, namely, Customs and Border Patrol, who should be able to sniff out liars, cheats, and chancers by now.

I do not know the identity of the family and I would under no circumstances divulge it if I knew. The reason is simple. The moment their name is known, the Communist controlled ANC government in South Africa, along with their staunch allies, the BBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, the New York Times and the Washington Post, will start to assail the character of the family and that Government will serve a demarche on the US Ambassador to South Africa demanding any possible asylum be withdrawn. Again, without me getting into the specifics of a case, the ANC Government did that in Canada and the Canadian Conservative Party, of all organizations, rolled over, suing its own Refugee Board to reverse a decision. As you well know, white people in North America only have to hear the word “racist” in a sentence somewhere on the horizon, before they will drop their guns, throw away their shoes, and run for their very lives in the four wind directions, no matter what the truth or reality or the nature of the party uttering that word. As to the formal media, always remember Lenin was a newspaperman and the first issue in December 1900 of his newspaper, Iskra (below), had an article on South Africa’s white Afrikaner people.

■ The World was Warned

When my book AmaBhulu was published in February 2014, I warned that South Africa was 5 years away from its racial crisis point. I also warned that the United States would unavoidably be dragged into it. My prediction was disturbingly accurate. The above family arrived in Mexico on 15 January 2019 and saw CBP in February 2019, almost exactly five years after publication of the book. The new South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa, first made his announcements about Expropriation without Compensation (EWC) of the Property of white people (Legalized theft of the property of Whites) at roughly the four year mark in early 2018. Seven months later, in November 2018, the South African Parliament approved moving forward with EWC.

The ordinary hard-working and award-winning white commercial farmers in South Africa, such as Abraham C. van Wyk and his wife Lizelle (below), are the equivalent of the Kansas corn-farmers of the United States. Men like Abraham and his ancestors before him, working this soil since the 1850s, figured out the all-important dryland farming science in a countryside where indigenous Black people never farmed in history because they never knew how.

Ramaphosa is, of course, the protégé and “favored child” of Mandela, who has since been revealed to have been a central member of the Politburo of the South African Communist Party (SACP) all along. You can see:

(1) the media dodging around the issue HERE in 2012 when Mandela was still alive,

(2) Award winning post-apartheid author Rian Malan addressing it objectively based on the ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT of Mandela’s autobiography HERE in 2014, soon after his death, and you can see

(3) the South African Communist Party admitting his membership HERE, the moment he was dead in December 2013 (See the fifth paragraph in that link).

■ One of the Oldest Communist Parties on earth

The SACP is one of the very oldest Communist Parties on earth, originally founded largely on expatriates from the Baltic States, particularly Lithuania, and on expatriate Welsh coal miners. The founding organizations of the party were, according to A. Davidson et al (South Africa and the Communist International, Vol.1, p. 69 (2003)):

• The International Socialist League of South Africa;
• the Poalei-Zion (linked to the international Marxist Jewish organization of the same name);
• the Jewish Socialist Party of the Cape;
• the Marxian Club (from Durban);
• the Communist Party of the Cape;
and individuals from the Labour Party of South Africa.

The Lithuanian influence has remained to this day (See for example Ronnie Kasrils, the white man singing “Kill the Whites” in that video, and trained to the level of brigadier in Odessa by the Soviet Army).

In 1927, James Laguma became the first Black South African Communist to visit the Comintern in the Soviet Union. On his very next visit, he took with him Josiah Gumede, the president of the African National Congress (ANC), which is now the government in South Africa. South Africa, while having a parliament, is de facto governed outside parliament by the “Tri-partite Alliance” of the ANC, the Communist Party, and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU-read “Black unions”). The Communist Party does not contest elections, it just festers in the middle of the ANC, providing its Brains Trust. Due to the massive majority of the ANC in parliament, they make all their decisions outside parliament and simply take them to parliament for rubber-stamping.

■ This will become your problem, Dear America.

There is no real Democracy in South Africa, but its utterly irrelevant parliament (see above) makes excellent YouTube entertainment. Of course a few deluded whites cling to its benches in the rather naive belief that they are doing something useful beyond filling YouTube channels with the joke of the day. It is time they walked out of that place to discredit it. Their presence makes them complicit in its excesses. I do not understand why they feel welcome in Parliament if the people they represent no longer feel welcome in South Africa. This scene should tell the reader everything.

When one adds to the above the claim that none of the land obtained by the government from white farmers has been transferred by title to black farmers since 2009, then it becomes quite clear that what the world is looking at is straight-out nationalization of property. That government already owns a massive portion of the country. In this respect, a black South African farmer recently sued the ANC government for the title to his land. Furthermore, Black non-profit organizations are admitting that 90% of land given to Black people is going to wrack and ruin. How is this place going to feed 50 million people given the marginal nature of its major grain-growing areas? What will happen when Abraham van Wyk above gives up and leaves or is driven off his farm?

This will become YOUR PROBLEM, dear America. You are warned.

■ The truth cannot be hidden anymore

When a locally focused US news medium, such as Tri-State Livestock News , based out of Belle Fourche in South Dakota, reports with specifics on the horror in South Africa, then we have all moved past the point where folks can claim ignorance because they did not see it on CNN or CBS. And matters have already moved far beyond the point of the report in this link. I’ve never been to Belle Fourche, but I have been through nearby Spearfish. I can tell you the South Dakota folks can tell right from wrong and have a handshake that means something.

■ a window on the future of the United States

South Africa has been the Canary in the Coal Mine of the West for a long time. In the 20th century, it was to Africa what the USA was to the wider world. Just as people tried to get into the USA by any means, just so Black people braved man-eating lions to get into apartheid South Africa while their own governments attacked South Africa night and day. You were told the whites were racist pigs and that South African Black people could fundamentally do no wrong, even when Mandela’s men bombed the apartment complex where my mother lived in the early 1980s killing white women and children (below).

This was done to the “sound of violins played” by the formal US media, then the only source of news. In the 1980s, while South Africa was run by Western people, Robert Mugabe to the North remained well-behaved. The moment those Civilized men lost control of their country under Western pressure, Mugabe showed his true colors. But the West lost interest, and ran at the first mention of the word “racist”. The “Biblical Pontius Pilate”, in the form of Britain, looked on in silence, having washed its hands, frozen in terror at the possibility of being called “racist”.

Mugabe’s world has now arrived in South Africa. The world can now see what happens under such an onslaught to those who know how to efficiently and effectively run advanced economies, sophisticated industries, advanced financial institutions, high-tech establishments, and complex networked infrastructure, such as water and electricity supplies and communications, not to mention sewage systems. The country’s water infrastructure is collapsing, electricity blackouts (below) roll like Biblical Egyptian Plagues over the country, Crime is completely out of hand, raw sewage is spilling into the Vaal River, and white people live all day in fear of their lives. And all this happens to the never-ending violin music from the Mainstream Media, still patting themselves on the back for having lied apartheid out of existence some 29 years ago. They can’t get suitably over themselves to see the truth right now. Perhaps a CNN reporter has to have the dead and broken body of a tortured white farmer draped over his shoulders to notice…and then I still doubt that they would report. They’ll say he “fell”. As the Communist professor once told me to my face,

You should just die.

■ Can a Black skin save one from this Blight?

A few weeks ago a Black landowner in South Africa discovered that his farm had been invaded by what he took to be squatters. When he went to investigate, someone had put up a corrugated iron shack from which that person was selling portions of the man’s land at around $45 a piece. They chased away the owner, but on another approach he was offered a 20 by 20 yard piece of his own land for free. A friend of his, in a stroke of ironic genius, suggested he seek the help of Afriforum, the White Afrikaner Civil Rights organization. Afriforum took the case, got a court order, and then, to physically remove the invading squatters, they secured the help of a private security operation called the Red Ants. The Police had refused to do anything. The Black landowner, Dr. Motodi Maserumule (below), was lucky. The father in the family of white asylum seekers claims he was assaulted by the Police when he went to ask their help. I am inclined to believe him, based on several other documented events of that nature.

■ A Race to the Bottom

What we are witnessing, is a country, once civilized, where the basic Rule of Law is breaking down, because the basic Civilization underpinning it is collapsing. The Police are themselves the source of a considerable portion of the crime in the country. This is the culture created by Mandela’s Party, the ANC. I confidently predict that these ANC creatures will eventually die at the hand of their own. This is a race to the bottom. The question is, which will happen first, (1) destruction of the country and Southern Africa with it, or (2) destruction of the support base of the ANC? And who will survive it all? It is purely a matter of time before someone “loses it”, and resorts to violence. The fuse is lit and burning…and if that “bomb”goes off, it is going to take at least six independent countries, Lesotho, Swaziland, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Mocambique, with it and severely affect a whole lot more.

■ Obama’s America on Steroids – Petri Dish of all Woes

South Africa is essentially Barack Obama’s America on steroids. After all, he, Obama (below), was very open about how inspired he was by South Africa. He even appointed Mandela’s ghostwriter to his administration. The country is like a giant Petri dish in which the woes afflicting the Western World are nurtured and can grow and metastasize rapidly. Those woes may therefore be studied in detail, like a bug under a microscope. It will show you what happens when civilized men lose control of their country. Rather than wait for a Socialist government in the United States, which will steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from you and kill your culture and future, and defraud you of your heritage, you can spend $1500 now and go and see NON-Tourist South Africa.

Spend a week on a farm with a family there, or with someone in a small town in the east of the country. It is bound to cure you of all your delusions. It will, in particular, cure you of any Liberal White Guilt psychosis that seems to afflict the USA to such a degree that it sometimes cannot think straight enough to save its own life.

I was recently told by an American host that I was originally perceived as possibly alarmist, but that I am now seen as a sage. My predictions were correct, not because I am clairvoyant or brilliantly intelligent, but because I come from South Africa, where vicious reality is IN YOUR FACE, morning, noon and night. One does not need much intelligence or clairvoyance to know what’s going to happen.

■ My Basic Faith in Americans

All my life I have had unshakable faith in the basic good judgment of Americans and the pre-amble to the Declaration of Independence. I have been criticized for that, but where else can one find 330 million people devoted to hard work and progress with a fundamental ability to tell wrong from right? All they need, is a good dose of reality to shake the delusions out of their woodwork, and that costs around $1500. Go take a look at the Second America, being South Africa, and then change the direction of your country. The alternative is that you just sit there and do nothing until what happened to us happens to you. Your future is yours to grab with both hands. And in the process, I beg you spare a thought for and stretch out a hand to your nearest cousins on Earth, the South Africans, who share your history. To quote from the introductory paragraph of an address on 6 June 1966 in Cape Town, South Africa, by none other than the late Bobby Kennedy (below):

“I come here this evening because of my deep interest and affection for

a land settled by the Dutch in the mid-seventeenth century,

then taken over by the British,

and at last independent; […]

a land which defined itself on a hostile frontier;

a land which has tamed rich natural resources through the energetic application of modern technology […]

I refer, of course, to the United States of America.”

He used those words knowing they applied verbatim to both countries. After all, the boss of the famous Admiral Nelson called South Africa “The Second America”, and my own 100% South African wife’s ancestor was the first American immigrant to South Africa in 1666. Unfortunately, Kennedy went on to draw other utterly misplaced and incriminating parallels that did not apply; someone had got the homework wrong on the rest.

■ The Hour of Our Need is arrived

Ever since 1914 we have reported for duty in the Hour of Need of the West. We were There. In WWI, when the Allies needed help, my South African family was there. We flew the airplanes and did the dying. My wife’s family lost members during  the Battle of the Somme in the Battle of Delville Wood. Jan Smuts, an Afrikaner kid like myself helped Britain and insisted on the creation of the world’s first independent Air Force, the Royal Air Force.

In WWII, when the Allies needed help, we were there. My father-in-law (left) flew his Spitfire to protect the US Ground Troops in Italy. He was shot down twice for his pains. My youngest great-uncle was a dispatch rider in Italy, after helping to defeat Rommel. An Afrikaner kid like myself, by the name of Sailor Malan, was one of Britain’s most famous air aces in the Battle of Britain. Scale models of Malan are still on the market today! It was even formally suggested that the Afrikaner Jan Smuts should take the place of Winston Churchill as British Prime Minister if the latter were to die during WWII.

When the call went out for help with the terrible Warsaw Airlift, we were there. We did the dying, flying US-built B-24 Liberator heavy bombers (below) out of Italy. Two South African squadrons served on those missions, but a number of the British Royal Air Force squadrons were also manned by South Africans who ended up simply being called “British”. They were “kids” with my background. And they flew into hell at 500 feet off the ground. 248 of them did not return. More can be read HERE. The Poles erected a memorial to them.

When the US asked for help in Korea, our veteran WWII pilots were there and flew as part of the US Air Force contingent, first in P-51 Mustangs and later in F-86 Sabres (below). Policy Order No.13 of the 18th USAF Fighter-Bomber Wing required that the first few bars of the South African anthem be played before the US anthem was played; this “In Memory of our Gallant South African Comrades”.

Thirty-four South African Flying Cheetahs gave their lives alongside their American buddies, mostly in P51 Mustangs. These were men just like my father-in-law above. With this background, I make the following appeal to all decent and honourable Americans, and those in the Rest of the West who have a sense of honour:

Now the Hour of Our Need is arrived and we beg you hear the Cry of our People.
