I and one of my employees who is at the retiring age had an open discussion about what has happened and is still going to take place in South Africa.
What he said to me made my hair stand on end and the way he explained it one needs to take note.
“You as white people do not have the guts to stand together for what you believe is right.
“Can you organise a protest that may turn violent and you do not have to take the blame or pay for any damages? We can and you will pay for the damages,” were some of the things he said.
“Basic human rights mentioned in the Constitution are not for white people because if it were you, you would not allow us to take away your mother-tongue language, education (will become more difficult for Afrikaners) healthcare, employment, land, TV programmes, businesses, free movement (e-tolls), money via taxes and finally your right to vote.
“Who will you vote for in time to come? You will not vote for a black party so you will stay away. You need to pay so that we can have things for free,” he continued.
I asked him what would happen if there is nothing left and his answer was, “Then we have to the fight to become free people and we can then live like our forefathers before 1652 off the land and free from colonial influences”.
This is scary but true.
