The day of the Vow

The day of the Vow | TPP #25

Күн бұрын

Every day on the 16th of December Afrikaners all over the world commemorate the Battle of Blood River and the Vow that the Afrikaners (at the time known as the Voortrekkers) made in 1838. At the Battle of Blood River a group of 470 Voortrekkers were surrounded and attacked by a Zulu force of about 12 000 soldiers. In the run-up to the battle, the Afrikaners made a vow to God that if He were to protect us in the looming battle, that we would commemorate this day in future as a day of thanksgiving like a Sabbath - a tradition held to this very day.
In this episode I focus on the events of this day and also discuss where we find ourselves today and why the Afrikaner people are doing much better now than several decades ago.

Andrê , not sure of your relevance ( if any ) , but today's not a good day for crappy comments. Our country needs you to build rather than to criticise those who are actively making contributions. Would be delighted to hear your contribution to solutions for our children's future. Maybe you could start by justifying your stance and detailing your efforts to get this country moving forward. Not all of us can be Rob Hersovs, but would strongly suggest you put a hand on the spanner instead of putting a spanner in the works of those who love this country and are active in promoting good governance.

Ek is n kleurling vrou, van Johannesburg, ek verlang na die ou dae. Let me switch to being English, the streets were clean, crime was low, we had jobs, no influx from across the borders, there was order. Our Education was the best. I worked for “ NATIONAL COOPERATIVE DAIRIES “ they were in Mayfair JHB, as a computronic operator in the 1960’s I went further to work for Nedbank on Commissioner Street in JHB. I am a woman in my seventies. I will emphatically say there was no country in the world that could compare with SOUTH AFRICA her culture, food, hospitality and respecting our elders and each other. Why are black Americans calling it the mother land. It’s not theirs, they are opportunists, coming into South Africa making KZbin channels making as if they belong and we do not. South African Afrikaner work hard do not give up what rightfully belongs to you and us that help build this country. A story for another day my father did a lot for South Africa. he played a major role in the coloured communities, coloured people started working in Banks, Insurance companies and lots more. He had long gone was never acknowledged for his work. If you do wish I could email and talk about?

@@alberthapienaar1968 Hi Albertha Pienaar? I hope you are aware of this: a sad inclusion into the 'Afrikaner hiStory is this: some fair skinned Coloureds were persuaded in 1948 to 'Try for White' so they could get ID books and be re-Classified as 'White", allowing the Afrikaner to beat the British at the 1948 general Election.. - some such people grew up with us in the dusty streets of 3 co-Located areas in Pretoria: Cape Coloured Reserve or Cape Location, so named after Paul Kruger established a Location for Cape Coloureds, next to Asiatic Bazaar, next to Marabastad , so named after the 'Native Chief Maraba'.. so jammer dat nie al die 'suiwer wit bloed' wat deel is van die Afrikaners Kultuur, nie eintlik so 'onsuldig en 'rein-wit' is nie? Kom ons neem ALLE KOMPONENTE van die volle waarheid in ag, God het mos immers die waarheid lief? Onthou, ek stel myself voor as a 'bruin Afrikaner van Griekwa herkoms' so SA het 'n lang pad om te stap na TRUE RECONCILIATION.. all nations belong to the human race..as early as 1941 the Atlancitc Charter attempted to describe a world of 'Human Rights' for co-existence.. read it, it gives great insight on SA's failings to accept other races & ethnic groupings...GLOBALLY.

One of my ancestors was wounded at Blood River. My Grandmother was born in a British concentration camp. The women and children ended up there after their farm has been sacked and burnt three times by British troops. The first two times, my family were protected and hidden by the workers on the farm. One of the great tragedies of the Afrikaner is that after 1994, the ANC were actually very wary of the Afrikaners as a force to be reckoned with, but our own people let us down, we did not stand together, we allowed ourselves to be split into interest groups or we were too occupied by our day-to-day lives and did not "help-mekaar", by joining together and becoming a real force to be reckoned with. Maybe this can change in the future, but I see no signs of this happening. The huge institutions that were built up by the Afrikaners have been destroyed and those that remain simply act as bottom-line focused businesses with no interest in the Afrikaner. Cry the beloved country.

As a descendent of Dutch farmers, who came into the country in the 1650's, French entrepreneurs who fled France as refugees and became soldiers for the Dutch East India Company, 1820 settlers and captains of merchant ships, A British soldier who came to South Africa Asa policeman, but joined the permanent force living in Cape Town Castle among many other roots, I was both English and Afrikaans but many so called Afrikaners rejected my family because of our surname. It was easier to adopt English as my mother tongue in spite of my mother being an Afrikaner. So although I am proud of my heritage, the failure of the Afrikaner in acceptance of the definition of those who make up the Afrikaner people is probably the biggest contributor to failure of the culture.

... that "bad and unsustainable idea" was premissed on the broader program to BUILD industrial zones closer to the various regions where indiginous peoples lived i.e. Homelands, with the purpose to not disrupt traditional family life. The premise to respect the customary differences and regions, in additional to inalienable rights and the right to self determination. The pass laws were not intended to obstruct migration, to limit access to education nor to deprive people of employment opportunities in South Africa. The pass laws were an essential regulatory mechanism to regulate the movements of undesirable individuals. As with every Institutional mechanism the system could be abused. But, the unique form of segregation called apartheid as envisaged by Verwoerd sought to uplift ALL citizens in the Republic while shielding citizens within our borders. Nationalism is an important and most powerful force. Our enemies and those with divided loyalties work tirelessly to undermine it. Remember, South Africa is older than the America's!

Ulgh 🤦🏽 wat probeer jy bereik? Gaan jy na Afrikaanse mense se geslagsregisters begin kyk en as hulle voorvaders aan die verkeerde kan val, dan gaan jy hulle kinders haat daarvoor? Wil jy ons verdeel wanneer ons juis moet saam staan? 🤦🏽

The Afrikaner culture does have a lot of admirable qualities. It was, after all, born out of Western Europe, the most advanced civilisation in the history of man. One fatal flaw, it seems to me, is the attitude of many Afrikaners toward non-Afrikaner peoples. In a word, racism. For many of them, the only thing wrong with South Africa today is that "we are no longer in charge." They have not learned anything. They genuinely believe that having a political system in which the citizens are not equal under the law (with the Afrikaner on top, of course) is the only way. If your ancestors had used their power to promote moderate racial policies instead of racial oppression, they would have created a situation in which the majority of the South African population were able to assimilate the best aspects of Western education and contribute at all levels of society. That way, when the blacks eventually took over, there would be no grinding of the gears, and the country could still continue to prosper. It seems to me that people who claim the Bible as their guidebook should also heed the greatest commandment in the Bible: love your neighbour as yourself. Doing so will help you to make friends instead of enemies.

Ernst the defeat of the Boer War (1899-1901), proved in reality to be a great victory for the Afrikaner. The Union of 1910 just 9 years later saw government of the two Afrikaner Republics and two former British colonies determined by white men, of which Afrikaners were a majority. How surprised would the voortrekkers have been at that outcome ? The 1931 Statute of Westminster granted South Africa full legislative independence making South Africa a fully independent country. A tale of suffering yes, as have so many nations, but victory attained beyond the ambitions of anyone like Paul Kruger and Afrikaners in general. Let us not join the global progressive politics of historical victim ideology. Discriminated against today , yes.- that is relevant. Where are the global anti-racism campaigners? Sadly post 1994 brings unprecedented challenges, but your approach of self-reliance is the way forward.

Same people but, as Ernst explained, the rebellion of 1914 caused tension and division in their midst. Some people have very long memories. Stubbornness and klipkoppigheid (stone heads) let some people still cling to those very painful days. Some descendants of the rebels call themselves Boers (although they are Afrikaners) and the rest are Afrikaners (although they are also proud of the term Boers). The term Boer is - of course - derived from the fact that the early Afrikaners were almost everyone a farmer. I may also add that people who call themselves Boers (and not Afrikaners) are dissatisfied with a peaceful, calm and respectful approach to a solution where a small minority must survive against seemingly insurmountable odds without losing their identity (which is diverse in itself). They want a more aggressive approach whatever it may be. I am not sure they themselves know what such an approach should entail.

Boer or Afrikaner, makes no difference. Without us coming together and support one another, both will cease to exist. So I would advice quiting squabling about that. Their will always be traitors in any group and situation. Get over it, and work towards a future.
