From One Genocide to the Next
Open Letter from Rudi Prinsloo, of Die Nuwe Suid Afrika; to John Minto, New Zealands Anti-Apartheid Activist Expert, who only recently visited South Africa for the first time -- doesn't seem to take much 'expertise' to be an 'expert' in New Zealand.
Mr John Minto,Read more »
You are a true activist in every sense of the word. You have dedicated your life to the causes you believe in, and I for one can tell from observation, that you are truly passionate about your beliefs and that you work tirelessly to uplift the groups and people that you support. This is the mark of a real man and I respect you for that. Interestingly enough, both friends and enemies of the late Eugene Terre'blanche have attributed the same qualities to him.
Having been at the forefront of the anti-apartheid struggle movement in New Zealand since the early days, it is no wonder that New Zealanders turn to you for moral guidance whenever political and social events in South Africa draw the attention of the international media.
It is for the above reasons that I am writing this letter to you because I believe that it places a great responsibility on you to give New Zealanders an accurate and balanced report. What follows are some undiluted facts about the current dire situation in South Africa and around the murder of Eugene Terre'blanche.
1) The youth leader of the ruling ANC party, Julius Malema, has been, and continues to promote, extreme hatred amongst his followers against the already marginalised Afrikaner minority by his public speeches and the singing of controversial songs which include the words "Kill the Boer".
2) The ANC leadership refuses to condemn these actions, and are actively trying to overturn a court ruling banning the song.
3) As a very small minority, the Afrikaners have no means of defence as they have been largely disarmed and have no political influence any more.
