Die Anglo Boere Oorlog In Beeld 1899-1902 – Johannes Meintjies

Uit My Eie Hart

In total there were 31 concentration camps. In most cases, the adjoining cemeteries are still in existence and are visited as often as possible by Boer people to mentally condition themselves to continue their struggle towards freedom.

There were concentration camps at: Irene, Barberton, Volksrust, Belfast, Klerksdorp, Pietersburg, Potchefstroom, Vereeniging, Turffontein, Balmoral, Nylstroom, Standerton, Heilbron, Kimberley, Bloemfontein, Middelburg, Kroonstad, Heidelberg, Krugersdorp, Vryburg, Vredefort, Brandfort, Springfontein, Bethulie, Norvalspont, Port Elizabeth, Aliwal North, Merebank, Pinetown, Howick and Pietermaritzburg.

ek ruik die bloed

my Afrika

wat teen speek afdrup en hardword

in jou ongenaakbare son

waar my mense doodle in ‘n sloot

of huis

ek ruik jou wreedheid

is dit ons lot

o God

of is ons net te sag

vir hierdie moordenaarskontinent

SP Kruger (1825-1904), miskien die grootste van alle Boere, was ‘n fisieke en intellektuele reus.  Vir baie mense was hy skynbaar ‘n anachronisme, ondanks die feit dat die res van die weeld hom moontlik beskou het as iemand met geen fyn maniere nie.  Hierdie beskouing was deels as gevolg van ‘n vooroordeel teenoor die Boere, en na die stigting van Johannesburg het die verkleinering al hoe venyniger en meer algemeen geword.

Vir president Kruger, wat as streng Calvinis, Johannesburg as ‘n onheilsnes beskou het, was die Uitlanders ‘n groot probleem.  Die nuwe bevolking het beslis griewe gehad en eise gestel, maar miskien was Kruger se grootste vrees dat sy eie mense verswelg en selfs sy eie regering deur die Uitlanders uitgestoot kon word.

Uiters streng beperkings is dus op die stemreg geplaas wat dit vir die Uitlanders moeilik gemaak het om die stemreg in Transvaal te verkry.  Kruger het verder tot sy ongewildheid onder die Uitlanders bygedra deur aan te dring op sy reg om volgens eie goeddunke monopoliee toe te staan.

1. Today, the numbers of the Boerevolk are at least 3 million less that it would have been, had the English not committed genocide on the Boerevolk. This robs our people of our right to self-determination in the new so-called democratic system. (In truth, democracy means government by the people and not government by the rabble as is presently the case in South Africa.”)
2. The holocaust, together with treason committed by Afrikaners (take note: not Boere) such as Jan Smuts and Louis Botha, forced the Boerevolk to sign the peace accord of Vereeniging which deprived our volk of its freedom.
3. The alien and inferior British culture was forced onto our people.
4. The various indigenous peoples of South Africa were insensitively bundled into one Union without giving a thought to their respective identities and right to self-determination.
5. As in the case of the Boerevolk, the local black nations were effectively robbed of their freedom, which gave rise to the establishment of the ANC in 1912 (two years after the foundation of the Union) to struggle for black nationalism.
6. The British system of apartheid, which they applied all over the world (for instance also in India, Australia and New-Zealand), had to be imported to control the mixed population. The first manifestation of this were signs reading “Europeans” and “Non-Europeans”. No Boer ever regarded himself as a “European”. Apartheid invoked racial friction and even racial hatred which has in no means abated to this very day, and the bitter irony is that the Boerevolk, who had not been in power since 1902 and who also suffered severely under apartheid in the sense that apartheid robbed them of their land and their work-ethics, are being blamed for apartheid today.
7. England’s pretence for the invasion was the rights of the foreign miners. Yet after the war, these very same miners were treated so badly by their English and Jewish bosses that they had to resort to general strikes in 1913 and 1922 (3 and 12 years after the establishment of the British ruled Union), during which many mine-workers were shot dead in the streets of Johannesburg by the British disposed Union government. So much for the rights of the foreign miners under English rule.
8. The efficient and equitable republican system of government of the Boer Republics was replaced with the unworkable Westminster system of government, which led to endless misery and conflict.
