P W Both & F W De Klerk were also of at least partial Boer descent but they were so acculturated into Afrikanerdom & viewed themselves as Afrikaners even to the point of working against Boer aspirations & goals. The un-reconstructed Boers like Robert van Tonder were prevented from rising too high in the political order as established by the Afrikaner Broederbond. The point being that the Boers were marginalized by the Afrikaner establishment as they were [ [& still often are ] viewed as a threat to the interests of the Afrikaans establishment [ the van Riebeeck worshipers as noted in your article ] power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608033197949243271.post-84879268201487800802009-02-26T05:04:00.000-08:002009-02-26T05:04:00.000-08:00This article conflates the Afrikaner with the Boer...This article conflates the Afrikaner with the Boer. The Boers are only the smaller SECTION of the folks that the 20th cent labeled as Afrikaners as the vast majority of Afrikaners are not of Boer descent as they are descended from the Cape Dutch of the Western Cape. Even Hertzog / Malan & Smuts were all of Cape Dutch descent ergo they were not of Boer descent. Louis Botha & Hans Strijdom were the only Boers to have EVER governed South Africa. All the rest were of Cape Dutch descent & in the case of Verwoerd of actual Dutch origin. This is vitally important to recognize as the Boers are under Afrikaner domination as the term Afrikaner lumps them in with the Cape Dutch [ who have historically worked against the Boers ] & the term Afrikaner was cooked up in the late 19th cent by some Cape Dutch intellectuals when they started a language rights movement at a time when most of the ACTUAL Boers were living in their independent world recognized Boer Republics. <BR/><BR/>Furthermore: Jan van Riebeeck was not the father of the Boer Nation as he was the OPPRESSOR of the Boers & their ancestors. Van Riebeeck was a cruel TYRANT who took the ancestors of the Boers & even some Afrikaners OUT of Europe & Asia & FORCED them to accompany him to the Cape. Go read his diary in which he made candid comments of utter contempt for the ancestors of the Boer people! He did not even like their language as they spoke Frankonish. The Boers were OPPRESSED by the Dutch rulers at the Cape & tried to escape them from the beginning when they became Trekboers: nomadic patoralists who trekked inland during the late 1600s & all throughout the 1700s in search of freedom from the autocratic VOC rule. The Boers declared their first Boer Republics on the eastern Cape frontier in 1795 in rebellion to Dutch rule. The Boers have very few actual Dutch ancestors as they are mostly of German / Frisian & French Huguenot origins with an admixture of Indian / Malay & Khoi due to absorption into the nascent White Afrikaans speaking population. <BR/><BR/>The De La Rey song / video phenomenon speaks MUCH more to the centuries long suppression of Boer identity than it does to the past neo-imperial era of the Cape based Afrikaners as the Boers were ALSO under Afrikaner domination. The was most noted when the Boers were denied in their grass roots attempts at restoring the Boer Republics during the 1940s when the Afrikaner establishment organized & dismantled the entire Boer Republican movement. The Boers had been earlier somewhat co-opted by the ascending Afrikaner Nationalist movement of the previous decade when the Cape Dutch establishment which ran Afrikanerdom usurped some notable Boer history in order to promulgate their platform of White Afrikaans "unity" in the name of outmaneuvering the English speakers within the political realm as the Cape Dutch & the Boers combined under the rubric of Afrikaner Nationalism was the devise used to dislodge the British from their overt control.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608033197949243271.post-513288178126360422007-06-02T04:29:00.000-07:002007-06-02T04:29:00.000-07:00Heita, I have forwarded the De la rey video to one...Heita, I have forwarded the De la rey video to one Afrikaner lady working with us. She used to tell people that the reason she left SA was due to people like me and she fell out of favour with the Kiwis. She has since been labelled racist and she is trying to patch things by befriending me. I had visits to M&G and seen Zapiro's Zuma with a built in shower head dispensing baby oil.finishenklaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07505404981375924894noreply@blogger.com
