boer or Boer
The Dutch colonized the Cape Province from 1652 onwards. The Dutch government later provided free passage to the French Huguenots who were farmers. The Dutch needed them to farm the land in South Africa for provisions for the sea route to India and there were mutual benefits for both. This combination of Dutch and French farmers (boers) later trekked inland and the two Boer states were formed. The Boers then, are these farmers (boers) which became a nation, known throughout the world as Boers. see Who were the Boers? or Die Anderkant van die storie
Definition:the word boer means farmer in Dutch.
Ever since colonialism they have been oppressed by many nations and are akin to the Jews in this regard. They have suffered genocide at the hands of the English and now they suffer it yet again with the ANC.
The Boers are not colourist nor racist, because they are descendant from several nations and cultures in Europe and Africa and became a nation during the famous 'Great Trek' in the 1800's.
They have been branded unclean barbarians by the England, racist by the Western world, oppressors by the Black tribes of South Africa and nobody's by the Afrikaner and English speaking South Africans.
The Boers are very proud of their heritage. They never liked the English and hated their Colonial laws, the birthing of Apartheid. When they called for the Great Trek it was to escape the oppressive English. However many settlers willingly remained under British rule and this is where the split came between the Afrikaners of the Cape Province and the TrekBoers.
Many people today look at the white peoples of South Africa and think they are Afrikaners. However it is more complex than that. There are English speaking South Africans, Afrikaners and Boers.
Boers are passionately proud of who they are. Just like the Scotsman who you dare not call an Englishman! Boers are not Afrikaners nor are they English speaking.
This website is dedicated to their heritage and their history, because they are targeted for genocide by the African National Congress, the Communistic One Ruling Party Government of South Africa. If you look at the 8 stages of genocide at www.genocidewatch.org/8stages.htm written by Dr Gregory Stanton of Genocide Watch - an international organisation raised up by the United Nations to monitor genocide around the world, you will see that the Boers are in the 5th stage of genocide, entering the 6th stage. See also http://www.genocidewatch.org/BoersSlain01.htm
The ANC use the Boers as scapegoats for the previous mistakes of the archaic Apartheid regime and blame them for everything that goes awry within the governing of South Africa. If the ANC are criticised by the Western world's governments, they cry 'the Boers are to blame' or 'look at what we have inherited from these Wittes' or such like. The ANC are no better than the previous Dinosauric White ruling parties.
And there is also another Mbeki inflicted genocide happening in South Africa simultaneously, namely AIDS. When the Boers are attacked on their farms they are raped and tortured incessantly with no recourse to medical attention or police intervention. They have few friends within the Black tribes because the ANC -through the Azapo/Apla and PAC groupings who run the Landless People's Campaigns - have succeeded through hate speech and hate rallies and hate radio to ostracize these peace loving people. [The ANC through "traditional healers" train the killers at so-called tribal schools for boys, just like the Muslim clerics who teach boys to become suicide killers.] And because the Boers are living in remote areas, they are a soft target for these military style murders. And those that do survive are subject to the deabilatating effects of AIDS as well!
This website is a diary of the catastrophic events that have taken place within the Boer community of yester-year and into the 21st century. I hope I will do justice to these people whom God loves.
