The Genocide of White South African Farmers
ANC defends ‘kill the boer’ song
But not to worry, its “just an old struggle song”, and its quoted completely “out of context”.
Dressed to kill: Zuma & Mugabe
Johannesburg – The ANC defended youth leaderJulius Malema on Thursday for singing, “shoot the boers, they are rapists”, saying the lyrics of the song had been quoted out of context.
“Let’s discuss appropriately on this matter. Don’t blame Julius. In fact, on this one, I will defend him,” ANC spokesperson Jackson Mthembu told Sapa by phone on Thursday morning.
Reality check:
3,037th White Farmer Murdered in South Africa
Farmers Leaving South Africa
“This song was sung for many years even before Malema was born… Julius doesn’t even know who’s the writer of the song. He got it from us [the ANC]. You must blame the ANC, don’t blame Julius. But when you blame the ANC, then contextualise it.”
Old struggle song
Mthembu said the song was an old struggle song that Malema learnt from his ANC colleagues.
There were many songs in South Africa’s history that could offend people, he said.
“I know of songs that sing of generals… but let’s leave that aside,” he said, declining to name the song, but in a clear hint to the Afrikaans hit, “De la Rey”, about a general in the Anglo-Boer war.
The song Malema sang was not meant to attack boers, said Mthembu.
“If you don’t look at the song in its entirety, then you lose the meaning,” he said, before starting to sing it to Sapa during the telephonic interview.
Mthembu then explained: “It [the song] says, ‘some people are cowards’, it says, ‘use your gun to shoot’, because it is reminiscent of fighting a war.”
Cowards
It refers to all people who are cowards, including blacks who were cowards, Mthembu said.
“[It is about]… black people who were cowards… it means oppressive forces, it means those who are against transformation, those who are saying this ANC regime is against the ‘blanke volk’ [the white nation].
“There are some white people who say so, who say we were better off with white ‘volk’ in government.”
Mthembu said he knew not all white people said this.
The song was also sung in the past by white freedom fighters.
“Even when we sang the songs, we didn’t want Joe Slovo to be killed. Ronnie Kasrils… in fact, they were leading us in those songs.”
Malema is facing a criminal charge and a complaint with the SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) for reportedly singing at the University of Johannesburg, “Dubula amabhunu baya raypha” (Zulu for, ‘Shoot the boers, they are rapists) with a group of students.
The song is reminiscent of the late Peter Mokaba, a former ANC Youth League leader known for chanting the slogan, “kill the boer, kill the farmer” during the struggle against apartheid.
Criminal charge
The Freedom Front Plus laid a criminal charge against Malema for allegedly advocating hate. The Afrikanerbond lodged a complaint with the SAHRC.
The Freedom Front Plus won an appeal related to the “kill the farmer, kill the Boer” slogan in 2003 when the SAHRC ruled it constituted hate speech.
Mthembu said people who were unhappy with the singing of the song should approach the ANC so it could be discussed.
“The issue is, indeed, some people might be correct that there might be songs we should not sing. Let them put them on the agenda and convince the ANC that we should not sing those songs and tell us why.
“But then they should also look at songs that were sung by the forces of oppression.”

“old struggle song”, yes blah blah we know. But what I just found out, is this:
“The Arabic word Jihad is derived from the root word Jahada (STRUGGLE). Jihad has come to mean an offensive war to be waged by Muslims against all non-Muslims to convert them to Islam on the pain of death. Jihad is enjoined on all Muslims by the Quran.
http://www.historyofjihad.org/albania.html
That sure puts a new spin on it, doesn’t it?
On pain of death, you say?
Well, Winnie Mandela (and ex-husband Nelson Mandela) ordered that black traitors (“collaborators”, apostates?) should be burnt alive with gasoline-filled tyres around their necks, and taught them how to do this too.

In terror camps like Quadro:

I’d say that’s quite a bit of “pain of death”.
That song about generals (de la Rey) refers to a Boer general de la Rey who fought during the Anglo-Boer War. It sure as hell doesn’t call for the killing of anyone, and definitely not of blacks or any other group.
So yes, let’s leave it aside, because you’ll lose the argument, Mthembu. Typical ANC taqiyya.
A song basically going “Kill the Boere, Kill the Boere, Mama, please let me go kill a Boer, Boere are dogs who rape, Only cowards are scared, Kill the Boere, Kill the Boere”… Well, maybe I’m paranoid or crazy, but I think it incites the killing of Boere. “Boer” is Dutch and Afrikaans for farmer, but is often used to refer to whites in general. Compare that with a song about the Anglo-Boer War, requesting a leader, singing about concentration camps and farms burnt to a crisp… Sure. Comparing apples and oranges there.
‘Farm murders’ is the term used to describe the resulting genocide.
So here’s the lyrics to SHOOT THE BOER
Shoot the Boer – lyrics – Zulu/English
Lyrics of the song sung by Malema during his birthday speech (transcribed and translated from the Times’s online audio of Malema’s birthday speech):

Extremely articulate and very eloquent as you can see.
Our president Zuma likes to chant “Bring my machine gun” while toyi-toying (basically doing a jig) and apparently there’s another one “ubaba uyajabula mangishayi bhunu” (my father is happy when I hit the boer)
Now for that song by whites about generals Mthembu refers to:
ORIGINAL AFRIKAANS LYRICS:
Op ´n berg in die nag
lê ons in die donker en wag
in die modder en bloed lê ek koud,
streepsak* en reën kleef teen my
en my huis en my plaas tot kole verbrand sodat hulle ons kan vang,
maar daai vlamme en vuur brand nou diep, diep binne my.
De la Rey, De la Rey sal jy die Boere kom lei?
De la Rey, De la Rey
Generaal, generaal soos een man, sal ons om jou val.
Generaal De la Rey.
Oor die Kakies wat lag,
´n handjie van ons teen ´n hele groot mag
en die kranse lê hier teen ons rug,
hulle dink dis verby.
Maar die hart van ´n Boer lê dieper en wyer, hulle gaan dit nog sien.
Op ´n perd kom hy aan, die Leeu van die Wes-Transvaal.
De la Rey, De la Rey sal jy die Boere kom lei?
De la Rey, De la Rey
Generaal, generaal soos een man, sal ons om jou val.
Generaal De la Rey.
Want my vrou en my kind lê in ´n kamp en vergaan,
en die Kakies se murg loop oor ´n nasie wat weer op sal staan.
De la Rey, De la Rey sal jy die Boere kom lei?
De la Rey, De la Rey
Generaal, generaal soos een man, sal ons om jou val.
Generaal De la Rey.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
On a mountain at night
we lie in wait in the dark
in the mud and the blood I lay cold
cloth* and rain clinging to me
and my home and farm burnt to charcoal** so they can catch us
but those flames and fire now burn deep, deep inside me
De la Rey, De la Rey will you come lead the Boere?
De la Rey, De la Rey
Generaal, generaal united like one man we’ll fall around you
Generaal De la Rey
Over the Khakis who laugh
a handful of us against all their might
and the cliffs behind us
they think it’s over
But the heart of a Boer lies deeper and wider, they are yet to see
On a horse he comes, the Lion of the West Transvaal
De la Rey, De la Rey will you come lead the Boere?
De la Rey, De la Rey
Generaal, generaal united like one man we’ll fall around you
Generaal De la Rey
Because my wife and my child are lay starving in a camp****
and the Khakis’ marrow run over a nation that will rise again
De la Rey, De la Rey will you come lead the Boere?
De la Rey, De la Rey
Generaal, generaal united like one man we’ll fall around you
Generaal De la Rey
This sounds more like saying something like “semper fi” than kill all those black people. Lying arrogant taqiyya bastard.
* lit. big roughly woven heavy duty bags you use to carry stuff around in, these days 50kg animal feeds, maize etc.
** The British under Lord Kitchener instituted a scorched earth policy and burnt the farms to the ground, to cut off their support, their food supplies and hiding places. Compare this to Kristallnacht.
*** ‘Khakis’ is the name they gave the British soldiers due to the fact that they used to wear khaki safari suits.
**** Decades before Hitler killed the Jews in German concentration camps, Lord Kitchener ordered Boer women and children to be sent to concentration camps. The captured Boer men were sent to prison colonies such as Ceylon and St Helena. Over 26,000 Boer women and children died in those camps. There is one very well known photo of a girl called Lizzie van Zyl, who might as well have been an Auschwitz photo. Today, the same is happening again in SA:

The separation of women and children from the men, internment camps where starvation and disease killed thousands, farms burnt to the ground… This WAS a genocide, and probably provided the blueprint for the Holocaust, but no one ever talks about that. It’s too much fun villifying whites South Africans.
Throughout 1838, the ancestors of these Boere were slaughtered while unarmed and sleeping in their wagons at places like Weenen (Afrikaans/Dutch for “weeping” and Bloukrans “blue cliff”). The Bloukrans and Weenen Massacres wiped out half of the whites in Natal who moved away from the Cape Colony, which had been taken over by the British. It started with Piet Retief, who fell for Zulu chief Dingane’s taqiyya. Dingaan invited them for a celebration after signing a land treaty following peaceful negotiations and retrieval of cattle for Dingane by Retief and his men. They were brutally slaughtered, after having been made to watch as his men and then his teenage son were murdered, Retief was also tortured to death, having his heart and liver cut out and handed to Dingaan as a gift.
This was before those areas were colonised (by the British, not the Boere) and more than a century before Apartheid. So let’s be honest, you can’t really blame Apartheid for killing whites? Before whites came along, they were killing off each other.
BTW. Black tribes were about 1000km away from the Cape Colony by 1770, and were migrating south, away from Central Africa. The Cape Colony was started under order of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) as a refreshment post on the trade route to India and most people were from Dutch decent. But then the British took over once it was established.
Many of the whites were descendants of the French Huguenots, who came here from France (surnames like Le Roux, Terreblanche, de Villiers, du Toit), where they (protestants) were being persecuted by catholics.
I guess not much has changed over the last couple of centuries.
“Mthembu said people who were unhappy with the singing of the song should approach the ANC so it could be discussed.”
Yeah right. They don’t care about anything anyone had to say. When concerned citizens brought thousands of letters of protest against “crime” in SA, those letters ended up being trampled in the gutter.
When a white businessman went to court to prevent this hate speech to continue and the court ruled that it was hate speech and is unconstitutional, the ANC vowed to appeal. They even wanted to skip the equality court and take it straight to the Supreme court.
Of course, then some clever ballsy farmer went and complained to the ICC in The Hague and suddenly we don’t hear anything about it anymore. Of course the farmer who remains anonymous had to flee the country though.

Malema is not the only one named in the complaint:
SA President Jacob Zuma
Julius Malema ( ANCYL )
Nathi Mthethwa ( Police Minister )
Bheki Cele ( Police Chief )
Jackie Selebi ( former National Police Commissioner )
Tina Joemat Peterson ( Minsiter of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries )
Lindiwe Sisulu ( Minister of Defense and Military Veterans ) *
Siyabonga Cwele ( Intelligence Minister )
Ronnie Kasrils ( Former Minister of Intelligence )
Gwede Mantashe (ANC Secretary-General )
Gugile Nkwinti ( Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform )
Pali Lehohla ( Statistician-General )
* Military Veterans… See the resemblance to Zimbabwe’s “war veterans”? This probably refers to the fact the the ANC and PAC’s armed wings (umkhoto wesizwe or MK) and APLA joined the defense force and police force after Mandela was sworn in. It’s no surprise then that police and army issue weapons are used to commit crimes such as farm attacks and cash heists.
Just before the recent soccer world cup, a gun shop owner who often sells equipment to Winnie Mandela’s security guards threatened that all whites will be killed on July 12 (the date after the soccer ends):
This man‘s identity is moreover, known to the gunshop-owner as the man regularly purchases firearms for Winnie Mandela’s security staff and had just ordered 400 bulletproof vests through them. “The man said that they were going to kill all ‘your people’s’ children, women, old people and men, and that time they won’t be fighting with knobkieries and pangas, they now are well-armed. We are going to come and fetch nice stuff from you whites,’ he said.
…
Alex: “The black man told my husband that he would ‘shoot at people’s legs’. My husband responded that he never did – he would shoot right between the eyes – and that he would not miss.’ (LOL typical pissed off Boer, wouldn’t waste time with torture like cutting or shooting at legs)
