WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

S.Africa: De Klerk – The 1994 Elections were Rigged

[Note. This is a follow-on from the most under-reported story imaginable… that the ANC cheated with 1 million votes in 1994. Take a look at the last paragraph of this story where De Klerk mentions the vote-rigging. Jan]

Nine years after quitting power in South Africa, former South African President, Mr. Frederick De Klerk, at the weekend confessed and regretted that the white minority rule in South Africa was predicated on injustice and inequitable practices.

De Klerk made the declaration while chatting with select news men in Lagos yesterday.

The former South African President who was in Nigeria for the Anyiam-Osigwe annual lecture in Lagos, noted that he “was already peeved about the state of injustice in the governance of that country right from when he was a cabinet minister- under his predecessor, Pieta Botha.

According to him, “My dream as a young man was how to bring all the various independent ethnic groups in South Africa to form a union of South Africa where people can work together for their common interest” regretting that “but we failed to make that dream a reality.”

Continuing, he said: “I could have clung on to power using our effective army which was really succeeding in the suppression of the violent struggle, and I knew that I could have still been in power today, but that would be over the bodies of hundreds of thousands of young men and women, and I couldn’t live with that. He said “we were putting people in prison without trying them, I could not live with that either, because it is morally unjustifiable.”

The former President who now runs De Klerk Foundation in South Africa said he had berated his fellow whites opposed to the changes by warning them that: “It would be your end if you cling to this position of yours” stressing that “to have security is to do what is right for all”.

He said it was the failure of the government of the white minority rule to uphold the ethos of justice and fairness that propelled thim to become resolute on righting the wrongs of his spredecessors.

De Klerk was the first South African President to organize an open election in which each voter was entitled to one vote. This led to the election of his successor, Dr. Nelson Mandela, black South African.

“I had to take the decision (of opening up the political space for freedom and equality of rights) because I faced the reality that we had failed to bring justice to all the people of South Africa”, de Klerk said.

He regretted further that apartheid would have been dismantled earlier than 1994, but because “there was a bloc in the National party that was strongly opposed to the move and that rendered us ineffective”

However, he said that when the bloc broke away in the early 80s to form the Conservative Party, that it paved the way for the acceleration of the political reforms in that country.

Asked for his comments on the last Nigerian elections, De Klerk declined comments because according to him, “I am not an expert on that”. He remarked that the overall impression about the election is that it is acceptable by majority of Nigerians and the international community.

He said in order to move a country forward; certain things will have to be forgone.

He revealed that even the South African elections of 1994 were rigged. “There were cases where ballot papers in some districts were very neatly arranged in ballot boxes and they were all for one candidate and party. I can tell you that we had over a million votes from such irregularities. But I decided to let it go so as to move the nation forward, he concluded.
