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: Capital City name to be changed
|
[Well, it eventually came… despite various denials. They went and amalgamated Pretoria with various black townships and then eventually slipped the name change in. Now some Afrikaners are fighting it. I seriously doubt they will achieve anything. It has been estimated the name change and its marketing will cost about R1 billion. I still wonder if Johannesburg will have its name changed. I’m sure other cities with Afrikaans names will definitely be changed, such as Bloemfontein. Many have already been changed – for example, Pietersburg is now Polokwane. I have wondered if in the end, they will change the name of the country from South Africa to Azania? Rest assured that anything with the slightest link to Afrikaners will be wiped away… for the foreseeable future… Jan] A pressure group to preserve the name Pretoria was formed by business, cultural, trade union and other organisations on Wednesday. The Tshwane City Council voted on Monday to retain the name Pretoria for the city centre only, with the name Tshwane for the greater metropolitan area. The Gauteng North Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the trade union Solidarity, the Federasie van Afrikaanse Kultuurvereniginge (FAK) and other bodies have established the Pretoria Civil Action Committee (PCAC). The disappearance of the name Pretoria would have serious effects on economic progress and in other areas, PCAC spokesperson Kallie Kriel said in a statement. The PCAC would strive to revive and broaden the “Pretoria is Pretoria” campaign, which had helped to avert previous attempts to change the city’s name, it said. “The existence of the name Pretoria for the city and Tshwane for the Metropolitan Council is a win-win solution that recognises all groups. Changing the name of the city to Tshwane will nullify this solution,” Kriel said. The PCAC disagreed with Tshwane mayor Smangaliso Mkhatshwa’s statement on Monday that businesses and other institutions would help to pay the estimated R1,5-billion that the name change would cost, Kriel added. The PCAC said the taxpayers and business it represented did not wish to pay for a change they did not support. – Sapa Source: Independent Online (IOL) |
