[Thanks for these interesting ideas. Actually, do you know that one of the original Boer Republics, the Transvaal, set up one of the earliest national parks in the world – the Kruger National Park – named of course after President Kruger. Ironic as this may seem, in the light of Politically Correct nonsense about the so-called “noble savage” who lives “in tune with his environment” – it is whites far more than blacks who care for the environment.

Just the other day on TV I saw a type of monkey which is extremely rare – which the blacks in West Africa are completely slaughtering into extinction for its meat! So they have a couple of them at Pretoria zoo, trying to breed them.

The reality of Africa is that whites care more for the environment than blacks. I have no doubt, that an Afrikaner state would carry on such a tradition! Jan]

There is a great feeling among European liberals (those who decide the outcomes of elections) that much more must be done to save the planet. Remember that liberals are easy to manipulate. Maybe your white African state could be set up as the world’s first eco friendly one with harsh laws dealing with polution and recycling. Perhaps you could set up green groups in SA to encourage greener policies. I cannot imagine the ANC can run waste management properly. I know that this sounds very leftie liberal but it’s worth a bash. Talk about national parks (I know that since Mugabe got into power the national parks in Zimbabwe have fallen into appauling conditions)and how you’d set up many more if you could have your own country. Talk about the special Afrikaner/Anglo-African relationship with the veld and its wildlife.

I hope this very lateral idea could gain you some support in Europe (particularily German speaking countries).
