[I wonder how many whites have left in total in the last 20-25 years? I remember hearing the 1 million being bandied around years ago already – but I’m not sure if that was in 1999. Could be be that in the last 20 years that we’ve lost 1.5 million whites? Wasn’t the white population at one time about 5.5 million or even a bit higher? Remember, that about 100,000(43)+ Rhodesians came in in the 1980’s.

Note its the young, the economically active, etc who are fleeing. So who will stay behind? Well… the old and the POOR… there are millions of whites too poor to ever leave – and most are Afrikaners. With everyone fleeing, who will help them? They are screwed pal… the truly poor… are the ones who will face the living hell that lies ahead.

Below this article, I will post some comments from FreeRepublic (a huge conservative American website) where people discussed this. There are some interesting comments there.

Among the FreeRepublic comments is this message from an Afrikaner in Canada. It reads: “As jy jou kinders liefhet, sal jy die pad vat – hoe gouer, hoe beter.” Let me translate: “If you love your children, then you will leave – the sooner the better.”

My attitude is that even though people are running, not everyone can run. Of course some will never run. They’d rather die than run. Its good that people are saving their families. But there will come a time, even with dwindling numbers, when the old and the poor may have to fight for their lives. We cannot, in all conscience abandon them to be slaughtered. There will come a time when those of us who are not so poor, and not so old, may have to stand by those who are. And I hope that some of those who left to go overseas will try to help save their less fortunate fellow countrymen one day. Jan]

Johannesburg – One million white South Africans – almost a fifth – have left the country in the past ten years.

This figure was released last week in a report from the South African Institute of Race Relations (SAIRR).

Frans Cronje, who compiled the report, said it was especially crime and affirmative action which had driven a fifth of South Africa’s white population out of the country.

He did an analysis of Statistics South Africa’s Household Surveys between 1995 and 2005, emigration figures and other reliable estimates on population numbers.

Cronje said the results left himself and his colleagues dumbfounded.

“When we drew the graphs we saw that almost a whole generation of white South Africans are not here anymore.”

Young people, children leaving

The SAIRR’s population pyramid of white South Africans show a definite loss of young people and children under the age of ten.

The figures for 2005 put the number of white South Africans in the country at 4.3 million, 841 000 fewer than the 5.2 million of 1995.

Cronje predicts that the white population would continue to shrink, and, he said, the situation would have a far-reaching impact on the economy.

“The white population is getting older, which means the white taxpayers are only going to contribute to the economy for the next twenty years. There would have to be a huge influx of skilled workers to fill this gap. This, unfortunately, is not the case.”

Due to the inequalities of the past, the education of most of the black children is still not on par to fill these gaps.

Last year, for example, only 3,000 black learners passed matric with higher grade mathematics, said Cronje.

Economically productive

Most of the white emigrants are economically productive people, said Marco Macfarlane, co-author of the report.

However, in the last decade the black economically productive population grew by 81%. Some of these people have slot into the high-income group, where black people make up a third of the top earners.

Whites, however, still account for half of this group, where Indians and coloureds make up 7% and 6% of the high-income group respectively.

The rest of the black entrants to the labour market are busy in the informal sector, which do not necessarily contribute to the tax income.

“Black people are entering the economy at a stiff pace, but of the economically active middle class (the country’s biggest tax contributors), blacks only account for 1%.”

Macfarlane said crime and affirmative action are the top reasons for the exodus of whites.

More whites going to leave

“And because the crime figures are not going to decline rapidly and affirmative action is to continue, more whites are going to leave.

“The young people reckon they are being punished for what happened in the previous dispensation. They are furious, because they feel they had no part in it,” said Macfarlane.

According to the report the emigrants are between 20 and 40 years old.

“This is the group that have children and help grow the population, but now they’re getting their children overseas. And they don’t come back. That means the white population is going to continue to shrink.”

The decline in the white population in the decade to 2005 is estimated at 16.1%.

This came from a discussion on FreeRepublic.com:-

I became curious about South Africa’s current economic and political situation after reading comments by Desmond Tutu on the BBC which were something like “South Africa has failed to sustain the idealism that ended apartheid, warning of growing ethnic divisions.”

This article in summary, says Whites are leaving South Africa for two primary reasons:
1) Crime
2) Affirmative Action

Also,
1) The whites that are leaving are between 20 and 40 years old and economically productive.
2) The whites that are staying are usually older and have no means financially to leave.

I predict South Africa will end up in a similar situation as Zimbabwe.

I also recommend reading the comments at the end of the article, they are very telling too.

Here is a sample of some of the comments:
Message: I left 25 years ago – before the chicken run. I foresaw what was coming, and I predict that far worse is yet to happen … regardless of your skin colour. There is a remorseless cultural and even physical genocide of all that is “white” in progress. Those in denial are wilfully ignorant and naive. As jy jou kinders liefhet, sal jy die pad vat – hoe gouer, hoe beter. There is a lot of opportunity in Alberta, Canada. Check into it.

Message: I left SA for 4 years, to have a wonderful crime-free life in London, with global travel cheaper, and opportunities better. I came back to be with my ailing father, and the constant carping of my family on how much better life in SA was. I thought the grass was greener, but I was terribly wrong. It took me 8 months to find a job, constantly labeled over qualified and the crime is terrible, my house is a jail, my kids have learnt to be wary of everyone, the salaries are laughable, and the Rand is worth nothing! Ill be leaving again next year, to safe, secure Europe, with affordable schools & childcare. After all, The Minister of Safety & Security told me to leave didnt he? I’m following his instructions! Good bye taxman – you’ll not be getting more from me after that! I’d rather pay it to a government that actually uses it to provide services that benefit me, not their pockets!

Oh well, when the whites leave they can go back to necklacing.

What’s so shocking about this? You shut the entrepeneurs down and what do they expect?
