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.

“Bok was here with us in the United Arab Emirates (Dubai) and our hearts now burn even brighter for Afrikaans and our country.
“All night long we all spoke just Afrikaans and ate vetkoek, melktert and boerewors-rolls, and sang along with DeLaRey.
“Someone even paid R1,300 (yes you are reading it correctly) for a bottle of Crosse & Blackwell-mayonnaise and everybody scrambled to get their hands on Niknaks and KWV.I remain crazy about South Africa, in spite of all its problems, and we will come and visit one of these days.South Africa, we still love all of you and all your people…”
According to Van Blerk’s own website, his agenda is booked solid until August.

There are about 50,000 young Afrikaners in Dubai. In fact Afrikaans is taught as a subject at the “Scholars International Academy’ with four South African teachers – including one who will introduce rugby and cricket to the youngsters there.
And there’s an Afrikaans church there too. This is Afrikaans pastor Nico Duursema of the Afrikaans Evangelical church in Dubai:

Using a UK curriculum, the Scholars International Academy say they believe in mother-tongue education. There was so much pressure from Afrikaans parents to have the language as a subject in schools that the Scholars International Academy realised that a need existed for it in this Arab country.
“Every nationality represented at the school will also get a special day where they can introduce the other children to their culture.
“They can perform songs, dances, eat traditional food and wear traditional clothes,” Hamman said.
There’s also an Afrikaans church and the South African Women’s Association, helping other South African women adapt and make friends.
Visiting her home town of Pretoria for a holiday, Manda Hamman, the school’s marketing officer, said there were about 50,000 South Africans in Dubai, and so far about 100 children had been enrolled at the school, 15 of whom were Afrikaans.
“It is an international school which an Indian woman, Aparna Verma, has built on the border of Dubai and Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates,” she said.
