News – South Africa: COPE changed my life, says farmer

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.

A grey-haired Limpopo farmer caused a stir at the inaugural conference of the Congress of the People on Monday, saying joining COPE was a life-changing experience.

“I wonder what my wife is going to say,” Piet Grobler, retired Thabazimbi farmer, said to ecstatic conference delegates.

Interim COPE chairperson Terror Lekota introduced Grobler, who is on holiday in Bloemfontein, to delegates.

Lekota said Grobler heard of COPE’s conference in the city and searched for the Callie Human Hall at the University of the Free State to come and introduce himself.

“He is here, but he is not a delegate.”

Lekota said Grobler was told to join COPE at his home town, but he refused, insisting on becoming a member on the spot.

“Mnr Lekota ek wil nou en hier (Mr Lekota, I want to join now and here),” Grobler said.

Standing next to Lekota at the podium Grobler said the greatest day of his life was when he received “The Lord, Jesus” in his heart.

“Except for that it’s a great day in my life, I’ve just become a member of COPE, thank you,” Grobler said while delegates cheered.

He said he had four sons, one working in Canada because he could not find work in South Africa, and three still working in the country.

Grobler said he became a COPE member for two reasons.

“Our policy about agriculture, to produce food, and secondly the way you intend handling affirmative action, which would not discriminate against anyone.”

On receiving his conference bag and T-shirt from Lekota, Grobler was swamped by singing and dancing delegates on the conference floor. – Sapa
