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.

Johannesburg – Both Gauteng’s top two matric candidates have been unable to obtain a bursary for further studies.
Riaan Lizamore and Hansie Janse van Rensburg, both from Florida Ho(235)ërskool in Roodepoort, have been told time and time again that they are not “suitable candidates” for the bursaries on offer.
Riaan, the province’s top candidate with an average of 98.9%, has already taken out a student loan to study Actuarial Science at the University of Stellenbosch next year.
According to him, most companies told him they “do not award bursaries to white males.”
Hansie, who has an average of 96%, applied for five bursaries but was shown the door every time. He wanted a bursary to ensure that he has work once he has completed his studies.
Stephan van Staden, Gauteng’s number three candidate, did not apply for bursaries. His brother, Pieter, was the top candidate in the province in 1999 and couldn’t obtain a bursary at the time.
Sanlam has ‘affirmative action’ policy
Vic van Vuuren, Sanlam’s Chief Executive: Human Resources, says the company applies affirmative action when awarding bursaries. Black, coloured and Indian men and women are advantaged to set the balance right.
According to him, bursaries are awarded based on final exam marks. There is also financial assistance for students from “disadvantaged backgrounds” who are identified while still at school and who receive financial aid at school level.
Van Vuuren added that they would, however, never close their doors to “exceptional achievers”.
