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.

I had such a laugh yesterday when I met an Afrikaans writer and author, Andries Lombard. I will post some of his stuff, and I told him that if he wants to write or publish anything on AfricanCrisis in either English or Afrikaans he is welcome.
He had “met me” on the internet some time back and we lost touch. Now we met in person. He’s a tall fellow with a big beared, but intellectually very active.
I only met him by accident shortly before I left Orania. He talked and talked, and I made some notes. He was fun. I enjoy people who are intellectual and passionate about it and Andries is one of those.
What really made me laugh though was his comment to me about myself. He has no doubt read many of my writings and is familiar with my style. After he had chatted to me for a while, he remarked, “You really are quite a PLACID person!!” I really laughed at that.
In fact, I found myself having to defend myself… and saying: Yeah, I may seem placid now… but I have my moments of anger and yes, I really DO GET ANGRY… I was almost pleading with him to make him believe I really can get quite angry!!
He had been expecting a fire-breathing dragon and instead found me there listening, taking out my note-book and making notes and being quite quiet and civilised!!
I actually enjoyed the comment. So he says I’m placid. And just last week, the one manager at my work referred to me as “utterly ruthless”. (See: Jan Lamprecht… you’re utterly RUTHLESS… Oops… those who want to fire me… ).
Yeah, I’m a complex person… in case people did not know. I’m not as “out of control” as some might think I am.
I’m sure the man who took us on a tour around Orania will describe me as “excited”. When I showed him what I was doing on AfricanCrisis he asked me all sorts of questions including whether I’d been harrassed. When it comes to my website, I do get quite animated.
As my one friend said to me: I have my work, and then I have my PASSION. You have your work… and then you have your PASSION which is your website. It would of course be nice for my passion to be my work and that’s what I will keep aiming for.
But yeah… I was quite well behaved and civilised!
Oh and another old man I ran into in Orania turned around and said to me, “Jy kan nogal goed Afrikaans praat vir ‘n engelsman”. Translation: “You can speak Afrikaans well for an Englishman!”
Hehehehe. That had me laughing. I speak Afrikaans with a terrible english accent… and being more fluent in English I often can express myself better and more subtley in English.
I actually had to tell these people that according to my family tree, I’m probably every bit as Afrikaans as any of them, and perhaps even more so. Both my mother and father’s side of the family are completely Afrikaans. The one side is of Dutch descent and the other side is of German descent and they all lived in the Transvaal.
The only thing that made our family different was that about half of our family – a massive portion of this large family – uprooted and moved to Rhodesia in the late 1940’s. My mother never regretted moving to Rhodesia. She always felt that this experience was very good for us and to the last days of her life she spoke fondly of Rhodesia and what they learned there. Not one member of our family regrets the time in Rhodesia and we felt the tragedy there as much as anyone else. We’re all absolutely disgusted beyond belief at how Rhodesia ended up in the hands of filth like Mugabe.
I think it did us all good, and made us different to many Afrikaners who remained in South Africa, and I think we learned from it and grew from it and could contribute to Afrikanerdom through our unique experience there.
But Afrikaners are spreading out… some are leaving, some are staying. And Afrikaners themselves are changing and mutating. And “Anglicised Afrikaners” like myself, are becoming far more common. What made me stand out like a sore thumb 30 years ago, will in fact be almost normal in the next 20 years. And it will change everyone… and prepare everyone for the future and for surviving in the future.
Andries Lombard told me that he is totally confident of the future. He says Afrikaners have nothing to fear. There will be a future for everyone.
