Thank you.

The facts about this guy make it plain why they locked him up for decades. He burned people’s faces off. Holding him up as some kind of victim of da raysizmz is utter booolsheeet.

Yes, absolutely. He was pure evil

All true no doubt but the Boer regime never had a hope of surviving. It had its own quotient of wickedness.

It had its own issues, to be sure, but also could have survived just fine. It made it into the mid-’90s, after all, and gave up rather than was defeated

The ANC and cadres kill more in 2 months than the Boers killed in 60 years

The Boers also created a 1st world nation at the tip of Africa.

Hundreds of black only schools, 12+ Black only universities. Hospitals, housing etc to name just a few accomplishments.

The tired argument of "But they did <insert thing here> doesn't work anymore.

Your argument has consigned everyone in the country to a living hell characterized by a growing lack of clean water, intermittent electricity, a dearth of jobs, and violent crime at per-capita levels higher than Somalia

How is that better?

The Boer regime died out because they became decadent and didn't actually follow through with apartheid. Their “apartheid” consisted of turning the bantustans into labour wells and bussing in the black population to do any job they didn't want to (in instances where they weren't using permanent townships).

Imagine if almost every menial job were occupied by a man who is legally a foreigner, and the wages are flowing into zones that are legally foreign countries (even if the rest of the world doesn't recognise them as such) where Boers are barred from owning businesses or exercising political rights. That was the state it was in.

Time the world work up to the facts. Have you read any books by Anthea Jeffrey e.g. The People’s War, Countdown to Socialism. 2025, ANC regard themselves as a liberation movement and not a political party. They are very quickly destroying South Africa

The People’s War is toward the top of my list - a friend in SA told me to read it. Have not heard of the other one, but will add it too

The ANC is awful

Thank you so much for posting this. Yes on everything you mention. In 1986 I was contracted to prepare a manuscript on Mandela, his training in early days after leaving South Africa, the establishment of facility at Rivonia Farm, and the Q-019 infiltration of Rivonia facility. In the end the publisher list nerve, used various excuses, but spiked the book.

That’s infuriating, but I suppose is to be expected

A good reminder of those days. I was at school in Pretoria in 1970s. Fire drills, bomb drills, windows protected with blast proof coatings.

With the Africanization of SA history it would be interesting to compare notes.

The current lot are totally corrupt and incompetent heavily in the back pocket of China.

Very interesting! If you want to talk about it and compare notes, just shoot me a dm on here. Would love to

To be honest I don't have have writings to compare. I just meant there is a different interpretation now of him. Obviously a freedom fighter and 'Saviour" rather than the reality. The black elite use the 'white guilt" as a potent weapon.

i'd always read the name Joe Slovo before and just thought it was an odd African name. Had no idea he was actually "Lithuanian"

The American Tribune's avatar

Yeah. I haven’t read a ton on him other than in the context of Mandela, but a Lithuanian trained by the USSR

I never knew any of this, but I shouldn’t be surprised. Most heroes propped up by the regime are complete “human” trash. Thank you and God Bless 🙏🏻

Thank you for writing this and sharing this! I thoroughly enjoyed our podcast recording today and learnt a lot from it. I've subsequently read this article and will read more about DR Congo later on.

You have helped me to open my mind and also even further question my thought beliefs and why I have them.

Having read this, things NOW seem to make more sense.
