South Africa - Sins of the Fathers - Part 4

Sins of the Fathers – Part 4 – Wasted Time

There is one refrain that is continually presented whenever one speaks to anybody who had been involved in what was known as the “Border War.”

The Afrikaners by means of FW De Klerk reneged on promises to all the participants in the border war.

32 Battalion was let down; they bled and died for the South Africans because they were given shelter and a small salary.

The ANC government has actually integrated these past 32 Battalion soldiers into the SANDF. These soldiers are giving their loyalty to their new country.

Nevertheless, it is not only 32 Battalion, 101 Battalion has also suffered because of this cowardice on the side of the Afrikaners by not sticking to their promises.
Today the former soldiers find themselves at a place called “Vingerkraal,” destitute and in poor conditions.

When looking at all these aspects and with hindsight – a blindingly orthodox field, one cannot but fail to raise some serious questions.

Why did South Africa under the National Party leadership continue with the war in Angola? Was it because the Generals of the SADF received “incentives” from Savimbi, the leader of Unita? Who received diamonds on a large scale? Certain Cabinet Ministers? Was the public misled?

The ANC had shown greater pragmatism, although the Defense Force is a shadow of its former self. The SA Special Forces is indeed a cluster of excellence. However, they were shown to have been involved In the Civil Cooperation Bureau (CCB), which was an operation, run by the SA Police and who bungled it on a monumental scale. If it was not for SA Special Forces, the Defense Force would have run into serious problems in the Central African Republic (CAR) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). These are the same Special Forces where the management is hell bent on seemingly stealing. Whilst the troopers in the various theatres are working their butts of, they seem hell bent on enriching themselves. In this regard, they have clearly co-opted the judicial system in the RSA. In this regard, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) seems to be nothing else but a crime-ridden club who is referred to in letters to the President as a white collar criminal organization. Yet, it might all be true.

In this regard, a company NGAM had supplied weapons to SA Special forces via Armscor. The SASF and their Intelligence counterparts, with whom they had been working closely in the past had tried to steal the contracts of NGAM. False accusations were raised against the personnel of NGAM; raids were affected based on suspicions. Anything was done to slander them and create suspicion, all because these people want to steal. They had crippled NGAM’s business; they used SARS (The Revenue Service) for fictitious assessments. They had roped in the courts; the situation has reached such a level that

no faith can be held in the courts. This all because certain people want to steal and this emanates from a small group at SA Special Forces. They have tried to destroy NGAM financially, the same way in which they had set out to destroy many other companies.
When Armscor lost Arbitration for some R 300 million to an Australian company, the RSA government wants to change international agreements. This certainly bodes ill for the RSA in the International Commercial sphere! Many International companies are stating publicly that they refuse to do business with Armscor or Denel. Both companies belong to the state, and they are active in the Defense Industry. The Intelligence services have been monitoring various companies ‘communications in order to pass their trade secrets on to those two companies. In all of these aspects, the Afrikaners are prevalent. It is clear that there is no leadership amongst the Afrikaners, and this leads to the question as to whether the Afrikaners was nothing else but cannon fodder in order to create the bidding of the same politicians who have now left them in the lurch?

The question is why Dr Verwoerd was murdered? Was he a threat to business interests? Afrikaner business interests? While trying to answer these questions, one has to

delve deeper into the history of the country and go back to the Anglo – Boer war that ended in 1902. Which families fled the fighting in South Africa and sat it out in order to return with all their cattle from Lesotho and Swaziland and in the process became exceedingly rich? Once this issue is understood then one can begin to understand how it all fits together.

Tollgate was an example of stealing from this group, now Pinnacle Point – the property group, even the issue of NGAM becomes abundantly clear when having regard thereto.

Thus, who is the threat for the future of the RSA? People such as the personnel of any company that performs, even to the benefit of the country?

The fact of the matter is that the NPA is an institution that must be thoroughly investigated. As for the SA Special Forces, if the management keeps on endangering the lives of all and sundry with their insatiable appetite for abusing state resources, then they must be shut down, and a new institution formed in order to safeguard the skills built up over so many years.

Que vadis South Africans?

A case of throwing the pearls before the swine!!!
