"Demographic
We are not going to solve our problems in the world unless we understand demographics and how this determines the nature of the areas we live in. Went to braai some time ago, and the discussion about our future in SA popped up, as it almost always does these days? One of the guys there stated, that what we should do is to start buying up farms and just keep going. Without realizing he actually touched on why we are stuck in the situation we are in now. Even Pienk Frikkie de Klerk summed it up quite accurately some time ago, when he stated that apartheid only failed because we were too greedy and wanted too much. The early Boers understood this well and withdrew from Natal for instance. Congregated in the two republics and demographically dominated the area! Thus their culture would be the dominant one for that given geographic area because of the demographic of the people that are most abundant!
Fact is no matter how strong you are, demographics will always determine the outcome of who controls an area! Mid 1850's the Boers were outnumbered as well, but in certain areas they outnumbered the neighboring tribes and therefore their culture was the dominant one for their areas. They could make the rules and even defend their rights with no-one ever denying them that privilege,
We lost what we had in the War, because we then got overrun by other cultures, that started dominating the demographics for our areas after the war. It matters not that it was "our" area, because in time, who ever dominates demographically will control it geographically!We are heading down that road today still with allowing immigrants to move into the country at a such a rate that no one culture will withstand this onslaught. The EU is starting to learn this fact too, but will hey wake up in time?
Apartheid was a lie, in as much that we could never keep control over all of this country, unless we could dominate with demographics!
If we want to fix this, we need to get this fact and instead of waging war, start dominating areas with numbers! Spend our efforts creating our own instead of fighting for someone to give it to us! Will never happen ,but occupying an area with our own people will result in getting some of our own back! Orania and Kleinfontein is a start, and if we build on that, we could have the freedom and safety we seek! There is no other way. We tried and failed, time for a better strategy, one that cannot be stopped. One that requires no violence or breaking the law!
“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.”
Greed cost us dearly before, we need to be patient this time round!
