During the Apartheid era, there was widespread international protest against white South Africa and its treatment of black South Africa. Major demonstrations, economic sanctions and calls for an end to the white regime! Well, we're certainly no better off now...
I knew nothing of the extent to which South Africa has regressed until this morning. My mother found several South African blogs on the Internet. She, my father, and I crowded around the computer and just looked on in shock. Not only are our once beautiful cities turning to rubble under the pock marks of AK-47 bullet holes, but our people are also being slaughtered for no other reason than they are white. Black South Africans murdering and torturing white South Africans because they are white, and the rest of the world potters on as usual. It's just because it doesn't have a snazzy name like "Apartheid" that it goes on unnoticed... Black South Africa is trying to eradicate the fact that White South Africa ever existed, and it's about time that someone noticed. They're replacing English and Afrikaans towns with new Zulu/Xhosa names. They're slowly but surely forcing whites out of the workplace with their "Affirmative Action" policies. And they're slaughtering and raping the rest.
Please don't take this as a racist post - despite being one of the so-called evil white South Africans of English and Afrikaaner descent, I'm not racist and I despise racism of every kind. I have friends of every race, colour and creed. But I'm sorry, what's going on in South Africa right now is racism, and it has to stop. Apartheid was horrible, and the reverse apartheid that is going on right now is just as bad, if not worse. Of course, there will be thousands of black South Africans who are opposed to what is going on. Just like there were thousands of white South Africans who were opposed to apartheid. And there are a lot of black South Africans who are also dying at the hands of other black South Africans. However, there is no denying that the number of crimes commited against whites for no reason other than race is on the rise.

This is an example of what Johannesburg is being reduced to. My father, who was born in and grew up around Johannesburg could hardly believe his eyes. The whole place is a bloody squatter camp now. And the scary thing is, ten years ago, ten bloody years ago, it looked nothing like this! All thanks to our great leader Thabo Mbeki and his corrupt cronies.
And I saved the worst link for last. Please DO NOT visit this site if you are offended by graphic photographs. Believe me, they are graphic.

Black South Africans did that to white farmers...because they were white. No other reason. Those images made me cry because I know that either one of those people could have easily been me. It's terrifying to know that if I were still living in South Africa right now, I could be killed for saying "Ja" instead of "Yebo."
Forgive me for rambling on, but as someone who still holds South African citizenship, it was very disturbing to find out just how bad things have gotten at home. In fact, it makes me downright furious. This has had its effects on my family as well, all of whom are still living in Cape Town and Johannesburg. My cousin, who is the same age as I am, has been mugged three times whilst travelling by train in Cape Town. The last time, he was held at gun and knife point, insulted by his black attackers for being white. In the meantime, everyone else in the station went about their own business without even batting an eyelid. He doesn't ride trains anymore. My fifteen-year-old cousin sleeps in my aunt's bedroom every night because she is terrified that people will come in through her window and rape her. Her fears are warranted, because their neighbours were broken into by black South Africans just last week. My grandmother in Johannesburg has been broken into several times. Just after my family and I left South Africa in 1996, our neighbours were shot to death in their shop.
"Statistically a South African is 12 times as likely to be murdered than the average American and his chances of being killed are 50 times greater than if he lived in Western Europe. In countries not at war, only a Colombian has a greater chance of dying in a hail of gunfire." (Source)
It has to stop. After seeing some of this stuff, particularly the pictures of those farmers, I know I can never return to my home unless something is done to reverse all of this.

Crime Wave “Worse Than Ever” – It Seems Like Every Second Person is a Victim, says Police Spokesman
Last month airline manager Clay Pierre-Louis and Cape Town journalist Megan Herselman were shot dead, in separate attacks, at the Rivonia Road off-ramp in Sandton. The only thing stolen in either case was Pierre-Louis’ cellphone.
Another recent murder without apparent motive was that of John Wharton, who was shot dead in his Melville, Johannesburg, driveway, his attackers leaving without taking his car, two cellphones, wallet or firearm.
Perhaps the most terrifying trend is the torture. North West smallholding resident Frans Pieterse was tortured for more than four hours in front of his wife and two children three weeks ago. His attackers burnt him with scalding water and cut his head open before strangling him to death with a shoelace. They poured melted plastic onto his 10-year-old son.
Policemen Attack White Woman in Pretoria
The latest incident happened in Verwoerdburg (sorry, Centurion) when a New South African in full police uniform greeted Heidi Bothma, 36, politely before hitting her in the face with a gun and throwing her on the ground before another policeman raced away in her car.
Heidi had to crawl to the neighbours' gate with a bleeding lip after three policemen fled when she started screaming. At the gate she kept ringing the bell in order to get help. Her husband Justin, 43, rushed to her aid, but had to keep their five-year-old daughter inside to prevent her from seeing what had happened to her mother.
Heidi said when she explained to the child that somebody had taken her handbag, the girl looked at her bruised lip and offered her her own Lip Ice, as her mother's had been taken along with the handbag.
The Bothmas were visiting friends barely two kilometres from their home in Pierre van Ryneveld in Centurion when Bothma briefly left to visit another friend. "When I arrived at our friends' house again shortly after 20:00, a white Volkswagen stopped next to me," she said. "A man dressed in a police uniform approached me and said hello."
The next moment he took out a gun and hit Bothma on the mouth. "He threw me to the ground, got on top of me and tried to rip off my blouse to see whether I was wearing jewellery," she said.
"I couldn't remove my watch quickly enough and thought he was going to shoot me," she said.
She said another robber, also dressed in blue uniform and boots, got into her green Hyundai while she was being assaulted. The third "policeman" remained seated in the Volkswagen.
"I screamed as loudly as I could, upon which they escaped in both cars. "I crawled to the gate and kept pressing the bell," she said.
Bothma, a businesswoman, said her husband and a friend pursued the suspects into Tembisa, but couldn't find them. "I had no reason to suspect the 'policemen' would harm me," she said.
"How can one know in an instant whether they are policemen or not?"
"They took everything - my identity document, driver's licence, more than R1 000 in cash, bank cards, jewellery and our car," she said. "I had to borrow money this morning to buy milk and bread for my child."
New South African Mother Killed her Baby Because he was “too White”
Minutes after giving birth to a baby boy in her own bathroom, Puleng Lephuting put the child in a toilet and flushed it over and over again, until he was dead. Then she took the body and placed it on a rubbish heap outside her house.
And for that, 24-year-old Lephuting, of Welkom, received a sentence of just 2 000 hours in jail. But it will not be 2 000 consecutive hours: she will only spend her weekends as a prisoner, at the women's prison in Kroonstad, and will be free to do as she pleases on weekdays.
Lephuting this week entered into a plea agreement with the State. She admitted to murdering her own baby on July 13 last year after realising that the child was possibly the product of an affair, as it "was too white".
Just disgusting.
