I was born in South Africa. My parents are South African. My children are South
African. We carry no passports other than South African ones. My grandparents were
naturalized South Africans being originally from Europe – England, Ireland, Holland
and Germany to be specific. They were attracted here, invited here, offered citizenship
here, accepted here, employed here and happy here.
At no stage were they part of a foreign marauding tribe that dispossessed anybody.
They observed the laws of the land, worked hard, bought land, built houses, paid
taxes, educated their children and loved their adopted country South Africa. They
fought as South African troops in the two great wars. They absorbed the derision,
scorn and sanction meted by the international community in the Apartheid years
between 1948 and 1994 even though they voted against the governing party of the
day. They never once supported nor condoned the policy of separate development. I
am a South African and proud of it.
Why then are certain ANC Parliamentarians telling me to go back where I came from?
I came from here, South Africa. I have no other country that I call home. This is the
country in which I was born and I still live here.

There are a lot of South Africans in a similar position. We are stuck in a country that
we used to call home. Once the domain of the noble savage it has become the enclave
of the savage nobles. South Africa has become a typical African Kleptocracy in its
decline to third world standards through greedy elitism and black on black
suppression. The governing party has surrendered the country’s position as the
leading nation on the African Continent to become a mere also-ran.
We expected too much in 1994. With the collapse of communism, we anticipated with
the ANC under Mandela, South Africa would subscribe to Western Democracy. For a
while under him and later Mbeki, we did just that. We applied Western Economic
Policies and stepped back from the precipice upon which we were finely balanced.
Under Zuma that all changed. We are now in bed with Indian Gangsters, Russian
Oligarchs, Chinese Colonialists, Impoverished Brazilians and anyone else who will pay
Zuma and his cronies enough money.
Who stole my country?
