		<description>Jonn,
Mail me contact particulars to gerriehugo_at_yahoo.co.uk. It is a mail box that I do not mind being spammed so I have no fear of putting it up here. I will then get back to you with a few suggestions.

I believe the root cause of the problem of the rest of the world's opnion of white people in South Africa can be found in the following:
The typical knee-jerk reaction, to the current situation in SA, by some, enhances the "rock-spider," racists views and opinions. I refer to websites like poes.co.za and writings by the "prophet" Dan Roodt to mention only two.
This is not the real image or facts to be found on the ground and covers a very small part of the whites in South Africa. However, with opnions like these, the world can hide behind the throw-away attitude of "see they are all unrepentant racists."
These issues should be addressed by normal concerned South African before any progress can be expected internationally.
NOTE TO OTHER READERS: The "Boere" I refer to is not your average normal white South African but a small percentage of them.
I for one hang my head in shame because of websites and opinions like that.
Only when these warped opnions have been addressed can the real problems be tackled. 

As for the acts and ammendments, I would like to be pointed towards the source as I believe there is material that can be used effectively.

I also need to menton that your figure of 20 000 murders per year is somewhat conservative. In 2005 the then chairman of the Lawyers for Human Rights in SA shared with me that the figures are closer to 29 000 per year.
Stay well until we communicate on another forum than this.

		<description>Hi Jonn,
Thanks for the comments. I really do appreciate it. I will get back to tomorrow with a proper response to the issues raised. I take care of my wife who suffers from MS and she needs my attention right now. Very briefly a few answers: 
I arrived in Sweden in 2002 and since 2003 I have returned to South Africa twice. The last time was more than two years ago. I keep abreast of affairs in South Africa by means of the web as well as a circle of dear friends whose opinions I valued highly.
I mean business with my efforts and will do what it takes for the world to take notice and/or act. I have been accused by ex military types in South Africa of fuelling anti-white sentiments because I dared to write a brutally honest account of my life in the military. More of that later.

Best

		<description>Hi Gerrie,

Your knowledge of South African current affairs is indeed impressive and very accurate. It would be interesting to know how long you have been out of South Africa. Also your willingness to do something about the plight of this beautiful country.

In addition to your latest comments on the blog there are some other things which are pertinent, i.e.;   

What is becoming clear is that very few of the ANC politicians who now ride on the laurels of ‘freedom fighters’ actually did any freedom fighting at all and when they did, it was against innocent members of the public aka Robert McBride who bombed a pub full of civilians, killed a number of innocent people, males and females, and was made chief of police in KZN for his efforts. What the ANC actually did do was to languish in the liberal halls of Europe, the UK and the USA, amongst other places, playing the victims and sprouting anti-white propaganda and hate speech to justify their keep.   

This has resulted in white South Africans having a terrible image overseas. It is inaccurate, unjustified and unfair and has resulted in much negative opinion and political actions against whites in this country. This situation can only be reversed if people overseas are shown the truth about the historical and current role of whites in South Africa. There is therefore a huge PR job which has to be done and that seems to be one of the things which you are doing on your blog. A lot more of that is required in other countries as well and, realistically, as to how that is to be done, we do not have all the answers right now. However, it is a point that might benefit through some discussion.

Those countries and politicians such s the UK and the USA, that have previously supported the ANC ‘struggle’ through sanctions, financial support, political and other means and, in fact, have brought about a change in government in South Africa, have to understand that they have to shoulder some of the responsibility of what is taking place in, amongst other things, Zimbabwe and South Africa. If 20 000 people per year are being murdered here, which is indeed the case, that is also on their heads and our small group here are indeed willing to make the leaders of these countries aware of their responsibility and ultimately take them to some international court if there is no action. All that one, ultimately, want from them is to do an honest, factual, investigation and assessment, through the eyes of those that are suffering the abuses, not government officials, of what is happening in South Africa right now, to understand where it is headed, and do something lasting about it e.g. how can it be right that the ANC government has since 1994, promulgated more than 50 different acts or amendment acts discriminating against white people, barring them from getting jobs, from getting contracts, from owning businesses, making it legal to occupy and steal the land of white people, excluding them from the much vaunted Constitution, which is supposed to protect the rights of all, etc. etc. etc. on the basis of the arguments that the minority group of less than half a million economically active whites present a threat to the rights, livelihood and land ownership of 55 million blacks who, as you rightly stated, are in power, and will be in power for many years due to their large numbers and unbridled breeding.

More later but for now, any suggestions or information pertaining to international bodies or courts where these issues can be addressed will be welcome.

Greetings, Jonn.</description>

		<description>The situation in South Africa is following the same course as that in Zimbabwe - more subtle, not the bull in a China Shop methods of Mugabe - but also heading for a fall.</description>
