Not Long after the Pilgrim Fathers landed in America, South Africa's founder, Jan Van Riebeeck, initiated the saga of the White Man's struggle to survive in the hostile African continent.

Self-preservation is the first principle of nature.
After Van Riebeeck's settlement it has been true grit all the way: battles with the climate, the soil, African Savages, English Imperialism, Marxism and world hostility amplified through the mouthpiece of the United Nations.

Today the South African Defense Force has been forced under political treason to endure over a decade of chaos, made to sit back and watch those whom it defended with great success now slaughtered in a silent genocide across the entire territory.

Separate Development

Dr. Verwoerd's policy of 'separate development' is regrettably commonly confused with Gen. Smuts' apartheid.

Separate Development sought to pre-empt the need for large scale migration of people to the towns and cities, by developing the economies of the homelands instead.

Verwoerd argued that a policy of economic decentralization would make for a peaceful multicultural society, with each community exercising its right of political self-determination, 

the political catch phrase after World War II.

Industrialists were encouraged with all sorts of tax incentives and labor benefits to establish industries on the homeland borders, resulting in a symbiotic relationship between labor and capital within a common economic system.

During the sixty's and seventy's, the country experienced an unprecedented economic growth. Unemployment was at its lowest in history.

Each homeland had its own Development Corporation. Large communal estates were established, which provided jobs for thousands of peasant workers and which injected millions of dollars into the communal coffers.

Tea estates, coffee plantations, citrus and dissiduous fruit estates with their own canning and processing facilities earned valuable foreign exchange for homelands and the region as a whole.

Universities and Technikons were established for each language group, decentralized in line with the overall policy and turning out thousands of literate black professionals.

New capital cities were built, each with its own parliament and administration complexes. South Africa's taxpayers gladly paid for "...these excesses of apartheid..." as they are being called nowadays.

Mother tongue education was the philosophy for primary, as well as high schools where practicable. Ironically, these institutions became the training ground for South Africa's black rulers of the New South Africa.

It was never understood that social apartheid was a distorted product of the country's British colonial history, whereas Separate Development is the application of the modern concept of Self-Determination for ethnic groups to preserve their identities and to foster peaceful co-existence with others without competing for the same resources.

There is no comparison between the economic development of the South African black homelands and the development of the independent neighboring black states outside South Africa's borders. Tragically, those 'apartheid' training grounds that served today's black leaders so well, have become relics of an apartheid past.

The development corporations have been disbanded.

The estates have been allowed to go to ruin.

Millions of jobless and roofless people are flocking to the cities and towns and live in abject poverty conditions in tin shacks, posing serious health and security problems in breeding grounds for crime.

A high price paid for a simplistic democratic system, now recognized by those familiar with the situation as a majoritarian tyranny.

An untenable social engineering process of nation building sustainable in a country with its deep historical ethnic fault lines.

Afrikaners are a crucial element to ensure the development of South Africa and the African continent.

Requiring acceptance and respect as White Africans with their own peculiar cultural needs, which they want to transfer to their children without interference and to be allowed to participate freely in the economy.

The following maps of South Africa & South West Africa illustrate the average yearly rainfall and therefore the fertility of the land, comparing this with the location of Nation States. Clearly dismissing the fallacy that the Bantustans were not located on arable land. These were the areas in which the Bantu tribes had settled around the early 1700's.
