Their civilization was based on milk, and they invaded from the Northeast, supplanting the indigenous Khoi and San. > - It took TWO generations (1702) before White met Black in South Africa, 500-600 miles east of Cape Town. It took FIVE generations (1780) before the first major armed clash at roughly the same spot: The Great Fish River. > - No indigenous Black South African person was ever enslaved by any white man from anywhere. But, Nelson Mandela’s amaXhosa did enslave the amaFengu. Mozambique and Angola were the nearest places the Portuguese traded in slaves. The Portuguese slave routes bypassed the coast of South Africa. > - It is the White South Africans, not the Black, whose ancestors were slaves of the Dutch. They were often Indian or Indonesian and sometimes Black East- or West African. This White author has a Black West African slave ancestor. > - The Afrikaner was NOT part of Europe’s Late 1800s “Scramble for Africa”; they gave their lives fighting Imperial Britain’s Colonialist Expansion in two wars. > - The Germans did NOT invent concentration camps. The British created concentration camps for Afrikaners during the Great Boer War of 1899-1902. Of the author’s Booyens family who entered those camps, 57% died there in 1901.” > “For the last few decades, White South Africans have had to silently listen to racist politician after racist politician systematically create an impermeable wall of lies on the subject of how white people ostensibly “Stole South Africa from Black People“. They do this in order to dispossess white citizens of their rights in their own country that took them 365 years of blood, sweat and tears to build. These politicians then take to the stage to dance around and chant “Kill the Boer” (farmer) and incite racial hatred among uneducated Black people who need a scapegoat for their misery, a misery that is caused by the very same government. > http://reclaimingrhodesia.com/south-africa-the-drop-dead-important-historical-facts
