An Excellent Open Letter to President Jacob Zuma, posted to Facebook Group: Ek is 'n BOER, en TROTS daarop!, by Marietjie Smuts, that needs to be read by every South AfricanLet’s be honest. The apartheid system that was toppled in 1994 was NOT a good system, I agree with that. I personally have NEVER voted for the NP either, because for longer than I care to remember, they were busy with their plan to bury our country… Their plan was hatched when Dr. Verwoerd – a GOOD man - decided we will NOT become members of the Commonwealth, and everything that it would entail! The West could therefore no longer get their grubby and greedy paws on our country’s riches, and Dr. Verwoerd had to be eliminated! Why? Because what he planned on doing, threatened to WORK! It threatened to turn this country into a rich, thriving, AND INDEPENDENT country! A country that would not have had to listen to the orders or manipulations of other countries!
Why? Because ONLY by allowing EVERY ethnic group to govern himself in his own traditional areas, by investing the country’s riches in separate development ACROSS the country, and by supporting all these ethnic groups in their own areas, could you solve the problems we are faced with today! Over population, unemployment, crime, oppression of minorities! So they eliminated Dr. Verwoerd! And the process to break the country’s back was started! Apartheid was invented, and they made sure it was put into place at the same rate as it was being condemned across the world, so that sanctions could be brought in against the country…
Why did this happen, why did this succeed? Because it was carefully manipulated and DESIGNED to become a disaster… They designed our country’s downfall, and they did not care how they used us, its inhabitants! It was never meant to help the indigenous people of Africa! The West has never cared one bit about what happened in Africa! I lived in Europe for 5 years! I know what their attitude is!
“Let Africa rot! As long as we get the gold and the diamonds, the titanium, the platinum, the oil, whatever we need! And while they kill each other with the guns we are so kind to supply them with, while we fuel their ethnic fights, we even get them to mine the minerals - cheaply!” Yes, when it’s not black against white, it is tribe against tribe…

Open Letter to President Jacob Zuma
by Marietjie Smuts
Ek is 'n BOER, en TROTS daarop!
Dear Mr. President,
I will address you with the necessary respect, as President of South Africa, not because I voted for you, but because you were elected into a position of power, as President of my beloved country, and are therefore deserving of respect. This is however merely an official formality. That being said, I want to remind you what this position actually implies! What you need to do to be deserving of that respect!
You as the President of our country is RESPONSIBLE for this huge country of ours! For ALL its inhabitants, no matter what ethnic group! I will as far as possible refrain from using colour here, as this should NEVER have been an issue! It was TURNED into an issue – by people who only had their own best interests in mind! And they were NOT from here! They were not from South Africa, or even Southern Africa, they were NOT from Africa!
YOUR NAME will be recorded in history! History that you are still busy writing… You have the option of how you want to be remembered… The President who continued the downward spiral of the newest African country to bite the dust, while the West – and lately the East in the form of China too - applauded and continued to rape our country, sucking it dry of all its minerals and other riches? Like the rest of Africa? Will you be the president who will continue to be used as a puppet, happy to fill his own pockets, and that of his friends and family, happy to at least be one of those “previously disadvantaged” who can now benefit from the scraps left over by the World’s Money Markets… While the rest of your country gets poorer, and unrest bubbles up all around you, fuelled by those same people who are sucking it dry. With only one sure end, your own certain downfall?

OR, can you pull the rug from underneath those puppeteer’s feet! You can show what you are really capable of, and you can help to rewrite history! You can turn the tide of destruction – IF you are willing and able to STOP being manipulated! I do not need to tell you by whom! You know that very well!
It is up to you to choose honour, to EARN a place in history, NOT because you were turned into a “god” by the media, by those people who wanted to cripple and suck our country dry, who thought the average person in this country would be pacified with promises of freedom, with a man-made icon that did NOT actually do anything for them! Because, let’s face it, the bulk of this country is worse off today than 15 years ago! The only difference, those people who helped build this country al these years, are driven from the country… By crime, by unfair practices, by reverse apartheid… And the whole country is SUFFERING because of that!
 Vierkleur Wapper Weer! @ Facebook |
You of all people should know why you were elected – the election was after all a carefully staged political farce filled with promises that could never be kept – like all elections before this one. But you do not need to feel guilty, because every single politician in that election did exactly the same! They had people doing their planning, deciding on what would be the most acceptable approach, what would people most likely fall for… What would move them to make their cross in the “right” place. Not ONE spent any time on thinking or planning how they will put their money where their mouths are! NO! It was all about the ultimate prize. Which party would win… And that’s it – until the next election. Once in the saddle, they would just have to ride the “rodeo” for as long as possible. And bad luck for the ones who do not make it…
I do know that at least to a certain extent, you of all people may have had at least a tad more honesty and drive, and to a certain extent you really wanted what is best for YOUR people… The Zulu nation. Because just like I am proud to be called a BOER, you are proud to be called a ZULU. Because we are both members of an indigenous African nation, I have the freedom to write this letter, because I have felt for many months that it is time that we face our country’s REAL enemies! To a certain extent I also feel sorry for you, because you inherited a political cesspool that is doomed, it can never work, it WILL never work. Because what you are doing, by continuing on the road you are, is like trying to hold on to water using a sieve… You and I know that the road the ANC is travelling today, can NEVER lead to any really free and flourishing country… Because that road was NOT designed to succeed, the idea was NEVER for it to reach a happy ending!

They only cared about their own pockets! You of all people, and in the position you are today, know what I mean! This “staged” toppling of an “apartheid government” that was firstly SHAPED to become a disaster was a weapon used by money-hunger powers OUTSIDE our country to get hold of our country! But it was put into place by those vile human beings, members of our own groups, our own leaders, who betrayed us! And all the different ethnic groups in our lovely country were incited against each other, the way you incite dogs to fight against each other by throwing a bloody piece of meat amongst them! So we turned on each other, and we forgot about what is really going on behind the scenes!
We forgot about the fact that we have a lovely country, filled with minerals. Minerals that are coveted by other countries! Whose envious eyes did not miss a single carat of diamonds, a single ounce of gold that they could not in some way or another lay claim to. Countries that have NOT STOPPED BEFORE to lay their greedy paws on what is rightfully ours! That belonged to ALL the people of Southern Africa!
I want you to be honest with yourself! Since apartheid has gone, things have NOT improved, BEE is NOT working, crime is getting completely out of hand, and it does NOT only affect the whites in this country!
Mr. Zuma, it is time that you face the facts! You DO NEED US WHITES! You can not continue to trample us, to push us down, to punish us for crimes we did NOT commit against your people! Those crimes were committed by a government that was also manipulated, the way you are manipulated today! The real criminals were the people in that government that knew full well what they did and why they did it! And the people who deserve to be punished, are those who helped stage this game of Monopoly! And yes, you may want to stone me, but this includes Mr. Mandela and Mr. De Klerk! They knew al along what the real intentions were! They were given parts to play in this grand farce! And they were promised a life-time’s glory for their part! You, Mr. Zuma, were scheduled to bite the dust… To be seen as a loser, like Mr. Mbeki… you will be made out as one of Africa’s losers because you did not have the “guts” that Mr Mandela had. BUT this would be because people would conveniently forget that Mr. Mandela was a man “made” by the media… That his so-called “guts” was nothing but a staged farce!
All those things he is still being applauded for, are in fact empty words, they are ALL based on the media’s careful creations, their “works of art”! If you do not believe me, then ask yourself – why would the West still sing all those praises, why would Mr. Mandela be important to them? What did he really do for the West?
 Afrikaanse Blanke Boere Mag (ABBM) @ Facebook |
Nothing! Except, South Africa rejoined the Common Wealth within weeks after the ANC came into power, effectively opening South Africa’s mineral wealth to the West, sharing it’s riches, allowing the big companies to milk every drop from our country. Yes, I think the West has reason to praise Mr. Mandela… But WE do NOT!
Mr. Zuma, isn’t it time that we also look at Zimbabwe, that we learn a few lessons there? You of all people should know that the West hate Mr. Mugabe. Why? Because he withdrew from the Common Wealth, and because of that, they have absolutely no hold on him, or his country’s riches, except to push for more sanctions, ESPECIALLY now that it has become know that Zimbabwe also has a huge amount of diamonds up for grabs in the east of the country. So, what do we learn from this? The West is definitely interested in Africa, yes, but not to help it… Only to line it’s own coffins!
But that’s not all – we all know that Mr. Mugabe’s track record and the way he has been treating his white citizens, especially his farmers, the people who has to feed his nation, is absolutely horrendous! I can understand that he has made the mistake to see all whites as “Colonists”, as a reflection of the “West”, of the people who tried to steal his country. But this has cost him dearly! Not only has he wrecked his country, he has earned a name that will go down in history as one to hate. As a murderer of his people… I know he has reason to feel the way he does about whites – I too feel that way – to a certain extent! Because I know there ARE people who try to milk our country, to milk Africa. But they are NOT the indigenous people of Africa! They are NOT the people who also love this country!
South Africa is MY country too! I was away for 5 years and I hated every moment of it, because this country’s heart beat is MY heart beat too! It is my dearest wish, and that of hundreds of thousands of other South Africans, black AND white, to make a success of this country, to make it one of the best countries in the world!
And it IS POSSIBLE! But only if we STOP the influence other countries have on us, UNCLUDING the WEST and CHINA! Because those people have only one interest in this land, to fill their own pockets! Unless you are born in a country, you can never really have its best interests at heart! BELIEVE ME!
But the most important thing, Mr. Zuma, you will have to admit that which you know in your heart! Every ethnic group has a RIGHT to belong to an ethnic group. It is WRONG to force them all into one mould! Just like you are proud to be Zulu, I am proud to be called a Boer, just like others are proud to be called Xhosa, or Venda or Sotho, or which ever ethnic group they belong to!
We will ONLY become a UNITED and PROSPEROUS South Africa if we can live together, separated by our ETHNIC heritage! If EVERY ethnic group could be allowed to govern himself by his own Ethnic Council, in his OWN area or State, in his own language, his own culture, then those Ethnic Council’s, or “Volksrade” could govern our country together in a joint Council of States or whatever you want to call it! If the country’s riches could be used to support and develop each and every State, according to his population and needs, then our country will experience a fantastic growth rate, and places that were previously left undeveloped because people were flocking to the large cities in the hope of a miracle, will become repopulated and developed, with the entire country benefitting from this!

Mr. Zuma, now I want to share the last and most important thing with you. Our country is in the mess it is because we were mislead by unscrupulous people, who wanted us to believe we can and have to live without each other! We all fell for this! Black and White, and that is why we are in the position we are today!
We should realise that a country is like a human body, and its people are its organs… EVERY SINGLE ORGAN IS REQUIRED FOR OPTIMUM HEALTH! The intestines are NOT less important than the stomach, the brain is NOT more important than the heart, and the liver can NOT replace the kidneys! Take a limb or an eye or any of the senses away, and the body will suffer, take an organ away, and it will die!
The ANC kicked off with BEE on the road to crush its “former enemy”, as it was lead to believe, its white citizens, and I still find it hard to believe that Mr. Mandela should deserve any praise at all for instigating this horrible injustice – not just to the white people, but to the entire country!
Mr. Zuma, lets face it and let’s admit it, every ethnic group has its own advantages and its own plus points. If you were willing to admit this, you will realise that by forcing white people out of their jobs, by filling those jobs with people who were NOT the best person for the job, but who were chosen based on skin colour, “apartheid” was basically continued, and the entire country suffered! Because everyone, black and white, felt it in his pocket!
I am not talking of those select few who happened to get the best positions because they knew the right people, or because they betrayed their own people, be they black or white, I am talking of the general public, those people YOU are responsible for, like a father!
Mr. Zuma, you have mentioned on numerous occasions that you are a Christian, and I believe one of your wives really is a practising Christian. I want to challenge you today. I want to make a call on your conscience! On your sense of justice.
I want you to sit back and block out the shouts of your advisors, those people who are manipulating you, who are basically running this country through you… I want you to listen to your own heart! I want you to think about what you want to see written in the annals of history. Do you - Zuma - want to be compared to Shaka – or Dingane? Do you want to be known as the saviour of South Africa, or as the one under whose guidance it all came tumbling down? Would it not be better to become known as the ONE African ruler who had the foresight to save his country - by tapping into the endless supply of brain power of his INDIGENOUS WHITE citizens? By thus being able to beat the West at their own game of Monopoly! By making a chess move nobody could expect in their wildest dreams, because it would be the ONE move that would foil all their careful moves! That they did NOT expect!
Because we have reached the crossroads, of that I am sure… You can only pacify people to a certain point before they start to take matters in their own hands, especially when they are being urged on by devious minds… And I have seen dark forces at work in our country, Mr. Zuma, and I am afraid it is NOT only from the right wing… And it is NOT just from outside either. I am sure you know exactly what I am talking about. This is also why you are loathe to make any decisions, any real moves, why you are still trying to keep everyone happy… Mr. Zuma, they will not allow you to keep this up for much longer, and because we both live in the same country, because your fall will indirectly also be my fall, and that of my dear ones, of my own people, and the rest of the people in South Africa who WILL be affected by this, I have to urge you here to think about what this country really need!
 Verwoerd : Last South African President @ Facebook |
I have an answer, but I am afraid very few people are interested in it. Because I cannot be bothered by party politics, my honour and my word can not be bought, and I am not dreaming or yearning for eternal fame or fortune for myself or my own people, my solution will not be acceptable to those only interested in feathering their own nests, those whose hearts are literally as dark as night, those who cannot feel the heartbeat of our beloved country. Because they can only see the sun shining on themselves. They want full and complete power for themselves. And these people are both black and white!
Mr. Zuma, the day our country will be governed by a council who only has the best interests of ALL the people in mind, consisting of Ethnic Leaders from EVERY indigenous Ethnic group, the day that a South African will be treated as a South African irrespective whether he is black or white, male or female, the day when a South African will be given a job because he is the BEST person for the job, THAT day will be a glorious day, and the beginning of a wonderful future for this country!
BEE is the worse thing that could EVER have happened to this country! It was only intended to bleed the country to death, slowly but CERTAINLY! Apartheid was only renamed and the tables were turned, it was called BEE, but it meant death for this country, because where apartheid still had financial growth of the country and ALL its inhabitants in mind, BEE effectively severed the economy’s main artery! It ensured that the best people to do the job, would be replaced by people who frequently did not have an inkling of what they did, and who quite often only wanted to get rich quickly – at the cost of our country! I do not need to go into detail… But let’s use the Rugby world-cup as an example… You know that if the quota system were enforced on the Springbok team, they would NEVER have won that cup! But the best players were selected…
Why can’t we go for gold in our country’s economy too?
Apartheid should have been redesigned, restructured – it should have culminated in SEPARATE DEVELOPMENT, the way it was intended at the start! Not black and white being separated, but separated as ethnic groups, as Ethnic States. In comparison, just like Europe has its European Union, consisting of many different countries, or like America has its different States, some small, some large, all of them contributing to each other’s welfare and future, but each one still ruling himself. WHY DOES IT WORK FOR THEM? WHY WERE AFRICA STOPPED FROM DOING THE SAME?
THINK!
Thus, we can be kept in a constant state of anarchy! Constantly fighting each other! While they keep on feathering their nests with the spoils of Africa…
Because that which was initially planned by the NP, all those years ago, would have worked, with a few modifications, as with ANY evolution and invention process! Because it is EXACTLY the way the West is governing itself! But good, honest people should have worked on this planning, people who made decisions in the best interest of their own Ethnic group, elected by those people, and based on THAT, decisions should have been made for the entire country, and NOT manipulated and prescribed by outsiders! We should NEVER have allowed the forces from outside to fool us!
Mr. Zuma, if everybody in this country can accept that we all need each other, especially once those in power like yourself, would be willing to face those people who have been misleading us, and tell them in no uncertain words that South Africa will in future do what is best for ALL its people, without being manipulated, only then will we be able to become the successful first-world country we can be! A WORLD LEADER! But this can only happen when YOU realise that you sit with a country full of people with their own particular talents and skills! When you start LEADING in stead of being LEAD!
To do that, you need to remember that you have an Indigenous source of people who CAN make a difference! Just like it is a well-know fact that black athletes have the best stamina, it is time to accept that there are certain things that your white citizens CAN do better. They ARE good at building a first-world civilization! They ARE good at generating wealth and progress, in which EVERYBODY can share! And those God-fearing Christian citizens, (yes, there ARE many of those) will NOT stoop down to only line their own pockets, because this goes against everything they believe in!
Accepting this is not admitting defeat! It is just accepting facts! Just like a man has to accept that a woman was born to bring children into this world, he cannot do it himself, and it doesn’t make him a bad human being, a loser. On the contrary, because he also knows that she cannot conceive that child without his help!
 Boycott 2010 World Cup @ Facebook |
Mr. Zuma, it is time for us all to accept that we MUST work together to heal this country, SIDE BY SIDE! But NOT forced down each other’s throats! The LATTER would only be a recipe for disaster! As it has been to date!
Let’s take an example – our gold-resources. If the white people of this country did not discover it and develop the infrastructure all those years ago, those mines would never have been there! If the Afrikaners and Blacks did not work in those mines, breaking their backs, nothing would have come from it! But it made our country strong!
The sad example I can not leave out here, is the fact that we were unfortunately also then victims of other countries’ greed and need! Train loads of foreigners poured into our country like grasshoppers, devouring everything they could lay their hands and eyes on – black and white! And we all know what happened… This is happening once again… Zimbabwe’s problem is now becoming our problem, and our own people who already do not have work or enough to eat, once again are threatened…
Then came China, and Africa is blinded by the new wave of colonisation. Will we wake up too late, once again?
This country needs a TOTAL CHANGE! For the better!
And Mr. Zuma, you can do it, you can start it!
The future is in your hands. The question remains, will it be doomed to be a disaster? Or will it be the dawn of a new and brighter day for the whole of Southern Africa?
Because if we can make it work for South Africa, we can make it work for the rest of Southern Africa! IT IS POSSIBLE!
It is up to you!

I totally support the comments of Marietjie Smuts to Mr Zuma. We as white South Africans, do not want conflict with our other colored South Africans! The majority of us endured the changes in a peaceful manner, in the hope that it would create a better South Africa for all. What we create and do today, depends on what our children are left with tommorrow. I am a proud white Christian South African, but I never let the colour of my skin determine who I am, but rather display who I am by my beliefs, ie. love my neighbour like myself, do to others as I want done unto myself, irrespective of their colour, race or beliefs. That is what God tells us to do. Unfortanely we are white South Africans, labeled as racists and instinctly blaimed for all the wrong doings of the current and previous governments, that were not able to produce what they promised. To all South Africans of South Africa, of all colours, I want to say, we are NOT YOUR ENEMY. We want ALL to succeed and we want to leave a future country of prosperaty to our children, so they may live in harmony together. I have seen that those whom plead for righteousness against so called previous "discrimination", are the lazy ones that do not want to work and want it all handed to them for free. If not they take to the streets with violence or threats. Since 1994 to 2009 a long time has passed - stop blaming others for your shortcomings. You are responsible for your own success. Work hard to achieve your goals. We currently have a fatherless generation. We have to all look inward and evaluate our morals and values and again bestow it on our children to act accordingly. We leave our children to grow up by themselves, instead of responably guiding them. Our children look up to us and mimic everything we do. What are they learning from us and our leaders, by what we are now teaching them? The leaders have so much power in their hands and can do so much good, if they only have the "guts" to stand up for what is right. South Africa is dying!! While our leaders stop caring, everything around us is also colapsing. Our roads, for instance, are decaying, we have a poor education system, our hospitals are in a mess, to name a few - the leaders don´t care and it shows. No one shows pride and mutual respect anymore. Look at the police and armed forces - I remember the days when you had to abide by certain rules before you could wear the uniform. Your image in uniform, said a lot to those you protected -you were not permitted to wear the uniform if you were over weight and not well groomed. Standards has not been maintained and no one has been held responsible or accountable for not doing so. In most well governed countries in the world, the people respect their forces, because they maintain law and order. Something WE ALL want. In South Africa this rule does not apply. The current leaders are responsable to maintain standards, but themselves go astray and do not speak out or take action against murderers, rapists or thiefs, because the country has no guideline or a basis for morality. The truth be told - what will our leaders do, when those affected, start taking justice into their own hands, to protect their civil rights, as everyone in South Africa has the right too protection and freedom under the Constitution. If the government fails to provide that, what is left for it´s people to do? Or what will you do Mr President, or Minister, if a loved one of yours gets hacked to death or shot, for a cell phone or a few Rand. I love and care for my country, dont you? I care who governs it properly. I want South Africa to heal again. We can do it, together!
