AnnaG - why the hell not - let us apologise for everything.
I am a South African with ancestral roots from the UK (my forefathers landed here about 200 years ago) . You guys need to know a bit about SA's history to understand that it is as much ours as the blacks. There were no blacks living in the Cape when the Dutch settled; the people that the Dutch met there were called Hottentots, Strandlopers and a few Bushman, but they were wiped out mainly through contracting diseases that they had no natural immunity to.
If you see a map of South Africa the first blacks (Xhosa's) that the settlers encountered were living near the Kei River. They had been driven there by the constant warring between them and the Zulu's. Our black population originally came from up north as a result of tribal warfare. So in fact the true indigenous peoples of Southern Africa are the Bushman who are virtually extinct. The only reason why they still exist is because the whites allowed them to live as they have lived for thousands of years and they are happy to do that. The blacks on the other hand hate the Bushman and would have wiped them out years ago (see the following link -
Botswana continues to violate Bushman?s rights - The Botswana Gazette and also Google it).
What I am saying is that I have as much right to live here as the blacks do. We have a nation of approximately 50 million citizens and about 10 million illegals (some say more) from the rest of Africa. Of the 50 million citizens, 45 million are black, about 3,5 million whites and the rest coloured or of Asian decent. We have 5 million registered taxpayers. Of the 3 million whites (including children) more than half are registered taxpayers. More than 75% of all tax collected comes from whites. So if you do the math, you realise that we support the majority of the nation.
I love my country and would prefer to try to save it (by any means possible) before I have to become a burden to another country.
Anyway as to imposing Christianity, I absolutely agree with you. We should have left the blacks to continue with their barbaric practises.
Read the following report on muti practises:
South Africa: Breakthrough in Body Parts Trade Investigation
Date Posted: Saturday 03-Apr-2010Witchdoctors are paying as little as R10 000 for a body brought to them to use in the concoction of muti.
Discovering the price for the illicit trade in bodyparts has been a major breakthrough into the study of the clandestine practice.
The information emerged during the second leg of research into trafficking of body parts, undertaken by Mozambique's Human Rights League, supported by Childline in South Africa.
League project manager Simon Fellows said this week that the project was providing the most comprehensive study into the trafficking of body parts, with even more dramatic revelations expected in the months to come.
The information about the price of the body part was received by the sister-in-law of a victim in KZN. The person who was responsible brought the sister-in-law to a shack, where it appears that the mutilation took place.
"You just get the R10 000 for coming with a person, the muti killer reported," said Fellows.
"The accused confessed to the family after the family found the body early last year," said Fellows.
The sister-in-law reported that the person's eyes, nipples, clitoris and tongue had been cut off.
But Fellows said the revelation was just the tip of the iceberg. In the first report, researchers received 31 people with first-hand accounts of trafficking for body parts. The first project only looked at areas in Mpumalanga, Limpopo and Free State. The new project looks at the entire country.
"We have only just started the next part of the project and already we have 42 first-hand accounts," said Fellows.
And their initial finding was that KwaZulu-Natal was turning out to be a trafficking hotbed.
Earlier this year, the Saturday Star reported that one in five people in South Africa's rural areas had had first-hand experience of a human body part being trafficked after a muti killing.
According to Human Rights League's research, of the body parts mentioned in their accounts male genitals, breasts, hearts, fingers and tongues were the most commonly listed.
Of the more than 413 individuals who attended workshops for the research report, 22 percent of those who were willing to be interviewed had seen a mutilated body with parts missing or a body part separated from a body.
There were 72 accounts relating to the trafficking of body parts mentioned in the report. Of these, 27 were from South Africa.
Between the two countries, 19 different body parts were mentioned as missing from bodies. They included heads, female genital organs, breasts, tongues, ears, eyes, hands, legs, lungs, guts, skin, arms, jaws, lips and fingers.
What remained challenging, though, said Fellows, was establishing where body parts were trafficked to.
"Based on the accounts we received, there is internal trafficking and cross-border trafficking, but it is difficult to establish where the body parts are going. There is talk in SA that witchdoctors come in from outside."
There is one case that the league had had some success in - in Mozambique, where a 10-year-old was mutilated. Two men were arrested. They made full confessions but later retracted them.
What was evident from the men was that the body parts were taken from Mozambique to supply a Mozambican witchdoctor operating in South Africa. Fellows said the veil of secrecy that shrouded the industry was because muti killings were still perceived as a taboo subject.
"We have not been able to find any arrested people who are willing to talk about why its done and where its taken and who its for."
Research has shown that a supply of body parts is coming from Mozambique. "It could be that security at SA's outgoing borders are more stringent," said Fellows.

allAfrica.com: South Africa: Probe Reveals Price of Body Parts for Muti
As for bigotry, and I am sure you are not a bigot at all, the blacks here are the biggest bigots of all. Many insist on wanting to practice their culture and rituals, wearing animal skins, selling their daughters for cattle, testing young girls for virginity, going to witchdoctors, Xhosa tribesmen going for initiation during their teenage years where they are circumcised and made to eat their foreskins (
Male Circumcision in South Africa) , slaughtering cattle and goats in their backyards, etc etc etc but then they wear Armani suits, drive Mercs, BMW's etc, wear expensive watches, drink Johnnie Walker Blue Label and Krystal Champagne, etc etc etc.
I invite you to come for a visit. My girlfriend, who by the way is Canadian, is also here and it only took her a week (okay - she disagrees - she says it was less) to realise the complete savagery of the blacks. I want you to experience it first hand before you comment.
By the way the Soccer world cup is going to be held here and I hear the blacks are going to make a "killing" out of all the foreigners coming here. So get back to me in 10 weeks or so after the World cup starts.
Many Regards
PS - if you do come, please be extremely cautious about sampling the "indigenous" black men - they have the highest incidence of AIDS in the world. Please make sure he wears a condom.
