Nelson Mandela: Speech on Release from Prison, 1990

After a quarter century in jail, Nelson Mandela, the leader of the South African African National Congress, was released and faced the world's press in a speech carried live throughout the world.

Comrades and fellow South Africans, I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy and freedom for all. I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people. Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore place the remaining years of my life in your hands.

On this day of my release, I extend my sincere and warmest gratitude to the millions of my compatriots and those in every corner of the globe who have campaigned tirelessly for my release. I extend special greetings to the people of Cape Town, the city which has been my home for three decades. Your mass marches and other forms of struggle have served as a constant source of strength to all political prisoners.
[Forms of struggle which caused the death of many thousands of blacks and whites in South Africa. It should be noted that by far the vast majority of all political deaths during Apartheid were directly attributable to the ANC]

I salute the African National Congress. It has fulfilled our every expectation In its role as leader of the great march to freedom.

I salute our president, Comrade Oliver Tambo, for leading the ANC even under the most difficult circumstances.

South Africa's Looming Revolution

Still denying the coming revolution against the Marxist-Leninist ANC Regime?

Here is a time-line of articles on the revolution developing in the New South Africa.

In my personal opinion the planned march by the ANCYL on 27 / 28 October is a trial run working towards the real thing.

Julius Malema, Leader of the ANCYL has been warning the ANC Regime that comes 2012 things would change in the New SA.

I foresee that the ANC Election Conference in Mangaung next year will see the start of major political unrest in the New SA.

In anticipation of the Mangaung conference and following the coming revolutionary march by the ANCYL in October, the Marxist-Leninist ANC Regime will declare all and everyone their enemy in a last and desperate attempt to cling onto power ..... at all cost.

By June of next year the revolution would probably escalate to the level where people would be shooting at each other in the streets of the major cities and by October 2012 political upheaval in the New SA could develop into a full-scale civil war.

We are less than one year away from hell in South Africa, a hell forced upon us by the governments and people of the world with the help of the Media.

Let us begin at the beginning, the Making of Revolutionary Terrorist Rebels.

Pamphlet by Marxist-Leninists in the US on the anti-apartheid struggle
"The ANC has received financial support from a variety of sources. These range from the Soviet Union and other Soviet bloc countries to the World Council of Churches, philanthropic organizations, the OAU and some of the Scandinavian governments. Therefore, the ANC has been able to get its message out broadly and maintain high visibility."
"With Nelson Mandela and others in jail, there is the constant reminder of heroes and the role they have played. After the heat of several upsurges has cooled down, there has been the continued image of ANC leadership still incarcerated but making bold and courageous statements. They have become heroes and martyrs of the South African freedom movement."
"Leaders like Nelson Mandela have been consistent in refusing to renounce the armed struggle in exchange for their freedom."
"As a final example, U.S. Secretary of State Shultz made a significant speech last October in which he called apartheid doomed. He said: "the present system is doomed, and the only alternative to a radical, violent outcome is a political accommodation now, before it is too late." In related comments the next day, he said that the South African regime should release Nelson Mandela and deal with the African National Congress. Clearly, the imperialists know that if they want to reach an "accommodation", it can only be with forces that have genuine credibility among the masses."

• In 1994 the world forced South Africa to capitulate and hand-over the reigns of a First-World sovereign State to a Marxist terrorist organisation, the ANC. 
• Nowhere and never had a revolutionary rebel organisation taken over a country and made a success of that country. In every case where a rebel revolutionary organisation took over a country, itself was later overthrown and taken over by yet another revolutionary terrorist rebel organisation.
• The World Media portrayed the ANC, a Marxist terrorist organisation, as an organisation fighting for freedom and called people like Nelson Mandela "Freedom Fighters".
• The ANC had caused the death of thousands upon thousands of people since their founding. 
• The ANC caused the vast majority of deaths during the years of Apartheid and they've been continuing to do so

Is south africa headed for a peoples revolution?
Posted by: Paralyzer 
May 12, 2008
Is South Africa on edge of a "French revolution" style growing within the masses who seem not to be benefiting greatly from the new dispensation. Whilst food, petrol and the general cost of living is sky rotting but our leaders and the middle classes seem not be concerned and are getting fatter and more comfortable.

• The world forced South Africa to submit to greedy self-serving opportunists with ZERO knowledge or experience in politics or governance. The ANC had no experience in politics, they never took part in politics and they never were a political party either. The ANC was nothing other than a Marxist terrorist organisation. They walked into Parliament thinking that they could actually run a country, let alone run a highly advanced First-World country like South Africa. All that happened as a result was that they stepped in and started to enrich themselves by stealing the wealth built up by the previous real Governments.

• Of course the world patted themselves on the backs for their wonderful achievement of sinking a stable country by having forced it to submit to a Marxist terrorist organisation. In the process, with the help of the world media, they raised a heartless terrorist to the status of a messiah, Nelson Mandela.
• The truth is that, as stated by RW Johnson - 'There never was a Mandela miracle – the "real miracle", he says, was how FW de Klerk "led the white minority to surrender its power peacefully". Mandela, for Johnson, was little more than a charismatic pawn for the sinister Marxist-communists who had hi-jacked the ANC in exile and who were really only interested in getting their snouts in the trough.'

No other book has been written with such a realistic, researched, informed and deeply thought and felt response to South Africa's current predicament, its past over Johnson's adult lifetime and its possible routes into the future. Its accessible and elegant prose will be a revelation to many readers.

Nelson Mandela - communist, terrorist, rabble-rouser !
"The truth is that he was not imprisoned on Robben Island without reason – not even because he was merely an opponent of apartheid.  He was there because he planned to overthrow a government and in the process, cause the violent deaths of thousands of innocent people (including blacks) – a crime which deserved the death penalty, and he must consider himself fortunate that the so-called apartheid-regime did not press for it.  In his auto-biography Long Walk to Freedom, het admits inter alia that he gave the order to plant the Church Street bomb during the 80's, which killed 11 innocent people and injured many more.

• The "invincible" Marxist-Leninist ANC Regime rejected this warning, because in their typical African arrogance they thought it could never happen to them. They felt hurt and insulted by their brother for equating the Marxist-Leninist ANC "democracy" with Tyranny, while tens of thousands of people in the Marxist-Leninist run New SA had been murdered since 1994. This IS a tyranny!. The Marxist-Leninist ANC Regime has stood back for almost two decades while their cadres continued murdering tens of thousands of people, as they had done during the Apartheid years. They thought everyone would just sit back and allow this anarchy to continue, as in the rest of this corrupt cursed continent?

• They ANCYL is the ANC of course and everything the ANC does not want to openly state themselves they get the ANCYL to say it and then afterwards tell the kids not to be so naughty again. The ANCYL, led by the ANC's newest warrior / Mandela-in-the-making, Julius Malema, is leading the revolution, because the ANC had lost control over the ANCYL. Once Julius Malema tasted power he would not stop and became unstoppable. He has become the Marxist-Leninist ANC Regime's worst nightmare. He is breaking up their holy tri-alliance and he is busy breaking its back.

The following is an extract from the Road to South African Freedom, the programme of the SACP adopted in 1962, and published in the African Communist Vol 2 No 2 Jan-March 1963. It is undoubtedly the document with the greatest influence on African National Congress ideology. If the Freedom Charter was the glossy brochure for national liberation, the Road to South African Freedom was the detailed ideological handbook. The full version can be accessed on the web here.

• The Marxist-Leninist ANC Regime, controlled by the SA Communist Party, sold themselves to the masses with promises of jobs, houses, free water and free electricity for all. They promised free high quality education for all and they failed, because communism is a failed system that could not and cannot work. African democracy is Marxist-Leninist Communism, where a small minority enriches themselves and throws their crumbs to the masses. The world supported this Marxist-Leninist ANC Regime. The World and the Mass Media put them in place, they destroyed a democracy to replace it with a Marxist-Leninist Regime and they cheered themselves for having achieved it, to the detriment of the citisens of this once flourishing country.

That was the only democracy ever in the history if Africa, but it was a democracy the world and the media did not want, the world and the media wanted a Marxist-Leninist Terrorist ANC Regime in power, so they could more easily lay their filthy hands on our huge mineral resources.

• Even the most liberal of journalists, staunch anti-apartheid media leaders are warning of the coming revolution. While a year or two ago people rejected all warnings of a revolution, suddenly now it is accepted as a reality, but its too late, because they should have listened decades ago. Today these journalists get angry when they are told "We told you so", but the truth is that we did tell them so, decades ago already. Thanks to these very journalists innocent South Africans are today threatened with extinction. White are being murdered like flies, while the churches, the media and the opposition parties are keeping quiet about it, for fear of losing foreign investors and foreign visitors. We are expected to surrender our lives, our women and children for foreign investors and for the sake of being able to compete in international sport.

Revolution has a stepping stone
By Angelique Redmond
19 October, 2011
The Occupy South Africa movement took to the streets of Cape Town outside Parliament on Saturday to show its solidarity in the first step of their campaign against the greed and corruption which is rife in South Africa.
“While it is common knowledge how corrupt ANC politicians are, this initiative is not only meant to address corruption because that would imply that our economic and social problems would be solved if the politicians were not corrupt. Corruption in itself is not the root problem but it is rather the ‘legal’ robbery of South Africa by a few large international and local corporations and this robbery is rubber-stamped by government, both ANC and DA. Political corruption is only an inevitable result of a corrupt system.”

• The People's war is a war against corruption and greed. 
• South Africans have grown fed-up with the greed and corruption of the Marxist-Leninist ANC Regime.
• South Africans are tired of the crime, the raping and the murders.
• South Africa is officially listed as a Genocide country and yet no one listens.
• South Africa is heading for a revolution and nothing and no one could stop it.

May God be with the people of South Africa, for they deserve not what had the World forced upon them.

Global Politician - South Africa: What Future Is There For Whites And Other Minorities?

Global Politician - South Africa: What Future Is There For Whites And Other Minorities?:

The reality in South Africa, let's take stock

South Africa is run by a Marxist regime. They are hell bent on having major black tribes dominating politics and the economy, and will not stop until they have achieved their goals. It is the same thing every other African country has tried to achieve. The inevitable result is:

Total destruction of the economy
Total destruction of food production
Famine
Total destruction and collapse of infrastructure
Substandard education
The eradication of all possible resistance, whites and other minorities through forced emigration, famine or genocide.

A pure Communist state

Zimbabwe-style Communist dictatorship is what the ANC is planning long-term for South Africa. Whether you think it is stupid is totally irrelevant to them. The aim is to stay in power forever. They do not care what they destroy or how many people they brutally kill in the process.

South Africa: Producer of Educated Skilled Labour for the 1st World

Is it rational that a white child is allowed to attend school with Government subsidies, then allowed to enter University and study with Government subsidies, but then once graduated he/she is rejected because he/she is white?

How does this fit in with our supposed non-racist, (supposed) "Democracy"?

Thanks to racist programs like BEE (so-called Black Economic Empowerment) and Transformation South Africa has become a major producer of highly educated skilled labour to the rest of the World. While taxpayers are subsidising the education and training of all nationalities in SA, once graduated whites are unable to enter for the local labour market, yet they are sought-after abroad.

This is not only racist, but irrational. SA is a third-World country that needs educated, skilled labour for development and growth.


Socialism - Remind you of the NEW SOUTH AFRICA?

An economics professor at a university made the statement that he had never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire class.

That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism.

All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.

The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.

As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D!

No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.


South Africa should take heed this profound lesson from the past.

Stated way back in 1931 and it says it all :

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." - Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931


When are we to stop correcting the errors of the past?

The newspapers are filled with articles on racism and discrimination and one thing that tends to stand out is the mudslinging that goes with it. To-and-fro blaming, accusations and insults.

It matters not who was liberal, left or right-wing, how we have changed our political views or not, what is important is what we are going to do to ensure a future for all South Africans.

The World commended South Africa for the peaceful transition in 1994, we were commended for our ground-breaking Constitution. Unfortunately what we have discovered is that it is not what everyone expected or hoped for. Racial discrimination is at the order of the day and not only being supported, but demanded by legislation, which is the cause of much dissension and tension within.

South Africa is THE example to the rest of the World on peaceful Governmental transition, on the successful eradication of Apartheid and white on black racial discrimination, but are we an example to the World on the eradication of racial discrimination in general, no we are not. We have replaced white on black discrimination with black on white discrimination.

What is needed and would it take to level the playing field, to show the rest of the World how a country can be managed in such a way that all forms of discrimination, not only racial discrimination, is eradicated. If South Africa really wants to achieve anything in future we need to build on the achievements that led to the founding a new democratic non-apartheid based South Africa.

We need to interpret and apply our Constitution as it is written and without creative interpretation to find loopholes with which to continue the propagation of a discriminatory system in new and revised form. BEE and Transformation are no more than synonyms for Apartheid.

Discriminatory legislation and systems are often born from fear, fear of being overruled, fear of losing control, fear of being unable to compete on a level playing-field, etc.

What is it that black South Africans need to fear, that Government or the ruling party needs to fear that prevents them from leveling the playing field? Besides the promises to the masses and the fear of losing at the voting stations next time round, what is there to fear from such minorities?

We also need to keep in mind that this is not a white forum for discrimination against whites, because not only are the whites being discriminated against, but also Coloureds, Asians and other minorities are being refused equal opportunities. BEE and transformation is not about reversed discrimination, it is discrimination against all minorities particularly those not classified as black.

The excuse for this new form of discrimination is often given as being a means to address the wrongs of the past. One needs to question when does the past begin and when does the past end and how long does one continue correcting the errors of that past.

If South Africa is still in the transition phase of correcting the errors of the past it means that this is not yet the new South Africa, this is South Africa in the interim phase working towards a New South Africa.

The New South Africa is envisaged as a matured South Africa without discriminatory legislation and systems, it is a united South Africa that HAD corrected the errors of the past and IS working towards development of the nation and country as a whole as one singular colourless, genderless united all-equal nation.

How do we achieve this? We can only achieve such maturity by guts, conviction and determination. We achieve that through strong leadership, with leaders that are beyond reproach, ethical, moral, honest, without baggage, without debts to friends, with leaders that will have the guts to lay down the cut-off date for redress and call the closing date of this interim period during which the errors of the past are to be corrected.

How could we ever correct the errors of the past of we cannot even acknowledge the errors of today?  We are so "Politically Correct" that no problems seem to exist. "Political Correctness" is the language of the weak, of those too scared of offending or standing up for what they believe in. The language of the pretentious hypocritical appeaser who blesses his decapitator after having sold-out everyone else. The "Politically Correct" are to be feared more than the enemy & than the Devil himself. "Political Correctness" is a disease, a virus that destroys truth & denies reality.

As long as legislation is in place that demands of business, industry and employers to redress the imbalances caused by the old regime, companies are compelled to comply with such legislation and we shall remain in this interim immature void.

Pressure needs to be applied to Government to call the closing date of this interim transitional period of redress so that the current legislation demanding compliance with transformation and BEE may be abandoned and we as South Africans can start building the New South Africa of the future, equal, united, together.

South African Black Economic Empowerment Explained

Shortly after class, an economics student approaches his economics professor and says, "I don't understand the point of BEE.

Can you explain it to me?"

The professor replied, "I don't have any time to explain it at my office, but if you come over to my house on Saturday and help me with my weekend project,  I'll be glad to explain it to you."

The student agreed.

At the agreed-upon time, the student showed up at the professor's house.

The professor stated that the weekend project involved his backyard pool.

They both went out back to the pool, and the professor handed the student a bucket.

Demonstrating with his own bucket, the professor said, "First, go over to the deep end, and fill your bucket with as much water as you can."

The student did as he was instructed.

The professor then continued,  "Follow me over to the shallow end,  and then dump all the water from your bucket into it."

The student was naturally confused,  but did as he was told.

The professor then explained they were going to do this many more times, and began walking back to the deep end of the pool.

The confused student asked,  "Excuse me,  but why are we doing this?"

The professor matter-of-factly stated that he was trying to make the shallow end much deeper.

The student didn't think the economics professor was serious, but figured that he would find out the real story soon enough.

However, after the 16th trip between the shallow end and the deep end, the student began to become worried that his economics professor had gone mad.

The student finally blurted out,

"All we're doing is wasting valuable time and effort on unproductive pursuits. Even worse, when this process is all over, everything will be at the same level it was before, so all you'll really have accomplished is the destruction of what could have been truly productive action!"

The professor put down his bucket and replied with a smile, "Congratulations. You now understand BEE."
