This is the only review on Amazon, so I immediately purchased:
5.0 out of 5 stars An Honest Perspective Most are Afraid to Share.
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2024
My review of this book was censored. I gave it five stars. I contacted Amazon via phone and they kicked it upstairs and said they would send me an email in 24 hours. Still no email. I realize this book is not PC but it is true. So I am not putting back in that review, and hoping this little twerp of a review might pass, but advise to buy ten books and widely share. Maybe the bravery will spread.
I too am a white South Africa. I lived in Jhb for 16 years and I understand the situation there and having been born in Rhodesia (where I lived for 24 years) and spent 7 years on conscription army call ups there, I see the situation there being repeated in SA. Thankfully I emigrated to New Zealand and after 19 years came to Sydney 14 years ago. I look forward to reading your book Chris.
Well I really hope for your sake and for all South Africans still living there that the ANC / DA alliance will make changes for the better. The ANC are communist and they serve only themselves. The DA will hopefully knock them back and raise the standards of living and economics to restore prosperity. Just be aware that the Chinese want control of the rich mineral resources of SA and will never back down.
Very true Geno. But in company with all the other politicians, they are all self-serving, and 'democracy' in the Western world doesn't exist, as I am sure you know. It's a sop to the masses and always has been.
'The Economist' (the Globalist's Mouthpiece) had this to say about the SA elections:
"HEADLINE QUOTE – “The Economist: Another SA lesson in democracy for the world. Bravo.” Praise indeed from the Globalists’ mouthpiece, The Economist! Cyril Ramaphosa’s re-election as president is set to form a “government of national unity,” anchored by the ANC and DA. This coalition aims to uphold the 1994 democratic values and implement vital reforms. The move reflects a commitment to democracy and showcases the nation’s resilience and pragmatism in governance."
Even the term 'white colonizers' is problematic. The Boers were not creating a colony but an independent state.
The Zulu and Matabele displaced and killed exponentially more than anybody, and of course, the entire Bantu people came from north at some point absorbing and killing. The worst massacre in modern history remains the Zulu massacre of Boer women and children at Weenen. Unprovoked and brutal.
I am sure whites have blood on their hands. That was the nature of the era. But the examples of Boer and British alliance with so many tribes at different times belies the complexity of the time.
After Weenen, for example, the Boers allied with the subsequent Zulu king, Mpande, and even today an Afrikaans delegation had VIP status at the new Zulu king's coronation.
The real problems set in with the discovery of gold and diamonds, and the concomitant labour issues.
Well done on your book - I will get a copy from Takealot shortly. I have a backlog of books to read - currently https://www.amazon.com/Killing-Uncle-Sam-Demise-America/dp/1640070974 horrific history of USA/CIA et al and explains where we are today - all kicked off by Cecil Rhodes - amazing!
We have very dear friends from SA, and had planned a trip back there with them in 2020. Sadly it got cancelled and we’ve still not been. I’m very excited to read your book. Thank you!

Thanks so much for sharing. Sums it up really.

I am a Brit; sailed into Simons Town in 1999, and settled - this for me, is a bubble of paradise. I really don't see SA going the Zim way just yet - the ANC/DA GNU today could work but lots of water to go under the bridge. https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/election-special-food-prices-eskom?sd=pf

Can you ever speculate this occuring in the Western Plutochracies? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzfNEF0e-y4
Excited to read this! Glad to be able to support you in this small way, as I do enjoy your writing! 🇿🇦
I will get it on kindle on payday!
Did the white colonisers kill and/or displace an indigenous black population?
Are we able to ascertain what the white settlers did?

Yes Chris and that was down to Cecil Rhodes et al! https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/boers-and-blood-no-ww3-dispossession?r=hhrlz&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true
