Die Stigting moet polities korrek wees, maar ook nie te veel nie Dave.
Beleide van die verlede mag gefaal het, verouder het, gekritiseer gewees het, en verander en hervorm gewees het soos wat waardes en omstandighede verander saam met die wereldorde, maar BOOS oftewel EVIL, en die hedendaagse sinoniem daarvoor: Nazisme, was dit gewis nie. Trouens, die verlede het baie goeie dinge ook gehad, wat vandag nie meer genoem mag word nie, want dit is streng verbode.
Moet nie apologeties daaroor wees nie, want dit is onnodig om van die politiek religie te maak. BOOS byvoorbeeld, is 'n religieuse term, wat gewoonlik gebruik word om bestaan te misgun.
Onafhanklike state en selfgerende gebiede in die NP-Suid-Afrika was nie BOOS nie. Die staatsontwikkelling in die verlede en die vorige regerings in ons geskiedenis was nie BOOS nie.
BOOS word slegs vandag deur sommige politici, joernaliste en politieke vyande gebruik om hedendaagse beleide en politieke aksies in Suid-Afrika te regverdig, wat andersinds onmoontlik sou wees om te motiveer, want dit sou onregverdig en vernietigend voorgekom het.
Ek herhaal, moet asseblief nie verskonend klink teenoor FW de Klerk se stellings nie, so asof dit misverstaan sou gewees het. Dit was nie misverstaan gewees nie.

A very comprehesive look at the world situation as we face it today.
A bit thin on cultural developments and religious matters though. These matters are often central and causal to finding the solutions facing nations of the world.

Ek is 'n 36 jarige wit Suid Afrikaans/Amerikaner. Ons het groot geword in die doodsnikke van apartheid, en die sondes van ons vaders het ons betaal, deur die nuwe Suid Afrika. Ons vaders besef hulle foute (overwhelming majority surely). Eerstens, as hierdie ooit by Pres. De Klerk uitkom, bedank hom asb vir sy wysheid en politieke gawe, want hy het burger oorlog verhoed. Dinge kon uiters sleg uitgedraai het, en as die ergste gebeur het, het ek en my vrou (ook n 36 jarige wit Suid Afrikaner/Amerikaner) nie twee wonderlike seuns gehad het nie. Ons woon in Chicago, en het burgers geword van n wonderlike land, aan gesien ons nie meer tuis gevoel het in ons eie land nie. Pres. De Klerk moet, en ek is seker voel nie sleg, oor die CNN onderhoud nie. Hy het wonderlik opgetree en het dude like standpunte gehad. Hy is en was n ongelooflike leier en kry nie genoeg erkenning. Bedank hom en wens hom alle seen toe. Hennie Terblanche, Chicago, IL. Ps: dit sal wonderlik wees om by julle organisasie betrokke te raak. Groetnis.

It has been researched by many scholars that mother-tongue education is best for child learning. Not only does it help for understanding but one can use creativity from what he/she has grasped from information given. David Crystal elaborates more on the point of creativity in his book Language Death. However, the problem is not only within the government's lack of urgency to develop indigenous languages for academic purpose but also the ideologies that parents have about the importance of English language as a tool for for success in global arena in terms of economic, political and social life. Most parents have this ideology that English is the only language that can help a child become something in this arena. The question therefore, is how do we reverse that psychological perspective?

Its important to consider other alternatives to improve the security of tenure in South African customary lands, without jeopardizing the social, political and economically prosperity of the community. With regards to allocation of powers to leaders, its critical that the community is made aware of the information of how much power the Traditional leaders have in the allocation of land, and the role playing parts that these leaders have. There should also be a clear distinction of the duties of the Land Adminstration Committee verses Traditional leadership.
In terms of registration and demarcation proccesses, CLARA isnt unConstitutional, and its supports and works hand i n hand with professions that are responbile for these processes. Land Surveying and Conveyencing.

The secrecy bill is an opportunity... an excuse to silence and persecute all dissent and allow the powers that be to continue to operate in their corrupted ways. Its so sad .... after all we fought for we are going forward to the horrific censures of the past.

I agree with you completely. The only way to combat inequality is to spend as much money as possible to provide quality education for the masses. BEE AA and BBBEE breed anger amongst the white population and have more adverse psychological effects. It leads white people to question the credibility of black qualifications and appointments.

Dear Sir,
I was shoked to read and hear about the interview. Nevertheless history showed, how you judged Apartheid: you finished all this business of Botha, Verwoerd and others. You made South Africas return to the table of nations possible. This is a fact. Sometimes people can not understand history,so they make their own histories.
You were brave, God bless
Kind Regards
