THE AFRIKANER UNDER SIEGE

by Andy Nowicki

With land-confiscation now in the offing for long-suffering white South African farmers, and with President Trump newly signaling support for the Boer population, it is worthwhile to re-read this excerpt from my article "The N*****s of the Earth," concerning my travels among the Afrikaners in December of 2011, and included in the first issue of Radix, the print journal put out by the National Policy Institute.

PSY-WAR ON THE BOERS: A HATE-BLAST FROM THE PAST

In the context of present-day post-Apartheid, ANC-ruled South Africa, where life for the white minority is increasingly marred by the reality of near genocide-level violence and even the president enthusiastically dances and lustily sings of "killing the Boer," it is instructive to view this baleful turn of events in proper historical context.

ORANIA UPDATE

Oranians rockin' their traditional Afrikaner garb.

Living in Orania, the Afrikaner ethnic hometown

After 12 years in Orania, life seems quite normal and natural and indeed it should be. I guess it is not so different from life in a rural American town. On a typical day, we go to work (most of us work in the city limits of Orania), which takes us about 5 to 10 minutes, by car, on foot, by bicycle or with the local bus. Everybody speaks Afrikaans everywhere. After work, we do our shopping in small shops all over town, where everybody greets everybody and often chats a few words; we visit our neighbours or friends after work, go to the cinema or the restaurant, have a barbecue on Saturday, go to church on Sundays. Children play outside after school, up to dawn, go to the swimming-pool, ride their bicycles, play sport and games.

SEBASTIAAN OF ORANIA

Note: The following excerpt is taken from my longer piece, entitled The Niggers of the Earth, which chronicles my recent travels among the embattled Afrikaners in post-Apartheid, ANC-ruled South Africa. The Niggers of the Earth will appear in the first issue of Radix, the new print journal funded by the National Policy Institute.

This passage concerns my visit to the town of Orania, a specifically Afrikaner enclave and mini-ethnostate in the Northern Cape that has garnered worldwide attention. While there, I speak with one of the community’s many interesting inhabitants, a German convert to Boer-dom named Sebastiaan Biehl.
