Their mission...

Afrikaner is Afrikaans speaking people? You know, one of the 11 official languages of South Africa. Also in that quote, they refer to COMMUNITIES, plural. Also also, Afrikaans is the most oppressed language in South Africa, that's why it's their main focus.

I doubt afrikaner is intended to refer to afrikaans speaking people. It refers to those from dutch origin. Cape coloured for instance would not be included as afrikaner despite a (shrinking) majority of them speaking afrikaans

btw, the correct terms are, afrikaans sprekend and suid afrikaners. slang and shortenings give people the wrong ideas. the translation for an afrikaner is an african.

This guy has jokes

I see your idiocy stretches far. How many schools converted from Afrikaans only to English due to government pressure?
What soon-to-be-built university hit the news for "racism" because it accommodates Afrikaans speaking people?
What language is the most hated by English-only speaking white South Africans?

I imagine it's going to fester because the likes of the SAHRC and a significant percentage of the population either turn a blind eye to it or promote it.


I was in Sandton and I saw celebrations from every colour and race in this country. It felt like a SOUTH AFRICAN celebration.

Anyone trying to bring colour into it must go climb back under their rock.
