SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER
February 2011 edition
On March 15th tickets will go on sale for the 2012 London Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games.
This of course will be an exciting moment not only for all British sports fans, but for all British patriots. The UK Britain
But the advantages of staging an Olympic Games cannot only be measured in sporting terms. The Games have already generated massive employment opportunities in the construction and advertising industries, and once the competitions actually begin the extra income resulting from tourism and international media rights will be enormous. With the whole world currently languishing in economic recession this will give the UK
On several occasions previously over recent years - most notably Barcelona in 1992, Sydney in 2000 and Vancouver (for the Winter Olympics) in 2010 - the staging of Olympic Games have not only brought immediate sporting excitement, but have also acted as catalysts to regenerate nations, and to enhance national self-confidence. There is no reason to believe why this should not also prove to be the case in the UK
In view of all these self-evident advantages gained by hosting the Olympic Games it would be reasonable to expect that nobody in the UK
So why do these left-wing weirdoes wish to stop the Olympics being staged in different venues every four years? The answer would appear to be obvious. Those of this mindset are opposed to ALL manifestations of nationalism and patriotism. To them the upsurge in national pride which occurs in one country after another each Olympiad is anathema. Make no mistake, if they succeed in their ridiculous proposal of staging every Summer Olympics in Athens
But we shouldn't worry about these irrelevant anti-national kill-joys. The London Olympics are now so well advanced that they will go ahead come what may - and we can't wait! And after London Rio in 2016, celebrating its broader Lusitanian culture and identity. Then perhaps, sometime in a post-ANC South Africa Durban Pretoria

SPRINGBOK CLUB 2011 A.G.M.
The Springbok Club held a most successful 2011 AGM last month. After all the problems which engulfed the organisation towards the end of 2010 this was expected to be a very difficult meeting, but in the event the Springbok Club emerged renewed and reinvigorated. A new committee with a new Chairman was elected, but more importantly significant decisions were agreed upon about the direction that the organisation should take in future. It was decided to concentrate more upon presenting a "golden vision" for the future from now onwards, rather than dwelling upon Southern Africa 's present appalling problems. Everyone knows the disastrous situation prevailing in current day South Africa and Zimbabwe, and there are plenty of more politically-orientated bodies who are already alerting the outside world to this tragedy, but what is needed - and this after all was why the Springbok Club was founded in the first place - is a forward-looking organisation offering an exciting and exhilarating vision for the future. From now onwards, therefore, the Springbok Club will concentrate more upon the social, sporting, cultural, historical and wildlife aspects of our task in uniting expatriate Southern Africans and their friends, and organising for the future!

LATEST REPORTS FROM THE ZIMBABWE
On Thursday 7th October 2010 , in Gokwe, President Robert Mugabe held a ZANU-PF rally combined with the official opening of the Women's Empowerment Bank. In order to entice people to attend this event, 3 elephant, 3 buffalo and a number of smaller animals were shot and cooked. It is common knowledge that under the current economic climate, many people in the rural areas are starving and will make an effort to attend any function where free food is available.
The baboon population in Mwenezi is in danger of being wiped out as villagers in the area have resorted to eating them in an effort to avert hunger and starvation. Prior to the Land Reform Programme in 2000 Mwenezi had an abundance of wildlife, but everything was slaughtered by the land invaders shortly after 2000. Baboons are now the only animals left there. Mwenezi is a very dry area, suitable only for game farming and the villagers say they are now killing the baboons in desperation in order to feed their families. Under normal circumstances, humans would not dream of eating baboon meat but the villagers feel they have no option since their appeals to the government for assistance have fallen on deaf ears.
We would like to congratulate the South Africa Police, National Parks and the Hawks for their sterling efforts in trying to combat the rhino poaching problem in South Africa

KLEINFONTEIN BOEREBELANGE KOöPERATIEF BEPERK
Kleinfontein is a community of approximately 1000 members of the Afrikaner people. We have established a settlement on property owned, controlled and managed by its members with a view to promote their identity in a safe and economically viable environment. This settlement was established in accordance with certain clauses in the South African constitution which makes provision for a form of territorial self-determination for people who share the same religious, linguistic and cultural values. The development is structured within a non-profit co-operative, is managed by mainly unpaid volunteers, is financed by its own members and consequently receives no financial assistance from the government. In view of the struggle of our people to retain our right to live in a dignified way, and government actions to impoverish our people legally by barring White persons from meaningful access to economic participation, any form of support, especially financial, will be appreciated. More than seventy White squatter camps (mainly Afrikaners) in our vicinity (Pretoria

"P.K. VAN DER BYL - AFRICAN STATESMAN" by Hannes Wessels
ISBN: 978-1-920143-49-7 / paperback / illustrated
Retail price: R250.00, Web-site price: R200.00 + postage
The narrative gives the reader an overview of the history of the White man in southern Africa with detailed emphasis on the Rhodesian story through the life and times of PK van der Byl, one of the major players in a political drama that ended in the accession to power of Robert Mugabe under the auspices of the British government. By his very nature PK was controversial and confrontational. This account is likely to give offence to some because it portrays him as bluntly as he was in real life. Much can be contested about PK van der Byl but few will dispute he was an extremely colourful character with a devilish sense of humour. This memoir covers his life with a full flourish while doing nothing to detract from the seriousness of the international political and military conflict in which he was engaged. The reader will glean new information on a highly controversial subject and emerge with a more sympathetic understanding of what PK van der Byl and his colleagues did and strove for. The human tragedy that has followed the removal from power of Ian Smith and his Rhodesian Front party will almost certainly force the reader to deal with some uncomfortable conclusions, of value to anyone sincere about grappling with the volatile and deeply troubling challenges that confront all Africans today.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Sir,
Thank you for your e-mail. It was an interesting evening at the Springbok Club meeting in October, as these always are, i.e. getting to know what really happens. I prefer to keep all political 'stuff' on the computer...this is very wide ranging, right across the spectrum. Inside track from the Cons top brass...individual activists with a worldwide feed in....EU stuff galore....Taxpayers Alliance
Although Bert's talk was most enlightening....albeit alarming...I do feel that the Springbok Club are missing their way. His web-site is provocative rather than constructive. Much better that it was dedicated to just reporting facts from BOTH (Black &White) sides of the problem....without over-dramatic pictures which obviously show a bias against the Blacks.....NO GOOD! Using aggressive/abusive language NEVER helps....just tweaks the tiger's tail even harder...and he then turns round and bites you. So change the title to something mild but also creating a 'must read' scenario.....which then gets out there for all to see. Most important bit!
On the basis that members and friends have first-hand knowledge of South Africa
In simple terms the Springbok Club through all its branches should support the following emanating from the UK South Africa
1. Nutrition. Food structures and dietary education.....lobbying and suggestion.....maybe more.
2. Numbers. Birth control....plane loads of condoms etc etc!
3. Farming. Equipment on properly planned and sourced programmes, and delivered/installed right to/on the doorstep of the ultimate users/beneficiaries. This MUST be the rule for all products delivered for whatever....even emergency international calls for aid.
4. General Health. Simple equipment, such as mosquito nets, which do not need to be delivered by an MP from the UK Kenya
5. Housing improvements. This is a big one, but some helpful lobbying by 'them that know' could be helpful.
6. Sports and Recreation equipment. Particularly aimed at 'youth' 6s/18s. Crayons and paints.....footballs, cricket gear. Musical instruments etc. I started something on these lines in New York US
7. Exploitation of wild animals....particularly OVER-shooting in situ for absurd fees....and selling of same for export.....this is a lobbying exercise....bringing pressure to bear.
There was talk at the meeting of a 'charity' for Whites....racial....BUT the above big 7 should be linked in with established 'charities' and others....AND COMBINE into one larger organization. This gives the whole initiative TEETH, scale etc. ALL pulling as one team....NOT 'we are better than you', 'we've been going longer etc'. No celebs other than those putting money right into the pot.....and NONE of this money sent to cover a general appeal or individual project. DO NOT SEND cash (this includes a single cent, penny, euro or whatever!!) to power-crazed loonies who immediately convert it into Saville Row suits, Masseratis or a simple transfer to SWITZERLAND
Please share this with whoever....maybe the whole membership. Their big trump card is that they know the background...BUT bleating into beer, letting bees out of bonnets at 10,000 miles range achieves nothing.
Yours etc.,
NKN, Cheshire , U.K.

DIRTY TRICKS
In the January edition of the SCN we reported on the most alarming targeted attacks which had been mounted against the Springbok Club and its associates during the previous couple of months, most disturbingly a deranged smear campaign against the editor of the SCN featuring clearly fabricated pornographic photographs.
As we also reported, this most degenerate attack was reported to the Police who took it very seriously, particularly in view of the obvious "hacking" into our computer and the stealing of our address book - which is a criminal offence. The Police have now reported back and have confirmed that the person responsible for concocting these depraved smears has now been positively identified following enquiries made to the ISPs involved, and he turns out to be the person who was initially suspected. Unfortunately, however, it has also been ascertained that the culprit has now left the UK and returned to his native South Africa, so is therefore now outside the jurisdiction of any British Police force. The matter has however been handed over to their South African counterparts via InterPol, so it remains to be seen what action if any they will take (the culprit is believed once more to be working for an agency of the "new" South African government, so it is possible that the ANC regime will seek to "protect" him). One thing is for certain however, and that is that if he ever attempts to re-enter the UK
We have furthermore been both touched and humbled by the level of support which we have received from supporters around the world following this most vile and evil attack upon us. Below we list just some of the many messages of solidarity which we have received :-
------------------------
Just forwarding this to you, in case you are unaware of this attempt to discredit your reputation, and thereby the reputation of the Springbok Club. Any idea who would be so cruel to do this? The person hides under a cover of anonymity, it seems, but it is a universal law that whatever one transmits, be it love or hate, rebounds back to that person. - CR, Sutherland , U.K.
------------------------
Surely this can't be true, the reason I say this is that your face does not show on the intimidating images. To my mind this is maybe a deliberate smear campaign which could be expected. - PdV, Mitcham , U.K.
------------------------
I'm sorry to hear you're upset, but take it as an indication of your growing strength rather than an emotional upset. Of course I didn't look at the page, I'd have no intention of checking out the stuff as clearly I saw from the e-mail it was crap. So take strength that you know you're making waves in all the right ponds. - RM, London , U.K.
------------------------
Someone tried this on me in South Africa U.S.A.
------------------------
This is not true. I have known him for 10 years. He is a decent man. - HH, Transvaal , South Africa
------------------------
I would not be at all surprised if the fabricated pictures have been initiated by the ANC administration. - RN, Tasmania Australia
------------------------
I feel so sorry for you. My heart is going out to you. The damage they did to you as a person and then to the Springbok Club, how do you erase that? We must pray that God erase it in people's minds. I am very glad that you told us that your girlfriend was not involved and that is an action only by our enemies. We will also ask God to help you and our Club. Stand strong, in the Last Days our enemies will do everything that is bad to get us down. They are driven by the Devil but God is stronger than the Devil. The Devil is actually under the Will of God. - KN, Transvaal , South Africa
------------------------
I wish you the best of luck in tracking down the bastards. - WC, Maryland U.S.A.
------------------------
You might recall that I stood by you some years ago, when you were being unfairly attacked on the Rhodie chat site. I have no time for people who hide behind anonymity when slandering others. - JG, Transvaal , South Africa
------------------------
Do you not think that maybe you are doing such a good job, that somebody in South Africa Sussex U.K.
------------------------
They tried to smear John Bunyan by saying he had two wives and associated with prostitutes. You are in good company. DB, Lancashire , U.K.
------------------------
They sent me those pictures of "you." Must admit I was taken aback! Can't they just stick to criticising your politics? - MR, London U.K.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, if you would prefer to be deleted from our SCN circulation list then simply e-mail us with the word "unsubscribe". Alternatively, if you liked this SCN and think more of your friends would like to receive copies then please let us know their e-mail addresses!
See you again next month!
