SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER
September 2011 edition
South African news has recently been dominated by the actions and statements of Julius Malema, the firebrand leader of the ANC's Youth League, his subsequent court conviction for "hate speech", and attempts to expel him from the ruling ANC.
In spite of much apparent surprise and condemnation on the part of the South African liberal elite, the emergence of Malema and his significant grassroots support would seem to have been inevitable. Indeed the most surprising aspect is that it has taken so long after the ANC were handed power in the early 1990s for someone as extreme and hate-filled as Malema to emerge.
Malema, with his calls for the seizure of White-owned land and the nationalisation of the mines, is simply echoing Mandela's Marxist-inspired rhetoric - and of course we all know the standing which the convicted terrorist Mandela enjoys among ANC hardliners and their apologists. As we've observed previously in these columns, the succession of Mbeki to Mandela proved to be an unexpected improvement, as he was intelligent enough to realise that it was the capitalist system, not communist ideology, which offered the best means for the improvement in conditions for all of South Africa
We have consistently urged all Whites still living in ANC-ruled South Africa to leave the country for the sake of their families and children as soon as possible and by whatever means possible. With almost 4,000 White farmers (let alone a far larger number of White urban dwellers) having been slaughtered in the ANC's de facto genocide campaign, our advice certainly appears to have been well founded - though confirmed in a manner which we never wanted to see. With ZANU-PF style land seizures now looming large there is surely now no excuse whatsoever for Whites who are able to get out of the country to remain in that decaying land.
But apart from the White farming community there is another section of society which has great reason to fear the ascendancy of Malema and his cronies. The threat to nationalise the mines means that the Randlords are now in the sights of the ANC thieves. Often demonised as the "Oppenheimer Empire" by the more conspiratorial-minded, the big mining-houses gave their tacit support to "majority rule" many years ago. Whether this was because of their personal liberal idealism, or whether they naively believed that a Black ANC government would be more malleable is uncertain. All that is clear is that by backing and financing the sell-out NP and the crypto-socialist PP/PFP/DP rather than the pro-capitalist HNP and CP they made a very, very bad long-term business mistake. But of course world affairs are littered by "what may have beens"!

SPRINGBOK CLUB'S NORTHERN IRELAND
Alas it must be reported that last month's gathering of the Northern Ireland Branch of the Springbok Club proved a very problematic occasion. We have been asked not to name the trouble-maker who wrecked this get-together, but must emphasise that he was not and never has been a member of the Springbok Club. We think it goes without saying that the Springbok Club is by nature far more orientated towards the Unionist section of the Northern Ireland

DOLPHIN RESCUE VIDEO
We have recently been sent the following video recording by the International Fund for Animal Welfare, which illustrates something about the excellent work which the organisation's Marine Mammal Rescue Team is doing at Cape Cod in Massachusetts Cape Cod 's shallow water and extreme tides can be especially difficult for dolphins to navigate.
As this video shows, rescuers are often faced with treacherous conditions: frigid water, whipping wind, and waist-deep mud. The highly trained team has developed strategies to rescue animals in virtually any situation, and their video can be accessed at :-

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.

"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.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
No.154 : Mnr. NIC SLABBER of East London .
Nic Slabber was a leading member of the patriotic movement in East London during the 1980s, and a strong supporter of S.A.Patriot magazine. A friendly and charismatic figure, he managed to persuade several other supporters in the Border region to sponsor the purchase and maintenance of a high-quality photocopying machine, which he then used to produce large volumes of quality bulletins supporting local patriotic candidates and campaigns in the Border area. What has become of him now we wonder?

SWEET PROBLEM
Sir,
It was very interesting to see mention of Reg Sweet's two daughters - Pam and Pippa - in your obituary to him in last month's SCN. I knew both Pam and Pippa well through first the National Forum and then the White Rhino Club. Pam had been married four times (twice to the same man!), but when I knew her she was married to a certain Alan Richards, who turned out to be a rather controversial character. Richards was a fantastically wealthy man (rumoured to be a Dollar Millionaire), but the source of his wealth was unknown and he only seemed to operate from a one-man office in Durban's CBD - but significantly he never donated anything substantial to White Rhino Club funds.
Almost immediately that the White Rhino Club was founded in 1980 we became aware there was clearly a spy within our ranks, as detailed information about the formation appeared in the local press. Ian Long had a contact in the SAP special branch who was sympathetic to our aims, and he evidently informed Ian that the spy was Alan Richards. When he heard this Richards threatened to sue Ian's contact, but in the end nothing ever happened. The White Rhino Club of course collapsed less than 18 months after its formation because of serious personality clashes and policy disagreements, and I think it is fair to say that Richards was heavily involved in these.
Nothing further was heard about Richards for several years, until the press reported that "prominent local businessman" Alan Richards had spoken at a meeting of Brendan Willmer's factional "Civic Action League". Willmer, who died of AIDS in 1999, was of course an overt homosexual and an exposed asset of the NP government. Undoubtedly the information provided by Ian Long's contact was therefore correct.
Yours etc.,
"White Rhino", Durban , South Africa

OBITUARY
GEN. MAGNUS MALAN
Gen. Magnus Malan, who died last month, was the one person who could possibly - just maybe - have saved South Africa
A skilled and distinguished soldier, like all good generals he realised that the availability of logistics was even more important than tactics on the battlefield in order to achieve military success. For this reason he gave great emphasis to the establishment and expansion of Armscor, and through it ensured that South Africa Angola , and came within a whisker of taking Luanda - only withdrawing following demands from he Democratic-controlled Congress in the United States South Africa
In spite of all Malan's brilliance in military strategy, he alas lacked even the most elementary political acumen. He attached himself to sell-out South African State President P.W.Botha like a leech, supporting him in surrender after surrender and sell-out after sell-out - even becoming an NP MP after his retirement from the military, and taking over the Defence portfolio from Botha himself.
It was whilst in this position that he was evidently encouraged by former military colleagues to organise an internal coup to depose the sell-out Botha, but alas, in spite of all his military bravery, he seemed to lack the political courage for such an act of daring. Had he done so then he would undoubtedly have enjoyed the support of not only the parties of the Right, but also significant sections of NP grassroots membership, and also that of ex-Servicemen from all parties (and of all races) who had admired and respected his leadership of the SADF. Had he done so then, with Soviet-backed forces already soundly defeated in Angola and SWAPO on the run in SWA, and with closet sympathetic support from both the US and UK administrations of the time, there is no reason to believe that civilised rule in South Africa could not only have been preserved, but would also have prospered.
As it was Malan's failure to act resulted in dire consequences not only for his country, but also for Malan himself. Following the handover of power to the ANC regime Malan was hauled in front of their tame courts for alleged "war crimes" because of his effective military command during the Total Onslaught against the terrorist threat to the country. Although he was never found guilty of any of the trumped-up charges levelled against him his continuous harassment by the courts undoubtedly had a catastrophic effect upon his health, thus resulting in his premature death.
Malan's failure to act to save his country when he was in a unique position to provide leadership will always remain a complete mystery - and also an absolute tragedy.
