SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER
April 2016 edition
On Thursday 24th March voting closed in the New Zealand Flag Referendum, and the result, which was announced the following day, showed that not only had the New Zealand people voted decisively to retain the current and traditional design of their national flag, retaining as it does the Union Flag symbolizing New Zealand’s British ethnic identity, but did so by a massive margin of 13.5%!
The factors which made this victory even more impressive were that 64 of the 70 New Zealand electoral divisions voted in favour of retaining their true flag, and also that the current New Zealand Government, large sections of the media and a high number of “celebrity personalities” advocated adopting a new flag design containing no signs of New Zealand’s ethnic origins. The people of New Zealand therefore totally rejected their “chattering classes” who wished to change the very identity of their nation.
This vote of course occurred only 16 and a half years after the Australian people voted equally decisively to retain the monarchy, thus continuing to share a common Crown with the other nations of British ethnic identity around the globe. Again this vote surprised the “chattering classes”, and saw all six of Australia’s states voting in unity to retain the monarchy. Furthermore, even the new Trudeau Liberal Government of Canada has announced that there is absolutely no support for the idea of Canada abandoning the Crown – and it also shouldn’t be forgotten that in recent years Bermuda, the Falkland Islands and Gibraltar have all voted overwhelmingly to remain British Overseas Territories.
Now it is the turn of the British heartland, the United Kingdom itself, to act equally decisively in solidarity with its global kith and kin, all others of whom have already shown their loyalty in turn, for on Thursday 23rd June the UK will vote on whether to remain in or to Leave the European Union. The EU of course is a completely artificial entity which attempts to merge together and thereby destroy the national identities of all the great European nation-states. Membership of the EU has clearly been a disaster for Britain – economically, culturally and security-wise – and furthermore has severely damaged (though as we have seen not destroyed) its fraternal links with its kith and kin around the globe. There seems to be absolutely no reason for the UK to remain in the EU therefore, but alas there exists a sinister section of the population who, either for reasons of selfish self-interest or because they are loyal to a foreign power, wish their own country ill.
The vote on 23rd June therefore currently looks like being a lot closer than all logic says that it should be, and will undoubtedly be decided by whichever side is better motivated and can generate more optimism and excitement about the future. It is therefore essential that all true Britons campaign fervently to persuade their fellow-countrymen that Voting Leave is the only option for the future well-being of themselves, their children and their country as whole. For this reason those behind the Swinton Circle are to be congratulated upon deciding to suspend all activities for the first half of the year so that their supporters can concentrate solely upon campaigning for a Vote Leave victory.
But the Vote Leave campaign should not concentrate purely upon the economic and social advantages of leaving the EU. They should also inspire the electorate with a golden vision of the future – a future not of “splendid isolation”, but of a rejuvenated, better and more compatible global grouping of nations of our similar kith and kin. This future the New Zealanders have recently emphatically embraced, with the Australians doing likewise only shortly before them, is still “out there waiting” in the big outside world! We also of course hope and advocate that once established every effort should be made to restore civilized rule to South Africa and the erstwhile Rhodesia, so that these nations may also join this new Commonwealth grouping – and by so doing, just as New Zealand has retained its true and traditional flag, the true, traditional and beloved “Oranje, Wit en Blou” may once again fly over Cape Town, Pretoria, Durban and Bloemfontein!

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
The Kent Branch of the Springbok Club staged a small informal get-together in Canterbury earlier this month in order to celebrate Van Riebeeck’s Day. It was particularly good to be able to welcome back an old supporter, Colin Lucas, at this event, after personal circumstances had unfortunately prevented him from active involvement for a number of years. The Springbok Club is also planning a similar informal get-together in London later this month. If any supporter would like to be notified about the details of this event then please either e-mail: springbk@netcomuk.co.uk or ‘phone: 07711188430.
----------------------------
In late May the Springbok Club will be holding a special event to celebrate Empire Day, at which it is hoped to welcome a prominent New Zealand supporter as guest of honour. In June the Springbok Club will be staging a visit to a site of special historic interest in south-east England, and in July will be holding a special meeting with a Rhodesian theme in order to celebrate Rhodes and Founders Day.

SWINTON CIRCLE NEWS
As readers will be aware, the Swinton Circle has currently suspended operations both in order to allow its supporters to concentrate upon campaigning for a “Leave” vote on 23rd June and also so that discussions can take place with the leaders of two other patriotic organizations with a view of forming a more united structure. In spite of this, however, a number of our supporters still took part in a big “Support the Truckers” demonstration in Dover (expressing solidarity with the British truck drivers constantly being plagued by illegal migrants trying to hi-jack rides on their vehicles whilst returning from the continent) earlier this month, which evidently proved a great success and generated considerable local interest.
The Swinton Circle has also recently been specifically contacted by two other similarly-minded organizations and asked to support their forthcoming activities and campaigns. Firstly the Swinton Circle has been contacted by the PEGIDA UK organisation who have asked them to join a demonstration which they are staging in Rotherham on 28th May in protest against convicted Muslim rape gangs in the town, and the lack of action being taken by the local authorities to prevent this evil activity. (In spite of certain concerns regarding this organisation expressed in last month’s SCN it has been most encouraging to learn of PEGIDA UK’s willingness to co-operate with other patriotic organizations in this regard, so we therefore encourage all supporters in Yorkshire – and elsewhere around the country for that matter – to participate in this important protest. Fuller details will of course be given in next month’s SCN). Secondly the Swinton Circle has been contacted by The Bruges Group and told about their new Campaign Centre which they have established at: 6-6A Spring Bridge Road, Ealing, London W5 2AA, in order to assist with the “Vote Leave” campaign. This Campaign Centre can be contacted at: robert@brugesgroup.com and 020 7287 4414, and all help and support in advancing the campaign at this centre is of course encouraged.
Alas the Swinton Circle recently encountered one quite disturbing problem however, as the erstwhile Chairman and Treasurer of the Organisation, Mr.Robin Willow, has made some quite childish allegations against one of its leading officials. Mr.Willow, of course, gave a weak and inept performance as Chairman at the disastrous Swinton Circle meeting of 31st July, and after he was severely criticised for this disgraceful dereliction of duty he disappeared in a “huff” and has been uncontactable ever since. As he was also Treasurer of the organisation (in retrospect he should never have been allowed to hold two such important positions simultaneously, particularly as he proved inefficient at both) he was therefore asked to account for the organisation’s funds (at all six AGMs of the organisation whilst he was Treasurer he never once presented any proper accounts) and to return the balance. It was when he was castigated for not returning these funds that he made his infantile attack. In the course of making this slanderous accusation it also came to light that he was still in contact with Mr.Paul Griffin, who of course openly revealed himself as being in league with one of those who disrupted and wrecked the notorious meeting of 31st July, although their precise relationship is unknown. The Swinton Circle is now therefore investigating the possibilities of taking further action against Mr.Willow for the return of its funds. The Swinton Circle has also recently heard the rumour that the name of main disrupter who gate-crashed the chaotic meeting of 31st July, and who was subsequently discovered to be an Islamo-fascist, was either “Horne” or “Horn”. Does anyone know anything further about a political extremist by this name we therefore wonder?

SAVE THE ZIMBABWE 23
We have recently received the following most upsetting message from Network for Animals regarding the 23 surviving elephants who were sold to Communist China by the ZANU-PF regime in “Zimbabwe” :-
“Twenty-three baby elephants being held in horrible conditions in a Chinese quarantine facility are likely to die unless we can persuade the Chinese government to intervene and provide them with a larger living area.
“One elephant has already died and the others are all showing signs of illness and poor physical and mental condition. We cannot stand by and see this happen. We urgently need to save these elephants.
“The elephants are being held in tiny cages with only a small, barred, concrete yard to exercise in once a day. What makes it worse is that these poor creatures face two more years in these conditions before the new zoo they are destined for is built.
“We have been tormented by a video which has been obtained showing the babies with open wounds and being prodded through the bars by men with long prods.
“The zoo is doing nothing to help, the elephants’ only chance is if we can help the Chinese Government to get them a big enough area where they can exercise and interact with each other. We are doing all we can but need your help to do more.
“Please sign our petition to help us in our work to save the Zimbabwe 23.”

THIRD WORLD VENUES
The recent T20 World Cup held in India was beset by problems. The scheduling of the preliminary matches without a reserve day being set-aside in case of bad weather meant that many important games had to be abandoned without a ball being bowled, with the outcome being that several leading sides – most notably Ireland – failed to qualify through no fault of their own. Many of the matches which were played clearly took place on sub-standard pitches, and crowds (except when India themselves were playing) were disappointingly low. When compared to last year’s actual Cricket World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, which was superbly administered and hugely successful, the difference in standards has therefore been glaringly obvious.
But such poorly-organised global sporting tournaments held in Third World countries are nothing new. One only has to remember the 2007 Cricket World Cup in the West Indies, the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games – and of course most chaotic of all the 2010 Soccer World Cup in the “new” South Africa! Again comparisons with events held before and afterwards in First World countries are highly illuminating. The Commonwealth Games of 2006 in Melbourne and 2014 in Glasgow, the Olympic Games of 2004 in Athens and 2012 in London, and the Soccer World Cups of 2006 in Germany and 2014 in Brazil, were all infinitely better organized than their problem-marred Third World equivalents in between.
Surely therefore it is now time to stage all major global sporting tournaments in the advanced countries of Europe, Australasia and the Americas, rather than in the decaying chaos of Africa and Asia.

AUSTRALIAN NEWS
Late last year the Australian Party for Freedom planned to hold a “Cronulla Ten Year Memorial” event in Sydney in order to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the notorious Cronulla riots (when violence broke out in the Sydney beach suburb of Cronulla after gangs of Muslim Lebanese immigrants attacked and sexually molested Australian youngsters enjoying their traditional Australian beach culture). Unfortunately, however, a ban was imposed on this event by the “Australian Human Rights Commission” and the local Sutherland Shire Council. The Party for Freedom haven’t taken this infringement on their rights to free speech lying down however, and have lodged a legal challenge to this ban with the Federal Court of Australia. At the time of writing we do not know the outcome of this challenge, but of course we wish the Party for Freedom well, and will try to report on further developments regarding this case in future editions of the SCN.

NOTTINGHAM PROTEST HIGHLIGHTS MUGABE’S CRIMES
The following most disturbing report appeared in January 2016 edition of the magazine The Flag, a publication which reports on Zimbabwe matters :-
“A White Zimbabwean farming family have been handcuffed and frog marched off their land to make way for a Black “British” doctor who runs a slimming clinic in Nottingham and whose wife is friend of Mugabe. The Rankin family, who have farmed tobacco in Zimbabwe for decades, were handcuffed by police and dragged off their land so it could be claimed by Sylvester Nyatsuro.
“Dr Nyatsuro, 45, is originally from Zimbabwe but has lived in Britain for at least 15 years, and is now in charge of his own GP practice. He and his wife Veronica were allocated the Rankins’ farm under Robert Mugabe’s controversial land seizure laws which allow the state to take the property of White people and hand it over to ‘indigenous’ Black Africans.
“Phillip Rankin, 57, has lived at Kingston Deverill farm in the north of Zimbabwe for more than 30 years with his wife Anita and their three children. The size of the tobacco farm has been progressively reduced since Mugabe’s land grabs began in 2000, and last year he was told that he must leave the property for good.
“Dr Nyatsuro, who is linked to the Mugabe’s, apparently turned up at Kingston Deverill in September with a government document saying that he was now the rightful owner of the land. The Rankins refused to leave without being compensated for their property, having recently planted a £300,000 tobacco crop, but two dozen settlers moved into an empty cottage nearby and a warrant was issued for Phillip’s arrest.
“In the early hours of Friday morning, 20 police officers dug under the fence surrounding the family’s home and knocked on the door before carting away most of their belongings. They then handcuffed Mr. Rankin and took him to a police station before later releasing him to stay with relatives.
“His son Barry, speaking from his new home in the capital Harare [Salisbury], today described how the family thought they had ‘survived’ after they held onto their land in the initial wave of confiscations by the Mugabe regime. The government insists it is necessary to reduce the Whites’ economic dominance which dates back to the colonial era [sic] - but opponents claim it is a tyrannical and unfair process which bears little relation to justice.
“The White farmers, many of whom have occupied the same plots for decades, were removed from their homes without compensation and often suffered violence from police during the evictions. Around 20 farmers and their workers died during the first wave of seizures, which contributed to the country’s economic collapse as Zimbabwe’s skills base was hollowed out and the amount of crops produced tumbled.
“The policy also led to allegations that Mugabe’s cronies were more likely to be given land than genuinely needy citizens. Roughly 300 White farmers were left in possession of their land, but last year the policy of confiscation seems to have started again, threatening the last remaining holdouts such as the Rankin family in Centenary.
“Dr Nyatsuro’s lawyer today denied that his client had clashed with the Rankin family, claiming that the farmers had not been able to prove that they are the rightful owners of the land. The Foreign Office has expressed concern over the seizure of the Rankins’ farm and suggested that it ‘did not follow the process as described by the constitution’.”
Since this report appeared we have received the following update from the editor of The Flag, who has informed us about a demonstration outside Nyatsuro’s clinic in Nottingham :-
“Dr Nyatsuro’s wife Veronica, who is related to Grace Mugabe, is the clinic’s practice manager and angrily ordered one of the protesters off her property when he started handing out leaflets. She didn’t seem to have much grasp of property rights as he was on the pavement. He advised her to call the police which she did. Unfortunately for her the police didn’t support her effort to claim ownership of the pavement. The demonstrator put up the following notice outside the entrance to the clinic: ‘Dr Nyatsuro: I am a White indigenous British citizen. Leave this clinic within 24 hours because I want it. I am not a doctor but you are not a farmer. Ask your relative Mugabe for compensation’.”

"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.209 – Mr. JAN TAITS of London
Jan Taits first made contact with our movement when he subscribed to S.A.Patriot magazine during the mid-1980s. He subsequently visited South Africa when we thus had the great pleasure of being able to meet him in person. We were immediately highly impressed with him, as he clearly and enthusiastically supported the struggle to maintain civilized rule in South Africa. After we were forced to relocate to the UK in 1990 we established even closer and more regular contact with him, and indeed he was a member of the original founding Committee of the Springbok Club, where everyone found him a most friendly and engaging person. Although he lived in north London he came from a most geographically disparate background, being a quarter Estonian, a quarter German, a quarter Scandinavian and a quarter British! He was however a keen and sincere White patriot in the broadest context, although alas he was at times somewhat naïve in some of his more shadey contacts which he made contact with. Unfortunately he completely disappeared from the scene around 2000 following the premature death of his mother, and although we continued to send him invitations to his last known address he alas failed to attend any further Springbok Club meetings. Shortly before he sadly died the late Peter King managed to make contact with him again, and he evidently expressed interest in becoming active in our movement again, though disappointingly we still saw nothing more of him. It would therefore be great if we could make direct contact with him once more.

RECOMMENDED WEB-SITES OF THE MONTH
All decent people must have been outraged at the sight of dignitaries from the Republic of Ireland “honouring” the nationalist terrorists who died during the 1916 Dublin insurrection, and paying their “respects” to them during the recent 100th anniversary of this terrorist atrocity. .The thing which made this spectacle particularly sickening was that it took place at the same time as a similar terrorist outrage was taking place in Belgium – and it should not be forgotten in this respect that in 1916 Britain (and by this we mean all of Britain, including Irish men and women of all religions) was fighting a ferocious war against an aggressive enemy who had committed earlier evil atrocities against Belgium!
We firmly believe that it is those members of the security forces who fell fighting against the Fenian terrorists who should be honoured and respected, and not the terrorist vermin themselves. These consisted of 23 Policemen (RIC and Dublin Metropolitan Police) and 103 soldiers – and we also should not forget the estimated 374 innocent Dublin civilians who were also killed by the terrorists. An excellent web-site exists remembering each of the 103 soldiers (though alas not the 23 Policemen) who died, and this can be accessed at :-
http://irishmedals.org/participants-in-the-1916-rising_1.html
We should also specifically remember the brave students from the Trinity College (Dublin University) Officer Training Corps who raided the OTC armoury in order to take up arms against the nationalist terrorists, and by so doing saved that beautiful British city of Dublin from even greater damage. One name in particular who should be remembered was Cadet Robert N. Tweedy DUOTC who received a special award for his courage. This we believe was the only occasion when any OTC unit ever took up arms under their own banner in an actual conflict.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
WORLD’S VIEW ……
Sir,
Cecil Rhodes is one of my personal heroes. I consider it a tragedy that he died so young. Had he lived on, I have a vision of an alliance between a Britain led by Rhodes and an America led by Theodore Roosevelt. I would also inform Oriel College of his belief in "equal rights for all civilised men".
Yours etc.,

GOOD OLD SMITHY!
Sir,
I was privileged to meet Ian Smith back in 1974. I was, as an Aussie, an interim member of the Rhodesian Front, living in Gwelo, close to Selukwe where I.S. had his family, I was fortunate enough to relief-manage the Selukwe Grand for a month or so. Met the Prime Minister with his Mum.
Smith rolled up to the opening of Parliament in nothing more than a Peugeot 404 to save money and to set example. Compare this with “Moo Garbage” and his multi-million dollar motor cars.
Smith is the most misunderstood man in modern history. How they painted this fine man in the press is one of history's great lies.
Yours etc.,
A.K., New South Wales, Australia.

OBITUARY
ABE SEGAL
It was with great sadness that we learnt of the recent death of Abe Segal, the famed South African Lawn Tennis player of the 1950s and 60s.
Born in 1930 in the vibrant Doornfontein district of Johannesburg, Abe Segal became the most prominent male South African Tennis player of the post-WWII era. More of a doubles specialist (he only won the South African Men’s Single title once, whereas he was Men’s Doubles champion on five occasions), he formed a formidable partnership with Gordon Forbes, who together reached the French Open Final twice.
But there were many other facets to Abe Segal. He was a bon vivant with an infectious sense of humour, who fully believed in living life to the full – as was expertly illustrated in Gordon Forbes’ sporting classic “A Handful of Summers”. In continued playing and coaching Tennis almost to his dying day, but also in his later years became an accomplished painter and wrote his own highly-acclaimed book “Hey Big Boy”. A true South African patriot, he took great pride in playing for his country in the Davis Cup, often producing performances of an even higher standard than when he was only playing on the individual circuit.
Abe Segal, however, personified the Corinthian spirit of the days of amateur sport better than most. Sport to him and others of his ilk was more about fun rather than making money, and this halcyon attitude rose to its greatest zenith in pioneer societies such as his own in South Africa far more naturally than in the staid societies of old Europe. Life was for living, and in no other field of human activity could this be better exemplified than in competitive sport.
We need more people with the spirit of Abe Segal today, but firmly believe that such people are still arising in pioneer and expatriate communities around the globe at the moment. Our sincere condolences are extended to all members of Abe Segal’s family.

March 2016 Edition.
SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER
March 2016 edition
It seems incredible that it is now 25 years since the conclusion of the First Gulf War. Sadly and reprehensively, however, apart from a ceremony at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire on 28th February, there seemed to be no other mark or mention of this auspicious anniversary anywhere in the UK.
To be sure there were only 47 fatalities amongst British forces during this conflict – a very low total when compared to other wars of the 20th Century – but their sacrifices and the pain and sorrow experienced by their families was just the same. Furthermore, it could be argued that this War for the liberation of Kuwait was of far greater significance for the future security of the West as a whole than any of the century’s previous mainly European conflicts – after all, as a result of legal and stable governance being restored to Kuwait there are now no Kuwaitis among the swarm of refugees and economic migrants currently invading Europe!
Although of course our movement, as well as all other truly patriotic and pro-Western organizations around the globe, fully supported the War to liberate Kuwait, such sentiments – seemingly inevitably – were not shared by parties of the extreme Left and other pro-Islamic sympathizers. An even worse manifestation of this weak-willed mindset came from the highest level however, for instead of pressing on to Baghdad in order to overthrow Saddam Hussein and his evil Ba’athist regime, an opportunity which the situation then of course presented, the leaders of the Western military alliance decided to cease all military action as soon as the Iraqis were expelled from Kuwait. With the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff then being Gen. Colin Powell (a man who couldn’t even pronounce his own christian name correctly!) this probably wasn’t really surprising. In retrospect this “politically correct” appointment of Powell was probably the worst mistake made by the Reagan/George H.W. Bush Administrations.
What happened next was therefore only that which could be expected, for having been “let off the hook” by the lack of resolve displayed by Western leaders the acutely angered Saddam Hussein and his regime started bankrolling and training the infant al-Qa’eda terrorist organization and their fellow-Sunni terrorists of the Taliban in Afghanistan. As a result we witnessed the 9/11 terror attack and other similar atrocities around the West, with the consequent necessity for the Second Gulf War when far more Western casualties resulted. Alas the same lack of resolve followed this subsequent conflict, with Western forces again being withdrawn long before the situation had stabilised, and of course a far too speedy withdrawal also occurred following Western intervention to support the overthrow of the monster Gaddafi in Libya. It can be argued that in all probability these failures to continue a Western presence in these beleaguered lands allowed the movement of Saddam Hussein’s WMDs across the border to Syria to be used in that country’s civil war, the consequent rise of ISIS/ISIL under the control of former Ba’athist officials, and the resulting invasion of Europe by the swarms of migrants from the disintegrating Middle Eastern countries affected.
But there is no point in adopting an “If only” attitude. What has happened has happened, and our task now must be to ensure that he same lack of resolve does not occur again in the future. At the present moment in time, however, our main focus should be on mourning and honoring those brave British and other Western heroes who fell during the First Gulf War. Let us hope therefore that the courage and determination displayed by these true sons and daughters of our race can be transferred to our up and coming Western leaders, both political and military.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
The Springbok Club staged a most enjoyable and indeed inspiring trip to the “Artist and Empire” Exhibition at the Tate Britain Gallery last month. In spite of a few inevitable concessions to “political correctness” in this exhibition, the true glories and success story of the British Empire still shone through. Portraits of such great Imperial heroes as Drake, Hawkins, Clive, Wolfe, Nelson and Gordon were prominently on view, but perhaps to members of the Springbok Club the most awe-inspiring experience was to see the original copy of the famous picture of the last defiant stand by Allan Wilson and the Shangani patrol painted by Allan Stewart.
----------------------------
On Sunday 27th March the Springbok Club will be organizing a trip to see the University Boat Races. Arrangements to view the races from an excellent vantage point on the River Thames are still being finalised, and full details of the rendezvous details will be circulated to all Springbok Club members and supporters in the London area as soon as they have been established. If any supporter would like to be notified specifically about the details then please either e-mail: springbk@netcomuk.co.uk or ‘phone: 07711188430.
----------------------------
In late April the Springbok Club will be staging a special meeting in order to celebrate van Riebeeck’s Day, at which it is hoped to welcome a leading member of a fraternal expatriate organization as guest speaker. In late May the Springbok Club will be holding a special event to celebrate Empire Day, at which it is hoped to welcome a New Zealand supporter as guest of honour.

Although the Swinton Circle is unfortunately still in a dormant state until the organization can be re-constituted, it is planned to hold discussions with the leaders of two other patriotic organizations later this month in order to finalise a new more united structure. Details of these developments will of course be given in next month’s SCN. In the meantime, however, the Swinton Circle’s Re-Circulation Service, by which the organization continues to notify its supporters on national and global issues and news about its own development, will continue, and indeed will be expanded. If you would like your e-mail address to be added to this service then please contact: swinton@netcomuk.co.uk.
The Swinton Circle has also recently received an invitation from the PEGIDA UK organization to participate in a second “Silent Walk” which they are planning in Birmingham for Saturday 2nd April. Worryingly, however, we have recently received information that PEGIDA UK is more directly involved with individuals linked to the “Liberty GB” organization who were implicated in the invasion and wrecking of the Swinton Circle meeting of 31st July than we were previously aware of (see “Letters to the Editor” section). The Swinton Circle will therefore be investigating these alleged links further before deciding whether to recommend participation in future PEGIDA UK events or not.

NEW BRITAIN NEWS
In spite of the fact that because of its relocation to a new headquarters New Britain has been rather inactive over the past few months, we have been delighted to learn that the organization has now established its own FaceBook group. We heartily congratulate New Britain on this initiative, and recommend that all our supporters have a look at this site and join this praise-worthy group, which can be accessed at :-

END THE CAGE AGE!
A supporter has recently informed us about a most estimable campaign being waged by the Compassion in World Farming organization calling for the banning of all cages containing animals in world farming, particularly those encaging rabbits. We of course fully support this campaign as we do not believe there is any justification for the utilization of such artificial environments for any animal bred to provide food for humans or other creatures – particularly not for rabbits who are wild rather than domesticated animals, whose bodies should therefore never be used for food. We hope therefore that as many supporters as possible will view this site and will be prepared to sign the petition. It can be accessed at :-

POISONED VICTORIES
Shortly before the recent 3rd Test between South Africa and England a number of England players, including it is believed Stuart Broad, Alex Hales and Ben Stokes reported feeling unwell, and there was much speculation that this was due to food poisoning. There were also rumours that certain members of the England Women’s team also touring South Africa at the same time had similarly been feeling poorly, though in this case no specific names were mentioned. These rumours of course brought back memories of the 1995 Rugby World Cup Final in Johannesburg, when several leading members of the New Zealand team were laid low apparently with food poisoning, and South Africa most unexpectedly went on to win the final. Although at the time the widespread speculation that the New Zealand team had deliberately been poisoned was pooh-poohed in South Africa as an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory, but over more recent years South African sources have tended to respond to such speculation with a “nod-nod, wink-wink” reaction. It seems highly unlikely that these latest incidents of food poisoning against England Cricketers were deliberately caused however, as not nearly as much was at stake as at a World Cup Final. Far more likely, we believe, that the alleged food poisonings were the result of a collapse in food hygiene standards in the “new” South Africa – similar to the collapse of so much of the infrastructure of South African society under the current dispensation. Regardless of the precise reason, however, these latest incidents illustrate yet again the folly of overseas sporting teams touring South Africa during the current anarchic situation in the country.

AUSTRALIAN MONARCHIST LEAGUE MEDIA RELEASE
We have recently received the following somewhat amusing though actually deeply worrying Media Release from the Australian Monarchist League :-
“Warning - Removal of Chaplain’s Badge Motto is Merely the Beginning
”So the politically correct are at it again. This time wanting to remove the motto: ‘In This Sign Conquer’ from the Australian Army Chaplain's Hat Badge because, it is said that: ‘it is offensive to Muslims’” (The Daily Telegraph 23/11/15)
”This sort of denigration of Australian values has been going on for decades with once semi-militaristic and patriotic organisations clamouring to remove any mention of Australia’s head of state, Her Majesty the Queen. The only reason republican politicians swear or affirm to ‘be faithful and bear true allegiance’ to the Queen is because they constitutionally must do this before taking their seat in the parliament even though, as one republican politician had admitted when asked: ‘Did you perjure yourself?’ ‘Yes, quite simply, of course I did ‘” (NSW Hansard 7/4/05)
”The Ministry of Defence did not canvass the will of the people in their consideration to remove this ancient motto nor did any of the other entities which removed any mention of The Queen and yet, I seem to recall the last time the people had their say on the matter of who is our head of state, they voted overwhelmingly to retain the Queen.
”We are seeing so much of our tradition being washed away by those who cling to ‘political correctness gone mad’ and it is time that this sort of insanity was shown up for what it is - an attempt to destroy our society as-is and create a left-wing Utopian dream-world in which politicians and their comrades will reign supreme and the people will have to do what they are told.
”It may seem a small thing to remove a motto from a chaplain’s badge, but it is an indication of much more to come, most likely leading up to removing the Crown from all Defence Force insignia.”

"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.208 – Ms. MARIANNE McCURDIE of Durban
Marianne McCurdie first came to our attention when she was elected Councillor for the Point Ward on the Durban City Council during the mid-1980s. She represented the enigmatic Civic Action League, an organisation founded by the notorious Brendan Willmer, an individual who was held in great suspicion by mainstream patriots in the Durban area because of his factionalism and refusal to co-operate with anyone else opposing the liberal policies then being enacted by the Prog-dominated Council. In spite of this inauspicious beginning Marianne McCurdie soon started to become aware of the phoniness and dangers of Willmer, and adopted a far more friendly attitude towards other patriotic activists in the City. Perhaps as a result of her willingness to be associated with those who Willmer regarded as his enemies he then demanded that she resign from the Council so that he could nominate a CAL member more subservient to him to stand in her place. Alas Marianne McCurdie gave in to Willmer’s demands and immediately disappeared from the scene, the rumour being that she had emigrated to the United States. We therefore only had direct contact with her for a very brief period, but during that time we became very impressed with her genuine patriotism, intelligence and friendliness. A very attractive woman (surprisingly young in comparison to Willmer’s usual ancient fuddy-duddy hangers-on!), she was a veterinary nurse by profession. Recently we have heard that she is now living in the Johannesburg area (whether or not she did actually emigrate to the United States we don’t know), and so it would be very interesting to make contact with her again.

RECOMMENDED WEB-SITES OF THE MONTH
At the time of writing it is still uncertain which of the “Leave” organisations will gain official accreditation for co-ordinating the campaign advocating that Britain leaves the EU at the forthcoming June 23rd Referendum. There are two main bodies currently campaigning for a “Leave” vote, namely Vote Leave and Leave EU. We do not wish to take sides in any way in this unfortunate internal conflict, as to us the only important matter is maximizing the “Leave” vote as much as possible. We therefore now recommend the official web-sites of both of these organisations, and trust that once official accreditation has been decided upon they may somehow come together in a united dynamic effort.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
YOU MAY CALL US REBELS ……
Sir,
As a UKIP supporter, I am also opposed to the Norway option. I don't want us either being bound by EU rules or giving them money. We are now the 6th best country in the world to do business in, according to the World Bank. We have one of the world's ten largest economies and over sixty million people. Let us do what Rhodesia did and declare UDI.
Yours etc.,
Mark Taylor, London, U.K.

FRIENDS REUNITED
Sir,
In answer to William Nolan’s enquiry (February SCN – Ed.) all three of his old friends are still around, and what I know about them is as follows :-
1) Stuart Millson, a leading authority on classical music, is alas no longer politically active, although he has been serving as a parish councillor in his locality of Malling in Kent. An amiable and extremely likeable person, his main problem in life seems to have been that he’s associated with a lot of disreputable characters, most notably the notorious vexatious litigant Mike Keith-Smith, the self-opinionated BNP buffoon Jonathan Bowden (both now thankfully deceased) and a gentleman not entirely unfamiliar with H.M.Prison Ford in West Sussex! I think that he eventually realised his great mistakes in the bad company which he kept, and this is the reason why he’s now withdrawn from all activism.
2) Stuart Notholt, on the contrary, is still very active, currently being a leading official in the Campaign for an Independent Britain. He’s a man of many talents and a true, though unfortunately largely overlooked, hero of the current patriotic struggle.
3) A.V.R. “Andy” Smith – “A.V.R. Superstar” – is unquestionably a real tragedy. A great patriotic activist during the 80s and 90s (he was the main driving force behind Western Goals) he was not only a prominent figure in British Conservative politics but was also a great friend of South Africa prior to the ANC takeover. He toured the country once on behalf of Western Goals when he made several sparkling media appearances emphasizing the fact that the Western-orientated South Africa had far more friends in the rest of the world than most people realized. He also established a good and close friendship with that great South African journalist Aida Parker, and together they organized a protest march against the NP sellouts. As I say, his dropout from active involvement has been a real tragedy, as he had captivating charisma and undoubtedly still has phenomenal abilities and a lot to offer to the cause.
Yours etc.,
Atholl Grant, London, U.K.

RIGHT RECOGNITION
Sir,
Thank you for the wonderful work you do in producing the monthly Springbok Cyber Newsletter. I shudder to think at both the time, coupled with the amount of work that goes into the production of same. Your dedication and hard work is commendable, and appreciated immensely!
Yours etc.,
W.V., Durban, Natal, South Africa.

ISRAEL-RIGHT
Sir,
I’ve just read an article on South African scholars wanting to boycott Israel. What a joke, as if Israel cares or needs South Africa. This is like a saucepan calling the kettle black. What fools. Just compare the situation. How many deaths in Israel? I do not have the figures, but can you justify over 68,000 since 1994 in South Africa, including my own brother.
Yours etc.,
“Xrayman”, Auckland, New Zealand.
----------------------------
SAVAGE RESULTS
Sir,
I want to write something about this sense of entitlement, and also the twisted versions of history and circumstances which are now circulating. For example, OUR labour built South Africa, say the usual suspects. They don’t understand that labour is a commodity that can be bought and sold. It’s the creators who need the labour who are the engines of South Africa, not the workers.
They don’t understand how an economy works. (If they did they would have created their own economy before the white man arrived.) They actually don’t want to understand because it suits them to play the eternal victims.
Today the IEB (Independent Examination Board) matriculation results came out, where the standard is on a par with English A levels, and the achievers are 95% white and Indian. Incredible results – some have as much as 11 distinctions. This IEB was set up by parents and teachers as they watched the ANC government’s influence take its toll on the country’s education system.
The successful achievers’ stories read the same – hard work, sacrifice, dedication and the support of parents. There’s no easy way.
The government’s pass rate for their schools is 40%, with cheating and reading exam papers before they are issued, a norm. .Anything to “get” the pass rate, never mind what you can do with it.
Verwoerd was right – separate development was the only way.
We are all well, considering we live in a country where the only European nation in the world is “governed” by savages.
Yours etc.,
G.G.R., Krugersdorp, Transvaal, South Africa.
----------------------------
RAND VIEW
Sir,
Seems the ANC and the K4 HIV-nation are so lazy they have to pass laws to legalize the theft of more farms and property, paid for by hard-working farmers and their families who feed the lazy K4s .Thank God some of us saw all this coming 20 odd years ago and immigrated .”Azania” kraal politics and a uneducated lazy work force. millions of Bantu racists who vote for a uneducated low-life sex-pest and put him in as head of state thinking he’s some kind of Marxist terrorist prophet . well just add it up folks: no work, no rain, less farming, over-breeding, total failure of the Rand on world markets and the crash in gold and platinum prices adds up to what . a country that’s is going to starve and have serious crime problems for decades.
Yours etc.,
Roy Winsor, Canterbury, Kent, U.K.

WHALE WARNING
Sir,
I was quite concerned to see the publicity which you gave to the PEGIDA UK organization in your latest issue. As you correctly observe, Mr. Paul Weston the Chairman of the LibertyGB party is now involved in this venture, but this doesn’t mean to say that he’s no longer involved with LibertyGB, an organization which I believe caused considerable problems for the Swinton Circle a few months back. Furthermore Dr. George Whale, also from LibertyGB, also seems to hold high office in PEGIDA UK. I urge great caution when dealing with this body.
Yours etc.,
“Powellite”, Gillingham, Kent, U.K.
[ Dr. George Whale (we don’t know whether his doctorate is genuine or not) was indeed involved with LibertyGB. When we first met him he seemed a very civilized and friendly person, and we were really looking forward to working increasingly closely together in the future. He was however present at the disastrous Swinton Circle meeting of 31st July (which of course was wrecked by about 2 dozen gate-crashers who had apparently been “invited” by elements within LibertyGB) and after the meeting collapsed in chaos he came up to us at the bar afterwards and sarcastically “congratulated” us on staging such a “successful” meeting. This either means that he has a very sick sense of humour or else he regarded the wrecking of this meeting as successful for his aims! Thanks therefore for this warning. We will indeed be very wary of PEGIDA UK from now onwards. – Ed.]
------------------------------------------------------------------
ROGUES GALLERY
A supporter from South Africa has recently sent us an e-mail in which he congratulates us for our efforts and achievements in advancing the South African cause “in exile”, but then goes on to warn us about a smear and hate campaign being waged against us by a certain Mr. Jack Sen, and asked us whether we knew anything else about him, as apparently he had been appointed “UK and European Representative” by a South African party calling itself the “Front Nationale”.
We do indeed know a lot about this sinister Jack Sen character, as we detailed in the July 2015 edition of the SCN. We replied to this enquiry from our supporter from South Africa with the following message therefore :-
“Yes, we have heard about this mysterious Jack Sen character, and indeed experienced quite a bit of trouble from this weird creature during the middle of last year, though happily this was completely overcome and we haven't heard anything further regarding him for many months now - until this unexpected message from you! [Name deleted out of courtesy] is of course also well known to us, but in her case for all the right reasons. She is now fully engrossed with the Springbok Club and indeed currently serves on our committee. She has a heart of gold and is totally dedicated to the cause. Yes, she did ‘do her own thing’ in support of the beleaguered Whites left in the ‘new’ South Africa in her initial years after re-locating here, but has now thrown all her energies into the Springbok Club, and as a result has made the organisation a far more dynamic and effective body. The Springbok Club is now undoubtedly the most important expatriate South African organisation (all the rest seem purely social-orientated and don't to want to touch politics in any way!), and this undoubtedly is the reason why the ANC and the Left - and indeed their far-Right anti-Semitic fellow-travellers - fear us so much and wish to destroy us.
“To return to Jack Sen (now colloquially referred to as ‘Sennapods’!) as an individual, we definitely don't think that he is a ‘South African intelligence agent’ as you suspect, but is actually the exact opposite, being a far-Right anti-Semitic would-be infiltrator and disruptor. Sennapods openly admits to being one-quarter Indian, but also claims that another grandparent was an Afrikaner. He rose from nowhere to be selected as the UKIP candidate for West Lancashire (the Ormskirk area) in last year's General Election, but was expelled from UKIP (who apparently mainly chose him as their candidate for "politically correct" reasons because they wanted to have more ethnic minority candidates) shortly before the election following his making some quite objectionable anti-Semitic comments about the Labour MP for Liverpool Wavertree, Luciana Berger (who is actually one of the better Labour MPs, having voted in the right way in support of air attacks against the ISIS/ISIL terrorists). Although we had read about his expulsion from UKIP we knew nothing whatsoever about Sennapods until [name deleted] warned us out-of-the-blue to be very wary of him. The very next day he contacted us via FaceBook saying that he wanted to become involved with the Springbok Club, but openly admitted that he had previously spoken for an organisation called ‘The London Forum’. Now it so happens that we knew quite a bit about this innocuously-named organisation as about a year previously they had asked one of our officials to speak for them, but when we investigated them further we discovered that they were rabidly anti-Semitic in nature, and furthermore had provided platforms for two individuals who had been instrumental in trying to destroy our fraternal patriotic organisation, the Swinton Circle. For both these reasons we therefore replied to Sennapods telling him that we didn't want to be associated with him in any way. As a result of this he simply went ballistic, threatening us with all sorts of attacks, specifically that a smear article about us would be placed on an anti-Semitic American web-site. We had never heard of this web-site before, but as the name was so cranky and it was so obscure we didn't worry about this threat of Sennapods in any way. Shortly after this, however, he sent us notification of the smear item which he had placed there - and we then started to be inundated with contacts (both FaceBook messages and ordinary e-mails) attacking us apparently as a result of this vile article. Although we were easily able to remove all these messages it was however proving a great nuisance and was occupying a lot of our valuable time, and as some of the comments made on the smear article were clearly libellous we therefore took the matter to the Police, who proved extremely helpful. We informed Sennapods that we had referred the matter to the Police - and then all the e-mail and FaceBook attacks against us suddenly ceased just as quickly as they had started! It then really ‘clicked’ that in spite of bearing a multitude of names all these e-mail and FaceBook attacks used almost identical phraseology - in other words they hadn't been sent by different people, but only by one individual using a variety of ‘sock-puppet’ names (almost certainly Sennapods himself of course!). It also soon became apparent that the crankily-named American-hosted web-site was almost certainly also run by Sennapods himself using a pseudonym, and that its readership therefore was very limited. As in addition to these revelations one of our supporters who accessed the site after we had told him about all the troubles we were experiencing remarked that the attacks on us for not being anti-Semitic would actually be viewed very favourably in the eyes of all decent people, we therefore decided not to worry about the whole unfortunate episode any further - and indeed we have not heard anything further from or about Senapods prior to this recent puzzling message from you.
“To sum up therefore, Sennapods is clearly not a ‘South African Intelligence Agent’ as you've speculated (he's far too stupid for this!), though he could be being used by the ANC-regime in order to cause disruption and time-wasting among their enemies who are actively opposing them overseas. If he is being used in this way Sennapods himself undoubtedly doesn't realise it, for in reality he is a paranoid anti-Semitic nutter with a big chip on his shoulders - undoubtedly because of his mixed-race ancestry. We've encountered such a concept previously. It's usually known as ‘being more Papist than the Pope’. Those so afflicted hate the fact that they have some non-White blood in their veins so they therefore join or associate with far-Right racist organisations, and once therein adopt the extremist possible positions so as to be accepted by other members. In this regard it is interesting to note that after being expelled from UKIP Sennapods almost immediately joined the overtly neo-fascist ‘British National Party’!”
We would furthermore like to add that we know very little about the South African political party calling itself the “Front Nationale” which was mentioned – although the fact that a South African organization uses a French name does appear to be very strange. Furthermore, with Freedom Front Plus operating within the system and the HNP still valiantly working outside, there doesn’t seem to be any need for another pro-White political party in South Africa. If, however, our supporter who contacted us in this regard is correct and that the highly sinister Jack Sen is their officially appointed overseas representative, then the organization as a whole must therefore be viewed with great suspicion.

March 2016 edition
It seems incredible that it is now 25 years since the conclusion of the First Gulf War. Sadly and reprehensively, however, apart from a ceremony at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire on 28th February, there seemed to be no other mark or mention of this auspicious anniversary anywhere in the UK.
To be sure there were only 47 fatalities amongst British forces during this conflict – a very low total when compared to other wars of the 20th Century – but their sacrifices and the pain and sorrow experienced by their families was just the same. Furthermore, it could be argued that this War for the liberation of Kuwait was of far greater significance for the future security of the West as a whole than any of the century’s previous mainly European conflicts – after all, as a result of legal and stable governance being restored to Kuwait there are now no Kuwaitis among the swarm of refugees and economic migrants currently invading Europe!
Although of course our movement, as well as all other truly patriotic and pro-Western organizations around the globe, fully supported the War to liberate Kuwait, such sentiments – seemingly inevitably – were not shared by parties of the extreme Left and other pro-Islamic sympathizers. An even worse manifestation of this weak-willed mindset came from the highest level however, for instead of pressing on to Baghdad in order to overthrow Saddam Hussein and his evil Ba’athist regime, an opportunity which the situation then of course presented, the leaders of the Western military alliance decided to cease all military action as soon as the Iraqis were expelled from Kuwait. With the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff then being Gen. Colin Powell (a man who couldn’t even pronounce his own christian name correctly!) this probably wasn’t really surprising. In retrospect this “politically correct” appointment of Powell was probably the worst mistake made by the Reagan/George H.W. Bush Administrations.
What happened next was therefore only that which could be expected, for having been “let off the hook” by the lack of resolve displayed by Western leaders the acutely angered Saddam Hussein and his regime started bankrolling and training the infant al-Qa’eda terrorist organization and their fellow-Sunni terrorists of the Taliban in Afghanistan. As a result we witnessed the 9/11 terror attack and other similar atrocities around the West, with the consequent necessity for the Second Gulf War when far more Western casualties resulted. Alas the same lack of resolve followed this subsequent conflict, with Western forces again being withdrawn long before the situation had stabilised, and of course a far too speedy withdrawal also occurred following Western intervention to support the overthrow of the monster Gaddafi in Libya. It can be argued that in all probability these failures to continue a Western presence in these beleaguered lands allowed the movement of Saddam Hussein’s WMDs across the border to Syria to be used in that country’s civil war, the consequent rise of ISIS/ISIL under the control of former Ba’athist officials, and the resulting invasion of Europe by the swarms of migrants from the disintegrating Middle Eastern countries affected.
But there is no point in adopting an “If only” attitude. What has happened has happened, and our task now must be to ensure that he same lack of resolve does not occur again in the future. At the present moment in time, however, our main focus should be on mourning and honoring those brave British and other Western heroes who fell during the First Gulf War. Let us hope therefore that the courage and determination displayed by these true sons and daughters of our race can be transferred to our up and coming Western leaders, both political and military.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
The Springbok Club staged a most enjoyable and indeed inspiring trip to the “Artist and Empire” Exhibition at the Tate Britain Gallery last month. In spite of a few inevitable concessions to “political correctness” in this exhibition, the true glories and success story of the British Empire still shone through. Portraits of such great Imperial heroes as Drake, Hawkins, Clive, Wolfe, Nelson and Gordon were prominently on view, but perhaps to members of the Springbok Club the most awe-inspiring experience was to see the original copy of the famous picture of the last defiant stand by Allan Wilson and the Shangani patrol painted by Allan Stewart.
----------------------------
On Sunday 27th March the Springbok Club will be organizing a trip to see the University Boat Races. Arrangements to view the races from an excellent vantage point on the River Thames are still being finalised, and full details of the rendezvous details will be circulated to all Springbok Club members and supporters in the London area as soon as they have been established. If any supporter would like to be notified specifically about the details then please either e-mail: springbk@netcomuk.co.uk or ‘phone: 07711188430.
----------------------------
In late April the Springbok Club will be staging a special meeting in order to celebrate van Riebeeck’s Day, at which it is hoped to welcome a leading member of a fraternal expatriate organization as guest speaker. In late May the Springbok Club will be holding a special event to celebrate Empire Day, at which it is hoped to welcome a New Zealand supporter as guest of honour.

SWINTON CIRCLE NEWS
Although the Swinton Circle is unfortunately still in a dormant state until the organization can be re-constituted, it is planned to hold discussions with the leaders of two other patriotic organizations later this month in order to finalise a new more united structure. Details of these developments will of course be given in next month’s SCN. In the meantime, however, the Swinton Circle’s Re-Circulation Service, by which the organization continues to notify its supporters on national and global issues and news about its own development, will continue, and indeed will be expanded. If you would like your e-mail address to be added to this service then please contact: swinton@netcomuk.co.uk.
The Swinton Circle has also recently received an invitation from the PEGIDA UK organization to participate in a second “Silent Walk” which they are planning in Birmingham for Saturday 2nd April. Worryingly, however, we have recently received information that PEGIDA UK is more directly involved with individuals linked to the “Liberty GB” organization who were implicated in the invasion and wrecking of the Swinton Circle meeting of 31st July than we were previously aware of (see “Letters to the Editor” section). The Swinton Circle will therefore be investigating these alleged links further before deciding whether to recommend participation in future PEGIDA UK events or not.

NEW BRITAIN NEWS
In spite of the fact that because of its relocation to a new headquarters New Britain has been rather inactive over the past few months, we have been delighted to learn that the organization has now established its own FaceBook group. We heartily congratulate New Britain on this initiative, and recommend that all our supporters have a look at this site and join this praise-worthy group, which can be accessed at :-

END THE CAGE AGE!
A supporter has recently informed us about a most estimable campaign being waged by the Compassion in World Farming organization calling for the banning of all cages containing animals in world farming, particularly those encaging rabbits. We of course fully support this campaign as we do not believe there is any justification for the utilization of such artificial environments for any animal bred to provide food for humans or other creatures – particularly not for rabbits who are wild rather than domesticated animals, whose bodies should therefore never be used for food. We hope therefore that as many supporters as possible will view this site and will be prepared to sign the petition. It can be accessed at :-

POISONED VICTORIES
Shortly before the recent 3rd Test between South Africa and England a number of England players, including it is believed Stuart Broad, Alex Hales and Ben Stokes reported feeling unwell, and there was much speculation that this was due to food poisoning. There were also rumours that certain members of the England Women’s team also touring South Africa at the same time had similarly been feeling poorly, though in this case no specific names were mentioned. These rumours of course brought back memories of the 1995 Rugby World Cup Final in Johannesburg, when several leading members of the New Zealand team were laid low apparently with food poisoning, and South Africa most unexpectedly went on to win the final. Although at the time the widespread speculation that the New Zealand team had deliberately been poisoned was pooh-poohed in South Africa as an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory, but over more recent years South African sources have tended to respond to such speculation with a “nod-nod, wink-wink” reaction. It seems highly unlikely that these latest incidents of food poisoning against England Cricketers were deliberately caused however, as not nearly as much was at stake as at a World Cup Final. Far more likely, we believe, that the alleged food poisonings were the result of a collapse in food hygiene standards in the “new” South Africa – similar to the collapse of so much of the infrastructure of South African society under the current dispensation. Regardless of the precise reason, however, these latest incidents illustrate yet again the folly of overseas sporting teams touring South Africa during the current anarchic situation in the country.

AUSTRALIAN MONARCHIST LEAGUE MEDIA RELEASE
We have recently received the following somewhat amusing though actually deeply worrying Media Release from the Australian Monarchist League :-
“Warning - Removal of Chaplain’s Badge Motto is Merely the Beginning
”So the politically correct are at it again. This time wanting to remove the motto: ‘In This Sign Conquer’ from the Australian Army Chaplain's Hat Badge because, it is said that: ‘it is offensive to Muslims’” (The Daily Telegraph 23/11/15)
”This sort of denigration of Australian values has been going on for decades with once semi-militaristic and patriotic organisations clamouring to remove any mention of Australia’s head of state, Her Majesty the Queen. The only reason republican politicians swear or affirm to ‘be faithful and bear true allegiance’ to the Queen is because they constitutionally must do this before taking their seat in the parliament even though, as one republican politician had admitted when asked: ‘Did you perjure yourself?’ ‘Yes, quite simply, of course I did ‘” (NSW Hansard 7/4/05)
”The Ministry of Defence did not canvass the will of the people in their consideration to remove this ancient motto nor did any of the other entities which removed any mention of The Queen and yet, I seem to recall the last time the people had their say on the matter of who is our head of state, they voted overwhelmingly to retain the Queen.
”We are seeing so much of our tradition being washed away by those who cling to ‘political correctness gone mad’ and it is time that this sort of insanity was shown up for what it is - an attempt to destroy our society as-is and create a left-wing Utopian dream-world in which politicians and their comrades will reign supreme and the people will have to do what they are told.
”It may seem a small thing to remove a motto from a chaplain’s badge, but it is an indication of much more to come, most likely leading up to removing the Crown from all Defence Force insignia.”

"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.208 – Ms. MARIANNE McCURDIE of Durban
Marianne McCurdie first came to our attention when she was elected Councillor for the Point Ward on the Durban City Council during the mid-1980s. She represented the enigmatic Civic Action League, an organisation founded by the notorious Brendan Willmer, an individual who was held in great suspicion by mainstream patriots in the Durban area because of his factionalism and refusal to co-operate with anyone else opposing the liberal policies then being enacted by the Prog-dominated Council. In spite of this inauspicious beginning Marianne McCurdie soon started to become aware of the phoniness and dangers of Willmer, and adopted a far more friendly attitude towards other patriotic activists in the City. Perhaps as a result of her willingness to be associated with those who Willmer regarded as his enemies he then demanded that she resign from the Council so that he could nominate a CAL member more subservient to him to stand in her place. Alas Marianne McCurdie gave in to Willmer’s demands and immediately disappeared from the scene, the rumour being that she had emigrated to the United States. We therefore only had direct contact with her for a very brief period, but during that time we became very impressed with her genuine patriotism, intelligence and friendliness. A very attractive woman (surprisingly young in comparison to Willmer’s usual ancient fuddy-duddy hangers-on!), she was a veterinary nurse by profession. Recently we have heard that she is now living in the Johannesburg area (whether or not she did actually emigrate to the United States we don’t know), and so it would be very interesting to make contact with her again.

RECOMMENDED WEB-SITES OF THE MONTH
At the time of writing it is still uncertain which of the “Leave” organisations will gain official accreditation for co-ordinating the campaign advocating that Britain leaves the EU at the forthcoming June 23rd Referendum. There are two main bodies currently campaigning for a “Leave” vote, namely Vote Leave and Leave EU. We do not wish to take sides in any way in this unfortunate internal conflict, as to us the only important matter is maximizing the “Leave” vote as much as possible. We therefore now recommend the official web-sites of both of these organisations, and trust that once official accreditation has been decided upon they may somehow come together in a united dynamic effort.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
YOU MAY CALL US REBELS ……
Sir,
As a UKIP supporter, I am also opposed to the Norway option. I don't want us either being bound by EU rules or giving them money. We are now the 6th best country in the world to do business in, according to the World Bank. We have one of the world's ten largest economies and over sixty million people. Let us do what Rhodesia did and declare UDI.
Yours etc.,
Mark Taylor, London, U.K.

FRIENDS REUNITED
Sir,
In answer to William Nolan’s enquiry (February SCN – Ed.) all three of his old friends are still around, and what I know about them is as follows :-
1) Stuart Millson, a leading authority on classical music, is alas no longer politically active, although he has been serving as a parish councillor in his locality of Malling in Kent. An amiable and extremely likeable person, his main problem in life seems to have been that he’s associated with a lot of disreputable characters, most notably the notorious vexatious litigant Mike Keith-Smith, the self-opinionated BNP buffoon Jonathan Bowden (both now thankfully deceased) and a gentleman not entirely unfamiliar with H.M.Prison Ford in West Sussex! I think that he eventually realised his great mistakes in the bad company which he kept, and this is the reason why he’s now withdrawn from all activism.
2) Stuart Notholt, on the contrary, is still very active, currently being a leading official in the Campaign for an Independent Britain. He’s a man of many talents and a true, though unfortunately largely overlooked, hero of the current patriotic struggle.
3) A.V.R. “Andy” Smith – “A.V.R. Superstar” – is unquestionably a real tragedy. A great patriotic activist during the 80s and 90s (he was the main driving force behind Western Goals) he was not only a prominent figure in British Conservative politics but was also a great friend of South Africa prior to the ANC takeover. He toured the country once on behalf of Western Goals when he made several sparkling media appearances emphasizing the fact that the Western-orientated South Africa had far more friends in the rest of the world than most people realized. He also established a good and close friendship with that great South African journalist Aida Parker, and together they organized a protest march against the NP sellouts. As I say, his dropout from active involvement has been a real tragedy, as he had captivating charisma and undoubtedly still has phenomenal abilities and a lot to offer to the cause.
Yours etc.,
Atholl Grant, London, U.K.

RIGHT RECOGNITION
Sir,
Thank you for the wonderful work you do in producing the monthly Springbok Cyber Newsletter. I shudder to think at both the time, coupled with the amount of work that goes into the production of same. Your dedication and hard work is commendable, and appreciated immensely!
Yours etc.,
W.V., Durban, Natal, South Africa.

ISRAEL-RIGHT
Sir,
I’ve just read an article on South African scholars wanting to boycott Israel. What a joke, as if Israel cares or needs South Africa. This is like a saucepan calling the kettle black. What fools. Just compare the situation. How many deaths in Israel? I do not have the figures, but can you justify over 68,000 since 1994 in South Africa, including my own brother.
Yours etc.,
“Xrayman”, Auckland, New Zealand.
----------------------------
SAVAGE RESULTS
Sir,
I want to write something about this sense of entitlement, and also the twisted versions of history and circumstances which are now circulating. For example, OUR labour built South Africa, say the usual suspects. They don’t understand that labour is a commodity that can be bought and sold. It’s the creators who need the labour who are the engines of South Africa, not the workers.
They don’t understand how an economy works. (If they did they would have created their own economy before the white man arrived.) They actually don’t want to understand because it suits them to play the eternal victims.
Today the IEB (Independent Examination Board) matriculation results came out, where the standard is on a par with English A levels, and the achievers are 95% white and Indian. Incredible results – some have as much as 11 distinctions. This IEB was set up by parents and teachers as they watched the ANC government’s influence take its toll on the country’s education system.
The successful achievers’ stories read the same – hard work, sacrifice, dedication and the support of parents. There’s no easy way.
The government’s pass rate for their schools is 40%, with cheating and reading exam papers before they are issued, a norm. .Anything to “get” the pass rate, never mind what you can do with it.
Verwoerd was right – separate development was the only way.
We are all well, considering we live in a country where the only European nation in the world is “governed” by savages.
Yours etc.,
G.G.R., Krugersdorp, Transvaal, South Africa.
----------------------------
RAND VIEW
Sir,
Seems the ANC and the K4 HIV-nation are so lazy they have to pass laws to legalize the theft of more farms and property, paid for by hard-working farmers and their families who feed the lazy K4s .Thank God some of us saw all this coming 20 odd years ago and immigrated .”Azania” kraal politics and a uneducated lazy work force. millions of Bantu racists who vote for a uneducated low-life sex-pest and put him in as head of state thinking he’s some kind of Marxist terrorist prophet . well just add it up folks: no work, no rain, less farming, over-breeding, total failure of the Rand on world markets and the crash in gold and platinum prices adds up to what . a country that’s is going to starve and have serious crime problems for decades.
Yours etc.,
Roy Winsor, Canterbury, Kent, U.K.
----------------------------
WHALE WARNING
Sir,
I was quite concerned to see the publicity which you gave to the PEGIDA UK organization in your latest issue. As you correctly observe, Mr. Paul Weston the Chairman of the LibertyGB party is now involved in this venture, but this doesn’t mean to say that he’s no longer involved with LibertyGB, an organization which I believe caused considerable problems for the Swinton Circle a few months back. Furthermore Dr. George Whale, also from LibertyGB, also seems to hold high office in PEGIDA UK. I urge great caution when dealing with this body.
Yours etc.,
“Powellite”, Gillingham, Kent, U.K.
[ Dr. George Whale (we don’t know whether his doctorate is genuine or not) was indeed involved with LibertyGB. When we first met him he seemed a very civilized and friendly person, and we were really looking forward to working increasingly closely together in the future. He was however present at the disastrous Swinton Circle meeting of 31st July (which of course was wrecked by about 2 dozen gate-crashers who had apparently been “invited” by elements within LibertyGB) and after the meeting collapsed in chaos he came up to us at the bar afterwards and sarcastically “congratulated” us on staging such a “successful” meeting. This either means that he has a very sick sense of humour or else he regarded the wrecking of this meeting as successful for his aims! Thanks therefore for this warning. We will indeed be very wary of PEGIDA UK from now onwards. – Ed.]
------------------------------------------------------------------
ROGUES GALLERY
A supporter from South Africa has recently sent us an e-mail in which he congratulates us for our efforts and achievements in advancing the South African cause “in exile”, but then goes on to warn us about a smear and hate campaign being waged against us by a certain Mr. Jack Sen, and asked us whether we knew anything else about him, as apparently he had been appointed “UK and European Representative” by a South African party calling itself the “Front Nationale”.
We do indeed know a lot about this sinister Jack Sen character, as we detailed in the July 2015 edition of the SCN. We replied to this enquiry from our supporter from South Africa with the following message therefore :-
“Yes, we have heard about this mysterious Jack Sen character, and indeed experienced quite a bit of trouble from this weird creature during the middle of last year, though happily this was completely overcome and we haven't heard anything further regarding him for many months now - until this unexpected message from you! [Name deleted out of courtesy] is of course also well known to us, but in her case for all the right reasons. She is now fully engrossed with the Springbok Club and indeed currently serves on our committee. She has a heart of gold and is totally dedicated to the cause. Yes, she did ‘do her own thing’ in support of the beleaguered Whites left in the ‘new’ South Africa in her initial years after re-locating here, but has now thrown all her energies into the Springbok Club, and as a result has made the organisation a far more dynamic and effective body. The Springbok Club is now undoubtedly the most important expatriate South African organisation (all the rest seem purely social-orientated and don't to want to touch politics in any way!), and this undoubtedly is the reason why the ANC and the Left - and indeed their far-Right anti-Semitic fellow-travellers - fear us so much and wish to destroy us.
“To return to Jack Sen (now colloquially referred to as ‘Sennapods’!) as an individual, we definitely don't think that he is a ‘South African intelligence agent’ as you suspect, but is actually the exact opposite, being a far-Right anti-Semitic would-be infiltrator and disruptor. Sennapods openly admits to being one-quarter Indian, but also claims that another grandparent was an Afrikaner. He rose from nowhere to be selected as the UKIP candidate for West Lancashire (the Ormskirk area) in last year's General Election, but was expelled from UKIP (who apparently mainly chose him as their candidate for "politically correct" reasons because they wanted to have more ethnic minority candidates) shortly before the election following his making some quite objectionable anti-Semitic comments about the Labour MP for Liverpool Wavertree, Luciana Berger (who is actually one of the better Labour MPs, having voted in the right way in support of air attacks against the ISIS/ISIL terrorists). Although we had read about his expulsion from UKIP we knew nothing whatsoever about Sennapods until [name deleted] warned us out-of-the-blue to be very wary of him. The very next day he contacted us via FaceBook saying that he wanted to become involved with the Springbok Club, but openly admitted that he had previously spoken for an organisation called ‘The London Forum’. Now it so happens that we knew quite a bit about this innocuously-named organisation as about a year previously they had asked one of our officials to speak for them, but when we investigated them further we discovered that they were rabidly anti-Semitic in nature, and furthermore had provided platforms for two individuals who had been instrumental in trying to destroy our fraternal patriotic organisation, the Swinton Circle. For both these reasons we therefore replied to Sennapods telling him that we didn't want to be associated with him in any way. As a result of this he simply went ballistic, threatening us with all sorts of attacks, specifically that a smear article about us would be placed on an anti-Semitic American web-site. We had never heard of this web-site before, but as the name was so cranky and it was so obscure we didn't worry about this threat of Sennapods in any way. Shortly after this, however, he sent us notification of the smear item which he had placed there - and we then started to be inundated with contacts (both FaceBook messages and ordinary e-mails) attacking us apparently as a result of this vile article. Although we were easily able to remove all these messages it was however proving a great nuisance and was occupying a lot of our valuable time, and as some of the comments made on the smear article were clearly libellous we therefore took the matter to the Police, who proved extremely helpful. We informed Sennapods that we had referred the matter to the Police - and then all the e-mail and FaceBook attacks against us suddenly ceased just as quickly as they had started! It then really ‘clicked’ that in spite of bearing a multitude of names all these e-mail and FaceBook attacks used almost identical phraseology - in other words they hadn't been sent by different people, but only by one individual using a variety of ‘sock-puppet’ names (almost certainly Sennapods himself of course!). It also soon became apparent that the crankily-named American-hosted web-site was almost certainly also run by Sennapods himself using a pseudonym, and that its readership therefore was very limited. As in addition to these revelations one of our supporters who accessed the site after we had told him about all the troubles we were experiencing remarked that the attacks on us for not being anti-Semitic would actually be viewed very favourably in the eyes of all decent people, we therefore decided not to worry about the whole unfortunate episode any further - and indeed we have not heard anything further from or about Senapods prior to this recent puzzling message from you.
“To sum up therefore, Sennapods is clearly not a ‘South African Intelligence Agent’ as you've speculated (he's far too stupid for this!), though he could be being used by the ANC-regime in order to cause disruption and time-wasting among their enemies who are actively opposing them overseas. If he is being used in this way Sennapods himself undoubtedly doesn't realise it, for in reality he is a paranoid anti-Semitic nutter with a big chip on his shoulders - undoubtedly because of his mixed-race ancestry. We've encountered such a concept previously. It's usually known as ‘being more Papist than the Pope’. Those so afflicted hate the fact that they have some non-White blood in their veins so they therefore join or associate with far-Right racist organisations, and once therein adopt the extremist possible positions so as to be accepted by other members. In this regard it is interesting to note that after being expelled from UKIP Sennapods almost immediately joined the overtly neo-fascist ‘British National Party’!”
We would furthermore like to add that we know very little about the South African political party calling itself the “Front Nationale” which was mentioned – although the fact that a South African organization uses a French name does appear to be very strange. Furthermore, with Freedom Front Plus operating within the system and the HNP still valiantly working outside, there doesn’t seem to be any need for another pro-White political party in South Africa. If, however, our supporter who contacted us in this regard is correct and that the highly sinister Jack Sen is their officially appointed overseas representative, then the organization as a whole must therefore be viewed with great suspicion.

February 2016 Edition.
SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER
February 2016 edition
The fact that attempts by malcontents to have the statue of Cecil John Rhodes removed from the entrance to Oriel College Oxford, and to eliminate other memorials and references to him at Oxford University, have failed is of course reason for great rejoicing. The aspect of this dispute which has not been so pleasing, however, has been the reasons given for opposing these disgraceful attempts.
The University authorities have invariably stated that their refusal to surrender to intimidation on this matter was because it would be a piece of historical vandalism, and that the life and work of Rhodes should be viewed in the context of his time. But the achievements of Cecil John Rhodes should not only be viewed as phenomenal and praise-worthy in the context of the time when he lived, but rather should be regarded as glorious and laudable in the eternal passage of time! The reason why his statue must remain should be clearly stated as being because he was an unarguably great heroic figure who should always be admired.
Cecil John Rhodes was undoubtedly the greatest Briton of the past 200 years – and arguably the greatest Briton ever. It is no wonder therefore that the enemies of the British nation and of our entire Western civilization should wish to remove all memories of this truly great and inspirational man. His achievements therefore should not only be viewed in their historical context, but as a continuous example of British global greatness, a source of good for all of mankind.
The son of an Anglican clergyman from Bishops Stortford, Cecil John Rhodes was therefore born into a very modest environment. In spite of poor health he however proved academically brilliant (hence his lifelong association with Oxford University), and also possessed superb entrepreneurial skills, which enabled him quickly to identify the economic potential of Southern Africa’s mineral wealth, and to exploit it for the benefit of all. But it was his overwhelming patriotism which was the main driving force of his life, and rather than using the wealth which he obtained by his astonishing commercial acumen for his own personal aggrandizement as most successful entrepreneurs would have done, he instead used it to expand the boundries and power of the British Empire. It is said that Alexander the Great had some 70 cities and settlements named after him – but Cecil Rhodes had two entire countries named after him! Has there ever been a man of such greatness and achievement in modern times!
Alas, however, Rhodes made one big mistake at the end of his life, though given the healthy state of Western society at the time of his death he should not be blamed for failing to foreseeing how the world would change for the worse during the following 100 years. This mistake concerned alterations to the beneficiaries named in his Will. In his original Will he left all his vast wealth for the establishment of a secret society to advance the cause and interests of the British Empire – a truly visionary aim which befitted a man of such patriotism and genius. Sadly, however, this planned stipulation was watered down over the years, so that by the time of his death his bequeathal was specifically to endower a number of scholarships at his beloved Oxford University for leading scholars of British kindred from Southern Africa, North America and Australasia. In the 1900s, when British universities acted as powerhouses for producing Imperial administrators and innovators, this was a noble ideal indeed, but alas as the 20th century progressed the universities of the West were slowly but steadily usurped by socialist and multi-cultural academics, so that by the end of the century they had become hotbeds for those who stood for the complete antithesis of Rhodes’ ideals. As a result therefore we have recently witnessed the obscenity of some lesser-breeds being allowed to benefit from the scholarships which Rhodes had intended only for his own kith and kin. Even worse moreover, it has been one particular negro “Rhodes scholar” selected by the “new” South African authorities who has hypocritically initiated the attempts to have the statue of his own benefactor removed!
Quite clearly as we advance into another century a new sea-change in Western society is urgently needed – and to achieve this what is clearly needed is for a second Cecil John Rhodes to emerge. We are confident that such a man or woman will eventually come to prominence, and indeed we believe that he or she may already be alive today. When they do, however, it will be essential that they stay true to the aims of Rhodes’ first Will and make sure that their inheritance remains in the hands of those who fully and genuinely share the same beliefs, and not to let control pass to transient and contrary leaders of academia.
[ The Springbok Club aims to stage a visit to pay their respects at Rhodes’ statue in Oxford later this year, and it is also believed that a speech about his life and inspirational achievements will feature in this year’s “Raising of the Flag” ceremony.]
------------------------------------------------------------------
SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
The 2016 AGM of the Springbok Club was held earlier this month, at which the current Executive Committee was re-elected in full. After the business side of affairs was completed Mr.Gary Vincent gave a most fascinating and captivating talk about the Battle of Isandhlwana during the Anglo-Zulu War, which he illustrated with both models and a PowerPoint presentation. All those members and supporters of the Springbok Club who did not attend therefore certainly missed a treat! In his talk Mr.Vincent emphasized the bravery displayed by Lt.Col. Henry Curling during this battle, an unfortunately mostly forgotten hero of the British Empire. [The Kent Branch of the Springbok Club now intends to stage a trip to the grave of Lt.Col. Henry Curling, which is in Ramsgate, to pay their respects in the near future.]
----------------------------
On Saturday 27th February the Springbok Club will be staging a trip to the “Artist and Empire” Exhibition at the Tate Britain Gallery in Millbank. Assemble between 13.45 hrs and 14.00 hrs in the foyer of the Gallery (enter via the west-side Atterbury Street entrance). There will be a small admission charge of approximately £14.00 (depending upon status) to visit this exhibition.

On Sunday 27th March the Springbok Club will be organizing a trip to see the University Boat races. Arrangements to view the races from an excellent vantage point on the River Thames are currently being finalised, and full details will be given in next month’s SCN. In April the Springbok Club will be staging a special meeting in order to celebrate van Riebeeck’s Day, at which it is hoped to welcome a leading member of a fraternal expatriate organization as guest speaker.

SWINTON CIRCLE NEWS
Although the Swinton Circle is currently in a dormant state until the organization can be re-constituted, hopefully later this year, it was contacted by the PEGIDA UK movement a few weeks ago and asked to support their “Silent Walk” in Birmingham on February 6th. In view of the fact that the Swinton Circle has always supported unity among all genuine patriotic organizations it was therefore most pleased to circulate all its database of members and supporters with information about this event, and indeed it is believed that a number of them did actually attend. Interestingly we have noted that the leader of PEGIDA UK is now quoted as being Mr. Paul Weston, who was previously Chairman of the “LibertyGB” organization. Mr.Weston was of course the Swinton Circle’s planned guest speaker at the disastrous meeting of 31st July, which was invaded and disrupted by a motley group of neo-fascists, Islamo-fascists and splittists. One of our supporters who was at this chaotic meeting but who sat at the front and was therefore able to listen to Mr.Weston’s address without interruption, has recently told us that he made an exceptionally good speech. If he has now cut all links with the apparently “LibertyGB”-linked trouble-makers who wrecked the notorious meeting of 31st July then the re-established Swinton Circle would certainly like to invite him to address the organization again – but next time with no disruptions so that everyone in attendance can hear what he has to say!

RECENT REPORT FROM THE ZIMBABWE CONSERVATION TASK FORCE
We have recently received the following report from the ZCTF, which gives some most disturbing news about the killer of Cecil the Lion :-
“WALTER PALMER
“It is with great regret that we announce that the Zimbabwean authorities have decided not to prosecute Walter Palmer for killing Cecil the lion. According to them, all Palmer's paper work and documents were in order so he didn't break any laws. We don't agree with this at all and we intend to try other avenues to have him prosecuted.
“OPEN SEASON ON ELEPHANTS
“The rate at which elephants are being killed in Zimbabwe is truly disturbing. Last week 14 were killed - 3 in Matusadona and 11 in Hwange National Park. 16 were found dead in Lupande and 10 in Chakabvi in Nyamatela. Many of these elephants have been poisoned with cyanide. 14 tusks have been recovered but the other tusks were taken by the poachers. The problem with the cyanide poisoning is that other animals are dying as well. 2 vultures were found poisoned after eating the carcass of one of the elephants and an eland was found snared. A packet containing 1 kilogram of cyanide was also found by the authorities. 36 carcasses were found near Sinamatella in Hwange National Park in the Dzivanini area. This totals 76 elephants killed in the past 2 weeks.
“BIG TUSKER KILLED
“A huge elephant with tusks weighing 122 pounds was killed in Gonarezhou by a German hunter. We suspect this elephant may have come from Kruger Park. His tusks were so big that they dragged along the ground when he was walking.
“The most disappointing thing is that when a local Zimbabwean kills an animal for food for his family, he is sentenced to between 5 and 15 years in prison but when a wealthy foreign hunter comes in and shoots an animal, he gets away with it. What message are we giving the people?”

ROYAL BACKING
A supporter has recently written to us saying how much he admires the interest and backing being displayed towards the England Rugby team by members of the Royal Family – particularly Prince Harry. Although we semi-agree with these sentiments, it should always be remembered that the Royal Family represents the whole of the United Kingdom, and indeed all of the core Commonwealth countries also. It is surely unwise therefore for prominent members of the Royal Family to give overt support to just one component part of the realms which they represent. Yet another reason we therefore believe why a united British Lions-style team should always compete in international competitions – and not only in Rugby!
------------------------------------------------------------------
AUSTRALIAN MONARCHIST LEAGUE ACTION
We have recently received the following circular message from Philip Benwell, the National Chairman of the Australian Monarchist League, in which he describes how in spite of the regrettable ousting of Tony Abbott as Australian Prime Minister by the wretched Malcolm Turnbull, the AML is as a result re-doubling its efforts to counteract the cancer of Republicanism. We certainly encourage all our Australian supporters to give their full backing to the work of the AML :-
“THE TASK AHEAD
“The events of the past few months, firstly with the election of the media celebrity Peter FitzSimons, as head of the Australian Republican Movement and then with the ousting of the monarchist Tony Abbott and his replacement by the former head of the Republican Movement, Malcolm Turnbull, has meant that the Australian Monarchist League must also increase its activities so as to counter attempts to make us into a republic. We expect that this will begin by initially dumbing down all knowledge of our system of constitutional monarchy and then by moving towards a plebiscite after the 2016 election, whoever may be PrimeMinister.
”Our new website will soon be online and combined with our social media arms will be one of our major stratagems both in opposing republicanism and in promoting our safe and secure system of constitutional monarchy in Australia. Our current media website: www.amlmedia.info, which has details of our current media spokespersons, will be integrated into our new website.
”The Australian Monarchist League will be conducting intensive training sessions on dealing with the media in October and November. These sessions will take place on a Saturday all day in Sydney. However, we will also be arranging evening sessions in certain cases.
”There is no obligation either way and the sessions will give candidates an opportunity to see what is involved and will give our training staff an opportunity to get to know those who attend.
”Should anyone wish to make application to be involved, please do so to: secretary@monarchist.org.au giving your name, age or age group and contact details and we will get back to you.
”Applicants must be financial members of the Australian Monarchist League. If you are serious about applying and are not yet a member, you can ascertain membership details at: http://www.monarchist.org.au/membership.html”
------------------------------------------------------------------
PRESCIENT PREDICTION
A supporter still based in the “new” South Africa has recently sent us the following item relating to predictions which she made at the time of the release of the terrorist leader Mandela. It is remarkable how totally accurate her predictions have turned out to be! :-
“Herewith something I wrote in February 1990 just after Mandela was unbanned/released. Being prescient has its ups and downs and being ultimately right doesn’t mean you win. Pik Botha kept this clipping and gave it to Theresa Papenfus and she put it in a book which she wrote about him. I wonder why he kept the clipping?
“Thanks for your query regarding my reference to you in the biography of Pik Botha. In the chapter “Paper Jets” in Pik Botha and his times (p. 645) I quoted from your letter published in The Citizen of 6 February 1990: The paragraph reads:-
“In the diverse political camps these announcements were received variously with delight, suspicion or shock. The wife of [a leading] ultra-conservative, laid this turnabout by the conservative de Klerk at the door of Pik Botha, ‘that perennial eminence grise of government policy making’.South Africans, she wrote, could expect the following of the new dispensation: ‘Their children’s school curricula will be changed, their municipalities will come under control of the Third World; there will be no such thing as White residential areas; they will be ordered to employ Blacks in their businesses even if they have ample staff; they will be taxed into total penury to accommodate the fastest growing birth-rate in the world, they will watch Third World television, see their economy collapse and see their community life destroyed’.”

"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.207 – Mr. WAYNE BARR and Mnr. J.HARTZENBERG
Recent editions of the SCN have been returned to us from both Mr. Wayne Barr and from Mnr. J.Hartzenberg as the latest e-mail addresses which we have for them are evidently no longer operative. Wayne Barr first contacted us because he wished to trace an old colleague from Rhodesia, and we believe that J.Hartzenberg is the nephew of Dr.Ferdi Hartzenberg, the former Leader of the Conservative Party of South Africa. If anyone could let us know their new e-mail addresses we would be most grateful.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
RHODES SCHOLAR
Sir,
Cecil Rhodes was Prime Minister of the Cape, not of South Africa as erroneously stated in certain section of the media. The Union of South Africa was only founded some years after his death. He was also a great man, one of my personal heroes, and it was a tragedy that he died so young. It would have been great to see him Prime Minister of Great Britain, co-operating with the great Theodore Roosevelt in an alliance that would have changed the world entirely for the better.
Yours etc.,
Mark Taylor, London, U.K.

WILLOW PATTERN
Sir,
Bob Young’s letter “Inside the Swinton Circle” [SCN, January 2016] was spot-on. I understand that the Swinton Circle’s former Chairman/Treasurer Robin Willow disappeared with all the organisation’s funds. Has he re-surfaced yet, and has he returned the money?

ROGUES GALLERY
When we were still based in South Africa itself and were publishing the original S.A.Patriot we were contacted by a mysterious character named Jim Saleam from Australia who professed full support for our aims and objectives and claimed to be involved in an organization with similar patriotic ideals called Australian National Action. To be candidly honest we were always very puzzled by Mr.Saleam’s strange surname, but presumed that it was southern European in origin, so as he and his organisation were evidently very much on our own political wavelength, and indeed as he asserted firm support for the White South African cause which we were fighting for, we therefore accepted his bona fides and started to work together and to exchange publications.
Contact with Saleam and his ANA suddenly ceased during the late 1980s however, and at the time we couldn't understand why. The next we heard of Saleam's name was well over 10 years later in the early days of the Internet, by which time we had re-established operations in the UK as the Springbok Club. We appointed a supporter from NSW as our Australian co-ordinator circa. 2000, but having sent him a full list of all our Australian contacts dating back to our South African days, this Australian supporter told us that he was shocked and concerned to see Jim Saleam's name appearing on this list - though without explaining why!
A couple of years later, however, Saleam himself made e-mail contact with us, and despite the previous worrying reaction which we'd received from our would-be Australian co-ordinator we expressed great pleasure in re-making contact with him after so many years, and placed his e-mail address on our SCN circulation list. We were dumbfounded, however, to receive a critical response from him to one edition of our SCN shortly after this, when he attacked us for siding with our own Western forces during the War against Terror in Iraq - but bizarrely ended this message by sending his best wishes to all “White South African exiles”! How anyone could support terrorists from the Middle East attacking White nations in one breath and then to express support for Whites in another part of the world facing similar attacks from the international terrorist brotherhood in the next breath simply defies belief! Mixed up and confused seemed to be an under-statement! We then received another most strange e-mail from him in which he asked us what we knew about a whole “alphabet-soup listing” of alleged UK political organizations. One of these set of initials we knew fairly well, another was a neo-Nazi outfit which we wouldn't touch with a bargepole, but the rest were completely unknown to us. Quite clearly therefore he had simply made up all these other set of initials, or else they were - literally - just "two men and a dog" fruitcake organisations! Although we wrote back to Saleam politely telling his what we knew (or more accurately didn't know!) about these alleged organisations, we informed him unambiguously that as he apparently supported the Islamic threat posed to the West whereas we as White patriots were of course firmly opposed to this insidious danger, it was probably best if all contact between us should cease - and indeed we've had no further contact with him ever since!
A few weeks ago, however, we were contacted by another Australian supporter who has managed to answer a lot of unanswered questions concerning the sinister Mr.Saleam. In an article which he sent us disturbingly entitled: “Nazi Bunker Exposed - Dr.[sic] Jim Saleam salutes Colonel Gaddafi” (which came complete with a photo apparently of Mr.Saleam wearing a swastika arm-band!). It reads :-
”In a ‘world exclusive’ Australia First Party leader Dr.[sic] Jim Saleam is busted in a Nazi bunker with fellow Australia First members saluting terrorist Colonel Gaddafi. The revealing video proves beyond a doubt that Jim Saleam allegiance still lies with the failed Islamo-Nazi ideology, despite his untruths saying otherwise.
”The video footage was apparently bought for a six-pack of imported beer from a disgruntled former member of Australia First. It seems there isn’t too much loyalty among the arm raising comrades of Jim’s bunker. The video reveals the group’s shindig celebrating the life of Colonel Gaddafi. Among some nationalist circles Colonel Gaddafi is seen as a Libyan nationalist who fought for his people and nation but Colonel Gaddafi lost all credibility when he funded the Palestinian terrorists who were responsible for the bombing of Pam Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988, which resulted in the murder of 270 innocent people.
”In the video Australia First members give speeches praising Colonel Gaddafi for funding Marxist, Fascist and Palestinian terrorist groups. One of the speakers talks about the ‘situation’ saying ‘Since I’m in a pro-Axis milieu’ as evidence of the Nazi flags hanging in the background, meaning the party-goers are bona fide Nazis. Another member yells out, ‘Kill the Jews’. The video starts and ends with Australia First members saying ‘Seig Heil’ and in the closing seconds of the video, one member praises Adolf Hitler for having ‘balls’.
”Normally, we would not stoop to such lows in revealing the darker side of Saleam’s weird and zany world but we believe it is in the interest of the patriotic movement and general public to know the truth about Jim’s allegiance to a struggle that doesn’t belong to us. Over the years, the remnants of Adolf’s fan club have caused tremendous damage to the patriotic movement. Jim has also maintained a dedicated and nasty campaign against Party for Freedom for years writing extensively on Party for Freedom sprouting malicious lies and jealous on-line rants.
”For many decades Jim Saleam has been a pimple on the backside of nationalism due to his dedicated and nasty campaigns against Patriots and Nationalists alike, so it is indeed refreshing to see the whacky wheels turn and reveal the truth about the enigma of Jim. More recently, Jim has been referred to as the ‘father of halal nationalism’ due to his alleged connections and admiration of Islamic groups.
”During Jim’s teenage years in the 1970s, he was a member of the National Socialist Party of Australia. Jim was also photographed wearing a ‘swastika’ armband posing in front of a war memorial with other ANSP members during a party rally.
”In 1982, Jim Saleam co-founded National Action. The party was well known for its violent street activism and was a regular in the print and television media. National Action eventually imploded due to Saleam’s criminal actions, which included property offences and fraud in 1984 and also for his role in organizing a shotgun attack in 1989 on Eddie Funde, which was carried out by two National Action members. In 1991, Saleam was sentenced to 3 years gaol for his role in orgainising the attack alleging it was a Police set-up. He also served time in gaol for the property offences and fraud.
”Jim Saleam formed a branch of the Australia First Party in Sydney in 2002. Jim was the secretary of the newly established branch, however he moved quickly to consolidate his base further after the party was deregistered. Jim became President, and eventually gained enough members to re-registered the Australia First Party. More recently, the Australian Electoral Commission deregistered the Australia First Party in early 2015.
”The patriotic movement in Australia has grown significantly over the past few years due to many factors including the maturity of new patriotic leaders and activists entering the political arena. Fortunately, Nazi relics like Jim Saleam have been rejected and exchanged for a more sustainable and appealing Australian nationalism
that is relevant to today’s struggle against the corrupt political establishment.”
So there we have it then. Mr.Saleam wasn’t a fellow White patriot as he claimed when he first made contact with us during the 1980s – but rather was a closet neo-Nazi nutter, or perhaps more accurately an Islamo-fascist scumbag of the type which we described in December 2015 Edition of the SCN! (Maybe this explains his rather strange surname, which perhaps is Arabic in origin?). Furthermore we now know why contact with him suddenly ceased during the late 1980s – he had been arrested and was awaiting trial for fraud and attempted murder! How on earth do we ever come into contact with such weird, deranged and indeed evil cranks such as Mr.Saleam?

February 2016 edition
The fact that attempts by malcontents to have the statue of Cecil John Rhodes removed from the entrance to Oriel College Oxford, and to eliminate other memorials and references to him at Oxford University, have failed is of course reason for great rejoicing. The aspect of this dispute which has not been so pleasing, however, has been the reasons given for opposing these disgraceful attempts.
The University authorities have invariably stated that their refusal to surrender to intimidation on this matter was because it would be a piece of historical vandalism, and that the life and work of Rhodes should be viewed in the context of his time. But the achievements of Cecil John Rhodes should not only be viewed as phenomenal and praise-worthy in the context of the time when he lived, but rather should be regarded as glorious and laudable in the eternal passage of time! The reason why his statue must remain should be clearly stated as being because he was an unarguably great heroic figure who should always be admired.
Cecil John Rhodes was undoubtedly the greatest Briton of the past 200 years – and arguably the greatest Briton ever. It is no wonder therefore that the enemies of the British nation and of our entire Western civilization should wish to remove all memories of this truly great and inspirational man. His achievements therefore should not only be viewed in their historical context, but as a continuous example of British global greatness, a source of good for all of mankind.
The son of an Anglican clergyman from Bishops Stortford, Cecil John Rhodes was therefore born into a very modest environment. In spite of poor health he however proved academically brilliant (hence his lifelong association with Oxford University), and also possessed superb entrepreneurial skills, which enabled him quickly to identify the economic potential of Southern Africa’s mineral wealth, and to exploit it for the benefit of all. But it was his overwhelming patriotism which was the main driving force of his life, and rather than using the wealth which he obtained by his astonishing commercial acumen for his own personal aggrandizement as most successful entrepreneurs would have done, he instead used it to expand the boundries and power of the British Empire. It is said that Alexander the Great had some 70 cities and settlements named after him – but Cecil Rhodes had two entire countries named after him! Has there ever been a man of such greatness and achievement in modern times!
Alas, however, Rhodes made one big mistake at the end of his life, though given the healthy state of Western society at the time of his death he should not be blamed for failing to foreseeing how the world would change for the worse during the following 100 years. This mistake concerned alterations to the beneficiaries named in his Will. In his original Will he left all his vast wealth for the establishment of a secret society to advance the cause and interests of the British Empire – a truly visionary aim which befitted a man of such patriotism and genius. Sadly, however, this planned stipulation was watered down over the years, so that by the time of his death his bequeathal was specifically to endower a number of scholarships at his beloved Oxford University for leading scholars of British kindred from Southern Africa, North America and Australasia. In the 1900s, when British universities acted as powerhouses for producing Imperial administrators and innovators, this was a noble ideal indeed, but alas as the 20th century progressed the universities of the West were slowly but steadily usurped by socialist and multi-cultural academics, so that by the end of the century they had become hotbeds for those who stood for the complete antithesis of Rhodes’ ideals. As a result therefore we have recently witnessed the obscenity of some lesser-breeds being allowed to benefit from the scholarships which Rhodes had intended only for his own kith and kin. Even worse moreover, it has been one particular negro “Rhodes scholar” selected by the “new” South African authorities who has hypocritically initiated the attempts to have the statue of his own benefactor removed!
Quite clearly as we advance into another century a new sea-change in Western society is urgently needed – and to achieve this what is clearly needed is for a second Cecil John Rhodes to emerge. We are confident that such a man or woman will eventually come to prominence, and indeed we believe that he or she may already be alive today. When they do, however, it will be essential that they stay true to the aims of Rhodes’ first Will and make sure that their inheritance remains in the hands of those who fully and genuinely share the same beliefs, and not to let control pass to transient and contrary leaders of academia.
[ The Springbok Club aims to stage a visit to pay their respects at Rhodes’ statue in Oxford later this year, and it is also believed that a speech about his life and inspirational achievements will feature in this year’s “Raising of the Flag” ceremony.]
------------------------------------------------------------------
SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
The 2016 AGM of the Springbok Club was held earlier this month, at which the current Executive Committee was re-elected in full. After the business side of affairs was completed Mr.Gary Vincent gave a most fascinating and captivating talk about the Battle of Isandhlwana during the Anglo-Zulu War, which he illustrated with both models and a PowerPoint presentation. All those members and supporters of the Springbok Club who did not attend therefore certainly missed a treat! In his talk Mr.Vincent emphasized the bravery displayed by Lt.Col. Henry Curling during this battle, an unfortunately mostly forgotten hero of the British Empire. [The Kent Branch of the Springbok Club now intends to stage a trip to the grave of Lt.Col. Henry Curling, which is in Ramsgate, to pay their respects in the near future.]
----------------------------
On Saturday 27th February the Springbok Club will be staging a trip to the “Artist and Empire” Exhibition at the Tate Britain Gallery in Millbank. Assemble between 13.45 hrs and 14.00 hrs in the foyer of the Gallery (enter via the west-side Atterbury Street entrance). There will be a small admission charge of approximately £14.00 (depending upon status) to visit this exhibition.
----------------------------
On Sunday 27th March the Springbok Club will be organizing a trip to see the University Boat races. Arrangements to view the races from an excellent vantage point on the River Thames are currently being finalised, and full details will be given in next month’s SCN. In April the Springbok Club will be staging a special meeting in order to celebrate van Riebeeck’s Day, at which it is hoped to welcome a leading member of a fraternal expatriate organization as guest speaker.
------------------------------------------------------------------
SWINTON CIRCLE NEWS
Although the Swinton Circle is currently in a dormant state until the organization can be re-constituted, hopefully later this year, it was contacted by the PEGIDA UK movement a few weeks ago and asked to support their “Silent Walk” in Birmingham on February 6th. In view of the fact that the Swinton Circle has always supported unity among all genuine patriotic organizations it was therefore most pleased to circulate all its database of members and supporters with information about this event, and indeed it is believed that a number of them did actually attend. Interestingly we have noted that the leader of PEGIDA UK is now quoted as being Mr. Paul Weston, who was previously Chairman of the “LibertyGB” organization. Mr.Weston was of course the Swinton Circle’s planned guest speaker at the disastrous meeting of 31st July, which was invaded and disrupted by a motley group of neo-fascists, Islamo-fascists and splittists. One of our supporters who was at this chaotic meeting but who sat at the front and was therefore able to listen to Mr.Weston’s address without interruption, has recently told us that he made an exceptionally good speech. If he has now cut all links with the apparently “LibertyGB”-linked trouble-makers who wrecked the notorious meeting of 31st July then the re-established Swinton Circle would certainly like to invite him to address the organization again – but next time with no disruptions so that everyone in attendance can hear what he has to say!

RECENT REPORT FROM THE ZIMBABWE CONSERVATION TASK FORCE
We have recently received the following report from the ZCTF, which gives some most disturbing news about the killer of Cecil the Lion :-
“WALTER PALMER
“It is with great regret that we announce that the Zimbabwean authorities have decided not to prosecute Walter Palmer for killing Cecil the lion. According to them, all Palmer's paper work and documents were in order so he didn't break any laws. We don't agree with this at all and we intend to try other avenues to have him prosecuted.
“OPEN SEASON ON ELEPHANTS
“The rate at which elephants are being killed in Zimbabwe is truly disturbing. Last week 14 were killed - 3 in Matusadona and 11 in Hwange National Park. 16 were found dead in Lupande and 10 in Chakabvi in Nyamatela. Many of these elephants have been poisoned with cyanide. 14 tusks have been recovered but the other tusks were taken by the poachers. The problem with the cyanide poisoning is that other animals are dying as well. 2 vultures were found poisoned after eating the carcass of one of the elephants and an eland was found snared. A packet containing 1 kilogram of cyanide was also found by the authorities. 36 carcasses were found near Sinamatella in Hwange National Park in the Dzivanini area. This totals 76 elephants killed in the past 2 weeks.
“BIG TUSKER KILLED
“A huge elephant with tusks weighing 122 pounds was killed in Gonarezhou by a German hunter. We suspect this elephant may have come from Kruger Park. His tusks were so big that they dragged along the ground when he was walking.
“The most disappointing thing is that when a local Zimbabwean kills an animal for food for his family, he is sentenced to between 5 and 15 years in prison but when a wealthy foreign hunter comes in and shoots an animal, he gets away with it. What message are we giving the people?”

ROYAL BACKING
A supporter has recently written to us saying how much he admires the interest and backing being displayed towards the England Rugby team by members of the Royal Family – particularly Prince Harry. Although we semi-agree with these sentiments, it should always be remembered that the Royal Family represents the whole of the United Kingdom, and indeed all of the core Commonwealth countries also. It is surely unwise therefore for prominent members of the Royal Family to give overt support to just one component part of the realms which they represent. Yet another reason we therefore believe why a united British Lions-style team should always compete in international competitions – and not only in Rugby!

AUSTRALIAN MONARCHIST LEAGUE ACTION
We have recently received the following circular message from Philip Benwell, the National Chairman of the Australian Monarchist League, in which he describes how in spite of the regrettable ousting of Tony Abbott as Australian Prime Minister by the wretched Malcolm Turnbull, the AML is as a result re-doubling its efforts to counteract the cancer of Republicanism. We certainly encourage all our Australian supporters to give their full backing to the work of the AML :-
“THE TASK AHEAD
“The events of the past few months, firstly with the election of the media celebrity Peter FitzSimons, as head of the Australian Republican Movement and then with the ousting of the monarchist Tony Abbott and his replacement by the former head of the Republican Movement, Malcolm Turnbull, has meant that the Australian Monarchist League must also increase its activities so as to counter attempts to make us into a republic. We expect that this will begin by initially dumbing down all knowledge of our system of constitutional monarchy and then by moving towards a plebiscite after the 2016 election, whoever may be PrimeMinister.
”Our new website will soon be online and combined with our social media arms will be one of our major stratagems both in opposing republicanism and in promoting our safe and secure system of constitutional monarchy in Australia. Our current media website: www.amlmedia.info, which has details of our current media spokespersons, will be integrated into our new website.
”The Australian Monarchist League will be conducting intensive training sessions on dealing with the media in October and November. These sessions will take place on a Saturday all day in Sydney. However, we will also be arranging evening sessions in certain cases.
”There is no obligation either way and the sessions will give candidates an opportunity to see what is involved and will give our training staff an opportunity to get to know those who attend.
”Should anyone wish to make application to be involved, please do so to: secretary@monarchist.org.au giving your name, age or age group and contact details and we will get back to you.
”Applicants must be financial members of the Australian Monarchist League. If you are serious about applying and are not yet a member, you can ascertain membership details at: http://www.monarchist.org.au/membership.html”

PRESCIENT PREDICTION
A supporter still based in the “new” South Africa has recently sent us the following item relating to predictions which she made at the time of the release of the terrorist leader Mandela. It is remarkable how totally accurate her predictions have turned out to be! :-
“Herewith something I wrote in February 1990 just after Mandela was unbanned/released. Being prescient has its ups and downs and being ultimately right doesn’t mean you win. Pik Botha kept this clipping and gave it to Theresa Papenfus and she put it in a book which she wrote about him. I wonder why he kept the clipping?
“Thanks for your query regarding my reference to you in the biography of Pik Botha. In the chapter “Paper Jets” in Pik Botha and his times (p. 645) I quoted from your letter published in The Citizen of 6 February 1990: The paragraph reads:-
“In the diverse political camps these announcements were received variously with delight, suspicion or shock. The wife of [a leading] ultra-conservative, laid this turnabout by the conservative de Klerk at the door of Pik Botha, ‘that perennial eminence grise of government policy making’.South Africans, she wrote, could expect the following of the new dispensation: ‘Their children’s school curricula will be changed, their municipalities will come under control of the Third World; there will be no such thing as White residential areas; they will be ordered to employ Blacks in their businesses even if they have ample staff; they will be taxed into total penury to accommodate the fastest growing birth-rate in the world, they will watch Third World television, see their economy collapse and see their community life destroyed’.”

"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.207 – Mr. WAYNE BARR and Mnr. J.HARTZENBERG
Recent editions of the SCN have been returned to us from both Mr. Wayne Barr and from Mnr. J.Hartzenberg as the latest e-mail addresses which we have for them are evidently no longer operative. Wayne Barr first contacted us because he wished to trace an old colleague from Rhodesia, and we believe that J.Hartzenberg is the nephew of Dr.Ferdi Hartzenberg, the former Leader of the Conservative Party of South Africa. If anyone could let us know their new e-mail addresses we would be most grateful.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
RHODES SCHOLAR
Sir,
Cecil Rhodes was Prime Minister of the Cape, not of South Africa as erroneously stated in certain section of the media. The Union of South Africa was only founded some years after his death. He was also a great man, one of my personal heroes, and it was a tragedy that he died so young. It would have been great to see him Prime Minister of Great Britain, co-operating with the great Theodore Roosevelt in an alliance that would have changed the world entirely for the better.
Yours etc.,
Mark Taylor, London, U.K.

WILLOW PATTERN
Sir,
Bob Young’s letter “Inside the Swinton Circle” [SCN, January 2016] was spot-on. I understand that the Swinton Circle’s former Chairman/Treasurer Robin Willow disappeared with all the organisation’s funds. Has he re-surfaced yet, and has he returned the money?
Yours etc.,

ROGUES GALLERY
When we were still based in South Africa itself and were publishing the original S.A.Patriot we were contacted by a mysterious character named Jim Saleam from Australia who professed full support for our aims and objectives and claimed to be involved in an organization with similar patriotic ideals called Australian National Action. To be candidly honest we were always very puzzled by Mr.Saleam’s strange surname, but presumed that it was southern European in origin, so as he and his organisation were evidently very much on our own political wavelength, and indeed as he asserted firm support for the White South African cause which we were fighting for, we therefore accepted his bona fides and started to work together and to exchange publications.
Contact with Saleam and his ANA suddenly ceased during the late 1980s however, and at the time we couldn't understand why. The next we heard of Saleam's name was well over 10 years later in the early days of the Internet, by which time we had re-established operations in the UK as the Springbok Club. We appointed a supporter from NSW as our Australian co-ordinator circa. 2000, but having sent him a full list of all our Australian contacts dating back to our South African days, this Australian supporter told us that he was shocked and concerned to see Jim Saleam's name appearing on this list - though without explaining why!
A couple of years later, however, Saleam himself made e-mail contact with us, and despite the previous worrying reaction which we'd received from our would-be Australian co-ordinator we expressed great pleasure in re-making contact with him after so many years, and placed his e-mail address on our SCN circulation list. We were dumbfounded, however, to receive a critical response from him to one edition of our SCN shortly after this, when he attacked us for siding with our own Western forces during the War against Terror in Iraq - but bizarrely ended this message by sending his best wishes to all “White South African exiles”! How anyone could support terrorists from the Middle East attacking White nations in one breath and then to express support for Whites in another part of the world facing similar attacks from the international terrorist brotherhood in the next breath simply defies belief! Mixed up and confused seemed to be an under-statement! We then received another most strange e-mail from him in which he asked us what we knew about a whole “alphabet-soup listing” of alleged UK political organizations. One of these set of initials we knew fairly well, another was a neo-Nazi outfit which we wouldn't touch with a bargepole, but the rest were completely unknown to us. Quite clearly therefore he had simply made up all these other set of initials, or else they were - literally - just "two men and a dog" fruitcake organisations! Although we wrote back to Saleam politely telling his what we knew (or more accurately didn't know!) about these alleged organisations, we informed him unambiguously that as he apparently supported the Islamic threat posed to the West whereas we as White patriots were of course firmly opposed to this insidious danger, it was probably best if all contact between us should cease - and indeed we've had no further contact with him ever since!
A few weeks ago, however, we were contacted by another Australian supporter who has managed to answer a lot of unanswered questions concerning the sinister Mr.Saleam. In an article which he sent us disturbingly entitled: “Nazi Bunker Exposed - Dr.[sic] Jim Saleam salutes Colonel Gaddafi” (which came complete with a photo apparently of Mr.Saleam wearing a swastika arm-band!). It reads :-
”In a ‘world exclusive’ Australia First Party leader Dr.[sic] Jim Saleam is busted in a Nazi bunker with fellow Australia First members saluting terrorist Colonel Gaddafi. The revealing video proves beyond a doubt that Jim Saleam allegiance still lies with the failed Islamo-Nazi ideology, despite his untruths saying otherwise.
”The video footage was apparently bought for a six-pack of imported beer from a disgruntled former member of Australia First. It seems there isn’t too much loyalty among the arm raising comrades of Jim’s bunker. The video reveals the group’s shindig celebrating the life of Colonel Gaddafi. Among some nationalist circles Colonel Gaddafi is seen as a Libyan nationalist who fought for his people and nation but Colonel Gaddafi lost all credibility when he funded the Palestinian terrorists who were responsible for the bombing of Pam Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988, which resulted in the murder of 270 innocent people.
”In the video Australia First members give speeches praising Colonel Gaddafi for funding Marxist, Fascist and Palestinian terrorist groups. One of the speakers talks about the ‘situation’ saying ‘Since I’m in a pro-Axis milieu’ as evidence of the Nazi flags hanging in the background, meaning the party-goers are bona fide Nazis. Another member yells out, ‘Kill the Jews’. The video starts and ends with Australia First members saying ‘Seig Heil’ and in the closing seconds of the video, one member praises Adolf Hitler for having ‘balls’.
”Normally, we would not stoop to such lows in revealing the darker side of Saleam’s weird and zany world but we believe it is in the interest of the patriotic movement and general public to know the truth about Jim’s allegiance to a struggle that doesn’t belong to us. Over the years, the remnants of Adolf’s fan club have caused tremendous damage to the patriotic movement. Jim has also maintained a dedicated and nasty campaign against Party for Freedom for years writing extensively on Party for Freedom sprouting malicious lies and jealous on-line rants.
”For many decades Jim Saleam has been a pimple on the backside of nationalism due to his dedicated and nasty campaigns against Patriots and Nationalists alike, so it is indeed refreshing to see the whacky wheels turn and reveal the truth about the enigma of Jim. More recently, Jim has been referred to as the ‘father of halal nationalism’ due to his alleged connections and admiration of Islamic groups.
”During Jim’s teenage years in the 1970s, he was a member of the National Socialist Party of Australia. Jim was also photographed wearing a ‘swastika’ armband posing in front of a war memorial with other ANSP members during a party rally.
”In 1982, Jim Saleam co-founded National Action. The party was well known for its violent street activism and was a regular in the print and television media. National Action eventually imploded due to Saleam’s criminal actions, which included property offences and fraud in 1984 and also for his role in organizing a shotgun attack in 1989 on Eddie Funde, which was carried out by two National Action members. In 1991, Saleam was sentenced to 3 years gaol for his role in orgainising the attack alleging it was a Police set-up. He also served time in gaol for the property offences and fraud.
”Jim Saleam formed a branch of the Australia First Party in Sydney in 2002. Jim was the secretary of the newly established branch, however he moved quickly to consolidate his base further after the party was deregistered. Jim became President, and eventually gained enough members to re-registered the Australia First Party. More recently, the Australian Electoral Commission deregistered the Australia First Party in early 2015.
”The patriotic movement in Australia has grown significantly over the past few years due to many factors including the maturity of new patriotic leaders and activists entering the political arena. Fortunately, Nazi relics like Jim Saleam have been rejected and exchanged for a more sustainable and appealing Australian nationalism
that is relevant to today’s struggle against the corrupt political establishment.”
So there we have it then. Mr.Saleam wasn’t a fellow White patriot as he claimed when he first made contact with us during the 1980s – but rather was a closet neo-Nazi nutter, or perhaps more accurately an Islamo-fascist scumbag of the type which we described in December 2015 Edition of the SCN! (Maybe this explains his rather strange surname, which perhaps is Arabic in origin?). Furthermore we now know why contact with him suddenly ceased during the late 1980s – he had been arrested and was awaiting trial for fraud and attempted murder! How on earth do we ever come into contact with such weird, deranged and indeed evil cranks such as Mr.Saleam?
