SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER
November 2012 edition
On 22nd September Corrie Sanders, who was briefly WBO World Heavyweight Boxing champion in 2003, was callously murdered at a country lodge restaurant near his home town of Brits Transvaal . Sanders was shot through the stomach by armed robbers of the restaurant. There is no possibility that he was deliberately targeted, as one of the robbers evidently cried out “shoot the big fellow”, clearly indicating that they didn’t know who he was. Sanders died in the local hospital the following day, and there has been speculation that if he has access to first-world healthcare his life could have been saved.
Callous murders during armed robberies such as that of Sanders are actually commonplace in the “new” South Africa
Farm murders in South Africa
But it is not only violent crime which threatens the lives of all who remain in or who visit the “new” South Africa
In the recently released latest South African Census the White population was given as just over four and a half million. In 1990 the White population was estimated at around six million. This 25% decline has not only been due to all the large number of sensible Whites who have managed to escape the disintegrating country, but also by the out-of-proportion death-rate. Although many White South Africans – particularly the elderly – are simply unable to leave the country, the vast majority of the remaining four and a half million should have no problem in re-settling somewhere in the civilised Western world. If they do not, and choose to remain in the crime-ridden collapsing “new” South Africa

New Britain’s special Trafalgar Festival last month turned out to be a good success. Although the planned initial trip to Chatham Dockyard had to be postponed because of the inclement weather (this trip is now being re-arranged for the Spring of 2013), the subsequent reception at Blackburn in Lancashire, which was attended by the Mayor and Mayoress of Blackburn, proved to be a well-attended and enjoyable occasion. On the following day the wreath-laying service conducted at the grave of Admiral Viscount Nelson in St.Paul’s Cathedral was a truly memorable and inspiring event. After the actual wreath-laying ceremony itself a small party of New Britain and Swinton Circle members journeyed on to pay a visit to the near-by Hall of the Stationery and Newspaper Makers’ Livery Company, where a fascinating conducted tour of the Hall was given by Mr. Giles Fagan of the Stationers and Newspaper Maker’s Company, and the day was rounded off by a convivial get-together and meal at a adjacent hostelry.
New Britain will be attending a ceremony to commemorate Falkland Islands Battle Day at the Cenotaph in Whitehall on Saturday 8th December at 10.30 hrs, and on Saturday 26th January 2013 will be staging an event to celebrate Australia at the statue of Admiral Arthur Philip (founder and first governor of New South Wales) behind St.Paul’s Cathedral, commencing at 14.00 hrs.

RECENT NEWS FROM THE AUSTRALIAN MONARCHIST LEAGUE
We have recently received the following most encouraging news release from the Australian Monarchist League, which, although now rather dated, tells of their successful campaign to persuade the Australian Broadcasting Corporation to cover this summer’s Queen’s Jubilee Barge Procession along the Thames :-
”In a turn-a-round reminiscent of the BBC initially refusing to televise the funeral of The Queen Mother, the ABC will now be airing the Jubilee Barge procession from 10.30 pm on Sunday 3 June 2012 EST.
”Those who supported the various campaigns are to commended.
”However, the ABC should never have decided not to air the programme in the first instance.
”We are delighted to advise that Australian Monarchist League member. Owen Palmer, will be on board his former boat, the Havengore, as it takes it place in the Barge Procession carrying several members of the Royal Family. Accordingly to royal.gov.au: ‘The Duke of York, Princess Beatrice,
Princess Eugenie, The Earl and Countess of Wessex, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent will board the ship, the Havengore, at Imperial Pier.’
”We will be sending information to members and media as Owen transmits them to us.
”Let us therefore all sit back and enjoy a most spectacular event.
”With regards
”Philip Benwell, National Chair, Australian Monarchist League”

MESSAGE FROM THE SANWILD WILDLIFE SANCTUARY
We have recently received the following somewhat disturbing report from Louise Joubert of the SanWild Wildlife Sanctuary :-
“Our financial situation regarding the feeding, care and upkeep of the SanWild lion prides has reached critical proportions once again, and we are in serious financial trouble.
“Our previous mailing in which we appealed for funding to feed and care for the SanWild lion prides resulted in almost no response whatsoever. To add insult to injury the promised ‘adoptees’ for the two new lion cubs Jessie and Sassy, which were purchased by a well meaning volunteer from a breeding project in South Africa’s infamous captive lion breeding and hunting industry, never materialised, and we are now faced with the additional costs of caring for yet another two innocent lions that were in desperate need of help.
“Providing a safe sanctuary to large predators remains a daunting task simply as a result of the massive financial implications. The SanWild lions cost our small charity almost R600,000 per annum and we receive no government support. The safety of the lions depends completely on the goodwill of kind-hearted animal lovers who have helped us support the animals since their confiscation from intended illegal hunts or illegal captive breeding projects.
”We urgently call on you to help us to continue to provide a safe sanctuary for this group of very special lions by making a donation a.s.a.p., or by booking your next holiday at one of our Bush Camps. If our appeals should fail and the sanctuary be forced to close as a result of us not being able to care for the lions, the chances are pretty good that all the animals will be sold off to professional hunting outfitters or lion breeding projects that supply lions to the trophy hunting industry or for the Chinese market that use lion bones to manufacture “lion wine”. It will be a tragedy and some animals that have become dear to us all will suffer and possibly die a horrible death!
“MID YEAR ACCOMMODATION SPECIAL
”We are currently running a Mid Year Accommodation Special at both our Bush Camps and all proceeds raised on this special will be allocated towards our urgent Lion Feeding Appeal. For those of you interested and did not receive our mailings regarding this accommodation special, please email us at reservations@sanwild.org”

CHURCHILL ON ISLAM
A supporter has recently sent us extracts from a most interesting speech made by Sir Winston Churchill in 1899. It reads as follows :-
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
”A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
”Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.
”No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout

"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.
This book and others of interest can be purchased from 30 Degrees South via their web-site: www.30degreessouth.co.za

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
‘BIRDS OF A FEATHER
Sir,
Was good to see you carried my message last month in which I gave you more info’ about that nutty Marcovich character who had been causing you some trouble.
I believe in the past you’ve mentioned that you’ve also had trouble from that Lauder-Frost character. I happened to hit upon a web-site which exposed him and another extremist associate a few months back. Thought you might be interested. It can be found at :-
Yours etc.,
“Cromwell”, Devon , U.K.

SIGN OF THE TIMES
Sir,
The following excellent and challenging letter appeared in the Cape Times of June 28th :-
MR.PRESIDENT, YOU’RE IN CHARGE, NOT WHITE MEN
I note that you have once again launched an attack on White males, on the basis that the economy is still in their hands. This, you say, represents a continuation of the apartheid era, and must be changed.
I have some bad news for you. The economy isn’t in the hands of the Whites. It’s in YOUR hands. What you meant to say, of course, is that the Whites own the businesses, which is another matter entirely.
However, dispossessing the Whites of their businesses is not a solution. It can be done, but, as in the case of farms, the businesses will simply collapse if their owners do not have the qualifications and work ethic to keep them running. And then you won’t have an economy. Think about that carefully, Mr President.
You claim that the ANC has built nearly 3 million houses, but you delude yourself. You didn’t build them. WE did.
You claim to be providing grants to 15 million people, but you’re not. WE are. You are not supporting your wives and children. WE are.
You are on a hiding to nothing, Mr President. You can “redistribute” as much as you like, with or without compensation, but the smartest burglar in the land cannot get into the head of a competent person and steal his ability.
So those who you dispossess will simply start again, either here or elsewhere. And if it’s elsewhere, you won’t be able to get your hands on their money next time round.
What will you do then, Mr President, when there’s no one left to take from? Start taxing your own people? I’d love to see you try.
There is only one solution. We must educate our people – by which I mean the poor, who you say you care so much about. We must train them so that they too can succeed in the world of business.
We must address the work ethic, and get away from the absurd belief that “There shall be” something, just because the Freedom Charter and the ANC say so.
We must make it possible for people to have faith in themselves, and learn that they can create prosperity for themselves instead of forever seeking it in the form of compensation for past injustices.
I fear that, with the attitudes of you and your party, this simply isn’t going to happen. The only Black people who are going to be truly successful will be those who can free themselves from the notion that salvation lies in what you can take from somebody else.
And, of course, they will need a decent education, and they’re certainly not getting that from you.
Ron McGregor, Mowbray.
Yours etc.,
Johan Geelvink, Pretoria Transvaal .

ROGUES GALLERY
Long-standing readers will probably remember the name of “Snowy” Smith, a Durban-based Internet activist who seemed to be doing an excellent job alerting everyone to the chaos and disasters of ANC rule, and in particular to the ecological nightmare engulfing the “new” South Africa
Alas, however, about a year or so ago all that changed, and Mr Smith stopped blaming the ANC regime, the real culprits, for the destruction of civilized South Africa, but instead started blaming an entity which he simply referred to as “the Jews”. Furthermore, he started blaming “the Jews” for seemingly all and every disaster occurring anywhere in the world in a most deranged and paranoid manner. Even Islamic terrorist atrocities such as the 9/11 outrage and natural disasters such as Hurricane Sandy were blamed on “the Jews” by Mr Smith, with no form of evidence whatsoever offered for these most lunatic claims. By so doing Mr Smith has of course been insulting the memories of all the innocent victims of 9/11 and Hurricane Sandy etc in the most vile and disgusting manner imaginable.
It is uncertain therefore whether Mr Smith has experienced a complete brainstorm because of his total devastation with the ANC destruction of his country and is therefore now certifiable insane – or whether he is a conscious agent of the ANC regime whose task is to discredit authentic opposition to their misrule by floating the most ridiculous anti-Semitic allegations (and we of course remember the manner in which the sellout NP government used the pantomime AWB outfit to divide and discredit genuine resistance to their surrender plans during the 1980s). Even more concerning is the fact that in spite of repeated requests to Mr Smith to stop sending us all his offensive poison he continually refuses to do so – and even his ISPs, yahoo.com and fastmail.fm, have refused to act to prevent his unsolicited outpourings. If anyone knows how we can stop all his evil nonsense fouling our in-boxes then we would be very grateful to learn.
One thing is for certain however, and that is that Mr “Snowy” Smith should now be avoided like the plague – and if the reason for his current deranged lunacy is because of a genuine mental breakdown then to hope and pray that he somehow receives the psychiatric help which he so obviously desperately needs.
