SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER
May 2017 edition
Alas the recent election results in the Netherlands and France showed that continental Europe hasn’t quite caught up with the Western patriotic revolution which took place in most English-speaking Western nations last year.
Although the results in both countries did not live up to hopes and expectations, looked at objectively they were even so quite encouraging in both places. In the Netherlands the staunchly anti-EU and anti-terrorism Party for Freedom (PVV) increased their percentage vote to 13.1% and their number of seats to 20 – an increase of 5. It must be remembered in this regard that Dutch voting patterns tend to be very traditional and special-interest based. Significantly, though, the governing secular conservative People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) had to tack considerably towards patriotic sentiments in order to withstand the PVV challenge, and although they lost 8 seats still managed to consolidate power with 33 seats. The three sectarian Christian conservative parties all polled strong enough to enable the VVD to form a working coalition with them, and in addition the estimable Party for Animals (PvdD) and the pensioners’ 50 Plus party both increased their support by 3 and 2 to 5 and 4 seats respectively. The big losers however were the two tradition parties of the Left, Labour and the Socialists, who saw their support haemorrhaging away to fringe “here-today-gone-tomorrow” immigrant-orientated Leftist parties.
In France the result of the Presidential Election was far more stark however. Marine le Pen, the candidate of the patriotic anti-EU Front National (FN), came second in the first round of voting with 21.3% of the vote – a significant increase from the 16.86% and 10.44% won by her father in 2002 and 2007 respectively, and even in comparison to the 17.9% which she herself won in 2012. An even more important comparison lies with the second round of voting however. On the only other occasion when the FN reached the second round, in 2002, they weren’t even able to increase their share of the vote by 1% (rising only from 16.86% to 17.80%), whereas this year Marine le Pen increased her share exponentially from 21.23% to 33.90%. This shows that she has successfully managed to de-toxify the party from its negative image of her father’s day and thereby was acceptable to a significant number of voters to whom she wasn’t their first choice.
With these two continental European elections out of the way all attention now therefore returns to the UK, where an epoch-marking General Election will be held on June 8th. Contrary to the predictions of the EU-sycophants, support for Brexit has undoubtedly increased greatly since last year’s referendum, as “Project Fear” has clearly been shown to be a lie. At the time of writing, with UKIP alas embroiled in internal turmoil, the increasingly anti-EU Conservative Party of Theresa May looks set to win a landslide victory. Furthermore, by its lunatic decision to elect the demented Marxist Jeremy Corbyn as leader the British Labour Party seems destined to follow its Dutch and French counterparts into oblivion. Unlike in the Netherlands and France it is not the pro-EU centrist Liberal Democrat Party which looks like gaining the benefit however, but rather even more consolidation of Conservative power.
This predicted British general election outcome will undoubtedly prove an even more dramatic hammer-blow against the German plans for European Union and the flooding of the continent with Third World migrants than even last year’s Brexit Referendum. It is only to be hoped that this time this example from Britain will encourage other European nation-states to have full confidence in their own abilities to breakaway from the German-EU yoke!

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
At the end of last month the Kent Branch of the Springbok Club staged a memorable excursion to the Medway Towns. The day started on a rather solemn note with a visit to the Woodlands Cemetery in Gillingham in order to pay respects at the grave of Lieutenant Commander Eugene Kingsmill Esmonde, VC, DSO. Lt.Cmdr. Esmonde had been buried exactly 75 years ago to the day after having been killed whilst winning the VC in resisting an earlier attempt to impose German hegemony over the continent.. At his grave Mr.Gary Vincent recited the following poem which he had specially composed for the occasion :-
TRIBUTE 75 YEARS TO THE DAY
If you are a Naval Historian like me
Many heros, that’s a wonderful possibility
To be there 75 years to the day
A Victoria Cross winner - done in the Esmonde family way
Where I travelled to be here that’s very rare
A strong coincidence synchronicity fair
To stand at the grave and recite this
My tribute that I just could not miss
You see we were left with the history you made
While you carried on your own and did not fade
Your spirit continued to much greater things
Bravest of the brave, you always had wings
The King decorated you DSO on that fateful day before
The first Royal Navy officer VC to be buried in the Second World War
My memory goes back to that black/white Pathé news bit
Of your Woodlands Cemetery salute indelible isn’t it
Buried in a grave, not lost at sea
Your mortal remains here, not Drominagh, County Tipperary
Returned from the Straits, to the Medway and Kentish soil,
Where you flew from Manston Fleet Air Arm with men so loyal
I say this in honour without saying more
Lt.Commander Eugene Kingsmill Esmonde VC, DSO, RN – I say it in awe.
Following this more serious side of the day’s activities, the Springbok Club party then journeyed on to Rochester in order to partake in the festivities of the traditional annual Rochester Sweeps Festival.
----------------------------
The Springbok Club is planning an informal event to celebrate Empire Day and Bermuda Day in London on Wednesday 24th May in conjunction with New Britain/The Swinton Circle. Members and supporters will be notified of the details once arrangements have been finalized, but if keen to attend please e-mail: springbk@netcomuk.co.uk.
----------------------------
Later during the year the Springbok Club will be staging several most interesting activities, including a meeting to be addressed by a famous wildlife conservationist, two further events featuring prominent personalities from Rhodesia’s UDI years, and a special meeting where the guest speaker will be an eminent visiting South African. Two events for later during the year have also been arranged, firstly a trip to the WWII battlefield at Arnhem in the Netherlands over the weekend of 11th/13th August, and secondly the organisation’s participation in the annual “Raising of the Flag” ceremony in Norfolk on Sunday 10th September. As it is important to finalise accommodation arrangements etc. for these two events as soon as possible we would therefore ask all supporters who are keen to attend – even if only tentatively - to let us know either by e-mailing: springbk@netcomuk.co.uk or by ‘phoning: 07711188430 as soon as they can.
------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW BRITAIN/SWINTON CIRCLE NEWS
As announced in last month’s SCN, the calling of the General Election has forced an even further delay in the official merger meeting between New Britain and the Swinton Circle, which therefore now won’t take place until late June.
In the meantime plans are afoot to launch a successor publication to S.A.Patriot-in-Exile which will support the new merged movement and which will be called The Imperial Patriot. All donations to assist in this new venture should be made payable to “Patriotic Press” and sent to: Patriotic Press, BM SAPAT, London WC1N 3XX, U.K. (If however you would prefer to make a donation via direct bank transfer please e-mail: swinton@netcomuk.co.uk and we will inform you the bank account details.)

REPORT FROM THE SANWILD WILDLIFE TRUST
We have recently received the following important report from the SanWild Wildlife Trust, and hope that supporters will be able to assist them as a result :-
“We are in the final stretch to reach our target to ensure that Nellie, a pregnant rhino poaching survivor suffering from PTSD, can be relocated to a specialist and a intensive rhino protection zone where she can give birth to her calf and raise it in the wild while being afforded 24 hours’ protection.
“This week the international community was outraged and horrified when rhino poachers executed a brutal attack on a South African rhino orphanage in KwaZulu-Natal. Two rhino calves, both poaching survivors that arrived at the centre near death, were shot and savagely attacked. The one little calf died instantly, but the other little one had it small horns hacked off while still alive and had to be put down due to severe injuries the next morning. The two little calves’ care-givers were assaulted quite badly.
“While many people expressed their shock and horror, the incident (the third on a Rhino Orphanage in South Africa) proved that the brazen attacks and arrogance of rhino poaching gangs were becoming more brutal and that the South African government continued to fail rhinos, our people, and international visitors. It also clearly illustrated that the hand rearing, rehabilitation, and subsequent release of rhinos can only be done successfully in areas with maximum security.
“In a wonderful and extraordinary show of love, understanding and support individuals continue to support the Save Nellie Campaign. However, time is running out and it is now critical that we step up our efforts to ensure that Nellie can reach an intensive protection zone as quickly as possible.
“We have raised the initial US$30 000 to pay her owner, but we are still short of US$8 464.00 to pay for the capture, translocation, insurance, habitat suitability report and short and long term veterinary fees.
“A new requirement from the conservation departments to obtain permits to capture and relocate rhinos is a habitat suitability report that costs US$3500 to complete. This field study, that is done by an environmental consultant that visits the Intensive Protection Zone to identify grass and plant species, looks at the number of other animal species in the reserves and determines what we call ‘carrying capacity’. This report is essential to determine if reserves have a suitable habitat for rhinos, is adequately fenced and to determine how many rhinos can live on a property in a free ranging situation taking into consideration territorial and feeding needs.
“Nellie’s strange behaviour and obvious stress that is not normal. The behaviour of other rhinos towards her could be the result of the impact (pain, infection etc.) of the gunshot wounds she sustained when a poaching attack on another farm survived. There will most definitely also be other stress related conditions such as gastric ulceration, loss of weight, gastric intestinal disturbance and so forth. If these conditions are not remedied a.s.a.p. they could become fatal and result in the loss of her calf. A poor physical condition can also result in a miscarriage or the birth of a weakened and compromised calf. We have, for these very reasons, requested a scan to determine how far along her pregnancy is and to establish that all is well with both mother and baby when she is darted for relocation. “

THE 2023 RUGBY WORLD CUP
In last month’s SCN we reported on how Durban had been removed from hosting the 2022 Commonwealth Games by the Commonwealth Games Federation because the city’s woeful plans and preparations had been shown to be nowhere near adequate to stage such an important global sporting event. It has therefore been with extreme astonishment that it has subsequently been reported that the “new” South Africa has been re-instated as a potential host nation to stage the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
The “new” South Africa had earlier been removed from the candidate’s list because the ANC government had refused to allow any of its sporting bodies to bid for the hosting of international competitions when the composition of their participants was considered “too White”. Rugby Union of course originally fell into this arbitrary classification of the ANC – but has now apparently been removed from their “banned” list, presumably because they “smelt” the possibility of more overseas cash coming into their “gravy train” coffers.
World Rugby must however now take heed of the findings of the Commonwealth Games Federation and remove the South African candidature to host the 2023 Rugby World Cup themselves. The “new” South Africa is a third world “basket-case” totally incapable of staging such a massive tournament – and after all who can forget the disgusting incidents of 1995 when the competition was previously held in the country when several members of the New Zealand team were deliberately poisoned prior to the final. Ireland and France are the other two candidate countries bidding to stage the 2023 tournament, and both are more than capable of hosting a successful first world event. Whichever is successful we wish them well.

GIBRALTAR – MY ROCK
A member of the Springbok Club has recently informed us about an excellent YouTube video entitled “Gibraltar – My Rock”, which tells the story of the struggle by the people of Gibraltar to maintain their freedom and British identity over the past fifty years. Of special interest to supporters will be the appearance of the late and great Solomon “Momy” Levy (see Obituary in the March 2017 SCN), and for South African viewers in particular the evil Peter Hain (together with the wretched Jack Straw) being booed and spat upon.

ZIMBABWE-RHODESIA RELIEF FUND MEETING
A supporter who attended a recent meeting staged by the renowned Zimbabwe-Rhodesia Relief Fund has forwarded us the following most informative and encouraging report about this event :-
“On 3rd May there was a meeting of the ZRRF at the East India Club in St James's Square. This was a re-arranged venue as the original venue, the House of Commons, was no longer available due the forthcoming general election. In addition to those present there were apologies and donations from many friends and supporters who could not attend.
”The Fund is endeavouring to help a school for the blind in Zimbabwe which is sorely in need of water supply and repairs. This is entirely in keeping with the aims of the Fund which is to aid those Christians in Zimbabwe - of whatever race - who have fallen on hard times and need assistance.
”Professor Ivan Reid was the guest speaker and delivered a most interesting presentation on further education in the old Nyasaland, now Malawi, which apparently is now the fourth poorest nation in the world.
”Despite the change of venue and the timing, from an evening to an afternoon event, it was a success and enjoyed by all who attended.”

“THE LUCKY BEAN TREE” by S.J.Russon
“The Lucky Bean Tree” is a story of ‘trading places’; of how the Whites, once the dominant race are now chauffeuring the Blacks, and of how the African maids have themselves become ‘madams’. Good for some, worse for others, but certainly bad for Stella. How will she cope? Will a ditzy blonde, who hasn’t lifted a finger in 19 years, manage to support an ever growing household? Not only must Stella haggle with street vendors for sugar and rice but there’s the never ending gin demand. In the big bad world of Premier Mpofu prostitutes demand payment in diesel. So it’s either ‘in bed with the regime’, or it’s imprisonment and ruinous fines, (million dollar notes have been introduced to beat 230 million % inflation). The Re-development Programme (R.D.P.) has been renamed ‘the Revenge of the Dark Persons’ because nothing is re-developed. But the worst thing about the tyranny is the way it renders the crazy, commonplace. Mozepweans have grown so used to the violence that they have forfeited the ability to become shocked. It’s just normal living.
“The Lucky Bean Tree” is on Amazon Kindle UK as an e-book. The cost is $2.99 or the equivalent in £s.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
No.222 – Mrs. PAM ROGERS of Durban.
Pam Rogers worked as a rep’ in the micro-computer industry in Durbam during the 1980s. Then a young mother, she was a charming, cheerful, and unassuming woman who was popular wherever she went – in short she was the type of decent person who made South Africa such an attractive and wonderful country during the era of civilized rule. It would be very interesting to learn what became of her and her family.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
FRIENDS TODAY, FRIENDS FOREVER
Sir,
We would like to thank you for sending us your Springbok Cyber Newsletter and I hope that we will receive further editions.
· I find it impressive that you commemorated Clive Derby-Lewis during your AGM. He never was a killer, how could he be, when he was hundreds of kilometers away from the scene of the crime.
· We are still looking for a peaceful means to solving the problems we are having in South Africa, but must say you are quite right that this is at the moment not possible. We need international help and intervention to find the right and peaceful solution.
· As you say, we were at a time excluded from all sport bodies and there is the question why is it not possible again? Especially in Soccer and all kind of sports which have quota systems in place. We were pleased from our side that we prevented Sexwale from becoming the new FIFA President.
· We are busy with the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. We laid charges against South Africa and ICC is investigating our claims.
· We are working closely with the Boere-Afrikaner Volksraad together.
· Mr. Paul Kruger has just brought out a book “Settlement of the Boer-Afrikaner People’s claim to territorial self-determination: Inviting international intervention – Memorandum by the Volksraad to the international community” which he wrote and commissioned in co-operation with the Volksraad. For more information you may contact him at paul.kruger@vvk.co.za
· Now to us; who are we? As Past President of a local Chamber of Commerce and Industry I and a couple of friends undertook the task to inform the World about the real situation in South Africa. Our plans for the future are to activate groups worldwide to organise conferences, exhibitions and other media-related action, to show the world the racial and dictatorial state in which we live under the rule of the ANC Government.
· We have already good contacts to the US Senate, US House of Representatives, the White House, Bundestag und State parliaments of Germany, the Knesset, the UN in New York, the European Parliament as well as privately interested groups.
As I am reading your newsletter I believe that we could work good together to obtain the freedom we be looking for and look forward hearing from you again.
Yours etc.,
Helmut Heymanns, Brakpan, Transvaal, South Africa.
[ Since receiving this message the Springbok Club has begun to establish close links with this organization. – Ed.]

ALL TWISTED UP
Sir,
I looked at 'The Death of Johannesburg' on YouTube and was in tears. I walked those streets, all up Twist Street and around Joubert Park, up to the Carlton Hotel and Centre. Truly shocking - but then again..........................

STORY OF AFRICA
Sir,
Corruption has become entrenched in South Africa, following the pattern of African states North of the Limpopo. Sure, there was corruption in government during the National Party era, but nowhere near as much as is now evident. I am not aware of any government minister who has been sacked or has resigned voluntarily following illegal behaviour, bad performance and/or maladministration. There are scores of government officials who have been suspended on full pay pending judicial process - some for several years. Few of those suspended have ever been charged in a court of law and punished.
Yours etc.,
Johan Geelvink, Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa

ROGUES GALLERY
It has been with great surprise and incredulity that over recent months we have heard news about the re-appearance of two trouble-makers who caused our movement severe problems in the dim distant past, namely John Hiddleston and Mark Cotterill.
John *Porky” Hiddleston was appointed the initial editor of S.A.Patriot by the White Rhino Club founding committee when they launched the magazine in 1980. An Ulsterman by birth and upbringing, Hiddleston had only been in South Africa for a couple of months when he received this appointment, which only came about because nobody on the WRC committee was in a position to accept the post because of their personal situations, and Hiddleston had moved to South Africa with a good reputation as editor of The British Ulsterman. This however quickly proved to be a very bad appointment, for within two years Hiddleston disappeared from Durban where the magazine was based after withdrawing all the funds from the publication’s bank account, and even issuing a “bouncing” cheque to its printers! (It was subsequently discovered that he had left the UK with similar unpaid bills for the printing of The British Ulsterman!). Hiddleston subsequently moved between South Africa and the UK a couple of times, engaging in several “dirty tricks” campaigns against the patriotic movement in Durban along the way, which caused many to believe that he was actually working for an anti-South African security service. He disappeared from the scene during the late 1980s however, and wasn’t heard of again until the early 2000s when he mysteriously turned up again in Ulster politics, being the official candidate for the UUP in several elections for south Belfast seats (never being successful we hasten to add!). The UUP soon dropped him however, and then a couple of years ago we learnt that he had left the party and, by-passing the DUP (which wasn’t really surprising as he was an avowed atheist), had joined the allegedly “hardline” Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV) party. Intriguingly he was presented by TUV as their candidate for the South Belfast constituency in this year’s Northern Ireland Assembly elections – though he only attracted a derisory 703 first preference votes (being eliminated at the third count!). Happily therefore the Loyalist electors of South Belfast seem to have been able to detect a “Disloyal Loyalist” when they smelt one!
Mark “Chi-Chi” Cotterill first made contact with us when we were forced to re-locate to the UK in 1990, and professed to be a fellow patriotic conservative. A seemingly affable and friendly character with boundless energy, we initially forged strong links with him and the embryonic Patriotic Forum organisation which he had founded in Devon, apparently named in honour of our own organisational wing when we were based in Durban. We were however warned from several sources to be very wary of Cotterill, not only because of his alleged Chinese ancestry (he certainly bore a strong Oriental appearance) but more particularly because he was allegedly a closet neo-fascist, rather than being a patriotic conservative as he claimed. This warning soon proved to be well-founder however, for after “inviting himself along” to a reunion held by the famous 1976 Rhodesia Tour party in north Devon during 1993 he childishly set about wrecking and sabotaging the whole event with the aid of a village-idiot-type friend, purely because - as it subsequently transpired - he had taken exception to the fact that one of our number had written an article some half-dozen years previously for someone who he had subsequently fallen out with! It turned out however that Cotterill collected enemies like other people collect postage stamps. He had libellously smeared a patriotic activist from south Devon in print after having been politely criticised by him, and as a result had had his flat trashed-up and was himself badly beaten up. He then somehow managed to flee to the United States, where he openly exposed himself as being a neo-fascist (and indeed an overtly anti-Semitic) extremist and attached himself to the “off the edge” far-Right there. After a while however – surprise, surprise – he fell out with everyone he came into contact with there, with someone evidently “shopping” him to the authorities for being in the country illegally, and was thus deported. Back in the UK he located himself in Lancashire where he tried to found his own two-men-and-a-dog party which he bizarrely called “England’s First Party”. Incredibly both he and a running mate were elected to Blackburn Council under this label, but after discovering that being a councillor involved responsibilities as well as glory he resigned his seat within 12 months of being elected! It also soon became apparent that – surprise, surprise – he had fallen out with his other “England’s First” councillor, who then went on to sit on Council representing a local residents association. This we thought would be the last that we would ever hear of the wretched Cotterill, but a few months ago we learnt that he had founded his own obscure publication which he was calling Heritage and Destiny. Now Heritage and Destiny was the name of a widely-praised conservative cultural magazine founded by the highly-respected patriotic activist Richard Lawson during the early 1980s, which we ourselves marketed through Patriotic Press in South Africa at the time. It would seem therefore that Cotterill is badly in breach of copyright in this regard, and investigations are continuing. Of greater concern, however, is the fact that we have been informed that Cottterill has run a couple of nasty smears against our movement in this broadsheet of his – in spite of the fact that it is now some 24 years since we last had any direct contact with him! Again investigations are continuing. One most dramatic incident which we have learnt about is that Cotterill has recently evidently been successfully sued for breach of copyright by another publication after printing unauthorised photographs and has been fined several thousands of Pounds as a result, and is now begging to his neo-fascist chums to pay for his stupid mistake. We would of course be very interested to learn more detailed information about this incident – and indeed about this hate-filled character’s more recent antics in general.
