Naspers vra om verskoning vir apartheid

Written by

,

Media24 se uitvoerende hoof, Esmaré Weideman het om verskoning gevra vir die rol wat Naspers gespeel het tydens apartheid.

By die eeufeesviering van Naspers en Die Burger in Kaapstad, het Weideman medepligtigheid aan ‘n moreel onverdedigbare politieke regime erken asook die kwetsende manier waarop dit in nuuskantore en raadsale uitgespeel het.
 
Sy het gesê daar is terugskouend baie om op trots te wees, maar ook baie om ‘n mens se kop in skaamte te laat hang en daarvoor ‘n formele verskoning aangebied.
 
Toe apartheid afgeskaf is, het die Afrikaanse pers geweier om ‘n voorlegging aan die Waarheid-en-Versoeningskommissie te maak.
 
Meer as 100 Afrikaanssprekende joernaliste het egter later aan die WVK beëdigde verklarings in hul individuele hoedanigheid voorgelê.

    Naspers het klaarblyklik geen begeerte om bloedrooi kommunistiese China te ontgroei nie, hulle het skaamteloos saam met die Anglo-Joodse geldmag van die ou melkkoei (die Afrikanervolk) na ‘n nuwe een (Rooi Chinese), verander: “Well, you might ask, is a bit of censorship (in China), the worst thing in the world? After all, the combined intellectual clout you see in the comments section of the average online news article is somewhere between pancake and Dan Roodt.

    “But it’s far more sinister than that.

    “Hundreds are languishing in jail because of their online activity – including 2010 Nobel peace prize winner Liu Xiaobo, serving an 11-year sentence for “inciting subversion of state power” for what he wrote.

    “Dissident Li Qidong was one of those “hospitalised” by police in 2009 in “forced psychiatric detention”. Nobody has heard from him since.

    “And it’s getting worse. In August, President Xi Jinping said that the internet ‘has become the main battlefield for public opinion struggle’.

    “For Naspers, it would just be careless to end up on the wrong side of history yet again.

    “Famously, Naspers refused to make a submission to South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), instead providing a book of its history called Oor Grense Heen.

    “Rather oddly, the TRC final report says: ‘The book repeatedly confirms that the various newspapers in the group were always pro-National Party government institutions.’

    “As Max du Preez, former Vrye Weekblad editor, wrote: ‘They can protest as much as they want, but one truth remains: until the last few months of PW Botha’s term as president, Afrikaans newspapers never opposed the NP or their security forces on any important issue.’

    “Of course, Naspers investors aren’t likely to worry how much of their profit is thanks to a regime that holds democracy in the same high regard as Steve Hofmeyr holds puppets.

    “Perhaps that’s fine. But they shouldn’t kid themselves that no one is losing out from this arrangement.”

    Hierdie is lagwekkend. Besef hulle dan nie dat Naspers sy bestaan aan apartheid te danke het nie, en dat die apartheidsregime bestaansteg aan Naspers gegee het en dat Naspers ‘n produk van Afrikanernasionalisme is? Trouens het dr. DF Malan Naspers gestig met die doel om segregasie te inspireer en Afrikaans te bevorder. Niks om oor jammer te sê nie – as julle skaam is, maak julle deure toe en stig ‘n nuwe pers wat nie gebaat het by dieselfde regime waarvoor julle “om verskoning” vra nie.

    Hoe is Weideman se verskoning aan die feesvierders voorgelê? Het die verskoning sy weg langs ‘n direksievergadering gevind? Is dit genotuleer? Was dit op ‘n/die agenda? Volledig uitgestippel in ‘n beskrywingspunt? Is daar bloot hande opgesteek? Is dit eenparig aanvaar? Was daar ‘n teenvoorstel/le? Was daar enige wysigings aan so ‘n moontlike oorspronklike voorlegging aan die/’n vergadering? Is die ondersteuners by hul name genotuleer? Is diegene wat moontlik daarteen gestem het, se name genotuleer? Waar pas die volgende artikel deur Leopold Scholtz enkele dae gelede in by die Weideman-verskoning: http://www.netwerk24.com/stemme/2015-07-19-vir-volk-en-vaderland-ja-skoothonde-nee. Was dit bloot ‘n wegbereider vir die Weideman-set?

    Is daar inderdaad ‘n lys name, amptelik of nie-amtelik, beskikbaar van ondertekenaars van so ‘n geskrif of was Weideman se verskoning sommer ‘n haelgeweerding? Sal die verskoners die moed van hul oortuiging hê om byvoorbeeld soos met die destydse berugte Ope Brief van NG predikante en teoloë teen afonderlike ontwikkeling hul name te laat publiseer, kom ons skryf maar op die voorblad van Die Burger, Beeld, Rapport, Volksblad en watter ander klatte Naspers ook al uitgee?

    Max du Preez munt nie uit aan die regterkant of selfs in die middel van die politieke spektrum nie. Wie sou kon dink dat ‘n oud-redakteur van Die Burger uit die vorige eeu, WD (Wiets) Beukes, linkser as Du Preez kon word. Du Preez het op 18 deser in sy rubriek in Die Burger soos gebruiklik nie danig oorspronklik gewees nie. Hy het te kenne gegee dat Mandela mense wat hy wou beinvloed met sy sogenaamde sjarme spesiaal laat voel het. Du Preez het dit politieke truuks genoem, wat Beukes gelyk aan foefies gestel het (Die Burger, 23 deser, p 15). Beukes is verontwaardig omdat dit impliseer dat “die grootste ikoon van ons tyd” mense met “skynheilige” truuks om die bos gelei het. Dit doen glo groot skade aan Mandela se integriteit. Vir Beukes is dit ‘n prestige saak dat Mandela Die Burger gelees het. Mandela “het oorgeloop van waardering vir die bydraes van Die Burger.” Dit is seker iets wat deesdae as ‘n positiewe aanbeveling beskou word.

    Wanneer is ‘n regime nou juis moreel regverdigbaar? Is die huidige regime moreel regverdigbaar? Korrupsie, rassediskriminasie van die grofste aard, selfverryking, veronagsaaming van die regbank (Omar Al-Bachir) wanbestuur en wanbesteding van belastingbetalers se geld, nepotisme, raamwerk vir duisende moorde en aanvalle op onskuldige mense. Moreel? Me. Weideman moet liewer verskoning vra vir die snert wat sy kwytraak.

    Eers het hulle alie gekruip by die “Apartheidsregime” en nou kruip hulle weer alie by die ANC. Die Naspers is ‘n boel manteldraaiers en opportuniste wat in die eerste plek omsien na hulle bankrekenings en verder geen beginsels of oortuigings het nie, behalwe dié beginsels wat hulle finanisiële belange dien, of dan, die finansiële belange van hulle hanteerdes..

    Manteldraaiers par excellance – hierdie mense het geen lojaliteit nie. Hulle gaan net waar hulle die meeste geld kan maak. Verder was hulle instrumenteel in die hele oorhandiging aan die ANC. Ek hoop die ANC ploeg hulle onder. Hulle is nou net besig om te kruip – dalk omdat hulle lesersgetalle sodanig geval het??? Hierdie is nou nog ‘n rede om nie hulle drogpublikasies te lees nie.

    Apartheid is ‘n heilige begrip… Dis soos die dag toe Moses na Farao toe gestap het… Toe hy Farao gevra het dat sy volk wil trek… Soos in: my Boerevolk sál trek!

    Verdomp – julle malende, bulderende politikusse! Hoe lank nog – voordat julle bulkende breine sal besef dat mens nie (eers) ‘n basiese vuurpyl kan bou wat slegs met houtskool – sonde swael en salpeter kan opstyg nie

    Mens besef net al hoe meer dat volkere se lot aan DOM dwase oorgelaat word…

    Waarom?

    Hoe is dit dat ons op mars kan land en inteendeel daarmee – nie ‘n eenvoudige, aparte en suksesvolle pad vir ‘n volslae barbaar kan uitwerk nie? Dat hulle soos vee – in vrede en gelukkig op hul eie kan wei nie? Soos lank vantevore nie?

    Hoe lank nog sal die oorgrote spul mense glo dat wurms knaklose rûe van suiwer staal het…?

      “Naspers het Jan Venter van Bfn Volksblad – [die bron van die Reitz skandaal deur redakteur Jonathan Crouwther ] gekry om hul anti-christelike polemiek drywery voort te sit in die plek van mal Matt Heyns oa.”

      Naspers het ook Piet Muller, ‘n groot dryfkrag agter die sogenaamde Nuwe Hervorming, en George Claassen (dosent aan die US en kritikus van die Christelike skeppingsleer – ek volg glad nie sy en ander soos hy se debatte nie en kan dit moontlik sterker stel), gelewer.

        Piet Muller was ook ‘n ander baanbreker: 25–28 November 1984 H.W. van der Merwe and Piet Muller (Deputy Editor, Die Beeld) met with the ANC (Sipho Makana, Thabo Mbeki, Alfred Nzo), in Lusaka. (AduT, HG)

        H.W. van der Merwe and Muller each published articles on this meeting in the summer 1985 issue of Die Suid-Afrikaan (H.W. van der Merwe “Skadubeeld van Afrikaner-nasionalisme” p. 20–1). Muller also published two articles based on an interview with Thabo Mbeki in Beeld.

    Nog ‘n kommentator vanoggend: The actual line from Shakespeare’s Macbeth is double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn, and cauldron bubble but for the purposes of analyzing what happens when authorities prop up market bubbles by directly buying assets, bubble, bubble, toil and trouble is also appropriate. (Charles Hugh Smith)

    China’s authorities seem to have chanted Shakespeare’s magical incantation nonstop this year, as the Shenzhen and other Chinese stock market indices have more than doubled.

      jan, die oorlog wat hulle teen ons beplan gaan ons redder wees……. mits ons wakker slaap

      About one year ago I met a man called
      Alex Shostakovich who escaped from Yugoslavia almost four decades ago, and
      ended up coming to SA with the assistance of – if I recall correctly – NATO. He
      is a Croat. To cut a long story short, one day during a drive to Park Station
      to collect some freight he told me “Frederick, the way things evolved
      towards civil war in Yugoslavia is exactly how they are evolving in SA. Of
      course, I wasn’t in Yugoslavia at the time but I watched everything from here,
      and my family told me whatever I couldn’t find in the newspapers in
      Johannesburg. The same recrimination by dominant towards weaker; the same
      attempt to use the law to take away their property; the same dispute in the
      newspapers over who is good and who is bad; we’ve got it all here now in South
      Africa and it is becoming more, not less”. Needless to say, I was
      astonished at the idea of a reliable pattern. In fact, I was more than
      astonished, I was sceptical – not at the idea of civil fragility and menacing
      antagonism in this country, but at the possibility that it is predictable in
      that way.

      Some months ago I repeated that story to
      the Croat husband of a friend of mine in Craighall Park, a highly-intelligent and
      successful man who came to SA after the
      Yugoslav civil war and he replied “No, Frederick, not exactly the same;
      EGG-ZETLY the same, no diff-a-rence!” in his loud and broad Slavic
      accent. He then proceeded to describe eloquently how he does not mention this
      to South Africans because people don’t believe him and because they sometimes
      give him the impression that they feel that he doesn’t have a right – as
      Johnny-Come-Lately – to speak as if he

    En nou, Naspers, Koos Bekker?

    Moneyweb-berig: Koos Bekker sells 70% of his Naspers N shares Remains a top 15 shareholder.

    Ryk van Niekerk | 17 September 2015 18:46

    Koos Bekker, billionaire and chairman of Naspers Ltd., reacts during an interview at his office in Cape Town, South Africa, on Thursday, May 7, 2015. South Africa lacks a coherent economic policy and government departments are failing to work together, said Bekker, chairman of Africa’s biggest company. Photographer: Halden Krog/Bloomberg *** Local Caption *** Koos Bekker Koos Bekker, chairman of Naspers

    Naspers chairman Koos Bekker sold nearly 11.7 million Naspers N shares recently, reducing his interest in the international media giant by more than 70%.

    Bekker retired as the CEO of Naspers in March last year, and took the reins as chairperson from Ton Vosloo in April this year.

    During his tenure as CEO, Naspers underwent a full transformation, growing from a very South African and print focused media company with a market cap of R5.6bn, to an international media goliath valued at more than R700bn.

    Bekker benefitted immensely from this growth as he was paid via a share option scheme rather than a cash remuneration package. He never took a salary, having opted for this scheme from the start of his tenure as CEO in 1997. This remuneration structure saw him become one of the wealthiest entrepreneurs the country has ever produced.

    Forbes recently measured his wealth at $2.2bn, which made him the fourth richest person in South Africa.

    Direct beneficial shares

    The 2015 annual report shows that on 31 March 2015, Bekker held 4 688 691 indirect beneficial shares. In the 2014 annual report Bekker’s interest in Naspers N shares totalled 16 376 499 shares, of which 11 687 808 shares were held in a direct beneficial and 4 688 691 in an indirect beneficial capacity.

    This means that Bekker sold the 11 687 808 shares between April last year and March this year. This transaction was not published on SENS, as Bekker was not on the board.

    Naspers spokesperson Meloy Horn confirmed the sale and said the options vested over a period of five years. “After Bekker retired as CEO last year, he exercised the options and sold the shares. The net return was the difference in the selling price and the strike price of the options, after he paid the full marginal tax rate on the profits.”

    Horn said Naspers complied with all regulations relating to the disclosure of the sale of shares.

    Horn was not able to provide specific detail on what prices were realised on the sale of the shares and referred Moneyweb to Bekker directly. On Wednesday Moneyweb emailed questions to Bekker, but has not yet received a response. Such a response will be published when it is received.

    Big payday

    According to the 2014 annual report, the 11 687 808 million options were allotted at a combined strike price of just over R2bn. Bekker sold the shares in a period where the Naspers price fluctuated between R992 and R1870 a share, meaning that Bekker sold the shares for anything between R11.5bn and R21.8bn.

    Horn added that Bekker still owns 4.7 million indirect beneficial shares, which are held in a trust. “This still makes him a top 15 shareholder in the group,” she said.

    This is not the first time Bekker has sold Naspers shares he earned through the share option scheme. He also sold 3 354 420 shares between April 2007 and March 2008, the year he resigned from the Naspers board to take a sabbatical. This transaction was also not published on SENS, as Bekker was not on the board. http://www.moneyweb.co.za/news/companies-and-deals/koos-bekker-sells-70-of-his-naspers-interest/

      As mens die mynbou industrie van SA vergelyk met die Afrikaanse Taal industrie mbt die voordele en nadele wat mynbou tot gevolg gehad het vir die Afrikaners dan is dit om van naar te word.
      Die ABO gewapende roof en volksmoord is absoluut niks in vergelyking met die totale verwoesting wat Naspers aan sy eie mense gedoen het nie.
      Dit is die toksieste bate denkbaar ooit. Dit het soos ‘n kernbom in ons gesigte ontplof.
      Die Taal-industrie van Naspers het ook die land en Afrikaans meer besoedel en onbruikbaar gemaak as kernafval en chemiese afval.
      Die ergste wapen van massa vernietiging denkbaar.

      Maar Koos en Naspers kan steeds van die skatte gebruik maak om sy eie volk te red en rehabiliteer. – Om terug te ploeg wat gesteel is soos wat die myne gedoen het met ‘n groot winsmarge.

      Maar hy sal dit nie doen nie. Vergeet dit.

      Hy sal soos Judas die verraaiersloon weggooi en daarmee sal die doodsakker vir vreemdelinge Volk gekoop word nadat hy getuig het van ons onskuld en dan sal hy selfmoord pleeg.
