Welkome terugslag vir hoof-Tshwene

Hoofman “Tshwene”

Welgedaan aan die VF+ en Afriforum wat daarin geslaag het om die Afro-fasciste van die Pretoriase stadsraad tydelik te stuit om Pretoria se naamborde te vervang met naamborde wat na ’n imaginêre stamhoof, ene Tshwane – iemand wat nooit bestaan het nie – verwys. Min Afrikaners is egter so naïef om ons te verbeel dat hierdie oorwinning enigsins meer is as ’n tydelike uitstel van die onvermydelike.

Te oordeel aan die uitsprake van die persoon in beheer van die stadsraad, burgemeesteres (of is dit hoof-Tshwene?) Gwen Ramokgopa, gáán die ANC egter sy kultuurmoord op Afrikaners pleeg, bloot omdat hy kan. Pretoria gaan uiteindelik Tshwane word. So ook gaan Louis Trichardt en Potchefstroom se name verander. Wat staan ons te doen, gegewe bogenoemde realiteite?

The RNA revolution

Nature is full of surprises. When atoms were first proved to exist (and that was a mere century ago), they were thought to be made only of electrons and protons. That explained a lot, but it did not quite square with other observations. Then, in 1932, James Chadwick discovered the neutron. Suddenly everything made sense—so

Pro-Pretoria-groepe wen in hof

‘Gaan terug Europa toe!’

Die dringende hofaansoek wat vanmôre deur verskillende Pro-Pretoriagroepe, onder andere die Vryheidsfront Plus in die Pretoriase Hooggeregshof gebring is, het geslaag en die stadsraad mag geen verdere naamborde verander totdat uitsluitsel in die naamstryd verkry is nie.

Die verrigtinge vooraf is gekenmerk deur spanning tussen pro- en anti-Pretoriabetogers. Terwyl die anti-Pretoria-faksie getoitoi het en liedjies soos "Ons gaan Tshwane toe" gesing het, het die ander groep spontaan Die Stem en Die Lied van Jong Suid-Afrika begin sing.

Let?s Not Cower From The Hard Truth About Race And IQ

The debate over racial differences in IQ represents perhaps the greatest scientific controversy of the past half-century. The facts are not in serious dispute: blacks score, on average, significantly lower than whites in IQ tests in the United States, Britain and beyond. Some argue that the only plausible response is to accept that blacks are

Sarkozy wants SA in G8

A proposal by France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy that South Africa and four other emerging economies be included in the influential Group of Eight (G8) has met with mixed response from local commentators. Goolam Ballim, the group economist at Standard Bank, said the inclusion would be a constructive gesture. "There is increasing recognition that, in their

No whites allowed

A parent has objected to the "no whites" entry requirement for an accountancy Olympiad. The parent, Rhett Kahn, whose daughter attends Welkom High School, said he couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw a notice for entry to the Olympiad which stated: "No white students are allowed to enter." Kahn said he was outraged that

Sweedse Kuifie bly

Kuifie bestuur

Die owerhede in Swede het ‘n klag van ‘n Sweedse burger wat in die Kongo gebore is om "Kuifie in die Kongo" te verbied, van die hand gewys. Jean-Dadou Monya, wat sedert 1992 in Swede woon, het verlede Donderdag die Sweedse uitgewer, Bonnier Carlsen, voor die hof gedaag om te eis dat die verkope van die strokiesverhaal gestaak word en dat dit uit biblioteke verwyder word.

Monya (42) het aan die media gesê dat hy per pos laat weet is dat die uitgewer nie vervolg sal word nie. Die besluit is glo op ‘n tegniese punt geneem en die hof het geen dieper gronde daarvoor gegee nie. "Ek het dit verwag, vir my was die belangrikste om die rassistiese trekke van die strokie uit te wys wat geen plek het in die 21ste eeu nie," was die klaer se reaksie.

New Anti-Slavery Law Not Enough

The Mauritanian government must take additional measures to ensure a new law criminalizing slavery has an effect, human rights activists say. "The new law is a very positive first step. It is only a first step though," said Romana Cacchioli, Africa Programme Coordinator for the British non-governmental pressure group, Anti-Slavery International. "We don’t eradicate slavery

Duitsers sak op nog immigrante toe

Magdeburgse domkerk

‘n Irakese immigrant wat Saterdagaand by ‘n bushalte in Magdeburg in die ooste van Duitsland gestaan en wag het, is deur ‘n onbekende aangerand. Dié voorval kom slegs ‘n week nadat ‘n soortgelyke insident in Mügeln plaasgevind het en politici die toename in "vreemdelinghaat" sterk veroordeel het. In ‘n ander voorval in Guntersblum naby Mainz is ‘n Egiptenaar en Soedanees aangeval.

Sexual harassment in Kenya

A troop of vervet monkeys is giving Kenyan villagers long days and sleepless nights, destroying crops and causing a food crisis. Earlier this month, local MP Paul Muite urged the Kenyan Wildlife Service to help contain their aggressive behaviour. But Mr Muite caused laughter when he told parliament that the monkeys had taken to harassing
