Rory Duncan recalls his years manhunting on behalf of the Zimbabwean and Mozambican governments with a focus on a specific, extremely remote and mountainous area - the Chimanimani complex. There, he caught many dangerous fugitives. But one in particular stands out to him, Simon Kumbi, who Rory describes as "a man adapted to his environment and so lethal at his craft that he was almost a ghost."

Later, in Zambia, Rory worked for the Office of the President, during the time that Levy Mwanawasa was president. He was tasked by the state to hunt down and capture a man called Micheal Mpofu, a wild and dangerous murderer and gangster. Rory eventually got him after a full 6 months of tracking.

I provide feedback on AfriForum's trip to Geneva, Switzerland, to attend the 16th session of the United Nations Forum on Minority Issues where I delivered a speech on the South African government's many piecs of racialist legislation, as well as incitement of violence against minorities like the "Kill the Boer" chant.

AfriForum also delivered a presentation at the headquarters of the United Nations' Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD). This was accompanied by a detailed report on the South African government’s 116+ pieces of racial legislation that AfriForum submitted to CERD as well. In 2023 it was the South African government’s turn to have its record regarding discrimination reviewed by CERD at its 111th session.

On the day Solzhenitsyn was arrested, February 12, 1974, he released the text “Live Not by Lies.” The next day, he was exiled from the Soviet Union.

In 1900 the author of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, summed up the Boer volk in two paragraphs. Here’s what he wrote…

"Take a community of Dutchmen of the type of those who defended themselves for fifty years against all the power of Spain at a time when Spain was the greatest power in the world. Intermix with them a strain of those inflexible French Huguenots who gave up home and fortune and left their country for ever at the time of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The product must obviously be one of the most rugged, virile, unconquerable nations ever seen upon earth. Take this formidable people and train them for seven generations in constant warfare against savage men and ferocious beasts, in circumstances under which no weakling could survive, place them so that they acquire exceptional skill with weapons and in horsemanship, give them a country which is eminently suited to the tactics of the huntsman, the marksman, and the rider. Then, finally, put a finer temper upon their military qualities by a dour fatalistic Old Testament religion and an ardent and consuming patriotism. Combine all these qualities and all these impulses in one individual, and you have the modern Boer—the most formidable antagonist who ever crossed the path of Imperial Britain. Our military history has largely consisted in our conflicts with France, but Napoleon and all his veterans have never treated us so roughly as these hard-bitten farmers with their ancient theology and their inconveniently modern rifles.

Look at the map of South Africa, and there, in the very centre of the British possessions, like the stone in a peach, lies the great stretch of the two republics, a mighty domain for so small a people. How came they there? Who are these Teutonic folk who have burrowed so deeply into Africa? It is a twice-told tale, and yet it must be told once again if this story is to have even the most superficial of introductions. No one can know or appreciate the Boer who does not know his past, for he is what his past has made him."

Josef Johannes (Jopie) Fourie was 'n verkenner en rapportryer tydens die Tweede Anglo-Boere oorlog. Na dié oorlog raak hy betrokke by die Burgermag en sluit in 1914 aan by die 1914 Rebellie teen eerste minister Louis Botha se besluit om Duits-Suidwes-Afrika binne te val as deel van die oorlogspoging van Brittanje en haar bondgenote teen Duitsland.

Jopie is in die omgewing van Rustenburg gevange geneem op 16 Desember 1914, het voor 'n krygshof verskyn en is op 20 Desember tereggestel. Hy is die enigste deelnemer aan dié Rebellie wat op hierdie wyse die hoogste prys betaal het. Met sy dood het hy die lofsang 'Als wij de doodsvallei betreen' gesing.

Double standards regarding the condemnation of racism has
become a serious crisis in the South African political landscape.

EndOne of the top scientists advising the South African Government says the government's phased exit from the lockdown is nonsensical and unscientific.

"We believe, as scientists, that we can give and are giving the government good advice and why they decided not to take advice or engage readily with the scientists is unknown. Why have experts if you don't really care what they think?"
