Volkstaat: Former Miss World, Anneline Kriel-Bacon, petitions Pres. Ramaphosa @CyrilRamaphosa to stop WHITE GENOCIDE!
"I can't believe six years has passed, and still the revenge against farmers and brutal murders week after week. Where are President Ramaphosa and the leaders of South Africa?
I remember:
Last year on an early, cloudy, cold September morning, my friend Hermien and her son, David, and I were on our way to the Ysterberg, a mountain of white crosses near Polokwane in Limpopo province. The field was barren, the ground was dry and dusty, the dirt road was hard, rocky and difficult to drive on. Around the corner we see a beautiful green tree and in the shade of the tree, an unexpected image, a group of horses and riders in traditional clothing saddling up with multi coloured flags. What a sight - it gives me goose bumps to think back to that moment. We, in a 4 X 4 van, and a fleet of cars and motorcycles, continued to struggle over the rocks and across the unforgiving landscape. There is a reverent silence in the car. In my heart, I know today is a day like no other! My heart feels heavy.
I don't know what to expect, from the main road I used to see the crosses in the distance but now, now, I'm here! The shocking image stared me in the face: thousands of white crosses stretched across the whole mountain in the shape of a large cross with a few crosses that had broken away from the shape, they stood here and there alone, as if trying to escape from this horror. It feels as if the blood is draining from my body, and I feel light-headed and small. The White Cross Monument is a sacred place that commands humility at the feet of the men, women, and children who were murdered in the cruellest manner imaginable by blacks who lost all humanity and became monsters.
Reverently, I walk slowly to the crosses. The mood is somber and I see so many broken people gathering near the crosses, some sitting still, bewildered, others holding each other in comfort. I feel I cannot turn my back on the crosses it will be disrespectful to so many innocent farmers and their families, because each cross represents a needless killing of a human being with feelings and dreams for a better future for themselves and their offspring.
A thought flashes through my mind: Our farmers and their loved ones do not deserve to die like this, and they do not deserve to live in fear every day of their lives.
Where Will Our Help Come From?
The day's program began with humble pleas for the Lord's help, with song and speeches of hope for the proud Afrikaner people at the tip of Africa.
I am fighting against the cold wind that is blowing and the deep feeling that the future in Africa is slipping away for us and our children. To what end? South Africa is then our country.
It's time to and plant crosses for newly slain farmers. Family members who have lost loved ones are standing at the foot of the mountain covered in crosses. The tears flow freely, and I hear the heart-breaking sobs from the next of kin of murdered fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters. Their names are read out respectfully, the date when they were killed, their age, and how they came to the horrible and cruel end of their lives, sometimes being tortured to death.
I present a white heavy iron cross to be planted for “Papa Kallie” to his young innocent son and daughter and then a cross to the young family including three children of Janus Boeta Powell, he was only 37 years old. Another cross to the family of grandma and grandpa Colin and Fanie who were in their 70s when they were both slain....
I ask President Ramaphosa to make farm murders a serious crime and to gag politicians that entice violence against farmers and farm workers.
