16 June has significance for us Boers too
On 16 June 1901, British military commander Lord Kitchener told the world that Britain had spent over a year failing to defeat the Boers.
Hence he would employ a scorched earth policy against our people, which would entail the destruction of all agricultural land, the detention of all non combatants and employment of forces to criss-cross the country in an efort to finish off the Boers.
The result of this dubious strategy was precisely what the evildoer wanted.
26 000 Boer women and children perished in illegal detention because of poor care.
10 000 of their black servants died similarly.
Their farms and farmlands were reduced to smouldering ashes.
Their farm equipment looted and pillaged.
In under a year the Boer generals were forced to negotiate surrender.
Between 200 and 700 died in the 1976 Soweto uprising... they were combatant protestors actively resisting what they thought of as unjust rule...
The Boer civilians were not active combatants. They were not actively resisting anyone.
So black and liberal white South Africa can take its Youth Day celebrations and shove them.
For us Boers 16 June is a somber dark day.

Ons gedenk hierdie dag in stille ootmoed aan ons dapper Boer vrou en kinders wat deur dik en dun by hulle mans gestaan het.Groot was hulle opofferinge.Groot was hulle dade.Hulle sal vir altyd met ons wees.Slaap sag Boere helde.

"N brief van n 13 jarige dogter aan haar pa wat op St Helena n krygsgevangene was"
Geliefde vader,u vra wat ons nog oor het?"niks".Ons huis en huisraad is verbrand.Ons vee is uitgeroei.Maar niks wat van ons weggeneem is,is my kosbare hart werd nie.Vra die Heer om u hart brandend te hou en bly naby my........
(Banneling oor die oseaan)
Daar is baie vrouens in die kampe wat se, ek wil he my man moet veg tot die laaste;al is daar net twee manne oor,dan moet hy aanhou veg;as hy alleen oorbly,moet hy volhou so lank soos hy n geweer kan vashou.Dit is n bittere ding om van jou man afskeid te neem-om te weet dat hy veg;maar ek sou liewer sien dat hy dood le op die slagveld dan dat hy oorgee.........

Ek het die boek ONTHOU van Prof Raath geskenk gekry by my familie vir die 16de Junie. Vroue en kinders se leed in die ABO.
Nie ek of my kinders sal ooit vergeet nie.

And thus the term "concentration camp" was born. We hear next to nothing about the Boer concentration camps and the murder of white people, nor the forced starvation of millions of Ukrainians by Bolshevik Russia or German POW and civilians by the Allies... Only alleged Jewish suffering during World War Two matters.
Good day, South African Stormfront! I have learned by reading, reading, reading, that Jews were involved in the causes of many wars. Is that true of your Boer Wars? I mean to say, that is, were Jews instigators, financiers, influential in worsening things?
What would be the better books (and perhaps, websites) to learn of the Boer Wars? Thanks to you all.
