IS OUR LAND IN CRISIS?

IS OUR LAND IN CRISIS?

Is our Land in Crisis?

Die Coat of Arms se wie se land die is.

But, with the land in the hand, of the man with rand, sal ons ooit “Land” kan sien?
Ons voor ouers was eerste hier gewees, die plek, hier onder by die Afrika tip was altyd ons “Joint” gewees.

With a novel shared directive and a striking charm upon the vastness of this land.

With the reckless and careless extraction of our mineral wealth, and we as a nation relegated to the margins and sides as mere on-lookers, what are the implications of our economic trajectory?

Elke dag stuur hulle iron ore, diamante, goud en platinum na die uit hoeke van die aarde, ma ons, ja ons sien en kry niks nie.

You continue to steal our assets.  

Nou is daar ewe skielik vyf Khoi en San groepe. Maar hoe het ons dan vyf geword?
Verstaan julle nie dat solank hulle julle vyf groepe maak, sal ons nooit n regte deal kan “Cut” nie.

This rift and rule bring divide and bull.


Where do we stand as the first people of the southern slope of this exquisite continent?

Ou Mandela en die current government weet almal wat die waarheid is, ma niemand breek n tak nie, even though our origin is clear for all to see, we are still made coloureds.
Technically, we are black, Practically we’re not.

Tjy sien, coloureds hettie grond nie, hulle het nie taal nie, so het hulle ook nie kultuur nie.
Wa staan ons die eerste nasie van die “Dla?”

Ons ancestors, onse bloed was ook coconspirator in die freedom fighting van die land.

Ons ancestors was die eerste resistence army gewees, dis waar ja!

Nou kom ek se gou, dat on the 4^th & 22^nd November 1497 het die Khoikhoi by daai plek wat nou St.Helena Bay & Mossel Bay is, oorlog gevoer met die Portuguese Vasco Da Gama because hulle wou fresh water without asking the Chief’s permission vat, Da Gama was wounded in the thigh with a spear.

Ons groot leier, Khoikhoi Chief Autshumayo fought the first battles of the illegal land seizure by Capitalist Globalization DEIC (Dutch East India Company) agent Jan Van Riebeeck in 1659.
