The Sky Over South Africa is Dark with Gathering Vultures

My wife and I watched as huge, ominous vultures circled overhead while elephants, giraffes, hippopotami, and water buffalos struggled for life as they grazed along the bank of the Zambezi River in Zambia. Southern African nations were experiencing a major drought reflected in the grazing animals along the river. Their ribs could be easily seen as they struggled to find enough food to keep them alive. The circling vultures were waiting to do what vultures do: devour the dead. Even I, always more concerned with people than with animals, was emotionally affected as we pitied the plight of the desperately hungry beasts on the banks of the Zambezi. 

South Africa is about to be devoured by human vultures. The nation is dying or more precisely, it is being killed by its own leaders who will pick it to pieces like a flock of disgusting scavengers.

But the U.S. media is silent and less so in the United Kingdom. Maybe, just maybe, if the revolting affair is ignored, the vultures will go fly back to wherever vultures nest.

The mainstream press in the U.S. is once again silent after major politician Velaphi Khumalo, declared, “I want to cleanse this country of all white people…They deserved to be hacked and killed. You must be skinned alive and your children used as fertilizer.” The African National Congress (ANC) party member and government official was forced to apologize and pay a fine for his incendiary threat. He was suspended with full salary but is now back to work - a paid vacation. This case has been a major issue for about two years in South Africa but U.S. media seem to be so busy with a possible “Russian collusion” that they don’t have enough ink or media time to deal with the death of South Africa.

The U.S. media has also been silent about the president of a South African political party who called for the deaths of all white South Africans. Andile Mngxitama is the president of South Africa’s socialist Black First Land First Party (BFL) and it is shocking that he is not in the hoosegow. He yelled, “You kill one of us, we kill five white people,” at a Saturday rally where he called for revolution. “We kill their children, we kill their women, we kill their dogs, we kill their cats, we kill anything we find in our way.”

Andile is a real sweetheart.

Another BFL official, Lindsay Maasdorp, stated his views reflecting his party’s belief that all white South Africans are criminals by virtue of their existence.

Why would anyone think South Africa is on a suicidal road to destruction?

The sky is dark over South Africa as vultures, buzzards, and other birds of prey are gathering for a feast.

In a social media post, Mampuru Mampuru, a member of the South African Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, called for white genocide in his country. Mampuru wrote, “We need to unite as black people, there are less than 5 millions [sic] white in South Africa vs 45 million of us. We can kill all this white within two weeks. We have the army and the police. If those who are killing farmers can do it what are you waiting for? Shoot the boer, kill the farmer.” ("Boer" is the name commonly used for white South Africans, many of whom are descendants of families that have lived there for hundreds of years.)

Here was another public call to kill all white South Africans and the media is silent.

He also said, “Who is the devil? A white man is the devil.” Again, he wrote, “It’s time our people organize n kill wives, sons n daughters of any white USA police officer.” Showing his twisted knowledge of history, he wrote, “Never shall we forget how white people took our land away from our great grandfather’s. When time is right we will implement ‘Dubull_bhunu.’ [shoot, shoot] All white are evil.”

Such irresponsible racism was only encouraged when they heard their President Jacob Zuma singing the genocide song himself, leading a crowd in a musical chant, “We are going to shoot them with machine guns, they are going to run...The cabinet will shoot them, with the machine gun...Shoot the Boer, we are going to hit them, they are going to run.” The high court has declared the song a hate crime (oh, really) but it is impossible to charge thousands of people who sing it at political rallies, especially when the song leader is the president.

Deputy Minister of Higher Education Mduduzi Manana, a member of the ruling African National Congress, declared on the floor of Parliament during a discussion of the killing of white farmers, “Bury them alive.”

Black thugs are listening and following their orders.

“My grandfather says a good farmer is a dead farmer,” declared Jason Mfusi the leader of the South African Students Congress of the North-West University. The Times of London reported in 2014 that four thousand white farmers have already been killed, and five are being killed each week.

Mseleni Mogolwane Gwabeni, who is a member of police force in Port Elizabeth, declared, “Then we must continue to kill more of their farmers at least to make up for what they did to us.” Policeman Chris Gumotso, who works at the South African Police Service youth crime prevention desk placed the following on Facebook: “All white man…deserve to die…in future..f*©k u..Mr white man.”

The sky gets darker every day.

Julius Malema, Member of Parliament and leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) commented, "The time for reconciliation is over. Now is the time for justice. We must ensure that we restore the dignity of our people without compensating the criminals who stole our land." He told his supporters he was “not calling for the slaughter of white people - at least for now.”

On Nov. 26, 2018, Malema “launched a brazen attack on ANC leaders (who had expelled him from the ANC), referring to them as “baboons.” Well, they may be thugs, thieves, and tyrants but they are not baboons. However, when you watch the televised sessions of their parliament and watch the fistfights and chaos on the floor, you might agree that even baboons don’t act that way.

The nation’s first black president, Nelson Mandela, promised jobs and homes but he and his successors failed to keep the promise. Millions of poor blacks have stood in line for years waiting for homes that cannot be produced. They are tired of waiting, and hunger and fear make their frustrations turn to dangerous anger.

What is usually overlooked by the media is that there are about half a million white South Africans living in abject poverty along with millions of black South Africans. Now that the nation has been “liberated,” the black South Africans have priority over white South Africans. Blacks don’t envy starving whites, but they cast lustful eyes toward white farmers. I have seen posters warning white land owners, “Everything you have is ours. We’re coming for it.”

Every problem of black South Africans is blamed on apartheid; however, honest blacks know this is not true. Even The New York Times did an article recently stating, “The African National Congress, always a Communist political party, has controlled South Africa since the ascension of Mandela in 1994.” The ANC is run by thugs, thieves, and tyrants, but internecine fighting has erupted into one faction putting murder contracts on others. The thieves are killing each other.

Since the once-prosperous nation is swiftly moving into chaos, the now black-controlled government recently voted overwhelmingly to take land owned by white South Africans without compensation and give it to black South Africans. In polite circles, that is known as thievery - but now it is legal thievery. 

White farmers in South Africa go back to the 1600's when their ancestors drained the swamps, leveled the jungle, dispensed with malaria and other diseases, and built roads, railroads, homes, hospitals, airports, schools, and modern infrastructure, making South Africa a great nation.

On March 23, 2018, the Daily Mail reported that white farmers in South Africa “have the most dangerous job in the country, are twice as likely to be murdered as police, and are killed at four times the rate of the wider community, a rights group claims… Some of the killings are reported to have been barbaric, with farm owners tortured, raped, burned alive and slaughtered in front of their families.”

The conditions are ripe for revolution as millions of black and white South Africans are hungry, out of work, and living in shanties. They watch as ANC leaders live behind gates in plush mansions and drive around in expensive Mercedes from which they dispense fistfuls of money out of their trunks to their low-level thugs. 

It is one thing to browbeat and dismiss even half a million starving white South Africans but it is another thing to take land from white farmers and do so without compensation. These farmers are well armed and will fight. Gangs of black thugs have attacked hundreds of white farms. The farmers are taking measures to resist the “legal” taking of their land. They have organized, strategized, and regularly practice weapon handling.

They have vowed not to go quietly into the dark night.

The sky over South Africa is dark with birds of prey - waiting - more aware than the U.S., England, and the United Nations that weeks of feasting on the decaying flesh of hundreds of thousands of South Africans is imminent - both black and white. 


Editor's Note: Not all black nor all white South Africans are racist or participate in the racial violence and disharmony in that country. There is indeed much trouble in this country which deserves our thoughts and prayers for peaceful resolution.

A white friend who lived  and worked in South Africa for many years had this comment: "It should be noted that not all black South Africans are bad people, and not all agree with the government. Many are wonderful, kind people. I have many black South African Christian friends like that. The nation of South Africa, however, is cursed with many corrupt leaders and this is the result." He emphasized in his email that many people try to create further division by referring to citizens of the nation as Blacks or Whites. But all are South Africans, regardless of their skin color.
