I would like to express my opinion of the absurd
notion of creating a Volkstaat. The idea alone is demented, a Volkstaat will
not
only segregate the people of South Africa even more, but will also furnish
the minority in this country with a psychological advantage
of which they will
make complete utilisation.
Why award a Volkstaat to the Afrikaners of
South Africa? if this is done we will be crushing the prospect and ideology of
democracy
in this country, which until now has been the light at the end of a
very dark tunnel.
Watching Future Imperfect recently, a key issue of
discussion was "self-determination", which is a basic and essential human right.
However, “self-determination" was never granted to the oppressed
black
population of this country, they were forced to live, work, eat,
drink and relieve themselves where the white man wanted them to.
This was
all forgotten when Apartheid died, yet the blacks in this country are Willing to
share the land with the whites, in spite
of the past. I think the Afrikaners
have no say whatsoever, they now, as the blacks did, must live where we want
them to.
