An excellent perspective on a piece of neglected history that shaped the character of the Afrikaner. Ernst plays a critical role in restoring self-worth to our youth, and they are already successfully facing the challenges of our time.
United we stand. Thank you so much for this post. I lived your speech, am an Afrikaner woman of 67 and I recall the nonstop community activities through most of my childhood, always with an end in mind... building the school, church, municipal buildings and parks and the list goes on. We were a true community and were not exclusive and arrogant then... and the country flourished.
Thank you, Ernst. Your speech was incredible. Welcome back. I'm an eldery woman now, but remember my dad telling me about the horrible conditions in the concentration camps and the Helpmekaar (Help each other) movement. I am also very proud, albeit it small member of '" ons sal self" Salutes 🫡
Dankie dr Roets u uiteensetting van ons as Afrikaner Volk en ons trotse geskiedenis het aanklank gevind. Ons het niks om oor skaam te wees nie met of sonder ons foute watter volk is nie foutloos nie? Die feit bly staan gaan le sal ons nooit opstaan opsaal en vooretoe sal ons self want ons kan met vertroue in ons geloof en dank aan God ons hemelse Vader.
My god this man is describing what is happening in our western countries as we speak. Excuse my pessimism but I really believe that it is too late, the rot is too deep. Coming back to our grassroots is what is needed, sometimes you need to step back to see the path clearly. The western people are in a fight for our lives and we need to be resilient, resourceful, innovative and above else united. And never again should we let ourselves be brainwashed as thoroughly as we have. THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATIONAL SPEECH!
Well done Ernst Roets! My oë gevul met trane en my hart dankbaar... hoe dan anders? 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 .... We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. Seëninge op alles wat julle doen.... vir ons Afrikaners🕯🕯🕯➕
An absolutely brilliant speech ... and very accurate, facing many home truths with courage ... and that is why the Ernst and co can move forward with optimism and confidence.
The government is not your mommy or daddy. They don't have your best interests at heart. Build your own future. Your history dictate your future. Afrikaners don't hold on to baggage, we are stubborn and if you block us we will go around you and make our own future, always making a plan how to improve on things and doing it ourselves . Thanks Ernst and AfriForum. 'n Boer maak n plan. God with us, who can be against us! Amen
Die Afrikaner Volk sal weer opstaan. Ons sal weer ons eie Universiteite hê, ons eie skole, ons eie kurrikulums, ons eie karakter. En ons sal saamwerk met ander volke wat hulle eie ken en bewaar, en sal respek kry as ons respekteer word.
If we can rid our country of the racist dividers like eff etc. and start working together, having enough humility to recognise when we can learn from each other, we can become greater than any african nation EVER!
‘n Volk herleef ‘n Volk was verdwaald, sy koers was hy kwyt. Stom geslaan, oorweldig ja wie moes hy verwyt? Vir ‘n kortstond wou hy in ‘n balletjie krul, O wee, die leeu is gekwes, weg is sy brul. Maar ‘n volk red homself, sonder vrees of skuld, Herontdek sy krag, God het met ons geduld. En soos die son die duister deurboor, Weier die Afrikaner hart om sy eie te verloor. Die gemeenskap slaan hand aan ploeg, Gee wat jy het, dit is genoeg. Ons het gely, maar is weer aan die verstaan: Die pad na vryheid is met opofferinge gebaan. Die vryheidsvlag wapper weer in die wind, Van krag tot krag, soos die Afrikaner homself opnuut weer moet vind. Sy gees is sterk, sy hart is vry, Ons volk herleef, hier sal ons bly. @kotzefrederick

Despite the United Nations General Assembly labelling apartheid as a crime against humanity, this racist still laments it. If you mention the horrors of apartheid he will label you as living in the past, despite him dwelling on ancient battles from the previous century.
This racist still laments it? Please point to the part where he said anything racist, or at least where he laments apartheid. I either have difficulty understanding English or you magically hear racism whenever you see a white Afrikaner speak. All he said was, don't look at government to solve your problems, you're more likely to see results by fixing it yourself. But I stand to be corrected by you professor...
@@maureenjackson2041 Afrikaners are White Africans, like Blacks in America are Black Americans and not African Americans. They know nothing about Africa just as we know nothing about America.
Afrikaners were not “instructed by the British Empire to take up arms against South West Africa”. The Union of South Africa formed in 1910 did not introduce military conscription during World War I. No one was obliged/forced/required to serve Britain. Conscription was not imposed on the white population during WWII either, by which time South Africa had become a self-governing Dominion.
Actually the Smuts government went on a war economy and all food production as well as other logistical production were conscripted to support the British war effort. The Crown did not trust the loyalty of the Afrikaners hence they didn't accept them combat roles, but their food and resources were defenitly conscripted.
WHAT WERE THE ENGLISH DOING IN SOUTH AFRICA !!? 😡😡 . And what are they still doing in our country ... ALL the English do is plunder, steal and spread Hatespeech because they covet what is not theirs ... a truly evil empire

His actions, even if still in government garb, were perfectly rational for a patriotic young man of those days, who surely believed in Hertzog's maxim: South Africa first/Suid-Africa eerste. Would any of the above gentlemen, in opposition to our rationale have fought for the enemy, a mere 12 years after a devastating war? even expecting them to fight against an opponent (the Germans) which have never done them harm? Still today, after more than a century, Jopie Fourie is part of new South African and Afrikaans literature, and continues to be written about (see Albert Blakes' new publication), which obviously makes rubbish of their argument that Jopie acted dishonorably.

Ek het mense soos jy al raakgeloop!
Ek hou nie van die woord afrikaner nie. Afrika is groot. Ek persoonlik verkies Suid Afrikaner.
Ek is Christen, Afrikaner, Suid-Afrikaan en Afrikaan.
Afrikaner verwys na 'n bepaalde kultuurgemeenskap of "volk". Suid-Afrikaner verwys na mense wat burgers van die Suid-Afrikaanse staat is. Ramaphosa is 'n Suid-Afrikaner, maar nie 'n Afrikaner nie. Die meeste Afrikaners is Suid-Afrikaners, maar die meeste Suid-Afrikaners is nie Afrikaners nie.
@@ErnstRoets , die woord "Suid-AfrikanER" moes eintlik "Suid-Afrikaan" gewees het. Dit sou baie verwarring uitgeskakel het. Daarom verkies ek die woord (Suid-)Afrikaan (burger, bewoner) n.a.v. (South) African, maar steeds AfrikanER (etnisiteit).
@@ErnstRoets Suid ''Afrikaner'' maw Afrikaners wat aan die suid punt van Afrika woon ook so aangedui in almal se ID boekie. ''Ramaphosa is 'n Suid-Afrikaner, maar nie 'n Afrikaner nie'' Sy ID sê Afrikaner net soos al die ander mense in SA. Ek dink die wit Afrikaner het nooit aan 'n naam vir homself gedink nie. Wat van ''Vryburgers'' of enige ander voorstel?
''die woord "Suid-AfrikanER" moes eintlik "Suid-Afrikaan" gewees het'' die twee woorde het presies dieselfde betekenis, dit word net anders gespel.
