\"\"<\/a>Today I ask myself the question, why did my Grandfather fight in two world wars on the side of Britain, America and Europe, for\u00a0 the sake of freedom against the German Nazi’s world domination plan. I know I will never be able to find the answer to my question, as he died before I even started thinking about asking him the reason why. He may have been forced to join the South African army in world war one as the Boer people\u00a0as they were known then were living in poverty due to the recent British invasion\u00a0of the Boer Republic’s of the Orange Free State and Transvaal.\u00a0World War I\u00a0 was also a mere 13 years after the British murdered 24000 Boer children and about 5000 Boer woman in their South African concentration\u00a0Camps.<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The invasion which they called the Anglo Boer War was due to the greed of Britain to take control of the Goldfields of the Transvaal. It is also to be noted that the war crimes committed by Britain at that time\u00a0against innocent young Boer children\u00a0has always been wiped under the carpet and up and until today they have shown no remorse for these crimes against humanity.\u00a0Then in the second world war my Grandfather\u00a0once again was shipped off to Europe to fight in another war\u00a0against the\u00a0Nazi German army on the side of the British and it’s allies,which eventually took him to\u00a0North Africa.<\/p>\n

As a child\u00a0I remember him always sitting on the front porch\u00a0drinking tea and always looking\u00a0out across the back yard, and I can only now begin to realize that even though he was sitting there his mind was on some\u00a0battlefield filled with blood, bullets and the sound of dying soldiers.<\/p>\n

So now it is 2012 and my Grandfather\u00a0died many years ago as my father too, and I sit here and wonder why no one in America or Britain will or wants to recognize the fact that we gave our lives for their freedom too. I\u00a0include myself here to, as if my Grandfather was not wounded but\u00a0killed in\u00a0one of the two wars I would not be here today. Our sacrifice was made for nothing as today we\u00a0cannot ask for help from\u00a0Britain or any\u00a0of its allies to\u00a0move away from this country where we are being eliminated one by one, day by day. The only way we can be accepted with open hands is if we had the money to immigrate, and I mean\u00a0close to a million dollars which very few have\u00a0to escape out lot here. Yet in the two world wars every single South African soldier who died or was wounded died in place of one\u00a0of your own Sons, if we were not there to take that bullet<\/p>\n

Today I heard that the ANC government in South Africa has removed the flag that my Grandfather fought and sacrificed his life\u00a0under for the sake of the free world, it\u00a0has been removed from the\u00a0Castle in Cape Town where it stood with all the\u00a0old and new South African flags to commemorate the history, of South Africa past and present.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

South African soldiers in both world wars made a huge difference in the fight for freedom and yet I believe it was for nothing, and I\u00a0ask with tears in my eyes why did we help fight for freedom that we never got. Soon more\u00a0Boer people will be killed than the total amount that died in the two world wars on our farms and homes right now. Nobody cared about our Soldiers who died for freedom\u00a0in the wars and nobody cares about our Boer farmers who are murdered, raped, set alight, impaled and tortured\u00a0and chopped to\u00a0pieces with axes and machetes.<\/p>\n

The liberal South Africans are quick to tell me to leave South Africa if I am not happy, but they don’t understand that most of the\u00a0people like myself cannot leave, we don’t have enough money to do so and\u00a0wont get a Green card to live and work in the USA\u00a0or\u00a0don’t have enough\u00a0family or resources to immigrate. In fact 95% of South Africans who want to leave just cannot. So we just go about our daily lives by trying to stay out of trouble and hope that our number does not come up tomorrow morning, as if it does our passing will go as unnoticed as our thousands of soldiers who died in the Two World Wars and the thousands of Boer Farmers wives and children, mothers, fathers, grandfathers and grandmothers who have died since the beginning of the so-called South African Democracy of 1994. This week a good friend of mine arrived at his home and was attacked by three black men who beat him to a pulp, and were about to finish him off with their knifes when they were interrupted by passers-by. He is recovering in hospital and has been beaten so badly that he needs an emergency\u00a0back operation but has to wait till his other wounds heal. My wife’s sisters child in Cape Town narrowly escaped a hijacking a few nights ago while she was on her way home on her little scooter from work. They grabbed her but she just kept her scooter going until they had to let go. There are many other stories which will never be told or heard by the world, but as for my Wife and I, we would leave this country today if we could. There is nothing more to save here, years from now the world may realize they made a big mistake to allow us to be exterminated but then it will all be too late. I am not looking for sympathy here, as I know everyone has their own problems, as even my friends in America, the UK and Europe have huge problems coming their way too. I suppose the truth is, I am just like most other people\u00a0we all just want the truth to be known by all and not let the truth\u00a0be buried\u00a0with us.<\/p>\n

Below is the article that prompted me to write this:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Shock as Cape Town’s Castle Removes Old South African\u00a0Flag<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"AllCape Town – Many South Africans have reacted with shock to the news that the Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town will no longer display all the flags representing the regimes involved in the country\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

From now on only the new South African flag will be flown, reported Die Burger<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n

This followed after an ANC MP, Nomfunelo\u00a0Mabedla, a member of the parliamentary portfolio committee on defence said seeing the old SA flag at the Castle upset her.<\/p>\n

A decision was then taken that the Dutch, British Union and old SA flags representing the country\u2019s historic heritage would be removed and that only the country’s newest flag would be flying at the Castle in future.<\/p>\n

South Africans took to social media to express their outrage, saying the flags represented the country\u2019s history, which didn\u2019t start in 1994.<\/p>\n

Some users stated that this decision didn\u2019t bode well for transformation in the country and said it would promote racial hatred.<\/p>\n

Mabedla apparently said the old flag had to be \u201cput away in a museum with other artefacts dating from that era\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat flag belongs in a museum and shouldn\u2019t fly proudly next to the SA flag,\u201d Mabandla said.<\/p>\n
