The ‘New South Africa’ died in the Free State today

The ‘New South Africa’ died in the Free State today
Farmers and ANC members at the Parys court.

There was no farm attack, because in this country we have no farm attacks and in the Free State there is no such thing. That is the opinion this morning of Oupa Magadlela, ANC Spokesperson. We don’t kill each other because we are a Rainbow Nation.

This opinion was voiced outside the courtroom in the Free State town of Parys where 4 farmers appeared to ask for bail this morning after a farm attack last week leading to the death of the two black attackers. An opinion, frankly unworthy even of a response.

There was extensive media coverage of the tension outside the building. They spoke of the farmers and the black residents of the town calling each other names, provoking each other, of the colours of the old Boer flag as opposed to the yellow-green-black of the ANC and the red of the EFF. They send pictures into the world of white men giving offensive middle-finger signals to black men and of black men screaming abuse into the face of an elderly white man. It is mentioned that the old national anthem “Die Stem” The Call of South Africa was sung by the farmers and their wives and their children and their parents and their neighbours. And then “Kill the Boer, Kill the farmer” was sung by the black men and their wives and their children and their parents and their neighbours.

And all the media reports on is the conflict, the differences, the opposites. But about the most important even the media does not mention a word, for if they do they have to admit 22 years of lies, indoctrination, propaganda and fraud. It is but one photograph speaking of what really happened this morning, more than many thousands of word by the media can even explain or try to reason away.

In between the two opposing groups of people in the street of a Free State town this morning it was necessary to erect a fence of barbed wire to ensure peace. South Africa ran the full course this day. It has become necessary to keep the people of this country apart by force again.

The picture of the funeral of the Rainbow Nation was taken in the Free State this morning.
