The ‘unity’ issue – often used in South African politics

‘Unity’ is defined in the dictionary as the state of being united or joined as a whole. It is a word often used in South African politics.

More than frequently one hears the lament: We have no unity, therefore we will never progress. The belief that unity is a requirement for political progress or for self-determination, is a carefully cooked up ploy by the liberal.

It is, in fact, not true. It makes one think of the words of Charles Beaudelaire, which was also used in the 1995 Hollywood movie, The Usual Suspects : The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled, was convincing the world that he didn’t exist”

Exactly so with the cry for the non-existent “unity”. By definition unity means that all nationalist, freedom loving groups, political parties and cultural and religious groups should merge into one big organisation representing the Afrikaner/Boer nation. Can anybody provide me with an example of such a unity anywhere in world history? No, didn’t think so.

Unity means that we agree on the very fundamental issues and allow others the space for their unique interpretation of minor issues. What do we all want? We all want freedom from oppression, we want self determination for our nation and we want the safety of our people on their property.

Is there a man amongst us who does not want this?

Then, dear friends…we have unity. Can we please leave this issue behind us now?
