Afrikaneremigrasie is ‘n werklikheid

Of u nou daarvan hou of nie, emigrasie is ‘n werklikheid. Ek gaan nie kant kies nie, want dan gaan my teenstanders my stenig. Die jongste opnames toon dat daar waarskynlik vanjaar nog in 2018 ‘n emigrasierekord opgestel gaan word. Amptelike inligting toon dat landgenote wat vanjaar nog na die Verenigde Koninkryk wil emigreer, met..

At least a million, possibly much more, white South Africans have left their country in the past three decades, but most don’t choose Russia as their new home, unlike Johannes du Toit, who is intent on settling there as Ivan Vahrushin.
“The hostility, the injustice I’m living through, it is to do with the South African government. It is an attack on our people. They don’t want us to feel comfortable in our own country. They want us all to leave,”du Toit explains in his still somewhat rough but comprehensible Russian.

South Africa, international pressure mounting

While the South African media remains conveniently quiet about international resistance to the current regime in the country, dr Dan Roodt described it as “already bigger than the anti apartheid movement ever was.”
