Apartheid: Let’s set the record straight

As a public figure, it's important to recognise the impact of our words either physically or digitally.
Recently, there has been an uproar surrounding certain comments that I said in an interview. In this video, I want to take the opportunity to address these topics with honesty, transparency, and accountability.
I believe it's important to not only acknowledge our missteps but also to learn from them and take steps to become more capable.
So, let's sit down and have a chat about it.
--
CHAPTERS:
0:00 - My disclaimers.
2:52 - How do you construct a nation?
4:49 - What did I say in the interview with Prof. JJ?
8:52 - Enforcing the agenda of apartheid.
11:23 - What is the legacy of apartheid today?
15:58 - Theatre and no action.
17:42 - We are unable to deal with the realities we face today.
20:05 - Why I’m not interested in politics.
23:56 - Don’t steal my argument.
26:06 - If it is the truth as I see it, stop looking.

    I am a 60 year old white woman that grew up in a children's home. High fences, hardly any contact to the outside world. Treated like trash, lashed with "canes" that drew blood ... by our white headmaster. Then I left at age 18, got married at 23 and had my first child at 25. Then I needed to get a "domestic" to help raise my children so I could work to support my kids. At the age of 28 I asked my domestic what "apartheid" meant! She explained it to me. Those years these things didn't make the news, no social media, no free speech! I raised my children differently, I was front and centre voting for Mr Mandela. My domestic became my mom, she's with me till this day. I live her and her family like my own. It does not mean because my skin is white, I am a racist ... that is a choice when you get an opportunity to choose! God bless you Vusi, I understand your point of view!!!

    Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.

    The degradation of any political party is inevitable for any party in any democratic country when they are in power for too long. Basically political parties are like underwear, if you don't change them regularly they tend to get dirty! This is the curse that has destroyed many Democratic African countries, its for this reason and this reason alone Africa is so far behind many other countries! Time to wake up! Your Grandparents had to do unpopular things to defeat evil, its up to us to do the same thing today! This time the enemy is in our camp, and South Africa should ALWAYS take priority over egos. Fact is wether people can stomach it or not, the DA would be better for black South Africans by every measurable, practical measure... on the ground. There is hard evidence and data for this, its indisputable. This thing of calling the DA racist is equally absurd propaganda. Look at the demographics of the party. Its the only truly diverse party, just like our country! Besides what is wrong with a white face in politics, we cannot judge people by race, otherwise it would be hypocritical to ever cry "racism" ourselves. Real question, if you are bound to the ANC and have to vote for them no matter what, are you even free? Sometimes mental slavery exists on the inside not the outside. Lets break those chains, we have one more chance to save our beloved country!

    The British attacked the Boers to get control over the diamond and gold fields. When they could not win the war, the British went to the farms and burned down the farm houses and the crops. They salted the land to make it unproductive. Some land is still salted to this day. The women and children were taking to concentration camps where they was poisoned by the thousands. And most of those graves are still visible. The British banned the Afrikaans language and prohibited the appointment of Boers. The British also fuelled the hatred between Blacks and Boers, divide and conquer . The Boers did not burned down the country to get back at the British. They worked hard so they could use financial power to oust the British. When that happened, the Boers did not ban the British flag. They did not destroy statues. When Afrikaans was not allowed at UCT, they build Stellenbosch University to be better. And they stayed friends with UCT. There was no reason to be jealous over the successes of UCT. The Afrikaans people used the excellent infrastructure that they inherit from the British and improved on it. Why can't the black people have a similar attitude? Or even a better attitude? Sharpville was a mob of criminally murderous looters, the same as Marikana. The difference was that at Sharpville there was black and white policemen. At Marikana there was only black policemen. The opposition of Apartheid was also local white people like the Black Sash and the VP. The VP became the DA, while the ANC and the previous Apartheid regime joined forces.

    "Stuck on hate..." Not entirely true. We are being attacked by Socialism via the Communist Party, which has been around since 1921. It works on the premise that there are Oppressors and Oppressed. It has turned that into 'racism', where Whites are the Oppressors and Blacks are the Oppressed. Why? So the Communists can 'Mediate' between the two and bring 'social justice' to all people. The Blacks want it, so they vote ANC. But Communism is about power, not truth, not facts, and not evidence. They need racism to survive, without it Blacks will know they are capable of achieving anything, and not blames Whites for their failure, as the government does. Consequently, they will vote for truth, justice, safety, and the right to express themselves. The ANC, like the Communist Party, will cease to exist. Interesting to note that the 'evil apartheid' (separate development, or multi-culture) is mostly raised during election times and catastrophic government failures. Consequently, the 'Evil Apartheid' is a false narrative perpetuated by those who seek power for its own sake, imho. It was Communism the Apartheid government was fighting against, not race. It was Communism that inspired the 'Heroes of the Struggle' to promote racism as their 'cause', not the government. The current government's failure is because it is attempting to implement Socialism through Constitutional and Capitalistic systems. For example, 'Land expropriation without compensation' is a socialist idea not grounded in Property Rights and outside the Transitional Constitutional mandate. The land expropriation section was intended for the government to buy land to extend its services to the people. This is not what the current Constitution prescribes, but an unjust Socialist idea embedded into a just value system. Until the 'evil Separate Development' narrative is dismantled, Blacks will never achieve any real success and the actual perpetrators never identified because the Communist Party will never allow it. The reason they promote hate is because that is the only emotion that can ignore truth, integrity, facts, evidence, and righteous behaviour.

I am a white South African business woman and I am very proud of my heritage, just as you are. The content of your views definitely has a strong and valid point. As you proudly said, you don’t care who like or dislike you… so do I… one thing you have to take in consideration is the fact that our generation inherited the apartheid regime and CANNOT be held responsible for any wrong doings of the past. There was wrong doings to the Boer’s during the war between black and white back in history- How do one stop this repeated bad habits ? Just as you say… STOP! Let us build this country together with a solid law system, educate young children with a non judgemental attitude and stop holding grudges both ways. We will NOT move forward with an attitude of constantly using apartheid for an excuse for the incompetency and corruption that is never ending. It might be a good idea if you can change your mind and stand for president- both races, white and black needs a leader with a view, and I definitely think you are a great candidate. Thank you for your positive outlook, and by the way… we both have a story to tell, maybe if combined a beautiful dream can be born from this. 👍

    Despite your oratory skills Vusi and the music playing on the background, you speak the truth that only people who know how to separate themselves from emotions can handle, sticking to the theme and expound your ideas or your observations requires certain level of cognitive awareness, and that's exactly what most people lack...but for those of us who understand or who are in the process of doing the inner work relate very strongly. Finally be strong in the Lord and in the power of His Might and do what you've been anointed to do, the Hand of the Lord will carry you till the day of the Lord.

YOu have a simple, realistic and relatable way of inspiring/teaching especially for people in Africa since we all speak the 'same' language of escaping poverty and inferiority. Keep it up and remember that every good crop attracts weed. There's a verse in the Bible that I love on how to deal with weed, find it and it will inspire you as you continue to inspire us... Be blessed.

I have nearly lost hope in this, but I am so thankful to people like you and (shout out to) Big Daddy Liberty that is giving voice to reason... to celebrating being an individual who calls things as they see it... to speaking truth. Thank you Vusi. May your honesty and integrity inspire more of our lost souls to waking up from the theatre daze, and to become invested in the truth beyond emotions.

    You have touched my soul. I've just retired from teaching. Our children need to hear these words. We need to encourage the youth to think and debate our lot as south Africans. A really powerful honest talk. Thank you. ❤️

    Thank you. Agree 100%! Everyone agreeing with you should stand up, speak up, and do something to stop the slide of SA into irrelevance. I am a 55 year old white man from the Netherlands who has worked as a church planter in the township Soshanguve for 7 years, and planted a multicultural church in the suburbs after that. I’ve been part of SA for 23 years now and I love to see South Africa grow instead of fall apart. Change is needed.

    Vusi my brother, we need people like you. You are extensively making a mark on the broadest scale. Hater will always be hater in the true sense of the word but deep down they know and probably haunted by their own conscientic night mares. Unfortunately the country is rapidly flowing away as they continue to be fronted left and right for self enrichment

    Respect my brother. Your love for our country can't be questioned anymore after this special speech. The truth you speak is so loud it is so sharp like a minora blade. What I take from this is never be intimidated by anyone, especially when the truth is in your side

    You had me glued to the screen. Captivated. Inspired. I am far away in a Latin Country now for 10 years plus but I am South African. We have problems and we moan and groan and are quick to point a finger. Sometimes we talk before we think. Well I salute you for standing true and strong and yes we can not agree on everything. How dull will life be then hey. I do hope that South Africans can come together and am happy to know that there are out of the box thinkers like you. Take care and God bless.

    Hate breeds more hate. We should all get unstuck. First time I see you. Don’t know if you reading these comments. I hope someone does. I’m glad you won’t stop or give in. Vusi, you’re a blessing to South Africa. Thank you Sir.

    We need to set the record straight as it was said .I grew up during apartheid and every job within public service that I applied for I was put through stringent selection testing ,interviewing and evaluation together with all other applicants. Never once was I asked for my Political affiliation. I started right at the bottom as a counter clerk and worked my way up through hard work and study which I myself paid for, without any help from anybody to achieve a degree and a post graduate masters without ever seeing the inside of a University. Studying at night and working by day. There was no Cadre deployment or political comradeship for me. And this was the general rule for all my peers. What there was, was Discipline and an inherent will and striving to personally better myself. Yes I cannot deny that there probably was corruption, but not at my level and not even a drop in the bucket compared to what there is now and how it expanded since 1994.. I can remember only 1 Minister being fired for corruption, one Havenga and that happened within days of the story being broken by the press. And I was working within a public Service organization, where I would have been aware of such things. So, to try and make the Apartheid government out as just as corrupt as the present regime , and labelling the whole system as corrupt is simply a smoke screen. They would never have been able to build South Africa into the largest economy in the whole of Africa, with the best military on the continent if this had remotely been the case. And to top it all off, the standards of living of all its people were better than anything found elsewhere in Africa. Even our Good comrade Malema related that when he was young there was a working clinic within walking distance of his home in Limpopo. Yes Apartheid was an evil system for its ideologies but in terms of economic development of the country and its infrastructure it was totally first World. Can the same be said of what we have now? You answer that one Vusi.....;
