Afrikaner Perspectives

Last week, ANC leader Jacob Zuma stirred controversy in South Africa after holding a meeting with various Afrikaner leaders, and proclaiming after wards that, among White people, the Afrikaner are the only true South Africans.

Oom H.S. van Blerk Interview

Hello, Africa!


Oom H.S. van Blerk, who was first heard on our show during our Majuba Day celebration a few weeks back, returns to give a living history lesson about his work with the Ossewa Brandwag (OB), also known as The Oxwagon Guards.

The OB was founded on the 4th of February, 1939, by a group of Boere gathered in the Twin Tower Church in Bloemfontein to promote their freedom ideals. Inspired by the beginning of patriotism and national unity among Afrikaners which came about from the symbolic Great Trek of 1938 and the subsequent laying of the corner stone at the Voortrekker Monument, this cultural movement grew in size to more than 300-thousand members, many of them women, and included a youth movement as well as a network of sympathizers.

Today, as the freedom and Boer Republics the OB envisaged for South Africa has not yet been realized, the OB has a particular message for Afrikaners struggling to find their true identity and clear future ideals.
