Jack Hindon Verkenners: Geldenhuys waits for Malema shoot-out

Who are we?

The Jack Hindon Scouts is a London posting of the Verkennersbeweging van Suid-Afrika, who supports and calls for Boere-Afrikaner self-determination.

We hold the opinion that the current constitutional order in South Africa is destined to fail. It basically enables and ensures the inept ANC to govern South Africa ad infinitum, whose populist and racist National Democratic Revolution policies are not only economically unsustainable, but also inciting and fuelling racial hatred, especially against minorities who celebrate their distinct cultural identity and heritage.

The Jack Hindon Scouts subsequently maintain that the only solution for a durable peace in South Africa would be for government to back down on its efforts of social engineering (via draconian discriminatory policies like Black Economic Empowerment, Affirmative Action and Land Reform) a so-called egalitarian Rainbow society - which is only beneficial to top ANC cadres - and allow the Boer people to determine their own future in peaceful co-existence with all other ethnic groups in South Africa.

The Jack Hindon Scouts further rejects any notion of a "Rainbow Nation", not only because the ANC clearly doesn't believe in it either, but mainly because it is a pipe dream with no founding in reality.

One only needs to look at the United Kingdom and its devolution of power to the Northern Irish, Scottish and Welsh assemblies in Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff respectively to realise that engineering a common purpose and common identity for distinct and diverse ethnic groups is not as easy as coining a good catchphrase.

In South Africa we are well aware of the consequences of the actions of do-gooders who utilised government's powers of coercion and compulsion in order to engineer a society they deemed more acceptable. Now, how is it that we find ourselves today at the opposite side of the very same junction?

If government policies of FORCED segregation are evil, who decided that government policies of FORCED integration are good and the right way to go?

Surely a more Laissez-Faire approach of live and let live and "All peoples have the right to self-determination", in line with The United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, sounds much more digestible.

Apart from the odd protest, the Jack Hindon Scouts mainly focus on celebrating the Afrikaner culture also here in the United Kingdom. This includes arranging Cantus evenings and events commemorating historical Boer figures like Danie Theron, CR de Wet, Jopie Fourie, Koos de la Rey, etc. as well as Boer victories like the Battle of Majuba. We are also involved in arranging the annual Day of the Vow religious festival.

Geldenhuys waits for Malema shoot-out

ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema has not yet arrived to shoot a "boer" at Fort Schanskop, south of Pretoria, today.

The national secretary of the Verkenners Beweging (scouts' movement) Ben Geldenhuys was waiting for Malema to come and shoot him, but he had not yet arrived by 12.30pm.

Last week, Geldenhuys challenged Malema to shoot him, after the youth league leader sang "shoot the boer".

Geldenhuys said if Malema was so keen to shoot a boer, "let him come shoot me instead of inciting other people to murder defenceless elderly farmers and women".

"To make it easy for him, I will wait for him at Fort Schanskop at 12 noon on March 19," he said last week.

Geldenhuys told Sapa while waiting for Malema on Friday: "I haven't backed down, I'll be waiting."

ANC spokesman Ishmael Mnisi said Geldenhuys and his organisation must "engage with" Malema and give him an opportunity to express himself.

"This is just a pre-occupation of something unwarranted," he said referring queries to the youth wing for further comment on the matter.

The league's spokesman Floyd Shivambu was not immediately available for comment, although he insisted last week that the song was "blown out of proportion".

He said the song, together with President Jacob Zuma's "Umshini wam", was a commemorative song about the past.

Malema sang "shoot the boere" while addressing students at the University of Johannesburg, sparking outrage among Afrikaners and others, who said he was inciting violence against whites.

Geldenhuys said 3000 farmers, most of them elderly women, had been brutally murdered on their farms since the ANC came to power in 1994.

He said this could not simply be ascribed to crime.
