Afrikanerbond 'disappointed' by Ramaphosa's Reconciliation Day speech

DURBAN - The Afrikanerbond said on Thursday that it had been disappointed by president Cyril Ramaphosa's Reconciliation Day speech, which painted Afrikaners as "invaders".

"History must be judged in the context of the time and not with today's ideology," Afrikanerbond chairperson Jaco Shoeman said via an emailed statement. "During Reconciliation Day, president Ramaphosa went out of his way to provide a contemporary ideological context to the Battle of Blood River. His own interpretation is that the Zulu impis were freedom fighters who fought for the freedom of their land against 'invaders', namely the Voortrekkers," said Shoeman.

Ramaphosa made no mention of historical context, the brutal murders of Voortrekkers and their leaders, treason, or "the bloody history and massacre between black tribes during tribal wars at the time". "This kind of one-sided interpretation of our history is not worthy of this president," said Shoeman.

Disappointed is a diplomatic word. I was de moer in. Ramaphosa was talking plain BS. Selling the Afrikaner history for Zulu points. The idiot think Zulu's are stupid. Let us understand BEE billionaire Ramaphosa. He does not have the Afrikaner or Zulu strength. He is a sissy.

Just 35 years ago they called them selves Europeans and now they don't wanna be called invaders ai these ones.....mara ANC really failed us now we have to even read such news about these invaders

Are they saying he didn't read the speech they gave or he tweaked some of the words they wrote?

Section 25(7) of the Constitution seem to condone the Afrikanerbond invaders’ tag. If we r to talk of meaningful review of s25, this sub-section must occupy reviewers of the section

This is evidence that the ANC is full of liars. What makes Afrikaaners think that any black person would agree with their version of history? They must be either crazy or have been lied to.

CyrilRamaphosa bayak’biza ndoda.

They can go to the hearest hell!!!

Bebephi 🤣🤣

The racists are not happy with the stooge they purchased for themselves; Nice to be these apartheid thugs, u make money out of oppressing people, u give them a right to vote & buy yourself a stooge as president ☹️; It’s infuriating but anyway....

They are reminding him that he is their bitch.

Translation: The slavemasters are not happy with their purchase.

Probably for being ineffective at pushing their agenda.

They are sending a message to him to remind him.of his place... they bought him

By cyrils logic the recent farm murderers are also considered ' freedom fighters ' He is playing a dangerous game.

Why can't we hear nothing abt thn reconcile 'from them. ask forgiveness from us ? Bt Africans has 🤔on their own land 😡how is dis wrk?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Its what happens when you are owned

😂😂😂😂😂 Snowflakes.

Nonsense, he is not here to nurse their feelings, why must we shy away from the fact that they oppressed us and are not remorseful.

Phumlan_Mabaso He will retract he can't infuriate his handlers.

Oh shit, was he handed the wrong speech...heads are going to roll.....Remember the SABC person 😉

They are invaders no wonder they called themselves Europeans.

ali_naka PLEASE RUN THESE EVIL WHITE people OUT OF AFRICA! They are all TERRORIST! They STOLE everything they have from GOD TRUE PEOPLE the AFRICANS!

Nice. only about the speech. Some who voted for him is disappointed in the whole term so far.

Zulu impi's who brutally murdered women and children at Bloukrans depicted by Ramaphosa as 'freedom fighters' is typical ANC. The bigger vilest criminal you are, the better freedom fighter. This is a grave insult and cheap shot by Ramaphosa to buy the proud Zulu people.

onelove300000 I hope cde Spokesperson KhuselaS won’t say the speech was taken out of context and apologize to the Broederbond

MolokoHM Pulling strings already

What did they expect from a politician.

They are originally 'invaders', what do they think

Here's a good one....

Yoh

Hle iyho this big story mos

They are of course invaders. Had they remained in Europe non of that would ever have happened. Land and minerals thieves!!

Hahaha disappointed ☹️ he lied & that is called disappointed WOW

'Afrikaners are descendants of pioneers and Voortrekkers towards freedom and not of 'invaders'.' What a funny statement.

Hhhee!

Also getting tired of this Ramaphosa fool.

How did this stooge become the resident vele? 😌😌

He will engage them privately.😏

A bunch of rich racists.

We are all disappointed, he is not fit to be president...
