NG Kerk sê steeds jammer vir apartheid(!)

In 2015 het die NG Kerk leierskap ’n groot inisiatief van stapel gestuur om die belydenis van Belhar deur die NG Kerk as amptelike belydenisskrif goed te keur. Die Belydenis van Belhar is oorspronklik gebore uit die bevrydingsteologie en is by geleentheid as ’n anti-apartheidsbelydenis gebruik. Gemeentes en sinodes het egter daarteen gestem (kyk NGK Belhar stemresultate 2015).

In Januarie 2018 het die NG Kerk leierskap in goeder trou met die EFF vergader (kyk EFF ontvang NG Kerk ‘hartlik’ en praat oor landsake).

Op 6 Maart 2018 het die NG Kerk leierskap hulle steun gegee vir grondhervorming (kyk Die NG Kerk en grondhervorming).

Nou is daar in die Mail & Guardian berig (18 April 2019) dat die NG Kerk steeds jammer sê vir apartheid (kyk artikel “NG Kerk is repenting for apartheid” hieronder).

Dit is verstommend dat apartheid steeds so fel gekritiseer word as in ag geneem word wat tydens apartheid vermag is en wat tans in die land aangaan. Tydens apartheid is Suid-Afrika opgebou tot ’n sterk nasie. Tans is Suid-Afrika op alle fasette, in ’n kritieke toestand. Sedert 1994 het Suid-Afrika met rasseskrede op alle gebiede agteruit gegaan.

Ek wil ’n paar dinge noem:

Finansiële gesondheid

Oor die lang termyn gekyk, bly ’n land se wisselkoers ’n baie goeie finansiële barometer. Hier volg ’n kort geskiedenis oor die Rand-Doller wisselkoers:

Voor Maart 1982 is die Rand-Doller wisselkoers altyd onder R1/$. Sanksies en druk vanuit die buiteland laat die Rand egter verswak tot ongeveer R2/$ in 1989.

Van 1989 tot die einde van apartheid in 1994 bevind Suid-Afrika homself in ’n politieke krisis met baie opstande en geweld (kyk Tainted Heroes Full Documentary van Ernst Roets). Dit was duidelik dat Suid-Afrika ’n nuwe bedeling sou betree. Die Rand daal van R2/$ tot R3.6/$.

Na 1994 is alle sanksies gelig, maar die Rand word nie sterker nie. Inteendeel, stelselmatig verswak dit tot R8/$ in 2001. Op 1 Desember 2001 val die Rand drasties tot R13.84/$. Dit is indirek as gevolg van grondhervorming in Zimbabwe tesame met die terrosiste-aanval op 11 September 2001 in Amerika. Die hoofrede egter is dat Suid-Afrika se regering steeds sukkel om die vertroue van die buiteland te wen. Daarna herstel dit darem weer na R6/$ in 2005.

In 2008 bedank Mbeki onder druk van die ANC en die Rand val na R11.48/$. Zuma neem by Mbeki oor in Mei 2009. Die Rand herstel weer tot R7/$ in 2011, maar daarna verswak die Rand tot ’n historiese laagtepunt van R16.88/$ op 18 Januarie 2016. Op 15 Februarie 2019 begin Ramaphosa sy termyn as president, maar die Rand herstel maar min. Tans is dit R14.3/$.

In 2017 word Suid-Afrika amptelik afgegradeer na rommelstatus (kyk 5 reasons why SA is still junk status, according to S&P).

Suid-Afrika se skuld is tans so hoog dat ons R1 miljard net aan rente betaal per dag. Hierdie lenings groei hoogs waarskynlik baie vinnig, dus verhoog die rente jaarliks. (kyk Adriaan Basson: Mboweni’s truths – we are bankrupt and people will lose their jobs)

Suid-Afrika beleef tans die langste dalende sakesiklus sedert 1945 terwyl ander ontluikende markte groei toon.

Bankrot staatsdepartemente

Feitlik al die staatsdepartemente is bankrot:

  • Eskom, wat eens die trots van Suid-Afrika was, is nou ’n reuse verleentheid. Eskom skuld R400 miljard rand. Teen 10% rente is dit R110 miljoen se rente per dag (kyk How the ANC government broke Eskom – 2008 versus 2018).
  • Heelwat munisipaliteite is bankrot. Dit bring mee dat Eskom nie betaal word nie en dit grawe Eskom se gat net dieper.
  • Die SABC is bankrot.
  • SAL is bankrot.
  • Postnet (poskantoordepartement) is bankrot en uiters onbetroubaar (kyk Amazon halts shipping to South Africa).
  • E-toll is bankrot.
  • Randwater is in finansïele moeilikheid.
  • SARS is in finansiële moeilikheid.
  • Transnet (treine) is op die randjie van bankrotskap.
  • PRASA (passasierstreine) is op die randjie van bankrotskap.
  • In 2017 al was die hoeveelheid mense wat toelaes van die regering ontvang het meer as die mense wat ’n salaris ontvang het. Dit is waarskynlik nou nog erger, want intussen het die tempo waarteen geleerdes die land verlaat, versnel (kyk Sharp rise in number of South Africans leaving the country).

Om die staatsdiens aan die gang te hou (om salarisse te betaal) moet die regering geld leen. Soos reeds gesê betaal Suid-Afrika reeds R1 miljard per dag aan rente.

Misdaad

Misdaad het lankal buite beheer geraak en dit is grotendeels na aanleiding van ’n oneffektiewe polisiemag en regstelsel. Elektrisiteit word blatant gesteel in swart woonbuurtes, kabeldiefstal is vir baie lank al ’n reuse probleem en veroorsaak dat Telkom byvoorbeeld heeltemal wil weg beweeg van landlyne. Dikwels hoor mens dat dit nie help op die noodnommer 10111 te bel nie. Baie foto’s doen die rondte van polisiemense wat sit en slaap in die polisiekantoor.

Ek weet nie van baie mense wat meer vertroue in die polisiediens het nie. Kyk byvoorbeeld:

Suid-Afrika se moordstatistieke vergelyk met oorlogsgebiede (kyk Here’s how South Africa’s crime rate compares to actual warzones).

Plaasmoorde is buite beheer. In die verlede was daar ’n kommandostelsel wat veiligheid aan veral boere verskaf het, maar die ANC het daarmee weggedoen. Kyk ook:

Regstelsel

Die regstelsel kan ook nie meer vertrou word nie. Indien die polisie wel kwaaddoeners vang, gebeur dit dikwels dat hulle uit die tronk ontsnap of die dossiere “raak weg” voordat hulle verhoor kan word en moet die saak uitgegooi word.

Op 23 Desember 2018 is berig van ’n ooglopend vals grondeis wat 20 jaar geduur het omdat die grondeisekommissaris tussen twee vure gesit het en nie gesien wou word dat hy die eisersgemeenskap in die steek laat nie.

In Coligny is twee blankes tot tronkstraf veroordeel vir die moord op ’n swart man. Nadat hulle veroordeel is, het die enigste “ooggetuie”, Bonakele Pakisi, erken dat hy geïntimideer was om vir die hof te lieg (kyk I lied, no I didn’t! – Coligny murder witness changes his story… again).

Willem Oosthuysen en Theo Martins Jackson is onderskeidelik tot 11 jaar en 14 jaar tronkstraf gevonnis omdat hulle ’n swartman wat onwettig op ’n plaas was skrik wou maak en gemaak het of hulle hom lewendig wou begrawe. Hulle is gevonnis op aanklagte van aanranding, met die doel om ernstig te beseer, ontvoering, poging tot moord en intimidasie. Hierdie is egter heeltemal buite verband geruk – as jy na die video kyk is dit duidelik dat daar geen aanranding ter sprake was nie (kyk Appèlhof sê oor doodskis-twee).

Vicky Momberg is tot tronkstraf gevonnis vir die gebruik van die k-woord, ten spyte daarvan dat menige swart politici die lied “Kill the boer, kill the farmer” sing terwyl daar amper weekliks plaasaanvalle is.

Korrupsie

Daar is ’n elle lange lys van blatante korrupsie. Ek gaan slegs die titels hier noem. Lesers kan die detail self gaan soek en verifieer indien hulle wil:

Kyk ook:

Weermag

Die Suid-Afrikaanse weermag is definief nie meer die trotse eenheid wat dit was voor 1994 nie. In April 2019 word berig oor kommer oor wapendiefstal uit die weermag (kyk hier en hier).

Skole

Suid-Afrika se skole in swart gebiede is in ’n benarde situasie. Tydens apartheid het swart skole minder geld ontvang as blanke skole. Nou is dit omgeruil, maar steeds is die skoolresultate van die swakste ter wêreld. Kyk:

Besoedeling

Omdat munisipaliteite nie die nodige instandhouding op rioolstelsels doen nie, beland groot hoeveelhede riool in riviere. Die Hartebeespoortdam sit reeds jare lank met ’n besoedelingsprobleem en die Vaaldam is nie ver hiervan nie (kyk Restoration of polluted Vaal River system will take a year: army).

Naamsveranderinge

Amanzimtoti se hoofstraat, Kingsway, is verander en vernoem na Andrew Zondo, ’n bomplanter wat verantwoordelik was vir die dood van vyf mense (kyk Andrew Zondo, the Amanzimtoti bomb and the ANC’s tainted heroes).

In Desember 2018 is berig dat die stadsraad van Johannesburg ’n mosie gesteun het om Sandton Drive te verander na Leila Khaled Drive. Khaled is bekend daarvoor dat sy die eerste vroulike vliegtuigkaper is (kyk City of Johannesburg Renames Street After PFLP Terrorist Leila Khaled).

Grondhervorming

Grondhervorming is ’n totale mislukking. In 2011 is reeds berig dat 30% van plase wat aan swartes gegee is, net weer verkoop is (kyk Black farmers in South Africa cash in by selling land given to them by the government… back to whites who originally owned the farms).

Nou oorweeg die regering om grond te vat van mense sonder enige vergoeding. Dit kan net rampspoedige gevolge inhou.

Diskriminasie

BBBEE spesifiseer dat maatskappye ’n sekere hoeveelheid swart aandeelhouers/eienaarskap moet hê om in besigheid te bly. Dit word onder die vaandel gedoen van ’n “regstelling”, om swartes te help om bo uit te kom. Dit het daartoe gelei dat Sasol, om ’n voorbeeld te noem, die Khanyisa inisiatief gelanseer het wat swart, kleurling en Indiër werknemers finansieel bevoordeel bo wit werknemers. Dit is ’n vorm van blatante diskriminasie, soortgelyk met wat tydens apartheid gebeur het. Ná 25 is dit duidelik dat BBEEE en regstellende aksie ’n mislukking is, maar die regering dryf dit sterker en sterker.

Ander

In 2009 het Brittanje verklaar dat alle Suid-Afrikaners visums nodig het om Brittanje te besoek omdat daar vrae was oor Suid-Afrika se paspoortbeheer (kyk South Africans wanting to visit the UK now need a visa).

—————-

En dan wil die NG Kerk leierskap steeds jammer sê vir apartheid.

Hierdie wys dat die NG Kerk leierskap totaal uit voeling is met die deursnit lidmaat. Ek wil so ver gaan as om te sê dat ’n mens sou sweer dat die NG Kerk leierskap daarop uit is om die kerk te vernietig met hierdie tipe uitlatings.

NG Kerk is repenting for apartheid

Mail & Guardian

Lester Kiewit, 18 April 2019

The Dutch Reformed Church (NG Kerk), whose congregants are predominantly white Afrikaans speakers, says it was part of the problem of apartheid, and wants to be part of rebuilding South Africa.

Church leaders have held several meetings and embarked on projects with victims of the apartheid-era regime as the first steps to make concrete contributions to the country, says the church’s national moderator, Nelis van Rensburg.

“We were very much complicit [in propping up apartheid]. We provided the theological base for apartheid.

And that’s how ideology works,” he says.

“If you can give it a religious sanction, it becomes even stronger. And that’s what we did.”

Van Rensburg says the church will continue to repent for its sins for as long as is necessary, knowing that their reconciliatory words must be followed by redress and action.

“Atonement is always necessary. You keep on with it. You keep on with repentance. Until you make sure everyone who’s been implicated and who’s been part of the legacy of apartheid has heard you. It’s not like we, as the Dutch Reformed Church, can decide we’ve done enough,” he says.

The church was established in South Africa in the 1600s with the arrival of Dutch settlers. It was only in 1986 that the NG Kerk welcomed South Africans of all races to worship under one roof.

In recent months the church has had several meetings with political parties, the Khulumani apartheid victim support group and the widows and children of activists murdered and persecuted by the government during apartheid.

Van Rensburg says a profound moment forhim was meeting the widows of two of the Cradock Four. In 1985, ANC activists Matthew Goniwe, Fort Calata, Sparrow Mkhonto and Sicelo Mhlauli were killed by security police after being stopped at a roadblock outside Port Elizabeth.

“In 1985, when the Cradock Four were killed, I was a student and very unaware of what happened. And when we became aware we were so ashamed of what we contributed to. Our unawareness was not an excuse. Our unawareness was part of how theology worked in our community. It was no excuse,” Van Rensburg says.

He says the church leadership met Nomonde Calata and Nyameka Goniwe, the widows of Calata and Matthew, and later visited the men’s graves.

Calata’s son, Lukhanyo, who is spearheading an effort to reopen a police investigation into the four men’s deaths and the prosecution of those involved, says his family appreciated the visit “because it shows us that there was a commitment and seriousness that the NG Kerk was showing towards issues of nation-building”.

“The fact that the church acknowledged our pain and looked my mother and me in the eye, and acknowledged our pain and the pain of other victims, and spoke to reconciliation and redress …it is very difficult to put into words what that meant to us,” he says.

Van Renburg says the church is following up their meetings with policy discussions on redress, such as land restitution. He says that gestures without measures to undo the injustices of apartheid would be empty.

“You can’t say the one thing without the other,” he says.
