“It was but yesterday that the Afrikaners wrested from British impe-
rial occupation the right to be a nation, to be independent in part-
nerships with their countrymen of British stock. And today, with
this battle that is all of Afrikaner history hardly fought, the
demand comes that they submit to a new imperialism, not this
time to the weapons of Europe, but to the numbers of Africa. The
answer, not unnaturally, is no. Unlike the English in India and the
Dutch in Indonesia, the Afrikaner has nowhere else to go. For him
there is no Britain and no Holland to return to; for him no central
shrine of national existence to survive the death of the outposts.
On the soil of Africa he, and with him his history, culture and lan-
guage, stay or perish.” – Schalk Pienaar
