Volkstaat - Afrikaner reaction: Encyclopedia II - Volkstaat - Afrikaner reaction

Emigration of citizens, including Afrikaners, from South Africa is at an all time high. Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain and the United States are favourite destinations. This drain of mostly highly qualified and skilled people is making a large impact on the both South Africa in general and Afrikaner communities in particular.

Volkstaat - Afrikaner reaction

While some advocate a violent solution, specifically an organisation called Die Boeremag (Boer force/power), many of the Afrikaner community feel that the best way to safeguard their culture, heritage and people, is through self determination and obtaining minority rights peacefully. They point out that minority rights and seperatism are "hot topics" in current international politics - such as the Palestinians, the Flemish in Belgium, the French-speaking people of Quebec in Canada, the Kurds in Iraq, the Tamils of Sri Lanka and the Basques in Spain.

The majority of Afrikaners still hope that the New South Africa as envisioned by Nelson Mandela, FW de Klerk, Desmond Tutu and Beyers Naude will come to pass, i.e. a South Africa with racial reconcilliation and equal rights. The support that a Volkstaat needs is therefore still largely lacking among Afrikaners, but may grow if the perceived situation persists.
