Silent Plans of a South African Genocide?
*Update: Now I posted this almost 3 years ago. Fortunately nothing has happened since but after spending time there, I do see the threat as being possible but maybe not successful.* Also please note that this blog post was written purely from my standpoint based on the research I did. This post should by no means be considered 100% accurate nor serve as any solid evidence for any causes. Please respect eachothers' opinions.
I will be traveling to South Africa from July to about December or so -- living with my significant other who is from there.
Tonight I was informed of a very real threat in South Africa. It is said that there is a planned mass genocide on the white people of South Africa after Nelson Mandela dies. Nelson Mandela supports peace between all Africans....however, after his passes -- thousands upon thousands are expected to flood into the city and blockade the streets of Johannesburg to slaughter the whites. A couple years back, it was said that they did a practice run as it was written on the taxis that came into the city "UHURU" which translates into "Night of the Long Knives" according to them. (also known as Operation Vula/Operation White Clean-up/Operation Iron Eagle/Red October campaign).
They have openly said -- "WAIT UNTIL MANDELA DIES".
The UK supposedly has jet planes ready on stand by for when Mandela dies to pick up many of their residents that live within the country.
BASICALLY - I'm rather terrified. He mentioned this before but it wasn't until now that I've done some research and the threat is more than real...... Mandela is old as dirt now... and will go any day. I arrive there in July and will be there for quite a few months..... once that day comes they will be blockading all petrol stations, airports and all of that. Ugh.

White slaughter
in South Africa?
Plans made to conduct campaign

While former South African President Nelson Mandela, 85, scoffs at rumors of ill health, plans are being made by the nation's Communist Party to slaughter all whites in the country upon his death, G2B sources say.
One of the operations planned entails 70,000 armed black men "being transported to the Johannesburg city center within an hour" in taxicabs to attack whites.
The plans are variously dubbed "Operation Vula," "Night of the Long Knives," "Operation White Clean-up," "Operation Iron Eagle" and "Red October campaign."
Operation "Our Rainy Day" was to be carried out after the death of Nelson Mandela and would have entailed blacks being transported to the largest cities in taxis.
The assailants were expected to "take over" fuel points and massacre whites. The attacks would lead to a coup.
Sources say most blacks in the country are aware of the plans. When racial disputes occur, blacks often tell whites, "Wait until Mandela dies."
"White people in South Africa can deny it to the end of the earth, but we are in real danger," one resident said. "This is no joke and any person with half a brain can see that this rumor has spiraled out of control."
Many whites are now convinced a vicious campaign of ethnic cleansing will follow Mandela's death whenever it comes. Some are making preparations for retreats.
"I have prepared myself and we have a gathering place where we can fortify for four weeks after Mandela's death," said one white South African. "If nothing happens it will be a miracle."
The Red October campaign is allegedly a Communist plot to oust President Thabo Mbeki. Mbeki would be replaced by Cyril Ramaphosa.
"I was starting to think I was going nuts!" said another white South Africa resident. "'Operation Uhuru' or 'Operation White Clean-up' is definitely no rumor. I spoke to someone who told me that some blacks in Zimbabwe have also confirmed that this 'event' will take place. My cousin stays on a farm in Mpumalanga, not too far from Johannesburg. A black police officer in that district told his white colleague that they are going to kill us like flies, and there is nothing we can do about it. And that they also don't care if we know."

What is most disheartening, is that it was reported in February of this year, that Mandela may be extremely ill and in a coma in Mozambique and his death my occur any day now. With the US primarily focused on the war on Iraq, while other genocides are occurring in the world -- they pretty much have no other choice but to turn their heads away from this one as well. We simply do not have the resources to give to something like this if it happens -- too much on our plate thanks to Bush.
Most would just tell the South Africans to run away and flee, however it is easier said than done. They've developed their own country and culture and now day by day since the end of the apartheid, their culture is diminishing. A recent article was written by the Christian Science Monitor about the Afrikaans people. You can't help but feel for them.
Can one honestly say that the masses in SA will calmly think through the consequences of something like UHURU before engaging in rioting and full scale violence. Look at Sudan, Rwanda, Congo, Nigeria, Marocco, Zimbabwe, Moçambique - If that does not show that this can happen in a blink of an eye -- than I don't know what can.
For the optimists looking for Western help - it takes 30 days for international troops to mobilize and arrive in war zones in Europe - how long do you think UN help will take to arrive at the southern tip of Africa to help stabilize things. Hopefully this won't be a reality once Mandela sees his last day.

I am from SA and i dont even know about this! Crazy! Enjoy SA, its a beautiful place and i cant wait to get back!
June 26th, 2007 - 01:50
aaaaaaaaaaaaaah fuck. . . . . . . .
July 12th, 2007 - 09:52
I live in South-Africa and people shouldnt be so damn naive…this can and will happen..open up our eyes and see that sighns that are already there…dont be stupid…be prepared!!!!
December 23rd, 2007 - 19:32
Point 1. Martin Gray wrote a book called ‘For those I loved’. He escaped Triblinka and tried to tell the other Jews in the ghettos of what he had seen, but they did not believe him. They preferred to go about with their eyes shut and to believe the German propaganda. So, he left them and saved his own life.
Point 2. Google the info on the poqo time in SA and see if that does not bring a little truth to what may or may not happen?
Point 3. make up your own mind, but don’t be a fool!!
May 13th, 2008 - 22:27
Hmmm….intelligence? 25 years experience of (South) African mattters? What about some good old paranoia?Uhuru is Swahili and not spoken in RSA, but rather in countries like Tanzania and Kenya….and in parts of Centrala Africa….it means Freedom….
April 13th, 2010 - 22:22
Yes, you have it right, it means “Freedom”, but not in the way you apparently think it’s meant. Try “Freedom from the whites”, how does this change things for you you dumbass!
June 9th, 2008 - 11:58
is this true??? we are fucked
June 12th, 2008 - 15:05
To the best of my knowledge, it goes something like this: Uhuru, the term was born in Kenya in the 60′s, was adapted and implemented to some extent in Rhodesia in the 70′s & has been readapted and imported into the ANC songs and slogans since. If this IS only a conspiracy theory, only a rumour, imagine for a minute that only 2% of the jumping population decide to carry this out… We are in it, so we don’t see it. But the ANC promised all the “have-nots” that they’d have all that the “haves” possess. They did not get that, but have not forgotten. Also, look back at Soviet history. First there were “people’s democracies” but within the first 50 years it became full blown socialism. Because the people wanted more wealth equality. Then we have to remember Russian assistance and influence on the ANC all through the apartheid years. Now we have Z fighting for power with M, but they belong to the same party, or do they? These people have had too little for too long and had too many empty promises made to them, all the while watching the wealth around them. Combine that with mob mentality… Be realistic. Get out while you still can.
June 24th, 2008 - 17:35
Going underground is a damn good idea, especially if you cannot afford to move your family overseas. Problem is, they are disarming whites as we speak. God knows how many active Ak-47s there are freely available to anyone with a few thousand rand and a vicious mentality of hate.
I’ve heard that a great number of black people know about this planned genocide, they know it’s coming. The day people from the townships realise that they outnumber the white folk in nearby towns 10-1 , they will just walk in and kick us out just like they did in Zim. That’s the peaceful approach, which we know isn’t common amongst the sheep.
Also, we all live in these boomed off areas, 1 way in, 1 way out. All they need is a gathering outside a boomed off areas and they can systematically wipe out the whites living in those areas. Cut the phone exchange boxes, no communication, cut the electricity, no power. It’ll be a holocaust.
The ones behind the curtain must be rubbing their hands together knowing their is nothing we can do to prevent this.
My plan, get outta here ASAP, forget your homes, forget your patriotism, forget your bank accounts, GET OUT while you still can.
Peace

‘If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land’
To those who cant run PRAY GOD’S MERCY UPON SOUTH AFRICA…
November 4th, 2008 - 11:58
I cant decide whether to believe this myself, but if it is true then I’m glad I’ve already left SA. If the shit hits the fan, then you guys had better go hide in the bushveld or something and start a guerilla group to hold them off long enough for the UN or NATO to come help out. IF this happens to be true and I suddenly hear about Mandella’s death on the news, I’m grabbin the closest gun and plane ticket to South Africa…
April 13th, 2010 - 22:29
You spoke my mind, I’m already checking airfare and it happens to be cheaper to go down there than back in ’06 which basically tells me no one’s feeling like visiting ‘friendly SA’ so much anymore!!! I heard 40K WC tix had to be refunded around ET’s death and another good 100K after the BBC reporter incident with Malema. Let’s pray to GOD the world open their eyes to what’s happening in SA. I will take the first plane in and help my family get the F out of there but not before getting a chance to ‘participate’ before I say my “F you” before I’m off for good.
March 23rd, 2009 - 04:34
I dont know why people can not believe it could and possibly will happen. Just remember, you are not dealing with ordinary people. They hate whites for a passion. All you need is for a couple of “leaders” to say the “right” words to the masses of savages in the stadiums, with the whole country litterally “switched off” because none of them will be working and all I can foresee is blood flowing in SA. Luckily for my family and I we are on the other side of the Indian ocean in AUS, but we still have friends there. It is just a shame no-one wants to believe that “SAVAGES” are capable and would want to do this. May God be with all the White population when that day comes. I can not believe wjite people can be that naive to think this can not happen.Open your eyes.Look at what a dump SA is turning out to be. They dont care about life, their own or anyone else. Just living in the filth would be and was enough to send me packing and bought our plane tickets. Wake up White South Africa. There is nothing to cling onto anymore over there.
April 7th, 2009 - 19:22
“All you need is for a couple of “leaders” to say the “right” words to the masses of savages in the stadiums,”, how about the ANC president singing “Bring me my machinegun” on each and every ANC election event!
May 4th, 2009 - 14:59
Once again. Move to the WCape. Strategically it’s the safest place to be. (If something like this is real however.)
Blow up a few roads leading in and out, surrounded with mountains, we can take out the few pass roads along those mountains too, we have plenty water and food, I personally know 4 gunsmiths (maybe there are more?) and we have a port or three out of there if needed (we all know the African’s hatred for water – many sadly don’t swim too well.)
Numbers never matter when strategy is the name of the game. It’s more about quality than quantity. More than 100 years ago they tried to pull that shit on us, but we all know what happened don’t we? YES. The Battle of Blood River happened.
Quote: “On 16 December 1838 the Battle of Blood River took place near the Ncome River in KwaZulu Natal. The battle was between the Zulu’s and the Voortrekkers.
About 10 000-20 000 Zulu warriors led by Dingane’s generals Dambuza (Nzobo) and Ndlela kaSompisi attacked the Voortrekkers, but the 470 Voortrekkers, with the advantage of gun powder, warded them off.
The battle began at dawn and was over by midday. More than 3000 Zulu casualties were counted around the laager. Only, 3 Voortrekkers (including Voortrekker leader Pretorius) were wounded, none were killed. The Ncome River became red with the blood of the slain. Hence the river became known as “Blood River”.
BRING IT ON!!!!
September 9th, 2009 - 02:46
I don’t believe there are enough of them to pull something like this off.
However if they did try it, the gloves would come off and it would be the end for blacks and all the other races that are invading white countries around the world.
September 14th, 2009 - 12:25
Well I must say it does sound very scary stuff but where is GOD in all of this? I’m a child of God and the God that I serve and trust in is definitely not going to throw his hands in the air and leave me to the wolves (savages!) With men things are impossible, with God all things are possible so VIVA JESUS!!!
September 24th, 2009 - 13:58
I think all SA living around the world would be on the first plane in to help their fellowmen and families. Its a shame they can’t all live peacefully. Whatever happened to equality.
January 18th, 2010 - 23:58
It is very possible for this to happen. The ANC spurs racism on by calling everything that is white a racist and the ANC voters / supporters believes it. Whites are more racist towards blacks because they vote for the corrupt ANC to be in power. The ANC executives smiles all the way through as they are splashing money like crazy aggravating more whites. How long will they be able to pull this off? I don’t know. The ANC supporters are getting impatient because the crime rate and poverty. Maybe the promise to them was a land without whites. Maybe it’s just until Nelson Mandela dies.
I am in England but my whole family lives there. My dad works in Rosebank and Sandton. God help SA

What a load of peanut butter and jam. I’ve got a ton of ‘black’ and ‘white’ friends here at Varsity. Black friends have heard the name Uhuru but it just seems to be a fad. To instill fear, etc…Also to brainwash foreigners, I mean wtf look at Aus. Aus probably contains the most arrogant, egocentric, stuck-up, mother fu@#%rs on this planet. They think they are the greatest-yet look what they did to the abos and still continue to do! Real wanks. Actually half of them are South African in any case, and whats the first thing a south african does when he emigrates, yeah you guessed it. Bad mouths South Africa, makes it worse then it really seems. If only I could say F You! face to face to those people. Don’t get me wrong i support expat work, etc…but people that over exaggerate situation are real tosses!
Anyways the point I want to make is negative threads like this cause people to become negative, pesimistic, senial, anxious, etc….for what? For some bull crap?
Fine lets be stereotypically here.
Muslims = Pakistanis
Pakistanis = Terrorists
England = 30% made up of Pakistanis
England = boom boom
Seriously you have more of a chance dying in England or America.
If only Aus went boom boom

MartinW you are the savage buddy. You’re pathetic
February 4th, 2010 - 22:40
Mikey, your mates at varsity are not the savages. They don’t hate whites… they all have clean water and roofs over their heads. They don’t mix with what’s going on under the surface. Do you seriously wanna tell me that such an attack is not possible? My wife is from Bosnia, yes Bosnia (former Yugoslavia). My father in-law had to put a little flag outside their house so the Serbians could know which house to burn down. My wife fled with her mom with only the clothes on their backs to Croatia. My father in-law had to witness to most horrific tortures and deaths where he was in a concentration camp for 6 months. Thousands of people were slaughtered, not murdered. Or maybe Mickey this was just a joke or in the dark ages hundreds of years ago? No, 1992! The UN didn’t do much for them… the Serbs got more assistance from them than anyone else. The Hutu attacks on the Tutsi’s in the Rwanda genocide in 1994 was just a good movie, hey Mikey? And off course Uganda. This doesn’t happen in Africa, right? This doesn’t happen in modern days? I am sick of the situation in SA and more so the idiots who pretends that everything is normal there. More people die in SA on a daily basis than in Afghanistan! There is already a war in SA, it is just silenced. For hundreds of years the blacks have been murdering each other. Apartheid came in and worked as far as that violence is concerned. Now the liberals in SA are under the impression that all these tribes together with whites, coloureds and Indians with their difference in culture, religion, race and language can live in peace happily ever after, in AFRICA of all places. Yugoslavia only had a difference in religion. War is inevitable, when it will happen is questionable. I am searching for reasons why this will NOT happen… but I can’t find any. God be with SA.

FORMAL GENOCIDE COMPLAINT
I Snowy Smith of Fair Civil Law lodged an Official Complaint with the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
Formal Complaint GENOCIDE against the ANC GOVERNMENT South Africa.
Promoting Crime, Promoting Racism, Promoting Hatred, Soliciting Murder.
BLACK RACIST HATE CRIMES AGAINST WHITES.
ANC GOVERNMENT South Africa Aiding and Abetting in MURDER, White Farmer Genocide and ALL CRIME.
ANC GOVERNMENT, An Accessory Before the Fact
The South Africa Constitutional Court Ruled that the ANC Government has a ”DUTY OF CARE to Protect ALL its Citizens”.
The ANC Government has Failed and or Refused to Protect ALL its Citizens.
In fact they have turned a Blind Eye to the FARM GENOCIDE which is obviously part of their secret hidden agenda to drive all White Farmers off their land.
Instead of Protecting ALL its Citizens the ANC Government has done the opposite they have passed laws making it very difficult for the Law Abiding Citizens to Protect themselves.
Law Abiding Citizens are sitting ducks when attacked by extremely well armed BLACK MURDERERS who have AK47 also R1 Machine Guns and 9mm pistols.
Inaction and turning a blind eye by the ANC Government is totally unacceptable
AK47 also R1 Machine Guns are “GUNS OF WAR”.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
More WHITE farmers have been MURDERED in South Africa than Zimbabwe
GENOCIDE MORE WHITE FARMERS MURDERED BY BLACK THUGS South Africa
BLACK RACIST HATE CRIMES AGAINST WHITES.
Definitely GENOCIDE.
MORE GENOCIDE – 3110 WHITE FARMERS TORTURED AND BRUTALLY MURDERED BY BLACKS – South Africa since 1994.
More than 100000 Farm Attacks.
More than 35,000 White South Africans Brutally Murdered since 1994.
60 to 149 MURDERS per DAY South Africa
BLACK ON WHITE GENOCIDE South Africa

The breeding ground of prejudice has always been fear and ignorance. Racism is obviously still present in South Africa and the rumour-mongering about a potential genocide is just another form of racism. Not all black people in South Africa want to kill white people; they don’t hate them either. You cannot judge a whole group of people based on the actions of a few of those people. You cannot assume that because a small sect of militant black people are ranting to the media that the whole of South Africa has become demented.
Our country is not made up of backward savages. It is true that there is anger about service delivery and poverty, but this demonstrated in the form of protests against the government. A government that has been made ineffective to its people by corruption not by a conspiracy to kill white people.
The war you talk about is not black against white; it is criminals against the upstanding citizens of South Africa (of all races). The fact that most criminals are black is not evidence of a racial conspiracy, but reflects the racial undercurrent to our income inequality that is a legacy of apartheid.
In addition, there is a definite split in the ANC, which undermines their ability to influence large swathes of the population. The ANC has lost much of the influence it had at the beginning of democracy in spite of its majority. South Africans do not want another apartheid even if it is reverse form; we are not that stupid to believe it will right the wrongs that had been done.
I do generally respect empirical evidence based on the past, but the fact is that South Africa is not Yugoslavia, or Germany. Our country fought the fight differently – not with a war, but economically and politically with sanctions and negotiations. It also did not end with a criminal court, but with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), which gave closure to many South Africans.
We have fought so hard to create a world free of hate and prejudice with possibly one of the more advanced constitutions. This is not some backward state. We have an advanced economy with educated citizens who truly believe that we are equal. Don’t you dare presume to know more about us than we do. There will be no war, because South Africans (the one’s that truly believe that what we fought for is possible) will not let it happen. “Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another.”

Sal, thanks for the laugh. When you wake up, it is going to be quite painful. My thoughts are with you.
April 11th, 2010 - 11:21
All the old bloggers that said this all to be bullshitt to go and read their comments and wake up you stupid bastards……
April 11th, 2010 - 12:57
“Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another.”
Actions speak a lot louder than words.
By law we will indefinitely discriminate against white people in the work place, reserving most jobs for blacks only, because even the young white people born after 1994 are part of the “previously advantaged” group by virtue of the color of their skin; and we will impose heavy fines on any company which employs “too many whites”.
We will deny contracts to any companies that do not have at least an equal amount of,but preferably a majority of black directors. And we will remind them on a weekly basis that they are not welcome in South Africa by calling out in the Parliament, “there are too many whites in…”, “there are too many whites in…”, “there are STILL too many whites…”; and we will continue to demand and demand and demand that companies appoint only blacks in managerial positions and as directors, and we will not stop until there are no white managers or directors left in any company, in any field. We have already successfully caused the majority of qualified, skilled white people to leave our shores by this oppression, and the more who leave the better.
We will continue to impoverish as many whites as possible by excluding them as much as possible from the economy, except where they and they alone have a skilled qualification needed in a certain field, and once they are impoverished, we will exclude them from the free medical care we give to impoverished blacks.
And we will continue to sing our hate-speech “freedom struggle” songs calling on the killing of farmers and whites in order that we may continue to encourage the brutal murders of thousands of white farmers and tens of thousands of whites in their homes in the towns and cities by the uneducated, unskilled, impoverished blacks who we will also keep that way by our own greed, corruption, theft of public funds, gross mismanagement of resources and general high level of incompetence, and we will keep on “educating” these impoverished blacks about “the fact” that it is “because of white oppression” in the days of Apartheid that they are still where they are.
And wherever and whenever we can, we will humiliate white people and make fools out of any white person who dares to stand up publically to complain about our oppression.
So, you see, we have ensured and are ensuring that “Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another.”

I just received an email this morning about the coming disaster in South Africa. I’ve browsed throught a few websites also just to try and get a feel of what everyone was thinking. apparently is it roughly about 7 days away – Uhuru, that is. I’m just wondering how many times does someone cry wolf, before the real wolf is at the door. It seems to get more frequent now also. What is disturbing though is that some of the black officers of the SADF in Bloemfontein – De Brug, has allowed the black troops to paint in really big letter – UHURU on one of the hills. This was in the Volksblad -roughly mid May 2010. The meail that I’ve received this morning confirm some of this stuff. My motto would be in this day – prepare for the worst, and hope for the best and always remember, the boer Afrikaner, were planted here by the grace of God, He did not abondon us, we thought ourselves really clever and abandoned Him. What we sow – we shall reap…

Henk, The period between 11th to 20th of July is a heightened alert time. Not saying attacks over and above nortmal levels on whites WILL occur but this time is one of the possible “triggers”. My advice is to avoid especially Johannesburg and Pretoria during that period. Preferably all major urban areas. As at all other times in SA be aware of the mood around you if you move about, if it feels wrong or looks unusual then get out.
Most of the time you will be safe most places, you can trust the locals in terms of a given situation or given area. Beware though of bravado and a significant UNDERestimating of the general worsening situation by them. The are decensitized in order to pshycologically cope with the stress of living in a permanently unsafe existence.
In so many ways it is a great country, enjoy it! Just keep your wits about you and avoid major urban areas.
