My Trip to Ghana, Africa Last Year
United Planet is a great organization out of Boston that assists volunteers in heading to over 50 countries to provide medical aid, teaching and more. Exactly a year ago I embarked on a journey over to Ghana, Africa and it was definitely a life changing experience. United Planet recently asked me to write a piece for their official blog & newsletter.
Head on over to see what I wrote as well as check out the video compilation I made that they included on another post. (Note: Camera was stolen before the trip so I was using a 3.0 megapixel camera that had no sound! So please excuse the quality).
If any of you folks ever want to do something like this, definitely go through UP - they truly are the organization to go through!
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.

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.
