** ** *Who is Terre'blanche? It sounds so French. It reminds the arrival of French Huguenots who ran away from the religious persecutions in France. This takes me back from the period 1652 to 1835 when the migrant and refugee Calvinists Protestants (See lower primary history) from mainly France, Germany and Scotland arrived in South Africa and formed themselves into what is now called the Afrikaners. It is from this history that we have the Afrkaners.* ** *Religious and nationalist wars were fought in South Africa for centuries by the Boer Calvinists, Afrikaners Calvinists and the English. This was a foreign war that plundered this country, opportunistic* *segmentation of South Africa took place during these times. * ** *My point is that Terre'blanche is part of the legacy that sought to plunder (forcefully) and destroy this country. He has been at the helm of preservation of the culture that sought to destroy mankind. A culture that has been enmeshed in some form of imperialist connotations. While I am not rejoicing about his death, but let me reaffirm that the knight of darkness is no more. * ** *I am sad that he passed away without seeing the full successes of a son of the slave. He left a trail of miseries and sufferings; a trail of hatred. He misled his membership for many years, hoping that they will open a new page in their chapter of fiefdom.* ** *His death has closed another chapter in South African political madness and will hopefully bring some glow and hope to the coming generation. *
