  1. In South Africa, the White Boers are being discriminated in every institution because they implement reverse-racism, meaning now the blacks can hurt the white people without prosecution. All the White people of South Africa wants to leave that country.

  2. Judging by the examples he’s using to describe South Africans it’s how Zulu people wants to describe Zimbabweans,Malawi people and many black people
    while they’re busy unaliving black people and looting
    Because horse is faster than me I must not hate the horse

  3. Lady reporter should visit Johannesburg these days to see how South Africa has changed over the years. She just needs some bodyguards well equipped. Of course these white extremists are a little crazy but these were the small minority not representative of white South Africa.
    South Africa today is following the path of Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) once the breadbasket of Africa and now one of the most impoverished countries of the world.

  4. He says "better to die as a free man, then to live as a slave"… meanwhile they are holding the blacks as slaves. Turns out that they also thought it better to die as a free man than to keep living as slaves…
    As a Christian, I'm ashamed and disgusted that they call themselves Christian while treating others so poorly who are created in God's image.

  5. Why are you resurrecting a 36-year-old report about an extremist organisation that was itself opposed to de Klerk, and then using Terre’Blanche's face to represent ‘South African White Nationalists’ in 2026? What contemporary political narrative are you attempting to create by making that association?

  6. Australia is far worse than South Africa. Issues are very open in South Africa at least. The same cannot be said about Australia where racism is a background issue.

    Pathetic from 60 minutes tbf…

  7. The craziest part is in the 90s South Africa had close to 40 million people, these white minorinities wanted to split the country, the crazy blue eyed leader sayin they were 3,5 mil. Holy shit the delusion of white privelege in South Africa should be studied

  8. It's two ways even with GOD. A Blackman can't say he owns everything because that's a crime to do that. It's two ways for Whites and for Blacks. I believe it's Blacks started this evil seperation of Blacks against white nationalities. I believe if White ask for anything it should also be granted with Law. If Black asking for anything they should submit
