BULALA A TRUE STORY OF SOUTH AFRICA

BULALA Tagati!*
A True Story of South Africa
by Cuan Elgin
“This book is in stark contrast to those that have gone before it. For the first time South Africa’s history is depicted as it really was—shorn of politically correct evaluations and comment. With real people, incidents and events it tells the real and brutal story of the taming of a harsh, yet beautiful land. The blood and the battles, the dust and the sounds and smells all paint a most vivid picture. Anyone who reads this book cannot fail to understand more of the real dynamics of Africa: its cruelty, harshness, and unforgiving nature is stripped bare in Bulala . . . Read it and think again.” — David Taylor, New Zealand

[* "BULALA abaTagati" means in Zulu, "Kill the Wizards!" These were the words Zulu king Dingane used in 1838, when ordering his bodyguards to execute the Boer emmissaries, shortly after their mutual signing of a land treaty.]
“If you haven’t yet read this book, then you are missing out on an epic of not only great sensitivity, but also of accounts of many betrayals so ghastly as to set your teeth on edge!
This should be read by not only ALL South Africans of ALL colour, but also by people of other Nations who are not aware of our history. Cuan Elgin has a gift of attention to detail which is quite remarkable in a man so young and his ability to feel the heart of a woman is truly remarkable.
His great faith in God is very evident as he embroiders this narrative richly with not only his own faith, but also that of the forefathers of this Nation who dared to trust their God even in the face of such desperate circumstances.
If only one of his intentions in writing this history of our Nation, is to remind us of the kind of mettle and courage and bravery of the men and women who opened up our land with their own blood and tears, then he has succeeded!” – An endorsement by Lolah Peel
392 pages (including 3 maps), paperback.
The gripping tale of the beginnings of a small, brave, Christian nation born of both extremes of the emotional spectrum: conflict, turmoil, and tragedy as well as love, dedication, and adventure—this exciting historical account of the history of South Africa (from earliest times to the end of the 2nd Anglo-Boer War at the dawn of the 20th Century) is woven as a rich tapestry into the form of a novel.

Author of Bulala – Cuan Elgin
Dutch, English, French Huguenot, German, Indian, Irish, Khoi, Malay, Portuguese, Scots, Xhosa, Zulu, and other peoples struggle with and against each other in this factual account, which depicts the events as they happened, as well as the beliefs in the hearts and the thoughts in the minds of those people during those times—yet while this moving saga reveals how and why things were done as they were, it does so without condemning or condoning behaviour. The reader is free to draw their own conclusions and do their own moralizing.
Deeply researched, the Scottish-Irish-descended South African-born author travelled over 15,500 miles [25,000 km.] across South Africa to every historical site mentioned in the narrative, in his first-hand investigative research. You will learn, laugh, and cry—but more importantly, understand the actual events which transpired in this controversial, southern-most African nation, without the bias of the media or the pressured slant of special-interest groups.
Apart from being so highly entertaining that you will find it hard to put this book down, the historically accurate presentation will allow the non-South African reader to understand South Africa as well as it can possibly be understood by an outsider. Further, modern nations may possibly learn some lessons and avoid similar pitfalls which may threaten their domestic tranquility.
Read “Bulala” and think again!
In my opinion “Bulala” is probably the most important, most authoritative and best researched book on the history of South Africa ever written. Anyone truly interested in the true history of South Africa and those invincible Boers must read this book. Bulala is the bible of South African history. – Toxinews
I fully endorse this book and its writer Cuan Elgin, for that matter I urge to buy this book and read it, when you have done reading it give it to your children to read so that they can have a better understanding of their history! Read this book and then read it again! Then see with new eyes!

WHERE DID THE BOOK TITLE ‘BULALA’ (Zulu for “kill/destroy”) ORIGINATE?
As I say in the Preface to BULALA, it occurred to me that if I first published a book exposing the creeping genocide of our people, most of ‘The World’ would not give a damn: “Just getting what they deserve… because of Apartheid.”
So the rationale for publishing a story of our history first, and then the modern-day story as a sequel, thus came about, to show the continuity of our righteous struggle to survive.
The first “Bulala” in the story is of course Zulu king Dingane’s traitorous order to murder the Boer emmissaries in 1838; the 2nd is British Capt Alfred “Bulala” Taylor & his murders of unarmed Boers during the 2nd Anglo-Boer War, and the 3rd “Bulala” is what convicted terrorist Nelson Mandela & his communist henchmen sing in “Bulala amaBuhnu/Kill the Boers” to this very day.
An extract from BULALA:
The ANC’s (African National Congress) communist-trained “militant wing” of this “black liberation struggle,” was a group called Mkhonto weSizwe (MK), meaning, the “Spear of the Nation.”
This “liberationist” organization would torture and execute hundreds of blacks within their own camps, in the “frontline states” (Angola, Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe) who were suspected as “traitors.” This declared terrorist group, based to the north of the white republic, planted land-mines on South African farm roads, and detonated limpet-mines and car bombs in towns, indiscriminately killing and maiming innocent civilians (both black and white). Yet they never actually confronted the white army in South Africa in battle.
In the “frontline state” of Angola, most of the real fighting against the whites was done for the black “liberation forces” by 50,000 Cuban troops, outfitted with Russian tanks and Mig fighter-aircraft, which culminated in a stalemate, at the hard-fought Battle of Cuito Cuanivale, in October of 1987.
The San-Bushmen of Namibia, the original inhabitants of that desert land (many of whom had acted as trackers for the South African Army), were dispossessed of their allotted homeland there by the incoming black government, as a “punishment” for that allegiance. Notably, many moderate black Namibian troops also fought alongside the white troops, against the Marxist-led and Cuban-backed infiltrators from Angola, the Owambo, who now have a majority in the new Namibian government.
The strongly Calvanistic, Christian white African nation endured; preferring to live as an independent ethnic minority under virtual siege—declared an enemy of the world—than to capitulate to a communist-backed, black majority rule and turn their backs on their God and their very heritage. The Apartheid era itself would last a mere 40 years: one generation —considerably less than the 70 years that the people of Eastern Europe suffered under the heel of communism.
Yet, the white Afrikaners reasoned, Apartheid was not some foreign institution imposed upon some other nation, as was the case with communism; it was essentially the “House Rules” a sovereign people established to maintain law and order in their own nation.
The primary reason Apartheid was instituted was the absolute refusal of the whites to have blacks living permanently within their towns and suburbs. Seeing how the blacks lived in their own villages—and obeying God’s command to “be separate,” the Afrikaners legislated Apartheid to preserve the integrity and safety of their own nation and people.
Further, the Afrikaners, being a Christian people, would not allow dark-arts practicing nonbelievers to live among them; since centuries of missionary efforts, they argued, had produced no real moral advancement or notable spiritual change in the majority of the black peoples of South Africa.
Yet the albatross of infamy engendered by “the legacy of Apartheid” would forever be dredged up by the incoming ANC to stigmatize and discriminate against all whites—and to then justify the passing of legislation to dispossess skilled white South Africans of their jobs, and white farmers of their land, even 2 decades after the whites themselves had abolished the policy of Apartheid. Hypocritically, the blacks now began to impose similar discriminatory legislation against the ethnic-minority whites;
but now that “the tables had been turned,” such racial discrimination was considered to be a good thing!
FOR THOSE WHO WONDER IF I WROTE ‘BULALA’ TO “MAKE MONEY”
Cuan Elgin-741102
I have only recovered a fraction of the cost (in time=money & cash) that I invested in BULALA, but as the ‘Preface to the Reader’ explains, I wrote it to let the world know who & what we are, where we came from, what we sacrificed to build South Africa, and how we now find ourselves in this situation; strangers in our own land.
BULALA is actually a ‘prequel’ as I originally started writing a modern-day political novel exposing the thousands of brutal farm-murders since the communist takeover (a book still only 2/3 done… things are developing so fast now!) but then I realized that ‘the world’ would simply say, “but you’re just getting what you deserve… because of apartheid”, so I shelved that story, until I could first tell of our origins.
I struggled to get BULALA onto bookshelves alongside the scores of books that tell only one side of the story of South Africa, but I kept trying. I couldn’t find a South African publisher brave enough to take it on, so had to go via the USA first, and then print locally. Reader feedback has been 99% positive, I am pleased to say.
Incidentally, I attended a book fair in Cape Town about 2 years ago, and saw a publisher’s fancy stall selling boxed sets of “Heroes of the Struggle”. I asked them if these included the Boer generals; heroes of the struggle against British imperialism.
They thought I was nuts…
Johann Hamman [renowned Battle Fields Guide] says: Writing a book for public consumption in this country is like starting a coffee shop in Ethiopia. It will be an epic struggle to reach the publishing deadline, a nonstop argument with idiot editors and book selectors, and an obscene amount of money to get the first edition anywhere near readiness and countless arguments with morons who want to tell you what you should have written. I have read Bulala. Cuan Elgin gave me a copy and graciously inscribed it to me as a Son of Africa. It does not matter what you write in any book. If it does not meet mainstream ideas… you will not get past it. Bulala is a cracking read and a historical novel. It is not an academic work. Go read it……our story is a spellbinding tale that will bend hearts, no matter how you clothe it….Take a bow, Mr. Elgin.
IT’S THE SAME OLD CRY, “AFRICA FOR AFRICANS!”
“AFRICA FOR AFRICANS!”
Yet, somehow it seems that “Europe is for anyone!” and thus anyone can move there and live off the generosity of European taxpayers.
Has it occurred to black Africans (those who claim one has to be “black” ie. negroid, to be an African), that the North Africans (who have an unbroken 5 000-year written history there) are largely of Arabic origin?
Extract from BULALA:
The Afrikaner-Boers have of course, every right to now call themselves an African “tribe”—and to demand recognition as such. The Zulus, Xhosas or Sothos can not claim to be any older as a distinct tribe in the region than could the Afrikaners. The Zulu tribe itself was only an insignificant clan until Shaka made them an (assimilated) nation in the 1820′s, and the Xhosas (an earlier offshoot) are not much older: both “originated” out of the forced consolidation of many branches of Nguni-speaking Bantu. The Boers too, though a “tribe” formed from many different European “tribes,” are by now as “African” as any black tribesmen—and are, like the Bantu, descended from many a common ancestor (the very definition of a “tribe”), hence their many common surnames.
They have also been settled, at least in the huge area loosely called “The Cape,” for over 360 years; more than a century longer than any Bantu tribe. The TRANSVAAL and the ORANGE FREE STATE had been “cleared” for their occupation by Mzilikaze’s genocides, until the Matabele and Mzilikaze himself were, in turn, “cleared” from the area by the Boers. The Afrikaner-Boers then developed what was essentially a barren wasteland, into a veritable Utopia; by their blood, sweat and tears.

SO NOW WE HAVE PROPHESY?

I don’t usually wade into the arena of religion and prophesies as I don’t feel I am qualified to “preach” to anyone, as my life is by no means a shining beacon of riotousness?
But seeing as the butt plug prophet Joshua in Nigeria has jumped into our little political cauldron I may as well join him in the melting pot that is South Africa and see what happens. So the “mighty” prophet Joshua has now prophesied that the young blacks of South Africa will rise up and start a bloody revolution, more than likely headed by Julius or so he would like to believe.
So what should I think of all this? Not much actually, in my opinion its just another blast of hot air from Juju and the morons that support him. I have never really been big on prophesy, I am more of a can do kind of person and leave the prophesying to those that are qualified to do so. That being said however, I do have some thoughts on the matter, but please don’t stone me as I do not fancy myself a preacher and this is just my opinion.
The way I see it all these black savages are the “children of Ham” or as my bible says “die kinders van Gam” and after laughing at a true man of God who followed Gods word to the letter, Gods saw fit to punish “Ham” or “Gam” for mocking a man of God. This punishment as presented in my well worn Afrikaans bible is as follows – “kneg van n kneg sal jy bly tot in die ewigheid!” which translates to “servant of a servant you will be forever” these are the words of the almighty God! The same God the your butt plug prophet claims to serve? Let me run that by you again – servant of a servant you will be forever! Not President over the Boere Volk!! Not retarded red beret wearing self styled dictator!! Oh eh he! Kind van Gam jy is besig met kak!! So in doing what you are doing you are challenging the authority of the Almighty God!! Good luck with that! Not something I would attempt, considering all I have read about floods and fire and brimstone!!
Then of course we have our own prophet, my name sake “Siener van Rensburg” who clearly stated that the Boer Volk will return to its knees and focus on him and he will destroy their enemies beneath his feet!! So as I said before I am not big on prophesy but if this is the game you want to play then I will see you white genocide and raise you one black cleansing of “crusader” proportions!! And its not just here, its all over the world, white people are getting tired of your genocide’s and jihads and soon we will all be returning to the old ways of the Viking beserker at which point you will beg for the days when you were just a servant of a servant!
Now I know this blog is going to elicit a lot of angry comments, but hey, the facts are what they are! I am by no means a radical, I am just tired of being stepped on because of the color of my skin! NO MORE! TOT HIER TOE EN NIE VERDER NIE!! Think carefully before proceeding along this path you have chosen for you will start a war that can not be stopped! The war to end all wars! And when it finally runs its course you and your kind will be a distant memory that will not be spoken of while we rebuild the world the way it was meant to be.

Lack of Public Works maintenance costing the SANDF millions

A long history of dissatisfaction about the lack of priority given to maintenance of military bases and facilities by the Department of Public Works (DPW) has come to a head as a result of 10 months of self-supplied electricity at AFB Makhado.

This has seen the base’s operational funding diverted to fuel generators to supply power. A large portion of this funding was allocated to maintenance and flying hours for 2 Squadron Gripens and 85 Combat Flying School Hawk Mk120s Afrikaans daily Beeld reports.

The main electricity supply station at the base has been out of order since October. It exploded apparently due to a lack of regular maintenance and the base has since then had to rely on generators for power.

It is estimated it will cost up to R5 million to repair the power supply station but the SA Air Force (SAAF), as the operator of the base, is not allowed to appoint a contractor to do the work. This is because it is the responsibility of DPW.

Senior SAAF officers confirmed to both Beeld and defenceWeb that an urgent funds injection of at least R300 million was needed to restore normality at AFB Makhado. This will see the base’s power supply reconnected and also enable funds currently going to power generation to be put to their original allocation that of maintenance of the high-tech jet aircraft based there.

An additional R500 million is also required to prevent the SAAF having to possibly even lose the ability to keep the Gripens, Hawks and other air assets, including the Agusta A109 helicopters airworthy.

“This money is needed within the next eight months or these aircraft won’t take to the air again,” one officer said on condition of anonymity.

Twelve of 2 Squadron’s 26 Gripens have already been mothballed and the miniscule allocation for A109 flying hours could see 18 pilots lose their currency ratings on the rotorcraft. According to reports the majority of the A109 fleet is basically grounded with engine and system start-ups done from time to time in an attempt to keep them airworthy.

To date in the region of R50 million has been spent on proving generator power for AFB Makhado. This money could have paid for 300 Gripen flying hours.

Unhappiness with the lack of response from DPW as far as maintenance of military bases and facilities goes back at least five years to when current SA National Defence Force (SANDF) Chief General Solly Shoke was SA Army Chief. He resuscitated the Works Regiment in an attempt to provide at least some base and facility maintenance within the military establishment. This was later expanded to a Works Formation that would provide much-needed construction and allied services to the entire SANDF.

It is said to be in the finalisation stage of appointments and taskings as well as establishing provincial units ahead of full operations.

Shoke has reportedly taken personal charge of rectifying the AFB Makhado situation and has met with chiefs of all four arms of service and DPW officials to state “for once and all” the SANDF’s case as regards DPW’s obligations to it.

Human Waste In Rivers Used To Irrigate Crops In South Africa

Bacteria-riddled river water used to irrigate most fresh produce in South Africa poses an extreme health risk.

The river water contains levels of E.coli bacteria that are as much as 10 000 times more than allowed by the World Health Organisation and the Department of Water Affairs, according to a study report obtained by The Times.
Not only is this dangerous for people but it might have a highly damaging effect on this country's international trading status and cause a suspension of exports of fruit and vegetables, the report warns.
The extensive research project was launched in 2007 amid growing concern that South African river water used for irrigating crops no longer met export standards set by the EU for fresh produce, or international health standards.
Professor Trevor Britz, of the food sciences department at Stellenbosch University, who led the R5-million study commissioned by the National Water Research Commission, called the situation "dangerous".
"If you fall into that water, you will die," he said of some rivers.
Microbial samples were taken from rivers regularly used to irrigate agricultural produce, such as the Eerste, Plankenbrug, Mosselbank and Berg rivers in Western Cape, the Baynespruit River in KwaZulu-Natal, the Mutshedzi River in Limpopo, the irrigation canal from Loskop Dam, the Olifants and Wilge rivers in Mpumalanga, Skeerpoort in North West and Gauteng's Klip River.
The rivers tested run through major agricultural communities such as Mpumalanga's Groblersdal - where citrus, table grapes, maize, wheat, vegetables, sunflower seeds, peanuts, lucerne and peaches are grown - and Stellenbosch, where grapes, pears, citrus, lettuces, strawberries, peppers, herbs and green beans are at risk.
Farmers pump water direct from the rivers and, without treating it, irrigate crops.
Researchers found that:
Human excrement, in particular, is severely polluting rivers;
In the Plankenbrug and Mosselbank rivers, near Stellenbosch, high concentrations of faecal indicators were present in more than 70% of the samples, and to a lesser extent in the Eerste and Berg rivers;
Concentrations of more than 1million microbes per 100ml of water were often measured. This compares with WHO and Department of Water Affairs guidelines, which state that levels of E.coli in irrigation water should not exceed 1000 per 100ml;
More than 30 types of bacteria and 180 phenotypic variations of E.coli were found; and
Other potential pathogens, such as staphylococci (responsible for food poisoning), Klebsiella (respiratory infections), Listeria (listeria infections) and salmonella (food poisoning, diarrhoea and kidney failure) were also found.
E.coli infections can lead to diarrhoea, dehydration and, in extreme cases, kidney failure and death.
Britz advised consumers to wash fruit and vegetables in sterilising fluid before eating them.
He said the risk of an infection from contaminated fresh produce could be illustrated by the 2011 E.coli outbreak in Europe, which resulted in at least 50 deaths and more than 4000 people becoming seriously ill.
In that instance, Germany had imported bean sprouts irrigated with contaminated water in Spain.
Many of the rivers tested in the South African survey are used daily by thousands of people for water sports and fishing. Some communities use the water for bathing and drinking.
Britz said "the whole" of Stellenbosch, and especially communties downstream from the town - including wine farms - were exposed to contaminated water from the Plankenbrug River.
In Mpumalanga, Groblersdal is fed by water from the Loskop Dam and vast crops of vegetables are irrigated with polluted water.
In a separate study of the Vaal River, high levels of E.coli were found in the dry months, but the bacteria were washed away during the rainy seasons, Britz said.
The pollution was caused by the poor management of sewage-treatment facilities, which leaked raw sewage into the rivers, as well as by the lack of ablution facilities in informal settlements, he said.
Popo Maja, spokesman for the Department of Health, said it had not examined the study results.
Sputnik Ratau, spokesman for the Department of Water Affairs, said that his department would respond after studying the report. "We shall interrogate the contents, also considering our normal inspections of river health and work of the Blue Scorpions."
