  THINKING THEORETICALLY
Afrikaner nationalism and the comparative theory of the politics of identity.
As I have shown elsewhere, Afrikaner nationalism collapsed long before FW de Klerk's announcement of the unbanning of the ANC and the freeing of Nelson Mandela on 2 February, 1990.
Afrikaner nationalism ruptured under the weight of the recession of the 1970s, the debacle of the first SADF invasion of Angola in 1975, and the 1976 Soweto revolt.

 Afrikaner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This event split the Afrikaner population: the Trekboer-descended Afrikaners participating in the exodus were later called 'Voortrekkers', while the Afrikaners centered mainly in the western Cape who remained, were misleadingly referred to by British settlers as the 'Cape Dutch'.
Many Afrikaners objected to the use of the “children from the concentration camps” to attack the Afrikaner-friendly Germans, resulting in the Maritz Rebellion of 1914, which was quickly quelled by the government forces.
Some Afrikaners feel that their language and culture face a serious threat in post-apartheid South Africa, due to the relatively small population of Afrikaners, the dominance of the English language and their lack of political power.

 Die Roepstem - Agtergrondartikel Genootskap van Regte Afrikaners
DIE regstreekse oorsaak van die stigting van die Genootskap van Regte Afrikaners was te danke aan een man, Arnoldus Pannevis -- taalkenner, leermeester, primêre grondlegger van Afrikaans as kultuurtaal.
Vir hierdie taalbesieldes het dit gegaan oor lewenstyl, wat onafhanklikheid van gees is. 'n Bloedlyn wat ver terug loop in die verlede, van 'n lang geskiedenis van verset teen dwingelandy.
Die linkervleuel van die gebou was ook vir lank die woning van seker die mees gineale man wat Suid-afrika opgelewer het - SJ du Toit.

 Daniël Francois Malherbe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
He was born on 28 May 1881 in Dal Josafat in the Cape Colony, to P. Malherbe, a founder of the Genootskap vir Regte Afrikaners (Society for Real Afrikaners).
He did not strive to portray his characters realistically in their immediate environment, but rather communicated his philosophy and ideals, which were largely rooted in his intense sympathy for the Afrikaner nation in their battle for nationhood.
In Vir Vryheid (For Freedom), published in 1919, he denotes ideal freedom by referring to the Great Trek, but his most successful poem is Die timmerman (The handyman), written in 1921.

The African National Congress salutes the achievements made in the development of Afrikaans as a home-grown African language in the 130 years since the formation of the 'Genootskap vir Regte Afrikaners' (GRA).
Formed on 14 August 1875, the GRA aimed to elevate the status of Afrikaans to a written language, thereby initiating the development of Afrikaans into a mainstream language in South Africa, which is internationally recognised.
Through the implementation of its policies and programmes, the ANC will continue to ensure that the rights of all South African languages are respected and that their equal promotion is encouraged and properly resourced.

Diegene wat dink of wens dat afrikaans sal verdwyn, of besig is om uit te sterf, moet maar rustig verder droom.
Afrikaans soos ons hom vandag praat, met sy streeks verskille, is al ingebruik vir 130 jaar, en 'het nog 200 jaar geskiedenis alvorens ons werklik weer terug is by Nedelands (of te wel Hollands).

The 1975 Soweto riots coinciding with the centenary of the Genootskap van Regte Afrikaners (1.) triggered a heated discussion on the future of Afrikaans in a democratised multilingual South Africa.
The aim of turning the White Afrikaners into a close-knit community sharing in a common cultural imagery, which itself could be strong enough to fend off the "English menace", motivated the creation of a new standard language, i.e.

 Background and history of Boer-Afrikaner organisations in SA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The AVF had achieved a remarkable measure of success, combining virtually all the para-miltary and political strength of the Boer-Afrikaner nation in a single umbrella organisation, the AVF was regarded as perhaps the single most serious threat to a peaceful transition.
The BVB may be regarded as the forerunner of the EK25/Vekom/Cog grouping that led to the establishment of the AVF in May 1993.
The formation of the Afrikaner Volksfront later that year, the general acceptance in Boer-Afrikaner nation circles of the Volkstaat- ideal, the death of Treurnicht, the election of the apparently more assertive Hartzenberg and a new militancy right across the political spectrum, flogged the ailing horse into some kind of life once again.

 ANC Today Vol.5 No.33, 19 August 2005
In the midst of the challenge of promoting those African languages that have historically been neglected are expressions of concern from some quarters about the status of Afrikaans - a language that, like English, has historically been privileged.
In his NGC address, President Mbeki said: "It is clear that there is serious concern among certainly some sections of the Afrikaner population that the democratic order is acting in a manner that results in the marginalisation or diminution of the Afrikaans language."
While the ANC may contest this assertion, he said the organisation would nevertheless have to recognise the fact that it is a matter of concern to some of our people, and must therefore be addressed in the context of the challenge facing all South Africa's languages.
