Where does the inequality between white areas and townships come from?

Beautiful Hout Bay destroyed by the Noble Savage

There are few things that I detest, loathe and abhor more than lying feel good liberal idiots. I don’t know exactly what it is about them that gives me such a pain in the butt and make me cringe, but maybe it is not just their lies, but the fact that they believe their own bullshit and love to masochistically flagellate themselves about slavery, colonialism and Apartheid and therefore expect all other whites to do the same and when you refuse you are an insensitive beast and a “racist”.

I come across them every so often and a few weeks ago I was watching a three part German documentary about South Africa from Van Riebeeck until today with some German people.

It just again showed me that one should never assume that other people know history or show logic and common sense, because, take it from me, they don’t.

When it came to the subject of Apartheid, on which I consider myself a learned scholar, the penny dropped. These people were all idiots.

The documentary created the impression that Whites came to South Africa and found blacks living in perfectly well built cities with perfectly developed infrastructure and right from the start, with the arrival of Van Riebeeck, tricked blacks out of all their cattle and possessions.

In fact Harry the Strandloper and his compatriots rolled out the red carpet for Van Riebeeck and his Dutchmen all the way from the Duncan dock up the middle of Adderley Street past the statues they made of him and his wife Maria de la Quellerie to the Company Gardens where they had tea feeding squirrels under an oak tree next to the observatory and the National Museum . Then they proceeded to Greenpoint stadium and watched a soccer match between the Khoi-Khoi and the San before they went to watch an Elton John concert at the Bellville Velodrome before retiring for the night at a hotel on the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront.

About two years later the white Dutchmen chased the poor Strandlopers out of their cities, stole all their houses, stole their livestock, their wealth, their wives, the clothes on their backs, their Nike shoes, their Rolex watches, their…everything…even stole their dignity. Bad, bad Dutchmen.

Without anything left and so poor that they only had loin cloths of animal skins to cover their private parts, these poor Strandlopers were forced out to the outskirts of their former cities where they set up corrugated tin shacks and were forced to work as slaves for the evil white man…And it has been like that ever since. That is how townships were created in South Africa.

Don’t laugh, because I was watching the faces of these shocked Germans during the documentary and they were lapping it all up, shaking their heads in disbelief at how cruel these evil white South Africans could be.

Problem is, like with this stupid documentary, every now and again an idiot liberal or black comes along, creates more bullshit and feeds it to his fellow idiots and is normally fawned over by the one eyed liberal media and its lapdogs on talk radio and other news platforms.

Takes this set of drone photos, taken by one Johnny Miller, apparently showing “Real Inequality” in Cape Town.

These photos show real inequality in Cape Town

Now this Johnny Miller comes on a forum (News24) where there are no comments allowed and says, “I hope that this conversation, similar to the Rhodes Must Fall conversation of last year, contributes to an opening of dialogue and reflexivity on the part of the privileged. “

Where then Johnny? Where should we debate when the comment section on your article is closed? Oh yes…and in your unbiased view… The “privileged” is of course the whites, right?

Continues our “Johnny”…” I’m just saying, “Here it is”, totally unbiased. This is the situation. The photo was taken by a robotic machine 300 meters in the sky. How can that be anything but objective?”

That must be a rhetorical question then, right?

But our Johnny is shocked…very shocked…says he, “This is what shocks me, actually shocks me. That people can actually defend this behaviour as somehow natural, or that it is a choice on the part of the poorer communities (actual comments, multiple times, on the Facebook posts). Of course it’s not a choice. And of course it’s not natural. It is shocking and impossible to defend as a status quo.”

OK…I tell you what John-boy…I like your pictures. Really I do. Three of them caught my eye, namely The Strand, Houtbay and Fishhoek. I am not going to defend the “inequality” or the pictures. I am just going to tell you the truth of what they show and I can assure you it is NOT your bullshit “inequality”.

You see mate. I am old enough to know how these places looked like before the ANC came to power. As a young man, I surfed at Noordhoek Beach and Strand’s Milkbay, I fished and scuba dove off Hout Bay and Kommetjie before you were born.

Back then in the bad old Apartheid era, 1980’s up until 1994 Lwandle/Nomzamo in The Strand were almost nonexistent. There were a few hostels and that was it. There lived maybe 500-1000 migrant workers if that. Now today, there live about 60,000.

Where did they all come from, Johnny??

During the 1980’s Masiphumelele between Fish Hoek and Kommetjie did not even exist. Towards the start of the 1990’s there were about 400-500 people living in Masiphumelele and the name did not even exist. Today it is estimated that about 16,000 to 38,000 people live there.

The same with Imizamo Yethu/ Mandela Park in Houtbay. Oh how I have fond memories of the beautiful Hout Bay without all those shacks we see today. At the start of the 1990’s there was NOTHING there. I even dreamed of one day buying a house and living in Hout Bay. Today I drive through there as quickly as possible, because if you stand still at a red traffic light for too long your tyres will be gone. Nevertheless today there live about 34,000 blacks there on 18 hectares…the size of 36 soccer fields.

Allow me to enlighten you, Sparky.

Prior to the 1994 elections, the ANC bussed in thousands upon thousands of blacks from the Ciskei and Transkei to Cape Town and dumped them in these places with no regard to their health and safety.

Kindly tell me where should all the toilets sewage systems water, roads and other infrastructure come from overnight? Fall out of the damn sky?

Up until 2009 the ANC ruled the Western Cape. They never built anything for these people. To the ANC all that mattered was winning the elections so that they could come to power and steal the country into bankruptcy. They don’t care how many people die of TB, HIV, Typhus, etc…The name of the game the ANC is playing is “Power forever”.

Now today they want to point fingers to the DA who is trying to repair the damage the ANC has done.

So tell me Johnny-boy: Who is responsible for the creation of these townships next to white areas? Who created this inequality you see in your pictures? Nobody but your beloved ANC scum.

However I am very interested in finding out what your solution to achieve “equality” between these two groups is.

Here are some real pictures of Bygone Cape TownNotice how clean the streets were.
