The Dark Years Of Apartheid
In A Land Filled With Breathtaking Beauty
Apartheid - Segregation
In 1948 South Africa, the National Party, led by Rev Dr. D. F. Malan, came to power with a manifesto of apartheid (separate development). Although discriminatory policies already existed, this was a systematic categorization and segregation of the population, enshrined in law, with the white group accorded privilege and power.
Belief in racial superiority was expressed in the following D. F. Malan quotation:
'We Afrikaners are not the work of man but the creation of God. It is to us that millions of semi-barbarous blacks look for guidance, justice and the Christian way of life'
Rev. D. F. Malan, the first South African Prime Minister at the beginning of the apartheid era (1948)
Such ugly-minded thinking
was never the creation of God,
but more likely the work of Satan!
Take a look at Afrikaners playing 'Boeremusiek' (farmer music)
- you'd find more signs of life in a morgue:

Now take a look at music played by the rightful owners of the land:
With Afrikaner-rule now removed, here's an uplifting look at life in 2007
