THIS Will Make ALL South Africans The Moer in! - SA has been plundered for a century, and still is!

For an ENTIRE Century, South Africa has been the World's Largest Gold Producer, by far and bar none! SA has also been in the Top Diamond producers. How much is it and where has it all gone?

After the Boers discovered massive Gold and Diamond deposits in their two internationally recognised independent Boer Republics in the late 1800's, the British made two attempts to annex these Boer Republics. The Brits lost the first Anglo Boer War to only a handful of Boers, great embarrassment, but finally imported 200,000 troops and resorted to a Scorched Earth strategy to brutally conquer the Boer nation in 1902, killing 34,000 women & children in their newly invented concentration camps, forcing the Boer men to surrender.

The "bounty" was more than half the world's Gold reserves and an estimated quarter of the world's Diamond reserves...

...but that was only the beginning of the century long story...

The genocidal ‘scorched earth policy’ was initially introduced by Lord Roberts and later expanded by Horatio Kitchener during the Second Boer War to starve out the Boer guerrilla fighters.

In complying with this policy almost all the Boer homesteads were burned to the ground, livestock killed, crops burned and the women and children were sent to concentration camps. In the camps there were inadequate food and medical services and during 1901 about 25,000 children and 3,000 women died in these camps.

In total, more than 35,000 Boer women and children died. After the war there was an estimated tens of thousands of orphans.

This is where the word "concentration camp" was first used – in British camps that systematically imprisoned more than 115,000 people. In fact, more men, women, and children died of starvation and disease in these camps than did men actually fighting in the Second Boer War of 1899 to 1902, a territorial struggle in South Africa.

By the end of the Boer War, an estimated 46,370 civilians were dead – most of them children. It was the first time in the 20th century that a whole nation was systematically rounded up, imprisoned, and exterminated.

It was a horror that the world had never seen anywhere outside of the Bible. As one woman put it, "Since Old Testament days was ever a whole nation carried captive?"
