Met dank van die AVP  aan Mike Smith wat vir dr. Verwoerd intree. Hierdie dwarsklap geld nie net vir Eusebius McKaiser van die ANC nie, maar geld vir elkeen wat neerhalend van ‘n man soos dr. Verwoerd praat en daardeur hulle eie gebrek aan intelligensie demonstreer! Dit is dié soort swaksinnigheid wat besig is om Suid Afrika ten gronde te rig waarop hulle roem, in teenstelling met die hoogtes van groei en voorspoed vir alle rasse waartoe dr. Verwoerd  Suid Afrika opgehef het.

Dit is hier waar wyle mnr. Jaap Marais se stelling dat: “This man was educated beyond his intelligence”, soos ‘n handskoen pas!

In defence of Allister Sparks and the Verwoerd comment - By Mike Smith
10 May 2015

I have three of Allister Spark’s books. I quite like his writing style. He is an utter liberal twat, but he is definitely not stupid.

  As editor of the Rand Daily Mail, he and Helen Zille campaigned furiously against Apartheid. They exposed the death of Steve Biko and the Information scandal where Dr. Eschel Rhoodie and Information Minister Dr. Connie Mulder used money from the defence budget to fight a propaganda war against South Africa. This at the time when the whole world made SA out as the skunk of the world, because of Apartheid.

It wasn’t actually a scandal at all, but it meant the end of Prime Minister John Vorster. Sparks and Zille smiled and tapped each other on the shoulder back then.

These two, Sparks and Zille, were so fanatically anti-Apartheid that they resigned when their bosses at Anglo American told them to tone their hatred for Apartheid down a bit.

At the DA party bash in Port Elizabeth, Allister Sparks tried to pay tribute to Helen Zille, saying that he had the honour to know many intelligent people, including Hendrik Verwoerd, but Zille was the cleverest politician he ever knew.

It caused a shit storm started by coloured journalist and ANC stooge Eusebius McKaiser who immediately smelled weakness in Sparks and challenged him to a public debate.

Verwoerd comment overshadows Zille’s last dance

McKaiser challenges Sparks to public debate

Said, McKaiser: "You do not go to a political party's congress where there is a predominantly black audience and tell them that Verwoerd, the architect of apartheid, was intelligent. We are outraged and we are justified."

McKaiser should not pick on an old liberal softy like Sparks. He should come here and debate ME. I‘m his Huckleberry.

It is clear that McKaiser has not yet read my take on Verwoerd in Opening Pandora’s Apartheid Box - Part 20 - Dr. Verwoerd, Nationalist Visionary, “The most hated man in South Africa” and the success of Nationalism

Seriously, I don’t know what McKaiser’s problem with Spark’s comment is. Does he think Verwoerd was stupid?

Verwoerd was without a doubt the most intelligent Prime Minister/ President this country has ever seen.

Verwoerd studied at the prestigious Afrikaans University of Stellenbosch and as a brilliant student he obtained his BA and his MA degrees magna cum laude. He eventually at the age of 23, obtained his Ph.D in Philosophy that included Psychology in 1924 also cum laude.

In 1925 he arrived in Germany and studied at three German universities namely Leipzig, Hamburg and Berlin. He also travelled Europe and the USA and returned to SA at the age of 26.

Verwoerd spoke several languages including Afrikaans, Dutch, German, English as well as the black languages of Zulu and Shona.

Is that a stupid man, McKaiser? At least Dr. Verwoerd had a REAL Ph.D and didn’t have to lie about it like you did.

I never claimed an Oxford degree – Eusebius McKaiser

You McKaiser, is a low life hypocrite. You go to Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship, were too stupid to make it, dropped out and then come back and support the “Rhodes must fall” campaign at UCT, spitting in the face of the very man who made it possible for the likes of you to study at Oxford in the first place.

Eusebius McKaiser defends his right to support Rhodes must fall campaign

Who is the real stupid one here McKaiser? Verwoerd or the ignorant, drop out and failure that you are? Verwoerd had more brains in his left toe than you in your entire skull.

Verwoerd’s biggest critics were the English speaking press in South Africa, but let us look at what the “Rand Daily Mail” (a sworn enemy of Verwoerd) on 30th of July 1966 wrote about this great man.

“At the age of 65 Dr. Verwoerd has reached the peak of a remarkable career. No other South African Prime Minister has ever been in such a powerful position in the country. He is at the head of a massive majority after a resounding victory at the polls. The nation is suffering from a surfeit of prosperity and he can command almost unlimited funds for all that he needs at present in the way of military defence.

He can claim that South Africa is a shining example of peace in a troubled continent, if only, because overwhelming domestic power can always command peace. Finally, as if that were not enough, he can face the session (of parliament) with the knowledge that, short of an unthinkable show of force by people whom South Africans are rapidly being taught to regard as their enemies, he can snap his fingers at the United Nations.

Thanks to the recent judgement of the Hague Court (on the South West Africa issue) he can afford to condescend to the world body, graciously remaining a member as long as it suits him. Indeed, the Prime Minister has never had it so good.”

Under Verwoerd and his policy of “Separate development (“Apartheid”), the living standards of Blacks were rising at 5,4% per year against that of the whites at 3,9% per year.

In 1965 the economic growth of South Africa was the second highest in the world at 7,9%. The rate of inflation was a mere 2% per annum and the prime interest rate only 3% per annum. Domestic savings were so great that South Africa needed no foreign loans for normal economic expansion.

A few months before Dr. Verwoerd was assassinated, the editor of the British periodical, “Statist”, Paul Bareau, wrote...

“At the rate at which South Africa is now expanding the term „miracle” is likely to be appropriate to its development over the next few years”.

“Time magazine”, eleven days before Dr. Verwoerd’s assassination, wrote,

“South Africa is in the midst of a massive boom. Attracted by cheap labour, a gold backed currency and high profits, investors from all over the world have ploughed money into the country, and the new industries that they have started have sent production, consumption – and the demand for labour – soaring. Such are the proportions of prosperity...”

Even Lord Deedes admitted, “White South Africa grew to become the economic giant of the continent, the other members of the Commonwealth virtually sank into poverty.”

Quotes like these are numerous and a testimony to the success of Dr. Verwoerd’s policy of “Separate development”. These quotes come from sources that were normally extremely hostile to Dr. Verwoerd and South Africa.

What was happening at the time was that Dr. Verwoerd was winning the Cold War all by himself. He was showing the world how successful Nationalism is and he was showing up the failure that Socialism/Communism is.

Verwoerd destroyed the Marxist terrorist onslaught against South Africa by nipping arch Communists (including Mandela) in the bud by arresting them in Rivonia and destroying all their cells in South Africa. By 1965 the ANC and the SA Communist Party was defeated.

And for THAT you hate him, McKaiser. You are nothing but a Communist Apparatchik.

Go on McKaiser. Attack statues like that of Rhodes and remove them like you removed Verwoerd’s statue too. Like I said in Opening Pandora’s box: “Dr Verwoerd does not need any statue of himself. By the time he died he built his own monument which is there for all to see: The Republic of South Africa…”
