The best move I ever made. I am now married to a Canadian girl and have had my first child who I am glad to say will never have South Africa citizenship. I am slowly also working to move my other family members here. People always lament about how beautiful South Africa is. That soppy garbage doesn't get me teary eyed. I've been blown away time and again by the breath taking beauty of British Columbia. Nothing compares to it. Leave for other shores, get your family out and then "burn the ships."

(breytenbach in harpers' magazine 2008) die "wit opposisie" kan sadly sadly sadly nog steeds, na soveel jaar, na wat voel na 'n ewigheid, nog steeds in twee groepe verdeel word: die wat glo god het die wit man uitgekies om oor alles en almal, ja selfs die visse in die see, te heers... en die wat gewoon 'n beter lewe vir almal (including die visse in die see) wil he. maybe this planet is another planet's hell... vergeet wie dit gese het.

En ja, dit is 'n jammerte dat hopeloos te min Christene intellectuals is. Ek het al 'n paar ontmoet maar dit gebeur hopeloos te min. Ek wonder of Volkstaters my menswees bevraagteken…

Maar om jou vraag te beantwoord, ek sal nie juis baie welkom wees in 'n 'Volkstaat' nie so ek sal seker maar moet immigreer ;) Intellectuals kan tog Christene wees.
