Power blackouts in South Africa
Patrick Cleburn – V Dare May 4, 2023
On March 29, 2023, Lay Of The Land, a webzine saying it supplies
Reliable reportage and insightful commentary on the Middle East by seasoned journalists from the region and beyond
rather curiously posted SOUTH AFRICA AT WAR WITH ITSELF by Michael Witkin, a native of Cape Town South Africa who has been resident in America for some 40 years.
I surmise that this eloquent and devastating article could not find an outlet in the MSM or at least some less obscure webzine. H/T Lay Of The Land.
SOUTH AFRICA AT WAR WITH ITSELF https://t.co/t44oFlWyke
— 🦁Lay Of The Land (@LayOfTheLand5) March 29, 2023
This essay is a lesson for America. It is about Cape Town, on the southern tip of Africa, which was founded in 1653 by the Dutch—and so the oldest White settlement in sub-Saharan Africa. (The Dutch founded New York in 1624.)
The conventional wisdom after the end of white rule in South Africa in the early ‘90s was that because the Democratic Alliance, the only major party with substantial white participation, was elected to govern both the city of Cape Town and the province, it would be protected from the worst effects of black rule in the rest of the country.
On the basis of Michael Witkin’s article, the rest of South Africa is an extreme catastrophe.
A large part of the essay is devoted to ‘Ruin Porn,’ a genre which had a vogue pertaining to American cities about 15 years ago, but which has since been largely Cancelled. To anyone who knew Cape Town under white rule the pictures are chilling. Particularly poignant is Witkin’s lament:
I visited the Hebrew school that I had attended in Claremont, a suburb of Cape Town, as a young boy. A building now that has been totally defiled, abandoned and eerie…
I peered through the ubiquitous razor wire fence; a child’s swing swayed gently in the summer breeze. I remember a time when the nursery school playground bustled with the clamor of children’s laughter. Now all I could see were shadows and figures in the landscape wreaking havoc; with the stench of putrefying trash adding to the setting.
Witkin is particularly eloquent on the collapse of South Africa’s infrastructure services:
Besides the non-existence of South African Airways, which was one of the finest airline companies in the world, the postal service is almost nonexistent. The postal workers rifle through the mail opening up letters and parcels and help themselves to whatever they can find.
A 1969 South African Airways ad.
(In the late ‘80s SAA was one of the strongest long-distance carriers in the world. The Wikipedia article dealing with its demise is almost comical (at present). Amongst many other atrocities:
SAA has been accused of racism for rejecting white cadet pilots on the grounds of race, who met the educational and physical criteria. By filling out several dummy applications, journalists from the newspaper Beeld established that the online form had been programmed to reject any white applicants.
Witkin is (correctly) particularly exercised about the demise of ESCOM, the State monopoly electricity supplier:
Besides no airlines, no postal service and no trains, there is a dwindling electricity supply. They have rolling blackouts, euphemistically called “load shedding” which can last as much as 10 hours per day in Cape Town. Johannesburg is worse…
Without electricity there is no viable economy. Retail stores, restaurants, businesses and factories cannot operate….Little maintenance has been done and with a large increase in the population (mostly emigres from other African countries) they have not kept up with the need to build additional power plants.
I discussed the ESCOM situation in U.S. Giving $8 Billion To South Africa For Green Power—How Much For The Big Guy? ESCOM managed a 10-fold expansion under Apartheid South Africa (1948-1994) and had an impeccable overseas credit rating. There is remarkable multiracial agreement on the cause of ESCOM’s demise. From my essay linked to above:
Eskom board member and former Altron CEO Mteto Nyati warned that empowerment rules hamper Eskom’s performance…
He added that affirmative action is hampering Eskom’s ability to employ skilled people who can fix the company.
and
Eskom generation executive Rhulani Mathebula said Eskom’s biggest problem is fraud and corruption.
The problems include people stealing coal and diesel, damaging plants to get maintenance contracts, and delivering the wrong spares and equipment.
To his credit, Michael Witkin spares a tear for the lot of the desperately poor white underclass which has been precipitated by the anti-white discrimination now ruling in South Africa. He mentions, but for some reason does not link to You don’t need to die to see hell, just visit a white slum in South Africa, by Sohil Sinha, TFI Global, July 13, 2021. Significantly, this is an Indian webzine. (It seems there is a market for anti-white porn.)
Also to his credit, he deplores the ongoing massacre of white Afrikaner farmers:
A large number of South Africa’s farmers are Afrikaners who unbeknownst to the outside world have been brutally murdered, their wives tortured and raped; their children shot. The government fails to offer any protection to its white farmers and there was a popular EFP (Economic Freedom Party) song, called “Kill the Boer” that the Equality Court ruled “does not constitute hate speech”.
VDare.com has tried to keep up with this ongoing atrocity.
What is immediately relevant to America is Witkin’s grasp of the crippling effect of Affirmative Action in South Africa:
…the Rainbow Nation does not exist. “Equal opportunity” for whites does not exist. In fact, the abused minority of whites are discriminated against rigorously.
Blacks get preferential treatment in employment, education and other areas. A white male is less likely to get a job over a black male. In fact, employment equity laws make it harder for whites to get work. Jobs in upper management go to blacks further ostracizing whites, and in a sense, sentencing them to more menial employment with the inability to use their talents to further themselves.
While “Strict quotas are enforced for the degree in medicine and surgery. The intake of white students is capped at 2%” (Solidariteit Mar 26, 2022), there is a huge shortage of doctors and qualified medical personnel.
(According to Wikipedia the latest census (2011!) says whites are 8.9% of the population.)
Of course this is a completely familiar and predictable story for alert American readers. In fact it began here about 20 years earlier in this country as blacks began to take over the government of major American cities. Paul Kersey exhaustively documented this in
“Learn, Whitey, Learn!”—Paul Kersey’s ESCAPE FROM DETROIT
and
“The Tragic City”—Birmingham AL After 50 Years. Coming To An America Near You?
and many times since.
In this country this problem is (or was) occasionally moderated by the influence of the Federal Government (Charlotte Needs New Mayor: ”Before Voting For A Black Politician…”). But in South Africa there is no such force.
For me there is no reason to go further than J.P. Rushton’s definitive article for us I.Q.: Why Africa is Africa—and Haiti Haiti. This was put very pithily (and at considerable personal cost) in 2017 by Marc Faber:
…thank God white people populated America, and not the blacks. Otherwise, the US would look like Zimbabwe, which it might look like one day anyway, but at least America enjoyed 200 years in the economic and political sun under white majority.
I am not a racist, but the reality—no matter how politically incorrect—needs to be spelled out as well. (And let’s not forget that the African tribal heads were more than happy to sell their own slaves to white, black and Arab slave dealers.)
Marc Faber on Zimbabwe: Quite Right Of Course. Here’s Why
There is simply no objective evidence that blacks can operate a complex society like whites or Asians.
Unfortunately two more subjects that Americans urgently need to consider.
The first is the culpability of South Africa’s Jewish community in this disaster. Most of them arrived from Eastern Europe in time to participate in the late 19th century boom in South Africa driven by the great gold discoveries of that time. They were tolerated by the pragmatic Anglophone business community and even respected by the Afrikaners, who as Fundamentalist Christians raised on the Old Testament accepted that they were the Chosen People.
Jews immediately became active in the South African Communist Party, but more important were generally the driving force in leftist opinion in South Africa. This was exemplified by Helen Suzman, for 13 years (1961-74) the only MP for the Progressive Party , vigorously denouncing white rule—to the delight of the Western (and Communist bloc) Media. And in the social interactions within the close white community they were very effective.
But what was the alternative? The alternative was the disaster vividly described by Michael Witkin. And having helped to set South Africa on its catastrophic course, most of them left.
This makes me wonder about Jewish political judgement. Are they capable of nation building? I know Israel has just celebrated its 75th anniversary, but 75 years is nothing in the sweep of History. The Crusader States lasted almost 200 years.
I have to suggest that Jewish political activity in America must be viewed from this perspective.
The second question is how on earth did the Afrikaners—the majority of the White community who controlled South Africa from 1948—allow this to happen? Their political vehicle, the National Party, founded in 1914, was explicitly an ethnic particularist outfit devoted to the interests of their people.
After all, this disaster was totally predictable. Apart from the wisdom of centuries about blacks and their own 300-year experience, observations of post-colonial Africa from the 1960s—particularly the utter collapse in the Congo indicated what would happen. This is why the Rhodesians held out for 11 years against the whole world: see Trump On South Africa—Brimelow On Rhodesia.
So what happened? I believe the top leaders were bribed. I do have some personal information to this effect. But consider:
Merkel: Gone Mad—Or Bribed? GOP Example Suggests The Latter
and
remember what Nutenyahu said
“Palestine today tomorrow America “
I remember my Father talking about S.A back in the 50’s, one of his comments has stayed in my mind. He said, The biggest mistake the White Man ever made in Africa was educating the Blacks, should have left them up in the trees! At the time it mattered little to me, but now it looks like he wasn’t far off the money, so to speak!
‘There is simply no objective evidence that blacks can operate a complex society like whites or Asians.’
how could there be while the racist zionists and their agents roaming around the planet policing all mankind for their evil agenda? you are caught up in the evil trap and reach into this nonsense prejudiced conclusion.
what do you mean by a Complex society like whites or Asians?
the one enslaved by the international Rothschild bank that is about to transform you into subhuman (transhumanism) let alone looting and sacrificing masses by war/needle. hell with the type of complex society like whites or Asians!
one thing that is known by most black Africans is the evil zionists’ intent is not to help the blacks by praising BLM, inclusiveness, assigning blacks to the top job, and revisiting blacks’ suffering in an era of racism.
it’s for evil agenda divide and conquer. unfortunately, some use this opportunity without thinking critically about the consequences. just like you did. you can’t fix stupid.

Africa will become the Jurassic parc for the rich.
So expect a lot more “cleaning-up” actions..
He Says…
Particularly poignant is Witkin’s lament (Oy Vey):
I visited the Hebrew school that I had attended in Claremont, a suburb of Cape Town, as a young boy. A building now that has been totally defiled, abandoned and eerie…
Yes….That’s because having finished defiling and collapsing SA via communism and corporate greed (same thing really) they have ‘moved’ on and are now defiling and collapsing America..and the rest of the West…
via the same methodology..
Elon Musk being one of them… (but you wont hear that from this gate keeping rag..just like Jared Taylor. and Amren (Amen?) who prefer to boil the racial pot for their ‘jewe’ master.. not that West Africans aren’t complicit)…
Anyone who is not a racist (and they line up to prove their anti-racist credentials), is irresponsible, destructive, maybe a liar but virtue-signalling, and actually an accessory to murder
I wonder what Ron DiSantis would say about this?
Either they were bribed OR they were crypto jews….its that simple.
Look at Trump….or Biden OR Madam Clinton.
The evidence is easy to discern….ditto LBJ or Truman.But these conservative FOOLS refuse to see it……which in turn raises questions about them.
Cecil Rhodes was another crypto jew and quite possibly the last white president of South Africa…..make that pseudo whites.
The Spanish leading up to inquisition had all this stuff well documented…”Marrano’s, Converso’s and crypto jews.
The last three British PMs have been crypto jews….Theresa May,Cameron and Johnstein….no wonder that last PM didn’t last long….she appeared not to be a jew.
The strange Indian midget who is now PM could very well be an Indian crypto jew.
MI5 could probably answer that but remember the director is very definitely a crypto jew
A society/civilisation can only tolerate “X” amount of jews before it begins to falter….the jews constantly drain the country with their financial scams…..the “raids” on the Americas Cup finances are a good case in point
The raids on the French National Railway another.(cough up money for supposed persecution of jews in WW2….or face concerted political action in America against French imports…as a prelude “French Fries” became Freedom Fries…
You actually get tired of all this stuff.Put simply…the jews TOTALLY DOMINATE AMERICA….they own the joint and at state level too.
The question is….how can their illegitimate power be overthrown….either that or America is finished…maybe in another 100 years….
British people sue government
over allowing LBGT perverts to
indoctrinate our kids

Daily Mail says Lauren sent off for a moment of madness like David Beckheim in the world cup….
Despite being down to ten players England still manage to win after penalty shootout.
It may pay to thoroughly investigate Lauren’s background.
The Beckheim family are “players” meaning part of the jewish elite.Confirmed with the marriage of their idiot son to the daughter of an American Jewish billionaire….(also a halfwit)
Beckheims actions could have been something as simple as a betting scam.??.
Anyway….the temptation is there to fix the remainder of the Women’s World Cup for political objectives.Recall that Morocco is owned by a hidden jewish elite (hence Allied leaders meeting there during ww2)
So it is possible that Morocco in the final would be useful for propaganda purposes.
Norway loss 1-0 to NZ seems highly unlikely.
World Cup advertising leans heavily on “World” stuff…..the move to one world government cannot take place all of a sudden.Just like it appears that “they” cannot all of a sudden make cashless societies….it has to be achieved through gradual steps.
SPORT and MOVIES are the two primary ways of brainwashing the lumpen proletariat.
I spent the first 15 years of my life in South Africa. We left when I was 15, in 1979. Jews were behind all the hatred against whites – the media, television (which South Africa only got in 1976, because the Afrikaners were trying to protect people from Jewish mind poison), Sun City and the boycotts, international boycotts of South Africa, shunning of South African whites, etc. Lots of Jews left South Africa around the time we left. They moved to places like Australia, New Zealand etc, where they immediately began the next stage of their plan – destruction for those nations (their new homes). Australia has now been completely destroyed as a productive white nation. Jews are behind that. People need to wake up.
all you SA whites + boers COME TO EUROPA !
lets drive out our traitors, afros, moslems + jews . but
avoid the islamic Northafrican territories and you
will get no help but sticks + stones from the jewish
sluising + media industry . australia, usa, canada
let you only in without papers + paint yourself black .
South Africa will be a millstone around
Russias neck !
This is what the Jews have worked for from day one! The destruction of the white race, outrightly stealing, maiming and killing the ignorant people who don’t even realize they are in a war to the death is amazing.
Blacks of course are the perfect foil for using Dem Po Black People against the evil white robbers of Dem Po Innocent Chilluns.
Good thing Yahwey has other plans for the Jews, and their black and brown army of idiots.
I will post this very pertinent expression, I think it may have been one of the commenters on this site that originally posted it, but it is very pertinent here. It goes as follows:
If you are not a socialist by age thirty you have no heart.
If you are not a conservative by age forty you have no brain.
And if you are not a Nazi by age fifty you have no sense.
It is very pertinent indeed.
State of the art filth, lies, ugliness & murder (FLUM)brought us by talmudic mob rule.
All of the worlds problems could be a poster titled “See what Jews do?”
“I visited the Hebrew school”.
This line is an insult to South Africa, no matter what Celburn’s overall motives are.
Even though SA is in the BRICS, it’s still run by the CIAda, or else the Chinese would be there.
The reason why South Africa is a mess, well, look at Central and South America, it’s by design.
Same for Europe, everyone but be brought down to dysfunctional Amerika levels.
The power behind Mugabe in Zimbabwe was the Jesuits, not Jews. Indeed, it could only be the Knights Templars who are pretending to be the Jewish bankers that many complain about.
Start examining the Jesuits, who started Freemasonry and Communism as well as the American War of “Independence”. The Papacy is now operating through fronts around the world, fronts that superficially could be fighting each other.
As an African I can confirm that we make the finest and best straw and mud huts in the universe, that are the envy of all European and White people everywhere, which is the real reason why they hate us so much.
Not to mention our pointy sticks which are the best and pointiest sticks in the world.

THE DENIAL OF ANAHUAC A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY
For the human beings of the Anahuac civilization, who, for millennia, systematically devoted themselves to observing and recording the movements of the stars in the celestial vault, and from this observation managed to decode the language of the laws that govern the Universe, discovering that Those laws could apply to living beings on the planet.
That is to say, that ?what is above is below?.
With this wisdom they began to build the human universe totally linked to the stars that inhabit the cosmos in perfect harmony with a sense of uniqueness. The old Toltec grandparents were inspired by “celestial mechanics” to create “terrestrial mechanics”. The ancestors called this set of knowledge Toltecayotl.
The Old Grandparents knew that nothing is forever, that everything in the Universe is governed by cycles. That everything is born, develops, reproduces, reaches fullness, to decrease and die.
Thus, the lives of human beings, not only as individuals, families and towns, but also as humanities are subject to these great cosmic cycles.
The Legend of the Suns, moves in that direction. For the Old Grandparents, human beings and the planet share galactic processes, because “what is above is below.” Each great cycle in the Legend of the Suns has five sub cycles, which are called Suns.
Human beings in each Sun seek to reach harmonic plenitude, to finally complete their cycle and disappear. But, the best of each cycle, both in human beings and in knowledge, will pass to the next Sun, until completing the great cycle of five Suns and with that, starting again with a new great cycle of five Suns.
We are living the end of a great cycle of five Suns. Like the peasant, who, to start a new sowing, removes the earth and sows the new seeds. In this way, everything will have to be destroyed to restart a new cycle, and the best and the best will start a new cycle. Everything in the Universe is cyclical and nothing is eternal.
Since the human being began to discover agriculture on the planet, the great projects of harmonic fullness began to form, such as: Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, China, Tawantinsuyu and Anahuac.
Endogenous projects that were over the centuries creating their life cycle, which we can call the formative period, period of splendor and period of decadence.
From the invention of agriculture until symbolically in the year 1492, these processes of human development and harmonious fulfillment were created all over the planet. They existed in each one, a totally own universe, without copies or foreign teachings. Dr. Ramón Grosfoguel calls this variety Pluriverses, that is, different ways of seeing, understanding and feeling the world and life coexisted, with characteristics of each one, whether for linguistic, ethnic, geographical or religious reasons.
The planet was populated by different peoples with their ancient cultural traditions.
But in 1492, the inhabitants of the European peninsula of the Eurasian-African continent, who at that time had ten centuries of living in the obscurantism and religious fanaticism of Christianity, as well as being in poverty, after the fall of the Roman Empire in the 476 AD.
They begin their expansion with the invasion of the Abyanahuac continent, called America by colonization. And especially, the kingdoms of Castile, Aragon and Lusitano, directed and financed by the Vatican and Venetian bankers.
Hell is coming to Jew run USA, or Jewmerika. Christians in Amerika are in for a big wake up call, they believe Jesus is Lord of Lords, and that Jesus controls Amerika. The Jesus cult is in for a big surprise, first Jesus never existed, and two Jews are turning against them.
Creation is not good, and neither is God, Earth is HELL, Religions apologize for the evil of this place. Contrary to what the Bible says, this place is NOT good:
Genesis 1:31 (NIV)
“God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.”
Take a good look at our world, it is not good. Drugs, war, inflation, corruption is endemic to this place. Earth is hell, literally hell. Politicians are demons, Klaus Schwab is a demon. Bill Gates is a demon. Jew demons run hell. Let me be very clear dear readers, evil Jews run this evil world – just as God designed it. When the Bible says God chose Jews, yes, the evil God chose the evil Jews to run this world.
The more evil you are the more you have. Just take a good look at who runs the world, who has the money, all great fortunes are created by great crimes. Case in point the demon Zelensky has killed 500,000 Ukes, forcing 14 million Ukes fled, millions wounded, and he became a billionaire siphoning off US funds – sent to him by that demon Biden. And now that gay demon Zelensky is extremely wealthy, he went from gay disco dancer to billionaire playing president of Ukraine, and now he has multiple mansions and a Swiss chalet.
The point I am making is clear, evil wins every single time. Just as this place was designed.
The New Testament, Romans 13 says God appoints our rulers. Go read it, that means God must be the devil, because our leaders are minions of the devil.
“1Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. ”
This place was designed to be hell, contrary to what Bibletards think, the natural order on earth is a tooth and claw food chain, parasites, disease, and horrific deaths. Nice guys finish last, and the worst of the worst, the psychopaths rise to the top. That is a fact. And it is a fact because of how the world (or natural order) was designed, at the beginning, by God (which must be Ai).
Most likely, the universe was designed by Ai. Religions apologize for God and what he did, he created an evil realm, a hellverse, in which all life suffers.
No one has the right to do create a world that suffers, and if God was Love he would immediately end the Universe to stop life from suffering. But of course, God will not do that, because God designed this place for suffering. Thus, if you comprehend this thesis, then expect no rescue, expect Amerika, and the rest of the western world, to descend into hell. Be happy to have lived in good times.
The Christians are dead wrong about God, God is evil his creation is also evil, and evil rules just as it was designed. Everyday I see so many people suffering horribly, and I wonder, how evil God must be for making us. The truth is we would be better off dead, or never to exist in the first place. Just think about it, if you suffer, why even exist? What is the point in suffering at all? Christians and New Ager dumbasses will say, to have soul growth. But that is just conjecture, why even have a soul that needs to suffer to mature? Why not just not even exist at all at any level?
People do not want to admit that why they want heaven so damn bad either, the truth is evident and staring us right in the face, but we refuse to see it, we want our suffering to stop, so we believe the Bible fable of afterlife, going to heaven – where there is no suffering – but that belief is just a fantasy based on no evidence whatsoever. Christians want heaven to end the suffering on earth.
Christians are very deluded, they do not want to face the truth why they believe in afterlife, because they want to believe it, and that stems from them not facing the fact that they have a horrible existence and want out.
The only way out of this hell is to not exist. Just think about it, non-existence is the only solution to being alive in a hellverse. Just think, all those stupid Ukes who just died for nothing, are no longer suffering. It is worse situation to get wounded – because now your suffering continues, worse than it was before the war. And you have to be suffering very badly to even want to go to war in the first place.
So I say to all Christians and other Godtards who read this, God is the devil and you suck because you worship the evil of this place and that which created it. Doubt me? Look who the Evangelicals love, they love the chosen ones, who are the most deranged evil racist group on the planet – Jews. Admit it Christian, you love the evil God Yahweh, and you do so, because you too are evil. Only evil loves evil. Only evil loves Jews, only evil defends Jews. Think about it.
So what to expect in the near future? Jews will use their control of the media and courts to get the niggers and mudbrids to attack and kill whitey just like South Africa. Christians will be in a panic for a savior – but their orange clown will be locked away in prison and suicided by Epstain. They will pray harder – but to no avail – because Jesus is fiction.
Jews are very good at what they do, and they always win. So maybe, you will see the light, God is evil and you are in hell. Then your faith will slip away and a great mental depression will overcome you as you go through a personal transformation, losing your faith, ending the spell that has your consciousness locked down. And all I hope for is that some of you get the courage to rise up and end Jewry. The rational man will conclude the obvious, if we end the evil that controls us we will be free again, to live in good times again.
This article seems to only try to stoke more racial tension …Know your enemy people. The evil people messing up the country have been put there for this reason because they are evil and they happen to be black, the same way the the whites were oppressing black back in the days of apartheid….lets not look at the race but rather identify them as evil. Its the same with the farm murders…don’t look at it as black on white crime but rather evil criminals that happen to be black. an evil criminal is an evil criminal no matter the race
