The Boers of Argentina: Did they find Argentina’s oil?

2005: Blacks: S.Africa: Ritual Circumcision Likely Contributing to HIV Spread
Some Black tribes engage in ritual circumcision. (Sometimes the Black boys even die!!). It turns out that another side effect was spreading AIDS!


[I have heard of the Boers who were so furious at the end of the 2nd Anglo Boer war that they wanted nothing to do with being ruled by the English. They set out for Argentina. In all the years I’ve been in SA I had never heard anyone mention the Boers of Argentina. It seems the real reason for this is that there are so few of them.

Curiously most of them returned to South Africa in 1938. I suspect this was because the Boers were rising again in South Africa. 1938 was a very important year in the rise of the National Party. That was a time when the Broeder Bond (a secret society), was growing stronger, prior to the rise of the National Party which seized power in 1948, thereby instituting the Boer’s greatest time of growth and prosperity by creating and implementing Apartheid. The Jews, Communists and Liberal scum of course started from the very beginning to screw this up for the Boers.

The story below from 2009 mentions Tony Leon in Argentina. Tony Leon is a bloody Jew. I had forgotten that this Jewish piece of shit had been made the ambassador to Argentina. But this now makes sense because the place is heavily Jew infested. Argentina is the most Jew infested country in South America. This makes sense because Argentina is a successful, mostly white dominated country, and Jewish scum always go where whites are doing well. Then the Jews go and f*ck it up for the whites there.

The good news is that in the 1970’s the Argentinian military killed a lot of leftist student scum, and apparently at least 10% of them were Jews – which deserves a big thumbs up.

Here is a rare article about the Boers in Argentina. I found the photo of the Boer Hotel in Argentina above! It seems the Boers might even have played a role in helping to (accidentally) discover oil in Argentina. The Boers did not get rich, because most whites don’t get rich anywhere. We are law abiding and we do our work. We whites aren’t like the Jews who operate like a gang of crooks. Hitler said that the Jews use “forger’s tactics” in the way they cheat people like a gang.

End of an era for Argentina’s Afrikaners

Between 1903 and 1909, up to 800 Boer families trekked by ship to this lonely spot on Argentina’s east coast, about 1 500km north of Tierra del Fuego.

They had suffered badly in the 1899-1902 Anglo-Boer War. Some had lost family members in Kitchener’s infamous concentration camps; others had their farmhouses destroyed by British troops.

Most of the Boer men who shipped out to settle in South America, taking their wives and children with them, had fought in the war against Britain, the nation that had seized their former independent republics of Transvaal and Orange Free State. The Boers left because they had no desire to live under their conqueror’s thumb.

A century later, their numbers have dwindled.

On Saturday, a small group of Afrikaans-speaking Argentines, descendants of the first Boers to set foot in South America, assembled in the town to greet newly appointed South African ambassador Tony Leon.

The ambassador and his wife had travelled to Patagonia from the South African embassy in Buenos Aires, 1 800km to the north, to meet the Boer descendants.

Speaking at the event, Juan Kruger, born in Argentina in 1947, told the South African Press Association (Sapa): “Ek glo nie jy sal meer as 20 Afrikaans-sprekende mense kry in die land [I don’t believe you will find more than 20 Afrikaans-speaking people in the country].”

Kruger was referring to those, like him, whose grandparents had come over at the beginning of the last century and still speak Afrikaans as a first language.

It is a Patagonian paradox that the Afrikaners who helped turn Comodoro Rivadavia from a tiny settlement with few buildings into a large and noisy oil town, now number so few. Local legend says it was Boers drilling for water who made the first oil strike in a region that currently supplies a considerable portion of Argentina’s fuel needs.

About a dozen Argentine Afrikaners, most in their 50s and 60s, gathered at a suburban house in Comodoro Rivadavia to speak to Leon. They served him tea and melktert, baked by Graciela Hammond, who learned the recipe from her mother, a Boer woman.

Leon told them the South African embassy stood ready to help them.

“If there is anything we can do for you, please let us know,” he said.

They handed him a commemorative book to sign. In it, he wrote: “Ek hoop dat hierdie gemeenskap, met sy erfenis en taal, sal in Argentinie oorleef [I hope that this community, and its heritage and language, will survive in Argentina].”

The surnames of those present at the event could be found in any South African telephone directory: De Lange, Botha, Kruger, Norwal and Schlebusch, among others.

Danie Botha (67), whose daughter is a pharmacist in Comodoro Rivadavia, told Leon his forefathers had come to Argentina to escape the British.

“You’ll see no Afrikaners here who are well off. Other people who came here, such as the Portuguese and the Italians, they are wealthy. But the Afrikaners did not come here to make money, they came here to escape the English.”

He said the Afrikaner community in Argentina—which in 1909 had numbered about 3 000 people—had made a “groot fout [big mistake]” in 1938, when many of its founders returned to South Africa, leaving their descendants behind.

“Some of us never knew our grandparents,” he said.

Botha said he planned to visit South Africa for the first time in March next year.

Biltong
Sarah de Lange, who farms sheep on a 10 000ha farm granted to her grandfather by the Argentine government a century ago, told Sapa she made biltong.

“Ek maak biltong van guanaco vleis [I make biltong from guanaco meat],” she said.

The guanaco is a type of llama, about the size of a small horse, which runs wild in the region.

De Lange said her biltong was quite different to beef biltong, but tasted good nonetheless.

Jan Schlebusch, who was at the event with his wife, Martha (née Myburgh), and two of his three daughters, owns a sheep farm about 200km inland from Comodoro Rivadavia.

Both daughters spoke Spanish, and neither understood more than a few words of Afrikaans, though Schlebusch said he was keen to have them visit South Africa.

He himself had done so in 1990.

Kruger said the Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk in Comodoro Rivadavia had once had an Afrikaans dominee [minister], but he left in 1953, and a Spanish-speaking cleric had taken over.

This, he said, had been a big factor in the decline of the Afrikaans language in the region, because the children no longer needed to learn it in order to understand the preacher.

Afrikaans speakers used to gather each year in the Sierra Chaira mountains to hold Boer sports, but this too had ceased. There were too few Afrikaans speakers left, Kruger explained.

Dante Botha, a cousin of Danie Botha, said the original Boers had come to Argentina “because of pride”. His grandfather, who had fought against the British, had been one of them.

Speaking in Spanish through an interpreter—unlike his cousin, Dante speaks no Afrikaans—he described the Argentine Afrikaners as “a very closed community”.

An account by travel writer Bruce Chatwin of the Boer community around Sarmiento, inland from Comodoro Rivadavia, is at one with Botha’s description.

“They lived in fear of the Lord, celebrated Dingaan’s Day, and took oaths on the Dutch Reformed Bible. They did not marry outsiders and their daughters had to go to the kitchen if a Latin entered the house,” Chatwin wrote in his 1975 book, In Patagonia. According to a report in the Sunday Times 10 years earlier, there was “more Afrikaans than Spanish” heard in the shops, bars and offices of Sarmiento.

Almost 50 years later, the days of hearing Afrikaans spoken in Patagonia appear to be drawing to a close.

Sixty-five year-old Carlo de Lange—whose father was a small boy when his grandparents arrived in Argentina in 1905, two years after British soldiers had burnt down their farmhouse—said he thought the Afrikaans language would soon become extinct in the

“Na my geslag is daar nie meer Afrikaans nie [After my generation there will be no more Afrikaans],” he said.—Sapa

This was an article I published from a White pathologist in S.Africa. AIDS and TB combine to kill lots of Blacks. The pathologist sent me some really interesting info in this article.
