Kommando sisteem – Commando system

Dit was meer as 350 jaar gelede wat die Kommando sisteem begin het in suidelike Afrika. Dis later deur die Thabo Mbeki regering afgeskaf saam met Lekota toe hy Minister van die ANC kabinet was. Ons het ook buurt en plaaswagte begin, maar is dit effektief as dit ‘n multi-kulturele buurt of plaaswagstelsel is? Maar die kommando sisteem was ‘n baie effektiewe sisteem waarvan almal van ons voorouers kennis dra en gedra het.

Ons moet en behoort trots te wees wat dit vir ons voorgeslagte gedoen en beteken het. Daar moet vergelyk word wat hulle gehad het en hoe hulle hulself beskerm het teenoor wat ons vandag het. Sit alles op ‘n skaal en besluit self wat werk die beste, vir omgewing en alles rondom dit wat van belang geag word.

In ons eie onafhanklike land. Maar die Boere volk moet dit self dryf en slegs lede van die Boere volk moet lede wees. Paraatheid behoort op elke Boere volk lid se daaglikse agenda verskyn. Daarmee hoef dit geen skriftelike Agenda te wees nie, maar iets in die agterkop. As Danie na Gideon gaan wat weer ander Boere volk lede bymekaarmaak, moet daar oor hierdie beveiliging kopstukke gepraat word. Daar moet nie verwag word die regering of ander politieke partye moet die reëlings beheer of bestuur nie. Hoe minder politici betrokke is, inteendeel glad nie, hoe beter. Boere moet hul eie sisteme in plek kry, wat ook van plek tot plek, plaas tot plaas, kleinhoewes tot kleinhoewes en

Jan van Riebeeck established the Burgher Militia a few days before a Khoi-Khoi (Hottentot) rising, sometimes called the ‘First Hottentot War’ (though it was rather a series of skirmishes), started at the Cape. This was in line with an instruction by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) that every freeman should be trained to handle fire-arms. The company, under Sergeant Steven Jansz Botma and Corporals Herman Remajenne and Wouter Cornelisz Mostert, paraded at the fort every Sunday morning. The Burgher Militia acted at first only in support of the garrison, consisting of professional soldiers, but later developed into burgher commandos who bound themselves together for protection against cattle-thieves and acted without the help of troops, but with ammunition provided by the government.

The commandos remained in operation right through history and effectively protected the farming community for generations. During both the First and Second Anglo Boer Wars the Boer Commandos were legendary guerilla fighting forces.

On 14 February 2003 the then Minister of Defense, Mosiua Lekota (now the leader of Cope), together with Thabo Mbeki, single handedly destroyed an institution of 3 and a half centuries by announcing that the Commandos will be disbanded.

Despite numerous warnings from political parties and agricultural leaders alike that the decission will cause a disaster, Mbeki and Lekota persisted.

The record of farm murders since 2003 proved that it was the worst decission possible.

That is why Front National stated clearly in our 2019 election manifesto that we will fight for the re-establishment of the Commandos for the very same reason that Van Riebeeck established them in the first place, this day 360 years ago.

And we count on your support to enable us to do that.
