MEDIA PRESS RELEASE:
AFRIKAANS ZAL BLIJVEN AT STELLENBOSCH UNIVERSITY – PROTEST 9 APRIL 2021
The Anglo-Afrikaner Union condemns Stellenbosch University for the policy practices which have slowly erected institutional structures that have been put in place by sections within the University to prevent students from communicating or engaging in Afrikaans on campus spaces. These policies have led to the down-scaling of Afrikaans lectures/classes/tutorials, the slow down-scaling and in some cases removal/removing of student support, both academically and administratively orientated around Afrikaans-speakers. The reach of these policies going as far as banning the use of Afrikaans in residences, bathrooms and even on and in groups on digital platforms such as WhatsApp. Complaints have been received that these policies go as far to impact interactions on park benches in front of students’ residences; dare we draw parallels?
It cannot be right that taxpayers’ money is spent towards the suppressing of the freedom of expression, the Constitution is supposed to protect the right of a state funded University like Stellenbosch University to retain its unique cultural character. The trend of Stellenbosch University continually neglecting their responsibility to uphold their practical constitutional mandate of the upholding of the regional linguistic rights of a regional linguistic majority, in pursuit of national democratic revolutionary interests & policies. One can see that these that these interests and policies have created a narrative, almost to the extent of being adversarial in nature when considering the regional reality. This can be seen through the implementation of the 2016 language policy – which effectively abolished Afrikaans as an equal language alongside English.
In consideration of these changes, we find it deplorable that the Stellenbosch University would interfere so deeply into students’ personal rights dictating to them what words can and cannot be used within private spaces. This gross misconduct must be illuminated and addressed.
We are of the understanding that the South African Human Right Commission (SAHRC) is investigating this alleged ban that is being enforced by the university to prohibit the use of Afrikaans in private spaces. We support such an investigation and call on the transparency of the SAHRC in its investigation, particularly considering the alleged improper influence in relation to a particular Justice who was hearing a constitutional court case in relation to the language policy at Stellenbosch University and look forward to their findings.
We at the Anglo-Afrikaner Union understand that allowing an institution to abuse ones’ rights enables them to become repeat abusers. This will not stand. This why we wish to start the Afrikaans Zal Blijven campaign to stand for the cultural and linguistic history of Stellenbosch University. We wish to open-up debate and dialogue between concerned citizens who wish to stop this abuse.
We hereby call upon Anglokaners & Afrikaners, particularly students at the University to stand together in mutual unity opposition against this misconduct and corruption which has taken hold in our institutions. We are assembling an activism action on the Friday, the 9th April 2021.
Further information in relation to the us and our future activist actions found on our Telegram broadcast channel: www.t.me/angloafrikanerunion
We wish to express our support of and to organisations who are actively involved in fighting for the right to retain Afrikaans and what it represents at the University.

SOCIAL MEDIA & THE AU
(Afrikaans onder)
After much debate in relation to our social media platforms we have decided to establish Anglo-Afrikaner Union (AU) on mainstream social media platforms, despite our position being in support of Alt-tech. Up to today, the AU has only established itself on Alt-tech platforms.
However, many Anglo-Afrikaners are on Big-tech platforms still. Many will stay, some are transitioning to Alt-tech, whereas some have already made the jump. We have been receiving many queries in relation to where to find us on mainstream platforms. To effectively reach and ultimately to organise well, we have decided to establish the AU the mainstream platforms.
More to Follow.
----------------------------------------------
SOCIALE MEDIA & DIE AU
Na baie debat met betrekking tot ons sosiale media platforms het ons besluit om Anglo-Afrikaner-unie (AU) op hoofstroom sosiale media platforms te vestig, ten spyte van ons posisie om ter ondersteuning van Alt-tegnologie. Tot vandag toe het die AU hom net op Alt-tech platforms gevestig.
Baie Anglo-Afrikaners is egter steeds op Big-tech platforms. Baie sal bly, sommige gaan oor na Alt-tech, terwyl sommige reeds die sprong gemaak het. Ons het baie navrae ontvang oor waar ons ons op hoofstroomplatforms kan vind. Om effektief te bereik en uiteindelik goed te organiseer, het ons besluit om die AU die hoofstroomplatforms te vestig.
Meer om te volg.

The Anglo-Afrikaner Union (AU) brings together the English (Anglokaners) section and Afrikaans (Afrikaners) section to address issues mutually faced by both groups on a local, regional, national and and international front.
Just imagine for a moment if you will, the cold-hard rationality of the Anglokaner working in symbiosis with the Boer-maak-n-plan pragmatism of the Afrikaner?
Now that is a force to be reckoned with!
This goal, this challenge, dare I say this is our mission here at the Anglo-Afrikaner Union (AU).
I am here to tell you that we are mobilising TODAY.
Do see our "Afrikaans Zal Blijven!" Campaign where we are launching a Activism Action to fight the abolishment of Afrikaans at Stellenbosch University!

Wat alleen maar een verfrissingspost moest worden werd een ware volksbeplanting op het Zuidpunt van Afrika. Ons Dietse volk maakte dit tot één van de sterkste staten ter wereld.
Inmiddels heeft het ANC dit herleidt tot een wankelende bananenrepubliek.
Ons Afrikaner broedervolk houdt zich sterk en bouwt ons land terug op. Niet op politiek vlak, maar op economisch, cultureel en identitair vlak sterken wij ons Zuid-Afrika.

EVENT RELEASE - AFRIKAANS ZAL BLIJVEN - 9 APRIL 2021
(English below)
Die Anglo-Afrikaner Unie stel ons Afrikaans Zal Blijven! Veldtog bekend met ons Aktivisme-aksie aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch op 9 April 2021!
Ons is van mening dat die Afrikaanse Taalraad en die DAK Netwerk ook hierdie Vrydag met hul "rollende massa aksie" gaan begin (sien hierdie skakel: https://www.litnet.co.za/afrikaans-rollende-massa-aksie-by-us-9-april/) wat ons ten volle ondersteun en hoop om saam te werk aan hierdie beginselsaak om die hart en siel van Afrikaans te beskerm. Ons hoop ook om 'n paar ander groepe te ontmoet wat hul steun vir ons Aktivisme-aksie uitgespreek het.
Ons sal saamkom voor die Ou Hoof Gebou op die kampus waar ons die organisasie en mekaar aan mekaar moet ontmoet en voorstel. Die rektor het sover ons verstaan nie op hierdie tydstip 'n belangstelling uitgespreek om oop te wees vir gesprekke nie en is moontlik nie oop vir aksies wat op die dag oorgedra word nie, en ons beplan met dit ingedagte. Ons sal op die dag met ander aksies koördineer, maar het ook ons eie program wat die oggend van die 9de aangespreek word. Vir enige verdere inlig, stuur gerus vir ons 'n boodskap.
Ons wil he Wim moet weet:
AFRIKAANS ZAL BLIJVEN!
AZB!
Ons sien daarna uit om u daar te sien!

We are of the understanding that the Afrikaans Taalraad & the DAK Netwerk were going to also start their "Mass-rolling actions" on this Friday (see this link: https://www.litnet.co.za/afrikaans-rollende-massa-aksie-by-us-9-april/) which we are in full support of and hope to work together on this matter of principle to protect the heart & soul of Afrikaans. We are also hoping to meet a few other groups that have expressed support for our Activism Action.
We will be coming together in front of the Ou Hoof Gebou on the Campus where we are to meet and introduce the organization and each other to one-another. The Rector as far as we understand has not expressed an interest at this point in time to be open to discourse and may not be open to actions transpring on the day. As such we are planning accordingly. We will coordinating with other actions on the day but do also have our own program which will be address on the morning of the 9th. For any further info, do drop us a message.
