Background:
As a South African and Afrikaner descendant of the Dutch people who settled in South Africa in 1652, I have witnessed firsthand the systemic challenges faced by White Afrikaners.
The current economic exclusion and direct attacks on our farmers and white minority are deeply concerning, particularly affecting my own family members. Despite these adversities, I remain committed to finding solutions that can help preserve our heritage and ensure a better future for us all.
In response to the South African government's 142 race-based laws designed to prevent White Afrikaners from earning a living in South Africa, I have managed to find safety outside of Africa. This experience has not only broadened my perspective but also instilled in me an unwavering determination to contribute positively to any organization that values commitment, ethics and an unshakable moral foundation.
The Afrikaner people are renowned for their absolute work ethic and dedication, traits that I believe will be invaluable assets to your team. My background equips me with a unique understanding of the challenges faced by our community and a strong commitment to finding innovative solutions.
