Seated next to me on the aeroplane is an older woman. Her hair is almost completely grey, and deep lines of sadness trace the corners of her eyes. She is on her way to the Netherlands to visit her children. She hasn’t seen her son and his family in three years.
“The children have grown so much!” she jokes excitedly. Her granddaughter has recently become a mother, and she is travelling abroad to meet the new baby and lend a hand. Unfortunately, her husband couldn’t join her – the plane tickets are simply too expensive, but he will get a turn next year.
Her daughter lives in Australia. “She and her husband have been there nearly 20 years. The children don’t speak Afrikaans anymore. It’s so sad,” she says. “My English isn’t exactly great either, so it’s hard to communicate with them.”
I listen closely as she shares a bittersweet blend of excitement and sorrow about her children. She is, however, deeply grateful that they were able to find opportunities abroad and that they are doing well. I, too, am no stranger to family and friends living overseas. We all know someone abroad – children, uncles, aunts, close friends, acquaintances, former colleagues. People who had to make the extremely difficult decision to pack up and put down new roots in a “safer” foreign land.
Last year, I had the privilege of undertaking an extensive research project with the Solidarity Research Institute, focusing on Afrikaners living abroad. Why did we do this research? Because we identified a need among our people abroad, who are directly experiencing a sense of alienation from our Afrikaner culture. The risk of disconnection is even greater among second- and third-generation emigrants, and the research repeatedly highlighted issues related to identity, alienation, values, isolation, language, heritage, and education.
What did we hope to achieve with this research? Our aim was to create a digital home for Afrikaners living abroad – a space where they can virtually experience the familiar feeling of being at home and the warmth of Afrikaner hospitality. This was, of course, no easy task, but the feedback and input we received throughout the research process were truly insightful and invaluable. We also examined initiatives undertaken by other countries to support their diaspora, exploring the structure of their projects. The difference, of course, is that other countries’ governments are mostly driving these projects. The South African government does not have such a project for Afrikaners, and we felt a responsibility to help fill this gap.
From our wish list of what we hoped to develop and offer in this virtual home, we reached out to all the institutions within the Solidarity Movement to lend a hand in building the heartbeat of this virtual world – and there it is today: MyHartland [MyHeartland or lit. “country of my heart”], the virtual cultural home for every Afrikaner living abroad.
Our launch offering includes eight sections: Afrikaans Cultural Home [Afrikaanse Kultuurhuis], My Community [My Gemeenskap], Children’s Corner [Kinderhoekie], Traditional Recipes [Boerekosresepte], the Come and Visit youth programme [Kom kuier-jeugprogram], Entrepreneurs, Jobs [Werk], and News [Nuus]. In addition, there is the opportunity for individuals to become digital citizens of MyHartland by supporting one (or more) of our ten projects. They are also welcome to create a free profile, allowing them to begin their virtual journey with MyHartland and follow us on this new path.
Pack your bags today and bring your family, close friends, uncles, aunts, acquaintances, and former colleagues along on this virtual journey to MyHartland, because our roots are grounded in our language, our culture, our identity, and our connection to one another,
regardless of where we, or our children, live in the world. MyHartland, your virtual cultural home.
While the Solidarity Movement, AfriForum and Solidarity believe, in principle, in engagement and dialogue, it is clear that the so-called National Dialogue has been hijacked by the ANC. Therefore, these organisations will not participate in the first conference of the National Dialogue on Friday. The institutions also support organisations such as the Thabo Mbeki Foundation, which has taken the same decision.
According to Flip Buys, chairperson of the Solidarity Movement, national discussions to find solutions to the country’s pressing crises are essential, but all indications are that the National Dialogue at this stage will result in yet more fruitless discussions instead of action.
“The reason is that it appears that the ANC wants to hijack the intended National Dialogue to try to win back lost support, rather than to find answers to the crises,” says Buys.
“That is why the Solidarity Movement supports the various foundations that have decided not to attend the dialogue on Friday, and we will also not be there. There is no sense in placing the party responsible for the country’s decline in charge of a National Dialogue.”
Buys says the ANC is now emphasising the necessity of participating in the National Dialogue, while over the past decades the party has not been willing to engage in good faith with other stakeholders or listen to their proposals.
“The experience is that the ANC would rather conduct an ANC monologue than participate in national dialogues. The ANC has dominated all previous talks, using them merely as forums to try to sell its policies, rather than forums where they could listen to suggestions on how to adapt their unworkable policies. In addition, agreements that were reached have often been broken shortly thereafter by the ANC, only for them to stumble along alone in its socialist dead-end street, dragging the country along with it.”
Buys says the Solidarity Movement will therefore adopt a wait-and-see approach to the National Dialogue.
“We are too busy trying to address the consequences of failed ANC policies, and do not have the time to listen to their outdated blame politics and a repetition of unimaginative ideas for weeks and months on end. Our experience is that ‘community dialogues’ can bear more fruit than a state dialogue, and that discussions between communities yield more practical results. That is why we plan, in co-operation with other cultural communities, to submit a position on the country’s pressing issues to the National Dialogue, but we will not participate on Friday.”
The ANC has in the meantime given no indication that it intends to reconsider failed policy directions. The clearest signs are that since the formation of the Government of National Unity (GNU), it continues to govern as if it is alone in power, and that it would rather make the country a target of US sanctions than implement policy adjustments in the national interest.
“The country needs new and fresh ideas because the old ANC ideas have failed, and it will be of no use to simply recycle them. Millions of people have suffered long enough under the ANC’s leadership,” says Buys.
People want to talk about a different dispensation
Dr Dirk Hermann, chief executive of Solidarity, says the National Dialogue has become a state dialogue, because the government is not genuinely willing to take part in an open dialogue but is pursuing its own agenda.
“People talk at workplaces, around the braai, at sporting events, and in churches about a yearning for a different dispensation. The state hears this and wants to hijack that spontaneous community dialogue.
“It was conceived in the Union Buildings by the President. The moment that happened, the National Dialogue was stillborn.”
According to Hermann, the need for dialogue came from the community itself.
“Some of the foundations were central to it. It is precisely because of a deep rift with the government that people want to talk about a different kind of dispensation. The government feels threatened by this type of dialogue and has decided to hijack it,” says Hermann.
He emphasises that the institutions’ non-participation in the National Dialogue is not against dialogue, but for dialogue.
“The voice of the people cannot be silenced by trying to regulate it. Solidarity and the broader Solidarity Movement welcomes dialogue. We will talk to trade unions, foundations, cultural communities, and other civil society organisations. We will talk about the wider community’s frustration with the ANC-led government, and our discussions will not be hijacked. We will participate in community dialogue, but not state dialogue,” says Hermann.
ANC cannot be trusted with the process
Kallie Kriel, chief executive of AfriForum, says the crisis the country is currently in is due to the ANC’s failed policy directions, mismanagement, and corruption.
“They are the cause of the problems, and therefore they cannot be trusted to lead the process of finding solutions.”
Kriel emphasises that president Cyril Ramaphosa and his ANC-led government’s hijacking of the preparations for the National Dialogue has resulted in the dialogue degenerating into a government-driven national monologue.
Kriel further says the presidency’s ignoring of the justified concerns of the various former leaders’ foundations about the state’s hijacking of the talks is an indication that there is no interest in genuine dialogue, but that the intended talks are merely meant to serve as a platform for the president and the ANC’s political agenda.
“If the presidency is not serious about the necessity of genuine dialogue with communities, that does not mean that AfriForum and the Solidarity Movement are also not serious about it.
“We are, in fact, serious about dialogue, and that is why AfriForum has accelerated its existing programme of concluding agreements with numerous cultural communities. This effort has already led to meaningful dialogue between communities, which has brought about practical agricultural and other projects at grassroots level,” says Kriel.
“It is essential that we talk to find solutions. AfriForum therefore emphasises that the National Dialogue should shift from a state-driven process to a citizen-driven process. In the meantime, we are proceeding at full steam with discussions with other cultural communities for genuine dialogue, as well as for joint projects.”
Buys further says that it is urgently necessary for sincere discussions on national issues to take place and to lead to agreements and the essential reforms needed to prevent a slide towards a Zimbabwe-scenario.
“The ANC is responsible for most of the crises and cannot solve them alone. Therefore, we are prepared, in the national interest, to talk together about solutions, but it must not be an ANC-led process that will simply end up in another cul-de-sac. Our children deserve better,” concludes Buys.
Political considerations outweigh economic factors when it comes to US tariffs. Senior ANC leaders such as Fikile Mbalula, ANC Secretary-General, and Gwede Mantashe, Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources, continue to hurl insults at the US instead of working to strengthen diplomatic relations.
This despite clear warnings from US leaders that “you’re not going to insult America for free”.
Their overt political animosity towards the US government is deepening South Africa’s economic woes and driving up unemployment. Their efforts to solve the ANC’s political problems are poised to lead to economic crises that will mostly affect their voters.
Meanwhile, the ANC refuses to take the US’s insistence on necessary political reforms seriously and treats it simply as an economic issue.
The ANC is clearly stuck in the Cold War era. They continue to cling to the anti-Western political policies and alliances of the past, despite the economic crisis they are causing.
Their narrow-minded racial policy is much more about their historical anti-Western stance than about redress. Their hostility extends to bullying white citizens of South Africa as part of their deep-seated resentment at the West.
The ANC is trying in vain to resist the winds of change, clinging to the illusion that they are still the darling of the world. That is why they are constantly and unnecessarily picking fights with a superpower. This approach is bound to have grave consequences, and they will be dragged kicking and screaming into the future.
Sooner or later, the ANC will realise: The past will not return, the present cannot be ignored, and the future will not fix itself.
The Solidarity Movement believes that national discussions to find solutions to the country’s pressing crises are essential, but it seems as if the National Dialogue will only result in even more useless discussions instead of action. The reason for this is that it appears that the ANC wants to hijack the intended National Dialogue to try to win back lost support, rather than find answers to the crises.
At present, the ANC is very vocal about the necessity to participate in the National Dialogue, but over the past number of decades it has not been willing hold discussions with other stakeholders in good faith and to listen to their proposals. The experience is that the ANC would rather conduct an ANC monologue than participate in national dialogues.
The ANC has dominated all previous discussions, using them merely as forums to try to sell its policies, rather than forums where they could listen to proposals on how to adjust their unworkable policies.
Added to this is the experience that agreements that had been reached were broken by the ANC shortly afterwards, only for them to continue staggering forward alone on their socialist road to nowhere while dragging the country along with them.
Therefore, the Solidarity Movement will take a wait-and-see approach to the National Dialogue. We are too busy with work to try to address the consequences of failed ANC policies, and we do not have the time to listen for weeks and months on end to their outmoded blame politics and a repetition of unimaginative ideas.
Our experience is that “community dialogues” yield more fruit than a state dialogue, and that discussions between communities produce more practical results.
Therefore, in collaboration with other cultural communities, we plan to submit a position paper on the country’s pressing issues to the National Dialogue, and initially only send an observer to the Dialogue before we decide on participation.
The ANC has not yet given any indication that it will reconsider failed policies. The best indications are that since the formation of the Government of National Unity (GNU), it has continued to act as if it were ruling alone, and that it would rather make the country the target of U.S. sanctions than make policy adjustments in the national interest. The country needs new and fresh ideas because the old ANC ideas have failed, and it will be of no use to simply recirculate these ideas. Millions of people have suffered long enough under the ANC’s leadership.
National Health Insurance (NHI), under state control, is proposed as the single purchaser of all healthcare in South Africa. One of the most notable problems with this proposition is that as soon as a specific service is covered by the NHI, it would become illegal to receive it through any means other than the NHI. The state would therefore not just be the single purchaser, but would effectively control which health services would be available in South Africa, as well as how and by whom those services may be provided.
In June last year the National Assembly agreed to the National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill making provision for the introduction of the NHI, and in December the Bill was also approved by the National Council of Provinces. Weeks before the national election in May 2024, President Cyril Ramaphosa signed the Bill into law. This Act sets out to offer “free” healthcare to all citizens, including expensive medical procedures currently done in private hospitals. Although it seems like a noble notion, it is however important to note that the free healthcare the government already provides in state hospitals and clinics is already unsustainable and these facilities are in unthinkably awful conditions. The NHI is an unaffordable attempt from the state which would drastically cut the income of its citizens, as it would be mainly funded by a very small number of taxpayers.
The Minister of Finance did not budget for a reasonable amount for the implementation of the NHI, which implies that the Treasury does not foresee the actual implementation of the NHI in the near future. This was also the case with the previous submissions of the Bill, and now, with the Bill having been passed, the officials concerned still did not provide for this constitutional requirement.
Even so, the funding structure proposed in the NHI Bill makes provision for a new payroll tax, as well as for a surcharge on income tax. This is in addition to general tax revenue and a planned re-allocation of provincial budgets and conditional allocations, as well as from tax credits for medical schemes.
If the government projections made at that time are to be believed, the NHI will result in the budget deficit being further increased by about R32 billion. A more realistic calculation, as shown in a research report by the Solidarity Research Institute (SRI), shows a deficit of R295,93 billion as an absolute minimum. Treasury cannot afford a deficit of R32 billion, let alone a deficit of R295,93 billion.
Theoretically, R295,93 billion could be generated by abolishing the medical tax credit (about R30 billion) and levying the following taxes:
A 40% surcharge on income tax;
Increasing VAT from 15% to 22%;
A payroll tax of 13,4%;
Increasing corporate income tax from 27% to 45%; and
A combination of these.
In real terms, none of these is possible, because the South African taxpayer is overtaxed.
The theoretical examples given here above serve as illustration purposes only and to demonstrate the absurdity of the NHI.
The National Health Act and a victory in court
On 24 June 2024 Solidarity managed to have one of the major cornerstones of the proposed National Health Insurance (NHI) pulled down by means of its legal action when the North Gauteng High Court declared sections 36 to 40 of the National Health Act unconstitutional. The court also granted a cost award against the respondents.
According to Solidarity, the state’s goal with these sections in the National Health Act clearly was to pave the way for the NHI.
“The government wants to change to a system in which health care is nationalised and health care practitioners become servants of the state so that the provision of all health care can be centrally controlled by the state. This victory thwarts those disastrous plans,” Solidarity Chief Executive Dr Dirk Hermann said.
Sections 36 to 40 of the National Health Act provide that health care practitioners obtain a certificate of need (CoN) from the Department of Health before they can establish a practice in a specific area.
By declaring these sections unconstitutional, this court ruling will have an impact on the implementation of the NHI Act and will complicate the processes to implement it.
After the court ruling by the North Gauteng High Court, the Minister of Health, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, denied that the ruling on the National Health Act made the National Health Insurance (NHI) Act vulnerable, denying any connection with the NHI Act while accusing pressure groups of spreading “toxic propaganda”.
However, his own department’s spokesperson, Foster Mohale, was quoted on multiple occasions in the past, reaching this exact conclusion that the two are connected when the sections were first declared invalid in 2022.
“The ruling has serious implications for the implementation of the National Health Insurance (NHI), and the Department of Health will request that the ruling be overturned and will contest the case in the Constitutional Court,” Mohale said at the time.
Hermann says that the government does not have a track record of “doing the right thing,” and Solidarity will therefore be ready to continue the fight in court.
What are the implications of the NHI for South Africa?
Dr Eugene Brink, strategic advisor for community affairs at AfriForum, also explored the implications of National Health Insurance in an article published on Solidarity’s platform. He writes that the NHI could be very dangerous if ever fully implemented.
In his article he quotes Bloom Financial Services, which stated that the NHI would destroy comprehensive medical schemes. “Once implemented, medical schemes won’t be able to offer any health services already offered by the NHI. Medical aid will only offer you extra services not covered by the NHI.”
Brink also pointed out that all healthcare funds would be centralised (actually nationalised) in a single state-controlled fund. Given what the government as curator of tax money has caused as a result of blatant corruption and abuse, this is a chilling thought.
The medical aid fund Discovery offers further criticism in this regard, also quoted in Brink’s article: “Our strong view is that limiting the role of medical schemes would be counterproductive to the NHI because there are simply insufficient resources to meet the needs of all South Africans. Limiting people from purchasing the medical scheme coverage they seek will seriously curtail the healthcare they expect and demand. It poses the risks of eroding sentiment and of denuding the country of critically needed skills, and is impacting negatively on local and international investor sentiment and business confidence.”
Brink also refers to Prof. Nicola Theron and Dr Paula Armstrong of FTI Consulting who recently wrote that to insist that the only path to universal healthcare (UHC) is through a single pool of funds managed by the government and the erosion of the role of medical schemes as purchasers of medical services would probably contribute to the demise of a strong and well-functioning private healthcare section. It narrows consumer choice, erodes competition and may even lead to the same outcomes as recent examples of what has become of state-owned enterprises and funds. Read the full article here.
The National Health Insurance Act would be very dangerous is fully implemented
No end in sight for the fight against the NHI yet
“Solidarity is vehemently opposed to the NHI and is strongly in favour of a market approach, offering a choice to private service providers and to the public, while at the same time being in favour of an improved public healthcare system. NHI will ruin South Africa and Solidarity is preparing for a major court battle to ensure that the healthcare sector is free, safe and prosperous,” Brink concluded his article.
