What is this book all about?

The decisive reason for publishing this book is as simple as it is tragic. The South African government under Nelson Mandela is being confronted by a tremendous legal scandal - and it is keeping silent. It is silencing it to death. In the interests of justice and humanity, this silence must be broken. Numerous highly esteemed and serious- minded international organisations and interest groups, but also idealistic individuals have realised the seriousness of the situation, heeded the call of the moment and intervened for Willem Ratte's release during the past weeks. Despite this, the government of the rainbow nation, though claiming to strive for truth and reconciliation, is turning a deaf ear or indulges itself with nothing more than implausible and high-sounding phrases devoid of meaning. Since his scandalous sentence on 3 May 1996, one of South Africa's best officers has been on a hunger strike. This account endeavours to explain what commandant Ratte hopes to achieve by his self-sacrificing resistance. Whatever course the miscarriage of justice of which Willem Ratte was the victim may take, if the practising of double standards that has by now become entrenched and the suppression of undesirable peoples continue, South Africa will ultimately have only one future - civil war.
Like the Zulus and other peoples living in South Africa, the Boers also wish to live in peace and happiness. Willem Ratte speaks the language of our own hearts. Only one thought underlies this book - freedom!

Oor wat gaan hierdie boek?

Hierdie eerste uitgawe is binne vyf baie opwindende dae en slapelose nagte geskryf. Ons versoek die leser om dit in aanmerking te neem; 'n omvattende biografie van Willem Ratte moet nie verwag word nie. Eweneens kan die volgende bladsye nog 'n omvattende geskiedenisstudie nog 'n politieke manifes wees. Dit was ook nie die bedoeling nie. Ek het wel moeite gedoen om gehoor te gee aan die versoek van baie bekommerdes en meelewendes om so gou moontlik 'n oorsig oor die lewe en invloed van Willem Ratte tot op datum en oor sy ideale daar te stel.
Die deurslaggewende rede vir die publikasie van hierdie boek is net so eenvoudig as wat dit tragies is. Die Suid-Afrikaanse regering onder Nelson Mandela word gekonfronteer met 'n geweldige regskandaal en swyg. Hy swyg dit dood. Ter wille van geregtigheid en menslikheid moet hierdie swye verbreek word. Talle hoog aangeskrewe en ernstiggesinde internasionale organisasies en belangegroepe, maar ook idealistiese individue het hierdie gebod van die uur en die erns van die toestand ingesien en in die afgelope weke ingetree vir die vrylating van kommandant Willem Ratte. Nogtans sit die regering van die reenboognasie, wat voorgee dat hy hom beywer vir versoening en waarheid, steeds op sy ore of laat niks meer hoor as ongeloofwaardige en blote niksseggende, mooiklinkende frases.
Een van Suid-Afrika se beste offisiere is sedert sy skandalige veroordeling op 3 Mei 1996 op 'n hongerstaking. Hierdie verslag probeer uiteensit wat kommandant Ratte, wie se moedertaal Duits is, met sy selfopofferende weerstand beoog. Hoe die regskandaal rondom Willem Ratte ook al afloop, Suid-Afrika sal, as die nou reeds gevestigde praktyk van meet met twee mate en die onderdrukking van ongewenste volke voortduur, uiteindelik net een toekoms he - en dit is burgeroorlog.
Net soos die Zoeloes en ander volkere in Suid-Afrika, wil die Boere ook vry wees en gelukkig en in vrede lewe. Willem Ratte praat ons taal, uit die hart. Onderliggend aan hierdie boek is dus slegs een gedagte - vryheid!


Book Reviews

A book detailing the forgotten war still raging in South Africa against Nelson Mandela details communist atrocities, conveniently overlooked by the American press.

Die boek is op geskiedkundige feite gebaseer.
