I was invited to join a Facebook group touting a nationalistic Afrikaner line about independence of the "boerevolk". Offhand though, I honestly couldn't think why. I mean, isn't that a bit like being invited to join a fan group set up to adore the most infamous "little corporal" in history?
It was very kind of them to think of me, but I simply had to decline - which I did by leaving a short message which would be my first and last post there.
"Come on guys, quit trying to divide SA even more than it is already - the Boer War ended a hundred years ago - catch a wake up!" I typed.

Nevertheless, this baffling and outlandish event served to prompt some deeper thought on the subject.
