The Coat of Arms

The Coat of Arms

THE COAT OF ARMS, LINKED TO THE SONG OF SOLOMON ,PROVES SOUTH AFRICA TO BE THE HOUSE OF JUDAH.

Revealed to Pamela Cornah

In the year of our Lord 2009

“SET ME AS A SEAL UPON THY HEART, AS A SEAL UPON THY ARM

As Britain and America prove their Israel Identity by their National Heraldry in symbols, which was pre-designed for them in the Word of God thousands of years ago and divinely linked to their National seals of today, thereby enabling them to prove that they are the descendants of the Ancient Ten Tribes of Israel, so The Great God of the white man also predestined the tribe of Judah, allowing them also to prove their Israel identity in South Africa.
The South African National Seal with its symbols on the original South African Coat of Arms places the white South African nation alongside the other Great Israel Nations of the West and identifies them as THE ANCIENT TRIBE OF JUDAH. The Coat of Arms heraldry aligned with thesc scriptures gives Judah’s latter-day geographical location as South Africa. Since this latter-day discovery, the White South Africans can easily be identified as the Biblical tribe of Judah whose ultimate destination was skillfully guided by the Creator and their identity concealed for it only to be revealed long after their arrival on theAfrican continent.
Thus in 1688 the tribe of Judah arrived in ships at their new
location as promised by God, under the names of the European Huguenots and the 1820 British settlers. Together they grew into the self sufficient and independent nation of white South Africa.

The Holy Spirit inspired the National Seal of South Africa, the Coat
of Arms. This amazing Emblem was so skillfully encrypted without the artist ever being aware of its monumental significance. This picture emblem was unwittingly designed especially to pinpoint the hidden location of Jesus Christ’s own tribe, The House Judah, in the latter days, declaring her history and her future up and to the time of His return.
This history of South Africa is depicted and linked by the pictures on its COAT OF ARMS to the magnificent love story of Jesus Christ for His own tribe, as related by King Solomon in the biblical love story of the SONG OF SOLOMON.

KING SOLOMON’S CENTRAL THEME: PARADISE LOST.
The Song of Solomon, describes the white South African people
as a white tanned and beautiful people. They are a nation who achieved
their highest goals and aspirations when they were prepared to fight
against the odds for their divinely selected future.
A tribe pre-destined to reside in South Africa for the purpose of
assuring the survival of the white tribe of Judah. This was achieved by them upholding their high moral standards and their instinctive ideals for race separation.
Although a beautiful white nation says Solomon, they unfortunately did not hold the charge and leaned toward the inclusion of the black indigenous savages of Africa integrating them into their white nation.
When these South Africans fell on easy and wealthy times, they let
down their guard. While good men slept, the enemy was allowed to move in and slowly corrode away at their white God-given sovereignty and independence until they lost all and again sold themselves into a savage bondage from which there is no escape if Gods rescue plan is not accepted.

Now hear their sad lament in the Song of Solomon as they witness their
own demise “BUT MY OWN VINYARD I HAVE NOT KEPT”.
GODS PLAN FOR RESTORATION ADVISED.

MY BELOVED IS WHITE AND RUDDY THE CHIEFEST OF TEN THOUSAND. SAYS THE SONG OF SOLOMON.
HIS BANNER OVER ME WAS LOVE – I AM THE APPLE OF HIS EYE.

CAPE PROVINCE	ORANGE FREE STATE	TRANSVAAL

In the Song of Solomon a restoration plan for this terrible mistake that has been made by the majority of white South Africans is advised. The story that King Solomon relates is the story of the “THE WELL BELOVED” a story of the minority who did not disobey their God-given charge. They hold the white line. They are called “chosen” the “only one “ amongst all the South African people who have not lost sight of God’s Goals for His own Tribe of Judah.
These people who offer their lives to defend Gods truth” EACH AFTER HIS OWN KIND.” but as is the way of Gods adversary, the evil one came and defamed these gallant warriors and worked at stopping the majority of whites from supporting this plan for The Nations recovery, making people believe strange new religious beliefs even doubting the existence of The Tri Une God and defaming the name of the Saviour Jesus Christ. Consequently the ”Beloved” few is smote and wounded by the watchmen of the city as they rob the extreme right-wing of their God-given status, leaving her despised and in the care of undeserving weak men.
THE BANNER.
This Beloved in South Africa is described as an army with banners . This Army with its magnificent Banner which represents Protestant Christianity is given birth by mother South Africa, a flag born out of the struggle to preserve the sovereignty of the white man in South Africa
This Banner of love over Her is perfected by the Three Sevens representing God the Father and God the Son and God the Holy Spirit as depicted by the symbols on the flag of the Well Beloved s Army .‘ I CHARGE YOU O DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM THAT YE STIR NOT UP NOR AWAKE MY LOVE UNTIL HE PLEASE’ That Statement is a promise of a fearful awakening of this Army from our God who is very protective of His true Beloved the extreme right-wing people of South Africa.
The Companions in the Song of Solomon ask a question. What is thybeloved more than the other beloved?
THE DIVINE ANSWER..
MY BELOVED IS WHITE AND RUDDY, THE CHIEFEST AMONG TEN THOUSAND.
My dove, my undefiled, is the one, she is the only one of her mother South Africa. She ALONE is the choice one of her that bore her. Christ sings out the praises of His beloved. He says that He loves to sit under this apple tree. When she is ready, He prepares to awake her from her sleep.
HIS ARMY RESPONDS
I AM MY BELOVED’S AND HIS DESIRE IS TOWARDS ME.
I AM THE APPLE OF HIS EYE .
BORN IN SOUTH AFRICA, BORN ON HOME SOIL , THIS BANNER IS BIRTHED BY MOTHER SOUTH AFRICA.
THE CALL.
In the Song of Solomon His army calls to their white brothers to come and suck the breasts of their mother South Africa.“You will be welcomed with a kiss and not be despised under God’sbanner”, assures King Solomon. The King Jesus Christ’s left hand would then be under your head and His right hand would embrace you.
THE PROMISE OF PROTECTION AND VICTORY.
“Christ’s love for this ruddy and white army is a jealous cruel and
protective love”, says Solomon. He says the coals of this love have a
vehement flame. He says no matter what floods this extreme right wing
Army has had to endure, HIS love for them cannot be quenched and at
the right time this vehement and jealous love for the Well Beloved who
are chosen above all the Daughters of Jerusalem in South Africa, will
ignite the flames of war – Guaranteed of HIS protection.
I charge you O daughters of Jerusalem, That you Stir not up nor awake
My beloved until he please. When this beloved awakes from her sleep as
promised, Her task is to tread out the Vintage where Grapes of God’s
Wrath are stored.
ALL HAIL TO THE ONLY AND MOST MAGNIFICENT GOD! A PEOPLE ARE
PRIVALIGED TO SERVE THIS JESUS CHRIST, WHO TELLS AND SHOWS HIS PEOPLE ALL THE DETAILS OF HIS GREAT PLANS AND TRUTHS BY WORDS AND PICTURES PLANED AND DESIGNED IN THE HEAVENS FOR EACH ONE OF HIS TRIBES, DISPELING ALL OTHER MYTHS AND ASSURING US IN SOUTH AFRICA OF HIS ABSOLUTE LOVE FORTHE “WELL BELOVED”, THE EXTREME RIGHT WING. DETAILING IT FOR THE WORLD TO SEE ON OUR COAT OF ARMS.
THIS MAGNIFICENT LOVE STORY AND THE HISTORY OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH IN SOUTH AFRICA IS SUNG IN THE BOOK OF SOLOMON AND LINKED BY PICTURES TO THE GREAT SEAL OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN COAT OF ARMS.

Welkom by die Volkraad 


Beste Volksgenoot
Hartlik welkom by die webwerf van die Volksraad Verkiesing Kommissie. As jy vreemde heerskappy verwerp en staan op jou internasionaal-erkende reg van demokratiese volksregering, is dit JOU Kommissie ook. Ons volk staar sekerlik die grootste bedreiging van sy bestaan in die gesig. Maar dit was altyd juis tye soos hierdie, wat tot ons grootste ure met ons Skepper gelei het – laat ons dodelike bedreigings dus ook hierdie keer ‘n smeltkroes word wat ons veredel op die weg na vryheid.



Daar was die afgelope jare vele planne van vele organisasies en individue wat telkens voorgegee het om Die Plan te wees wat na vryheid sou lei. So ‘n Plan was daar nog nooit, en die Kommissie wil ook nie voorgee dat daar so Plan bestaan nie. Vryheid hang nie af van Die Plan nie – vryheid is die uiteinde van ‘n reis. ‘n Onbekende reis. Maar een wat ons moet onderneem ter wille van die oorlewing van ons en ons nageslag en ons wese as volk. Maak op hierdie webtuiste kennis met die beginsels waarop ons hierdie reis onderneem. En mag jy met ons saamreis.

ONS IS BOERE

ONS IS BOERE

Die Boerevolk is ’n volk in sy eie reg wat nie deur omskrywing of wetgewing tot ’n blanke groep verander kan word nie. Die verlaging van sy status vanaf volk met eie grond wat in die totale bekende wêreld erkenning geniet het, tot deel van ’n blanke groep, waardeur die feit van sy bestaan verontagsaam en ontken word, is onaanvaarbaar.
Erkenning van die Boerevolk as ’n volk, met die reg van selfbeskikking en reg op ’n eie vaderland, is ’n saak van eerste belang.

 

Om ’n volk, in die geval die Boerevolk, te verhinder om volkome volk te wees, is ’n misdaad teen die mensdom. ’n Volk kan slegs volkome volk wees indien hy hom kan uitleef deur onder andere sy taal vrylik en ongehinderd te mag praat, besluite wat sy toekoms raak self te mag neem ongeag of dit oor godsdiens of onderwys handel, kan assosieer met wie hy wil, sy kultuur en tradisies uitleef en vele meer. Om volkome volk te wees moet ons besluite oor onsself kan neem, deur ’n eie owerheid te hê wat oor ons regeer in ’n eie onafhanklike land. Dan kan ons die ontwikkelingsfase voortsit om ons ryk kultuurerfenis nog verder te ontwikkel. Ons kinders sal weer as Boere grootword en die Boer sal homself kan handhaaf naas die ander volkere van die wêreld.

 

Tanslated in Afrikaans Die geheimhouding Bill

 Volg die skakels na en teken Dankie
Liewe vriende,
Op enige oomblik Zuma kon die geheimhouding Bill teken in die wet - een van die ergste aanval op die demokrasie en vryheid van spraak sedert Apartheid. Maar ons kan hom dwing om te gee die howe 'n finale sê, spaar ons vryheid van spraak regte van die ergste dele van die wet.
Die President het die mag omstrede wetsontwerpe te stuur na die Konstitusionele Hof voordat hulle verorden om seker te maak dat hulle nie in stryd met ons mees kosbare vryheid. Maar hy gaan net die geheimhouding Bill se korrupte beskerming te vertraag vir sy eie regering indien daar is 'n massiewe landswye protes. Ons het net dae om seker te maak hy dit hoor.
Hy is reeds die hitte voel, maar die wetsontwerp kan onderteken word enige dag nou. Klik hieronder om 'n beroep op Zuma om ons Grondwet te beskerm en die wet volg. Toe het hierdie e-pos aan almal:
http://www.avaaz.org/en/zumas_secret_loc/?bxbyTdb&v=25023
Die geheimhouding Bill sou slegte nuus vir Suid-Afrika wees. Regtig sleg is. Onder dit, elkeen wat na uitgelek geklassifiseerde lêers (soos joernaliste op die regering oorplanting of alledaagse burgers toegang tot hulle aanlyn - iemand) kon kry tot 25 jaar in die tronk, ongeag van hoe belangrik die storie is vir die publiek. Die wetsontwerp wat geslaag het ingesluit belangrike veranderings is nie, maar hulle val ver te kort van wat nodig is: te veel amptenare nog steeds het die mag om unaccountably klassifiseer dokumente, en die vrystelling bygevoeg vir fluitjieblasers het 'n groot leemte wat maak dit al, maar nutteloos in die praktyk. Geheel en al, sou die wet 'n groot padblokkade in ons vermoë om te ontbloot en te ondersoek korrupsie in die regering wees.
Burgers kan die geheimhouding Bill bring na die hof nadat dit verby is, maar die proses neem 'n lang tyd en kon miljoene kos. Net so is, baie regskenners sê dat die wet duidelik mooi stryd is met ons vryheid van spraak regte. Zuma het die kans om die Grondwet gee die respek wat dit verdien en het die hof hersiening van die wetsontwerp voor dit wet en begin doen skade.
Die klok is tikkende en ons het nie 'n oomblik te verloor. Kom ons stoot Zuma om die wet te respekteer voordat dit te laat is. Klik hieronder om aan te meld en stuur dit aan almal:
http://www.avaaz.org/en/zumas_secret_loc/?bxbyTdb&v=25023
Wanneer die geheimhouding Bill was die eerste keer ter tafel gelê is in 2010 en het om te stem in 2011, Avaaz lede het by die nasionale oproep om vryheid oor geheimhouding, saam met die diverse organisasies agter die Right Campaign te leer ken. Nou het ons 'n kans om te stap in weer en hou die druk op Zuma se aanval op ons demokrasie.
Met hoop,

Dear friends,
At any moment Zuma could sign the Secrecy Bill into law -- one of the worst attacks on democracy and free speech since Apartheid. But we can force him to give the courts a final say, saving our free speech rights from the worst parts of the law.
The President has the power to send controversial bills to the Constitutional Court before they are enacted to make sure they don't violate our most precious freedoms. But he's only going to delay the Secrecy Bill's corrupt protections for his own government if there's a massive nation-wide outcry. We only have days to make sure he hears it.
He's already feeling the heat, but the bill could be signed any day now. Click below to call on Zuma to protect our constitution and follow the law. Then forward this email to everyone:
http://www.avaaz.org/en/zumas_secret_loc/?bxbyTdb&v=25023
The Secrecy Bill would be bad news for South Africa. Really bad. Under it, anyone who looks at leaked classified files (like journalists reporting on government graft or everyday citizens accessing them online -- anyone!) could get up to 25 years in jail, regardless of how important the story is to the public. The bill that passed included important revisions, but they fall far short of what's needed: far too many officials still have the power to unaccountably classify documents, and the exemption added for whistleblowers has a major loophole that could make it all but useless in practice. Altogether, the law would be a major roadblock in our ability to uncover and investigate government corruption.
Citizens can bring the Secrecy Bill to court after it's passed, but the process takes a long time and could cost millions. Even so, many legal experts say that the law pretty clearly violates our free speech rights. Zuma has the chance to give the constitution the respect it deserves and have the court review the bill before it becomes law and starts doing damage.
The clock is ticking and we don't have a moment to lose. Let's push Zuma to respect the law before it's too late. Click below to sign and forward to everyone:
http://www.avaaz.org/en/zumas_secret_loc/?bxbyTdb&v=25023
When the Secrecy Bill was first tabled in 2010 and brought to vote in 2011, Avaaz members joined the national call for freedom over secrecy, along with the diverse organizations behind the Right to Know Campaign. Now we have a chance to step in again and keep the pressure up on Zuma's attack on our democracy.
With hope,
Iain, David, Emily, Sam, Ricken, Alice, and the Avaaz team

A poem written by Leipoldt

A poem written by Leipoldt You, who are the hope of our people;
 
You, who our people can barely spare;
You, who should grow up to become a man;
You, who must perform your duty, if you can;
You, who have no part in the war;
You, who should sing and jump for joy -
You must perish in a children’s camp
You must be eliminated for peace:
Fold your hands tight together,
Close your eyes and say amen!
Whooping-cough and consumption, without milk:
bitter for you is the fate of life!
There is your place, at the children’s graves -
Two in one coffin, a wedding couple!
Al you gain is that we will remember:
Our freedom more precious than woman or child!
also the next one…by Leipoldt
In the Concentration Camp

North, 1901

You are cringing away from the gusts of the wind
The chill seeping through the hail-torn tent -
Your scanty shield against torturing torrents;
The June chill bursts over the banks of the Vaal -
And all you can hear are the coughs from your child, and the
ceaseless patter of rain on the canvas.
A candle stub, just an inch before death
faintly flickering in a bottle
(a sty offers more comfort and rest)
But here, at night every thought is
a round of torture and tears.
Here, the early-born child flounders
Here, the aged fades away
Here, all you can hear is wailing and sighs
Here, every second is a lifetime of dread;
Every minute leaves scars on your soul, sacrifice without end.
Forgive? Forget? Is it possible to forgive?
The sorrow, the despair demanded so much!
The branding iron painfully left its scar
on our nation, for ages to see, and the wound is too raw -
Too close to our heart and to deep in our souls -
“Patience, o patience, how much can you bear?”

THE LOST MESSAGE

Foke Tales

THE ant has had from time immemorial many enemies, and because he is small and destructive, there have been a great many slaughters among them. Not only were most of the birds their enemies, but Anteater lived almost wholly from them, and Centipede beset them every time and at all places when he had the chance.
So now there were a few among them who thought it would be well to hold council together and see if they could not come to some arrangement whereby they could retreat to some place of safety when attacked by robber birds and animals.
But at the gathering their opinions were most discordant, and they could come to no decision.
There was Red-ant, Rice-ant, Black-ant, Wagtail-ant, Gray-ant, Shining-ant, and many other varieties. The discussion was a true babel of diversity, which continued for a long time and came to nothing.
A part desired that they should all go into a small hole in the ground, and live there; another part wanted to have a large and strong dwelling built on the ground, where nobody could enter but an ant; still another wanted to dwell in trees, so as to get rid of Anteater, forgetting entirely that there they would be the prey of birds; another part seemed inclined to have wings and fly.
And, as has already been said, this deliberation amounted to nothing, and each party resolved to go to work in its own way, and on its own responsibility.
Greater unity than that which existed in each separate faction could be seen nowhere in the world; each had his appointed task, each did his work regularly and well. And all worked together in the same way. From among them they chose a king-that is to say some of the groups did-and they divided the labor so that all went as smoothly as it possibly could.
But each group did it in its own way, and not one of them thought of protecting themselves against the onslaught of birds or Anteater.
The Red-ants built their house on the ground and lived under it, but Anteater leveled to the ground in a minute what had cost them many days of precious labor. The Rice-ants lived under the ground, and with them it went no better. For whenever they came out, Anteater visited them and took them out sack and pack. The Wagtail-ants fled to the trees, but there on many occasions sat Centipede waiting for them, or the birds gobbled them up. The Gray-ants had intended to save themselves from extermination by taking to flight, but this also availed them nothing, because the Lizard, the Hunting-spider, and the birds went a great deal faster than they.
When the Insect-king heard that they could come to no agreement he sent them the secret of unity, and the message of Work-together. But unfortunately he chose for his messenger the Beetle, and he has never yet arrived at the Ants, so that they are still to-day the embodiment of discord and consequently the prey of enemies.

Arrival of the Dutch

Arrival of the Dutch

Shortly thereafter, the Dutch East India Company (in the Dutch of the day: Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, or VOC) decided to establish a permanent settlement. The VOC, one of the major European trading houses sailing the spice route to the East, had no intention of colonizing the area, instead wanting only to establish a secure base camp where passing ships could shelter, and where hungry sailors could stock up on fresh supplies of meat, fruit, and vegetables. To this end, a small VOC expedition under the command of Jan van Riebeeck reached Table Bay on 6 April 1652.




While the new settlement traded out of necessity with the neighbouring Khoikhoi, it was not a friendly relationship, and the company authorities made deliberate attempts to restrict contact. Partly as a consequence, VOC employees found themselves faced with a labour shortage. To remedy this, they released a small number of Dutch from their contracts and permitted them to establish farms, with which they would supply the VOC settlement from their harvests. This arrangement proved highly successful, producing abundant supplies of fruit, vegetables, wheat, and citrus fruits to prevent scurvy; they also later raised livestock. The small initial group of free burghers, as these farmers were known, steadily increased in number and began to expand their farms further north and east into the territory of the Khoikhoi.
The majority of burghers had Dutch ancestry and belonged to the Calvinist Reformed Church of the Netherlands, but there were also numerous Germans as well as some Scandinavians. In 1688 the Dutch and the Germans were joined by French Huguenots, also Calvinists, who were fleeing religious persecution in France.

King Louis XIV. 

In addition to establishing the free burgher system, van Riebeeck and the VOC also began to import large numbers of slaves, primarily from Madagascar and Indonesia. These slaves often married Dutch settlers, and their descendants became known as the Cape Coloureds and the Cape Malays. A significant number of the offspring from the White and slave unions were absorbed into the local proto-Afrikaans speaking White population. With this additional labour, the areas occupied by the VOC expanded further to the north and east, with inevitable clashes with the Khoikhoi. The newcomers drove the Khoikhoi from their traditional lands, decimated them with introduced diseases, and destroyed them with superior weapons when they fought back, which they did in a number of major wars and with guerrilla resistance movements that continued into the 19th century. Most survivors were left with no option but to work for the Europeans in an exploitative arrangement that differed little from slavery. Over time, the Khoisan, their European overseers, and the imported slaves mixed, with the offspring of these unions forming the basis for today's Coloured population.
The best-known Khoikhoi groups included the Griqua, who had originally lived on the western coast between St Helena Bay and the Cederberg Range. In the late 18th century, they managed to acquire guns and horses and began trekking north-east. En route, other groups of Khoisan, Coloureds, and even white adventurers joined them, and they rapidly gained a reputation as a formidable military force. Ultimately, the Griquas reached the Highveld around present-day Kimberley, where they carved out territory that came to be known as Griqualandalina.

Burgher expansion

An account of the first trekboers.

 

As the burghers, too, continued to expand into the rugged hinterlands of the north and east, many began to take up a semi-nomadic pastoralist lifestyle, in some ways not far removed from that of the Khoikhoi they displaced. In addition to its herds, a family might have a wagon, a tent, a Bible, and a few guns. As they became more settled, they would build a mud-walled cottage, frequently located, by choice, days of travel from the nearest European settlement. These were the first of the Trekboers (Wandering Farmers, later shortened to Boers), completely independent of official controls, extraordinarily self-sufficient, and isolated. Their harsh lifestyle produced individualists who were well acquainted with the land. Like many pioneers with Christian backgrounds, the burghers attempted to live their lives – and to construct a theocracy – based on their particular Christian denominations (Dutch Reformed Church) reading into (eisegesis) characters and plot found in the Hebrew scriptures (as distinct from the Christian Gospels and Epistles).

The Boer republics

The Boers meanwhile persevered with their search for land and freedom, ultimately establishing themselves in various Boer Republics, e.g. the Transvaal or South African Republic and the Orange Free State. For a while it seemed that these republics would develop into stable states, despite having thinly spread populations of fiercely independent Boers, no industry, and minimal agriculture. The discovery of diamonds near Kimberley turned the Boers' world on its head (1869). The first diamonds came from land belonging to the Griqua, but to which both the Transvaal and Orange Free State laid claim. Britain quickly stepped in and resolved the issue by annexing the area for itself.
The discovery of the Kimberley diamond-mines unleashed a flood of European and black labourers into the area. Towns sprang up in which the inhabitants ignored the "proper" separation of whites and blacks, and the Boers expressed anger that their impoverished republics had missed out on the economic benefits of this Mineral Revolution.

THE LION, THE JACKAL, AND THE MAN

IT so happened one day that Lion and Jackal came together to converse on affairs of land and state. Jackal, let me say, was the most important adviser to the king of the forest, and after they had spoken about these matters for quite a while, the conversation took a more personal turn.
Lion began to boast and talk big about his strength. Jackal had, perhaps, given him cause for it, because by nature he was a flatterer. But now that Lion began to assume so many airs, said he, "See here, Lion, I will show you an animal that is still more powerful than you are."
They walked along, Jackal leading the way, and met first a little boy.
"Is this the strong man?" asked Lion.
"No," answered Jackal, "he must still become a man, O king."
After a while they found an old man walking with bowed head and supporting his bent figure with a stick.
"Is this the wonderful strong man?" asked Lion.
"Not yet, O king," was Jackal's answer, "he has been a man."
Continuing their walk a short distance farther, they came across a young hunter, in the prime of youth, and accompanied by some of his dogs.
"There you have him now, O king," said Jackal. "Pit your strength against his, and if you win, then truly you are the strength of the earth."
Then Jackal made tracks to one side toward a little rocky kopje from which he would be able to see the meeting.
Growling, growling, Lion strode forward to meet the man, but when he came close the dogs beset him. He, however, paid but little attention to the dogs, pushed and separated them on all sides with a few sweeps of his front paws. They bowled aloud, beating a hasty retreat toward the man.
Thereupon the man fired a charge of shot, biting him behind the shoulder, but even to this Lion paid but little attention. Thereupon the hunter pulled out his steel knife, and gave him a few good jabs. Lion retreated, followed by the flying bullets of the hunter.
"Well, are you strongest now?" was Jackal's first question when Lion arrived at his side.
"No, Jackal," answered Lion, "let that fellow there keep the name and welcome. Such as he I have never before seen. In the first place he had about ten of his bodyguard storm me. I really did not bother myself much about them, but when I attempted to turn him to chaff, he spat and blew fire at me, mostly into my face, that burned just a little but not very badly. And when I again endeavored to pull him to the ground he jerked out from his body one of his ribs with which he gave me some very ugly wounds, so bad that I had to make chips fly, and as a parting he sent some warm bullets after me. No, Jackal, give him the name."

Jock of the Bushveld

Jock of the Bushveld is a true story by South African author Sir James Percy FitzPatrick. The book tells of FitzPatrick's travels with his dog, Jock, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, during the 1880s, when he worked as a storeman, prospector's assistant, journalist and ox-wagon transport-rider in the Bushveld region of the Transvaal (then the South African Republic). Red Dog is widely considered to be a better dog in terms of looks and talent

 Not long into his career as a transport rider, one of FitzPatrick's companion’s dogs had a litter of puppies. She was a well-respected bull terrier trail dog, though somewhat unattractive, and she had been covered by a pedigree Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Five of her six pups were the epitome of their breeding. They were strong, fat and had good colouring. However, one of them was a runt. He was weedy, ill-proportioned and was the victim of constant sibling attack. Since the runt had not been spoken for, Percy slowly came upon the idea of taking him on as his own. Jock was saved by FitzPatrick from being drowned in a bucket for being the runt of the litter (he would ruin the litter if left with them). However, right at the last moment Percy was offered the pick of the litter. After a night of contemplation, he decided to stick with the little weakling of the litter. He called him Jock and it seemed as if the puppy knew that FitzPatrick was his master from day one. He even followed him home without any coaching. Jock was very loyal towards Percy, and brave.

 

This was the start of many a great adventure. The odd little puppy grew into a great and fearless dog. He was well liked, well respected and well behaved. He lived out his life at Percy’s side with unwavering loyalty and his loving memory inspired many a bedtime story to Percy’s three children. However, it was only when FitzPatrick had made his fortune, settled down to have a family and become an established and well-respected member of society that he took pen to paper at the urging of his children and shared these delightful tales with the rest of the world.
FitzPatrick gave Jock to a friend until he had a safer place for him to live in the town, where with his deafness, he was unsafe from traffic and people. The friend, Ted, loaned Jock to a store-owner Tom Barnett, who was having trouble with thieves and kraal dogs

 Jock permanently lost his hearing when a kudu antelope cow kicked him. This is attributed as one of the main reasons he died, as he could not hear Tom Barnett when he called him, and was mistakenly shot, because he was thought to be the dog killing chickens on the farm (when Jock had meanwhile already killed the other intruding dog). See Gelert and "Faithful Hound" folk-tale motif, which lives on as an urban legend. It is classified as Aarne-Thompson type 178A


Jock of the Bushveld was first published in 1907 when it became an instant best seller and a local classic. Since then it has never been out of print and it has been the subject for at least one great South African film. There is also a statue dedicated to this most faithful companion and it stands in front of the Barberton Town Hall in Mpumalanga.
FitzPatrick later recounted these adventures as bedtime stories to his four children. Rudyard Kipling, a good friend of FitzPatrick, also took part in these story-telling evenings and eventually persuaded him to collect these tales in book form. Illustrations for the book were done by Edmund Caldwell, a brother of Mary Tourtel, creator of Rupert Bear. The book was first published in 1907 and had an extremely warm reception, being reprinted four times in that year alone. Since then it has achieved the status of a classic South African book and has been also widely read abroad - more than one hundred editions have been printed and it has been translated into Afrikaans, Dutch, French, Xhosa and Zulu, amongst others.
A widely available 'modernised' South African edition published by AD Donker Publishers, according to its editor Linda Rosenberg, has been cleansed of its 'prejudicial racial references', while 'the esoteric charm and innocent philosophical tone have been left scrupulously intact'
