BURGHER GRAVE CLEAN UP PROCESS – BATTLE OF FREDERIKSTAD

On the 6th of February 2016, a few Boer’s got together under the initiative of Rudie Rousseau, to clean the graves of the perished Burghers of the Battle of Frederikstad, which is situated at the station.

Note that history is always written by the victor for the benefit of themselves and the loser is always discredited.The monuments and statues were put up and built by the Afrikaner after the War, just as the Boer history has been re-written to make the Afrikaner the beneficiary of the Boer’s brave heritage and country. The freemason signs and symbolism has nothing to do with the Boers. These monuments and statues only testify to the continued destruction of the Boervolk by the Afrikaner and that the Boers quietly exist under the domination of their genociders. The Afrikaner yearly celebrate their dominance and occupation of the Boer Republics on these premises which represents the history of the Boers and attribute the casualties to the demon god they worship. Any and all indications or references of “Afrikaner” or “voortrekker” on any of the Boer graves, statues or monuments is fraud by the Afrikaner.

All was excited and started immediately.
Firstly the grass needed to be cut short and all the rocks outlying the graves, needed to be moved.

Thereafter all the rocks was packed back to outline the graves.

The rocks was then whitewashed and everybody, including the children, started to paint the fence.

Everyone was tired, but the end result was most satisfactory.
