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.
