White South African Family Wants “Repatriation” To Holland

Geert Wilders

A White South African family has asked far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders for help in getting citizenship in Holland, noting their ancestral lineage there as a way to escape growing racial violence back home.

“We want to go back to where we came from: Holland,” 43-year-old Lara Johnstone told Dutch newspaper the Algemene Dagblad. She and her two brothers, aged 37 and 41, are seeking repatriation.

Johnstone says her forebears, the Bosmans, left Amsterdam in 1707 to settle in the Western Cape.

The Algemene Dagblad goes on to quote Durbanite Len van Eeden, 40, who claims Dutch ancestry dating back to “around ’0″, saying he was “very worried” about race relations in South Africa.

“We are stuck here in South Africa. We are getting worried. We do not have extreme right-wing ideas, but are simply ‘moderate Whites’,” he said. He said the murder of AWB leader Eugene Terre’Blanche got him thinking about his future.

The move follows the successful petition for refugee status in Canada by White South African Brandon Huntley, who claimed racial persecution.

In a petition sent to Wilders this week, the Johnstones asked if the leader of the Partij Voor de Vrijheid (Party for Freedom, PVV) can assist “White Afrikaner refugees with Dutch ancestry” to attain Dutch nationality.

Wilders’ public relations consultant, Gaelle de Graaff, said the party leader was “very, very busy preparing for an election” and would not have time to respond to inquiries about the issue.

“The Dutch government ‘has a very special responsibility towards all South Africans of Dutch descent,” said Kees van der Staaij, chairman of the Staatkundig-Gereformeerde Party (SGP).

“If they are targetted by violence, they should also be accepted as asylum-seekers in the Netherlands.”
