Trade union Solidarity plans on investing billions to make South Africa “safer” and “more prosperous” for Afrikaners. The plan, called the “Helpmekaar Plan” will including the building of a private university for Afrikaans students, with millions allocated for scholarships.

It also plans to build a language centre, improve community safety, alleviate poverty, provide technical training and focus on “heritage conservation and history projects to safeguard the Afrikaans culture“.

The Solidarity group will not be financed by large state funds but rather by small contributions from ordinary people, according to BusinessTech.

The group will be meeting on 10 October to discuss the way forward and announce the plan. On a website set up for the meeting, Solidarity quotes Paul Kruger (we know, right?). The quote says: take the good from the past and build on it.

And Solidarity say that these words will “still echo in the hearts of Afrikaners who want to stay and help build South Africa”.
