ANC Circular No 213-6, June 1993

The lived experiences of white South African minorities, particularly Afrikaans-speaking communities, are marked by systemic marginalization through policies like Black Economic Empowerment (BEE), the BELA Act, the National Health Insurance (NHI) Act of 2023, and proposed PSIRA amendments, which limit economic opportunities, access to mother-tongue education, and private security, aligning with the ANC Circular No 213-6 of June 1993’s vision of redistributing wealth and power.

These measures, combined with ongoing land redistribution efforts and violent rhetoric such as “Kill the Boer,” create a climate of economic exclusion, cultural erosion, and physical insecurity, positioning white minorities as second-class citizens in a framework that echoes the circular’s strategic intent.

The ANC Circular No 213-6, issued in June 1993, outlines a deliberate strategy by the African National Congress to dismantle the socioeconomic dominance of white South Africans post-apartheid through targeted economic, psychological, and institutional tactics.

Below is the full text of the circular, detailing these strategies and their intended outcomes:

THE SUCCESS STORY : OUR STRUGLE FOR LIBERATION

1. The armed and constant threat of violence forced the white spineless regime to negotiate for so-called peace.
2. The psychological warfare through the churches to create a guilt complex with white was a victory over Christians.
3. The MASS ACTION was a successfull method to rip the nation economy to pieces and create panic of the rich settlers.
4. The constant uproar in Black Education is the fourth step to liberation through education because white regime simple cannot meet all our demans.
5. All four tactical attacks leaves the regime powerless and gradualy giving in to our demands.
6. All these help to create a feeling of helplessness and despair and to loose confidence in their government.
   Be careful not to upset the farmers too much before we gain control over the SAP and SADF.
7. The constant pressure of violence and economic uncertainty force De Klerk to surrender power to the oppressed people.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION STRATEGY AFTER APRIL 27, 1994

The greatest fear of the white settler is to loos his job, his farm or house and all the luxuries. This will enable the new DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT to tax them to the upmost, while our comrades in MK and APLA continue with their part of the struggle.

1. Surplus land will be redistributed among our people.
2. All positions in public services will be replaced by comrades.
3. The security forces will be reconstructed with our comrades to protect our people. Whites were protected for 350 years.
   Let them experience to be second class citizens.
4. No ammunition will be available to white settlers.
5. Health institutions will be africanised and whites will pay according to their income to enable them to contribute to their liberated brothers.
6. Some white schools will be allowed because most settlers will pay their last cent for white education and this will provide more money for our people.
7. Pension fund and insurance companies collected billions over the years, will be to our disposal for education of our comrades in the years to come.
