RELEASE - FRIDAY MESSAGE - PICTURE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS
Or rather just 10.
These words are fundamental in the process of organisational building we are currently under going here at the AU.
The failure of many organisations, is the failure to organise. An organisation is ultimately a form - a framework that gives structure. However, we hurdling into the 2020's having very little grounding as to the way the world is moving.
We are moving into a prevaxx, prepost-CoVid world where we have reached peak-consumption, soon too peak-healthcare, and are seeing the rise of executive power against the citizenry; who will collapse, as they are based on ideas of the 19th & 20th centuries; so we are seeing the dissolution of the frameworks which have underpinned the structures of the current, "this". Change is unstoppable.
To discipline oneself to Building in a state of collapse is what brings radical Change!
The AU is Building and Organising, not for the past but because of it.
"To a future, saam in Afrika!"

MULTIMEDIA RELEASE - ANGLO- WHAT?
Often I am asked, "Dean, what is this Anglo, Anglokaner thing?"
The Anglokaner, in ways similar to the Afrikaner, denote a people that have come from a different area of Europe that live where, Joseph Conrad would later call, "the dark heart of Africa".
If anything, the many nationed European continent is a diverse expression of a Solar consciousness.
When this diverse expression came into contact with that heart, it would be clear that a new and different expression would be born. Southern Africa was the incubator for many new and budding identities.
One such identity, was the Anglo *Rhodesian*. In the words of many a strong and courageous nation & people.
It was at first a misidentification. As we have spoken about the "South African" identity, denoting a compass direction of a place on a map; "Rhodesia", was named after Cecil J. Rhodes.
When realised, UDI was declare not from the UK, but from *Rhodes* himself, it was an expression of an organised Anglokaner.

Today is the 38th anniversary of the Church Street bombing. During rush hour on Friday 20 May 1983 a car bomb was set off outside the Nedbank Square Building in Church Street, Pretoria. The perpetrators were the African National Congress' paramilitary wing - Umkhonto we Sizwe - a terrorist organisation.
The bomb killed 17 and wounded 217 innocent civilians, mostly women and children. Two of the perpetrators accidentally killed themselves in the blast.
Many of the victims were so badly mutilated from the blast that the police and medical teams had trouble identifying the victims.
Nelson Mandela and his friends killed 17 South Africans and wounded hundreds more. Never forget.

MULTIMEDIA RELEASE - THE CULTURE WAR CONTINUES
Here we have a short snippet which expresses the position of anti-civilising forces within our Institutions that have adopted Cultural Marxist/Neo-Communist response to Western Culture birthed in Africa. This clip is in relation to the Constitutional court hearing against the University of South Africa's (UNISA) recent removal of Afrikaans as an academic medium.
We at the AU have been focusing on the salvaging and have been working towards the reclaimation of that which can be reclaimed.
However, the creation of our own institutions is equally important.
More on this soon.
We at the AU continue our war cry, AFRIKAANS ZAL BLIJVEN! AZB!

In 1658, war erupted between the Dutch settlers at Cape Colony and the Khoi-khoi. In order to protect the settlement, all able bodied men were conscripted. After the conclusion of this war, all men in the colony were liable for military service and were expected to be ready on short notice.
By 1700, the size of the colony had increased immensely and it was divided into districts. The small military garrison stationed at the Castle de Goede Hoop could not be counted on to react swiftly in the border districts, therefore the commando system was expanded and formalized. Each district had a Kommandant who was charged with calling up all burghers in times of need. In 1795, with the First British Occupation and again in 1806 with the Second British Occupation, the commandos were called up to defend the Cape Colony. At the Battle of Blaauwberg (6 January 1806), the Swellendam Commando held the British off long enough for the rest of the Batavian army to retreat to safety.
Under British rule, the Cape Colony continued to use the commando system in its frontier wars, in addition to regular British imperial troops. Boer commandos fought alongside Fengu, British settlers, Khoi-khoi and other ethnic groups in units which were often mixed. Light, mobile commandos were undeniably better-suited than the slow-moving columns of imperial troops, for warfare in the rough frontier mountains. However, tensions often arose in the Cape's government over the relative merits and control of these two parallel military systems.
During the Great Trek, this system was used and remained in use in the Boer republics. Both republics issued commando laws, making commando service mandatory in times of need for all male citizens between the ages of 16 and 60. During the Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902) the Boer commando formed the backbone of the Boer forces.
After the declaration of peace in 1902, the commandos were disbanded. They did re-form themselves in clandestine "shooting clubs". In 1912, the commandos were re-formed as an Active Citizen Force in the Union Defence Force.

Structure
Each commando was attached to a town, after which it was named (e.g. Bloemfontein Commando). Each town was responsible for a district, divided into wards. The commando was commanded by a kommandant and each ward by a veldkornet or field cornet (equivalent of a senior NCO rank).
The veldkornet was responsible not only for calling up the burghers, but also for policing his ward, collecting taxes, issuing firearms and other materiel in times of war. Theoretically, a ward was divided into corporalships. A corporalship was usually made up of about 20 burghers. Sometimes entire families (fathers, sons, uncles, cousins) filled a corporalship.
The veldkornet was responsible to the kommandant, who in turn was responsible to a general. In theory, a general was responsible for four commandos. He in turn was responsible to the commander-in-chief of the republic. In the Transvaal, the C-in-C was called the Commandant-General and in the Free State the Hoofdkommandant (Chief Commandant). The C-in-C was responsible to the president.
Other auxiliary ranks were created in war time, such as vleiskorporaal ("meat corporal"), responsible for issuing rations.
The commando was made up of volunteers, all officers were appointed by the members of the commando, and not by the government. This gave a chance for some commanders to appear, such as General Koos de la Rey and General C. R. de Wet, but also had the disadvantage of sometimes putting inept commanders in charge. Discipline was also a problem, as there was no real way of enforcing it.
The various Boer republics did not all have the same command structure.
