For the South African descendants of the Dutch, South Africa is the only home they have ever known, and even though they installed apartheid, when it fell they stayed on the land they have grown to love over years as the nation made the transition to a democratic developmental state, warts and all.

Unlike the rest of the continent the South African liberation struggle did not destroy the infrastructure of the country. Yet by promoting regional conflicts the old apartheid state engaged in proxy wars backed by the U.

Angola, Mozambique and Namibia were the scenes of horrific wars with direct South African intervention for decades, and they are only now recovering. The Democratic Republic of the Congo hosted Che Guevara, as a revolutionary guerilla fighting side by side with the liberation army, for a time in the early s, after the legitimate government of Patrice Lumumba was overthrown, in part by the CIA with racist South African government assistance, and the dictatorial regime of Mobuto Sese Seko was foisted upon the people.

One of the major issues of the revolutionary youth was the attempt by the apartheid government to make the learning of the ancient Dutch language of Afrikaans mandatory for all South Africans.

Now, in South Africa, we have 12 official languages, so no one is forced to learn a language they do not want. But millions of Black South Africans speak Afrikaans each day and tens of thousands are trying to learn it in schools throughout the country. One of my friends is a director of the University of Pretoria, a former bastion of Afrikaner power where Afrikaans is the language of instruction. But they all benefited from it.

There is no bigger event on UK television or online than the World Cup and ITV will be at the heart of the action from the first kick through to the final whistle. The BBC has some of the most appetising of the group fixtures, and will be showing live every England match from their final group game onwards, so we hope to be with them for a long and successful campaign.
