Iwould like to ask our brothers and sisters to support an Afrikaner woman here in South Africa. I will simply call her Marry. I am not handling anything here concerning money or donations on her behalf — but what I will do is put you in touch with her directly. I will first ask for her permission, and only then will I provide you with her contact details.

“The rule of law has broken down. Poor Afrikaners are among the hardest hit by this violence and economic collapse.”

— Collen Makumbirofa, Advocacy Journalist

The situation in South Africa is bad. Violence is escalating. The economy is fracturing. And among the communities suffering most acutely are poor Afrikaners — people who have been marginalised and pushed to the edges of society with very little help and even less public attention.

For many decades, Afrikaners in South Africa have faced discrimination. Labour laws have been structured to favour one racial group over others. No matter how that history is framed, laws that discriminate or favour any race are not good. All people must be treated equally — full stop. Justice cannot be selective and still call itself justice.

What I Have Witnessed

I have personally witnessed Afrikaners struggling in the streets — some with no roof over their heads, no income, no safety net. Marry is one such person. The kind of work she is doing to try to earn a living is dangerous. She deserves better. She deserves the dignity that every human being is owed.

South Africa has unique problems that outsiders rarely grasp from a distance. The collapse of governance, the erosion of public safety, the failure of institutions — these do not fall only on one community. They fall on the most vulnerable, regardless of race or background. And right now, Marry is among the most vulnerable.

I have been walking alongside communities in crisis for years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I assisted more than 600 people in Johannesburg with food parcels — working on the ground, in partnership with Africa Awake, to make sure that no one in my reach went without. That experience taught me one thing above all: when a human being is in need, the only question that matters is whether someone will step forward.

Today I am stepping forward for Marry. And I am asking you to step forward too.

“Whatever we do for the least of those around us — including the vulnerable, the sick, and the impoverished — we do for Jesus.”

Matthew 25:40

If you are moved to help, reach out to me directly. Once I have Marry’s permission, I will connect you with her personally. This is about human dignity. This is about the kind of South Africa — and the kind of world — we choose to build.
