[The Suidlanders legal letter arrived on Wednesday 25th April 2018 at my house. This is the letter below in Afrikaans. I’ve translated it into English below. You will see that they are even considering laying criminal charges against me with the Police for “Crimen Injuria”.

NB: Take note that the Suidlanders are a registered Non Profit Company i.e. They fall in the category of being a charity, as I understand it.

So here is an organisation that by its counting, has 103,000 members and they’re threatening me with various actions including reporting me to the Police!

NB: This letter was not written by an attorney. This is written by one of their managers. This is “the Legal Letter” they have been threatening me with for some time. Jan]

Here is the English Translation:

NB: NWO in Afrikaans is: NPC – Non Profit Company (i.e. Charity).
Suidlander translates as Southlander.
