Know your adversary.

You read this?

Twice.

Leah Nomalizo Shenxane.

We've been married so long,

I don't even remember...

how long.

But every day,

you surprise me more...

and more.

Come, come.

Go over to the goat.

Oh. Yes.

What do you advise me?

Salute!

Salute.

Salute.

Salute!

Salute.

Salute!

Salute.

Blomfeld!

You like my wall, Kruger?

Yeah, I like it.

The kaffirs are up to something.

You should take the kaffirs

down a peg.

You know what

"Paradise Lost" is, Kruger?

A nightclub?

It's a poem, you clutch plate,

about me.

F*** you.

Aaah!

Down!

Get down.

Get the f*** down, you f***ers!

Down!

Down!

Down. Now.

Do you want a f***ing lockdown,

you animals?

No, sir!

Are there rules

here, you bastards?

Yes, sir!

Whose f***ing rules are they?

Yours, sir!

Whose f***ing rules are they?

Yours, sir!

Don't you forget it.

No, sir!

Salute

Salute!

You're a man now, Idukwe.

Ex-President F.W. de Klerk

started off with

what Desmond Tutu later called

a handsome apology.

Apartheid was wrong.

I apologize in my capacity

as leader of the National Party

to the millions

of South Africans

who suffered

the wrenching disruption

of forced removals

in respect of their homes,

businesses, and land,

who over the years

suffered the shame

of being arrested

for pass law offenses.

Hansie?

What?

The fete, Melissa's school fete.

You should come.

They'll wonder why

you aren't there.

Who for a long time were...

Sanette and Jan are coming.

I told them we'd all go

for a braai with the kids.

A braai.

Yeah, let's go for a braai.

I'll say this for those blacks,

at least their leaders

stand by their men.

To the millions

of South Africans

who suffered

the wrenching disruption

of forced removals in respect

of their homes,

businesses, and land,

who over the years

suffered the shame

of being arrested

for pass law offenses.

Who over the decades

and indeed centuries

suffered the indignities

and humiliation

of racial discrimination.

The head of the ANC's legal department,

Matthews Phosa,

remarked afterwards

that de Klerk sat in Pretoria

and knew everything that went on

in the ANC's Quattro camp

in faraway Angola,

but nothing about Vlakplaas...

So, you're back, huh?

Glutton for it, are we?

So you have whipped that pig de Klerk.

So what?

So,

we are living in Technicolor.

Now they are saying

that it's time for

the rainbow nation

to unite.

That's what they're saying,

is it?

You, white boy in Hout Bay,

with an up and under

behind the door?

Terre Blanche and the AWB.

You Green and Golds, is it?

Sh*t, man, that is buffalo dung.

You know, Mr. Blomfeld,

when I left here last time,

I didn't just even think,
