The Hero That Destroys Their Lie, Is The Hero Who Served With Afrikaners.
During World War Two, June 1942, when Tobruk fell to Rommel's German Afrika Korps, over 10,000 South African soldiers were taken prisoner together. Black and white, Afrikaner and English, they had fought side by side. The Germans separated, shipping white prisoners to Europe while forcing black soldiers to labour in North Africa. Sergeant Reuben Moloi of the 11th Field Ambulance was put to work unloading German ammunition at Mersa Matruh.
He had other plans.
Moloi escaped through a gap in the fence and began walking. Two hundred kilometres across open North African desert. Through active minefields. No map. No compass. No food. No water. For seventeen days and nights, he navigated by instinct and iron will, scavenging from burnt-out vehicles littering the battlefield. A local risked his life to give him water and point him toward Allied lines.
He made it. He brought back intelligence about German operations. On 31 October 1942, Afrikaner, Major General Frank Theron pinned the Military Medal to his chest.
War artist Neville Lewis painted Moloi's portrait alongside fellow heroes Lucas Majosi and Job Maseko. These men served under Afrikaner and English-speaking officers who recognised their courage, recommended them for medals, and served beside them in the desert heat.
After the war, Moloi joined the Johannesburg Municipal Police. By 1956, he had risen to Sergeant Major, the highest rank a black policeman had achieved in that city. The Rand Daily Mail photographed him in uniform. He built a life of dignity and service under an Afrikaner-led government that promoted him on merit. He earned their respect like many others like him.
In March 1985, an elderly Moloi attended a military history society meeting in Johannesburg. When introduced, he received appreciative applause. One of the last documented moments of a man who walked through minefields into freedom.
Now ask yourself the hard question.
Why don't South African children know his name? Why isn't Reuben Moloi taught in schools? Over 123,000 non-white South Africans served alongside their white countrymen in World War II. They earned 119 medals for gallantry. They buried 1,519 of their own. Where are their statues? The much needed roles models for our youth? Where are the schools named after these heroes?
Under the command of Afrikaner Prime Minister the bigger hospital in the Southern Hemisphere was built for black South Africans, which started as a hospital for black Soldiers who served in WW2.
The ANC regime that claims to honour heroes has buried these men in silence. They buried a history, to promote a revisioned history. A half truth. No Reuben Moloi Primary School. No Hermans Chaka and Private Springkaan Masemula streets. No Job Maseko Avenue until recently. No place in the national curriculum. Our heroes of all races and history deleted by a morally corrupt organisation.
Why?
Because their stories destroy the narrative. Moloi served under Afrikaner officers who valued him. He was decorated by Afrikaner generals. He was promoted by an Afrikaner government. He wore a police uniform with pride and served his community for decades.
This is the history they don't want you to see. Not because Afrikaners hid it, but because those who hate Afrikaners needed it hidden. The anti-Afrikaner narrative required erasing every friendship, every alliance, every moment of mutual respect between Afrikaners and their fellow Africans.
If you were told Afrikaners had no black allies, no African friends, no history of shared sacrifice and recognition, you were told a lie. You were fed propaganda. And it worked.
Sergeant Reuben Moloi MM walked 200 kilometres through hell. He earned his medal. He earned his rank. He earned his place in history. And he earned respect from the Afrikaners he served with.
