If white South Africans don\u2019t put their money and votes into the ideal of self-determination now\u201a the sell-out of 1994 will be complete,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The party leader said that the exodus of white people represented a brain drain, as most of the people leaving are skilled and educated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This bodes ill for South Africa as a whole. It is fast turning into a typical third world African country that will never be able to return to normality with such an influx of foreigners and exit of skilled people,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Front National is a right-wing party formed in 2013. The group believes in the self-determination of Afrikaners, and promotes secession of white people from South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>The party contested the 2014 National Election and secured just over 5,100 votes.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More on race relations<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to Black vs white household spending in South Africa\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/lifestyle\/137003\/white-vs-black-household-spending-in-south-africa\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Black vs white household spending in South Africa<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to Zuma, not whites, exploiting black South Africans \u2013 BCM\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/government\/136425\/zuma-not-whites-exploiting-black-south-africans-bcm\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Zuma, not whites, exploiting black South Africans \u2013 BCM<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to White males still dominate top management positions in South Africa\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/government\/135933\/white-males-still-dominate-top-management-positions-in-south-africa\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">White males still dominate top management positions in South Africa<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to Black vs white middle class in South Africa\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/business\/134749\/black-vs-white-middle-class-in-south-africa\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Black vs white middle class in South Africa<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leader of political party Front National, Hannes Engelbrecht, says that unless white South Africans realise self-determination, in five years&#8217; time the Afrikaner will end up as a fragmented community spread across the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":61403,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9876],"tags":[26],"class_list":["post-138379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle","tag-headline"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138379"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138379\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":138385,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138379\/revisions\/138385"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61403"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
