To understand our position and decisions, it's important to recognize that within the Afrikaner community, there are two distinct groups. We belong to the Boers, a term traditionally used to describe Afrikaner farmers, believing in the supremacy of God, the creator of heaven and earth. We are a simple people who strive to do what's right and keep things straightforward. Our moral and ethical framework divides issues into two categories: "closed hand" and "open hand." Closed-hand issues represent matters on which we hold firm and agree. Open-hand issues allow for debate and disagreement. We can engage in discussion and debate without resorting to division. We value honesty and transparency, and we don't engage in double-speak. As conservatives accept that people are communal creatures who naturally want to become part of and contribute to something bigger than their individualistic selves, that people have the capacity to do good especially when good people work together in the promotion of the common good but also that people are sinful by nature with the capacity to do evil, especially when they become disengaged from their communities and when they lose track of what is good, that people will always out perform each other depending on the activities they are engaged with. That some people will generally perform better while it is also true that no one is able to outperform everyone in everything due to the fact that people have unique skillsets and interests and personalities that everything in the universe whether we are talking about human beings plants, animals and everything in between has a particular nature that people and things for that matter cannot be perfected.
