Largest Land Claim in South Africa: old Boer Republic. The political party Front National is lodging the single largest land claim in South African history to the Land Commissioner in Pretoria on Thursday, April 24.

Largest Land Claim in South Africa: old Boer Republic

The claim will test the legitimacy, honesty and objectivity of the ANC-government regarding land claims. The claim for the land, stretching from Ohrigstad eastwards to include the Kruger National Park, is the first of several claims being prepared. Front National claims that the intention of the Deed of Sale was to put the land under the guardianship of the “Dutch South African nation” as an ethnic group and was NOT intended as a sale to the then, or later, governments but for utilisation by the descendants now known as Afrikaner/Boer.

CLAIMANTS: I present the land claim on behalf of the natural descendants of the Dutch South African nation, commonly known as the Afrikaner or Boer. Marvel.com. POD Maatschappelijke Integratie.

Google Street View Comes Aboard Emirates' Luxurious A380

In celebration of the fifth anniversary of the A380′s launch on Emirates, the airline partnered with Google to bring the first Street View tour of an airliner, and they couldn’t pick a more luxurious plane. Since the A380′s launch in 2008, it’s covered 265 million kilometers over 20,000 trips and served 35 million meals, 6,314 kilos of caviar, 2,153,988 cups of coffee, 14 million bread rolls, and — mercifully — handed out over 1 million toothbrushes while shuttling over 18 million passengers on its 21-strong fleet.

When we had the chance to check out the A380 in person, we would’ve been content with the $1,500 “cheap seats” that included 500 channels served up on a 9-inch TV and the gyroscopic cup holder.
