Group calls on Afrikaners to find reasons to stay for ‘Better Ending’ for South Africa

They call themselves the Betereinders, a play on the never-say-die Betereinders – the Afrikaans resistance campaign that held back the British Empire during the South African War in the early 1900s.

But the Betereinders are on a different mission, quite literally dedicated to a better end for their country. They want to create a better South Africa for all, one good deed at a time: from fixing potholes to teaching maths and building schools.

While a steady exodus of people are leaving SA amid a failing economy and uncertain political future, the Betereinders are calling on Afrikaners to find reasons to stay: For those with money, to give. Betereinders say they’re all-round lekker people with hopes of a better country for all.

This weekend Carte Blanche meets South Africans who are finding ways to bring a divided nation together! “They believe that fixing South Africa truly begins where people meet each other outside their familiar, all-too-comfortable worlds,” says Carte Blanche.

In Afrikaans they’re called the Betereinders, and in Zulu they’re called skhokho sangempela – which means The Real Deal! “In a country torn by inequality, this group of sports fans is looking to unite a nation,” says Carte Blanche.

Don’t miss this episode on Sunday in SA, presented by Xola Ntshinga, and streamed on Showmax International from Tuesday.
