The Ghost of a Dying Dream: A Critique of Siener Van Rensburg

“The Ghost of a Dying Dream: A Critique of Siener van Rensburg” is a blistering takedown of the myth and ideology surrounding South Africa’s so-called prophet. It exposes how his visions, once a product of historical paranoia, have mutated into a dangerous fantasy clung to by those unwilling to accept reality. From the self-fulfilling prophecies of racial war to the toxic delusion of Afrikaner resurgence, this essay dismantles the faith that keeps a dying movement alive. More than just a critique, it’s a call to abandon superstition, embrace reason, and confront the future without the crutch of prophecy.
