One Settler, One Bullet

One Settler, One Bullet was a rallying cry and slogan originated by the Azanian People's Liberation Army (APLA) - the armed wing of the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) - during the era of apartheid. Although APLA became famous for this wildly popular slogan, the organisation was never able to launch a particularly effective guerilla campaign. The extreme Africanism of the PAC never became as popular as the nationalism of the African National Congress (ANC) and the PAC is now (as of 2006) a minor political party.

The "Settler" referenced to in the slogan implied all South African Whites, especially those supporting apartheid, while the "Bullet" implied shooting/killing them.

One settler, One bullet was the war cry of APLA. Settler refer to the benificiaries of colonialism. Since the the APLA struggle was the continuation of the indiginous Africans struggle against the European invaders. One bullet implies that the Africans are no longer tolerating to be exploited and dispossed they are willing kill for the repossesion of they land.

Variants

• "Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer" - competing slogan reportedly originated by Peter Mokaba of the ANC
• "One Boer, One Bullet" - slogan reportedly used in 2005 by anti-Afrikaans language protesters at the University of Pretoria. While "One Settler, One Bullet" called for the extermination of all South African Whites, this variant specifically targets the Afrikaners (also referred to as Boers), who are commonly associated with South Africa's apartheid past.
