'Apartheid is nie deur FW de Klerk se genade beëindig'
2010-02-05 23:42
Alicestine October
Kaapstad. - Suid-Afrika se demokratiese oorgang is nie danksy oudpres. F.W. de
Klerk se genade nie.
Só het mnr. Fikile Mbalula, adjunk-minister van polisie, gister gesê toe hy die
ANC se reëlings vir die 20ste herdenking van oudpres. Nelson Mandela se
vrylating hier bekend gemaak het.
"Dit is nie deur FW se genade nie, maar deur die harde werk en sweet van ons
mense. Dit is nie 'n katastrofe wat afgeweer is nie, maar eerder 'n optog na
oorwinning wat onkeerbaar was."
Mbalula het gesê die apartheidsregering was "onvolhoubaar" en die enigste keuse
was om oor te gee.
Sy stellings volg te midde van die herdenking van De Klerk se historiese
toespraak wat die vrylating van Mandela en die ontbanning van die ANC gelas het.
Mbalula het gesê die vrylating van Mandela was nie net Mandela se oorwinning
nie, maar die oorwinning van die ANC en die mense.
Hy het ook gesê Mandela en sy familie sal saam met oudstryders en gevangenes
soos mnr. Ahmed Kathrada die vieringe by die Drakenstein-gevangenis (voorheen
Victor Verster-gevangenis) buite die Paarl bywoon.
Me. Winnie Madikizela-Mandela en pres. Jacob Zuma sal ook die verrigtinge
bywoon. "Ons verwag tussen 10?000 en 20?000 mense," het hy gesê.
