Top Afrikaner leaders & ANC NEC members meet…

“Robust” talks have been held between top Afrikaner leaders - including Kallie Kriel, Flip Buys and Dirk Hermann, and African National Congress (ANC) NEC members. In this interview with BizNews, Dr. Theuns Eloff of the Afrikaner Leadership Network describes how the meeting was set up and facilitated the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC). Although there is an agreement between the parties not to comment on the contents of the discussions until there is concrete progress to report, Dr Eloff described the talks thus: “…it was difficult, and it is clear that there are misunderstandings, misperceptions on both sides. And we basically said, despite that, we may not like each other, but...we owe the country this to go forward and look for solutions.” He says the fact that “the Trump Sword is hanging over the country and also over the ANC …brings a bit of urgency…” Meanwhile, today and tomorrow, the three parties will nominate four people each to serve on a smaller task team to iron out some of the issues in the process - and report back in two weeks. “Obviously, we as the African Leadership Network also do it for the Afrikaner community and other minorities, but we also do it for the country because if we don't get this thing with the Americans right, as a country we're in trouble.”
