Quote of the week

Such traditions that are culturally embedded in the white, male, Afrikaans culture and history, which are the basis of the Nagligte traditions, do not foster inclusion of other groups that must now form the new majority of the SU student body. Wilgenhoffers do not seem to appreciate the negative impact of their culture and rituals on the personal rights of certain individuals. This is because they elevate belonging to the Wilgenhof group above the rights of the individual.

Did he fall off his horse?

This excerpt from SABC TV news in 1989 is quite a stark reminder of a time when the AWB was thought to be politically important and when their stupid stunts were reported as news on the SABC. No sign of Eugene Terreblanche though – maybe he fell off his horse on the way to the swimming pool?
