Zuma to meet prominent Afrikaners

African National Congress deputy president Jacob Zuma is meeting a group of prominent Afrikaners in Johannesburg on Monday evening to discuss Afrikaner issues.

Organiser for the meeting Liesl Göttert said it was a private meeting hosted by De Kat magazine publisher Elzilda Becker.

Those expected to attend include writer Dan Roodt, Solidarity’s Kallie Kriel, movie maker Leon Schuster, singer Steve Hofmeyr, photographer Paul Alberts, actress Brümilda van Rensburg, a representative from the Pro-Afrikaanse Aksiegroep, Sean Else, who co-wrote the song De la Rey, and the Pendoring awards founder, writer Wilma de Bruin.

“It is people who specifically wanted to see him [Zuma] and who are taking Afrikaner issues quite seriously,” said Gottert.—Sapa
