VOLKSTAAT COUNCIL GOES PRIVATE

THE Volkstaat Council has formally disbanded, SABC radio news reported. The council was established after the 1994 election to investigate the application of the constitutional clause acknowledging territorial self-determination of groups sharing common language and culture. Although the council has formally disbanded as a government body, it will continue to exist as a privately funded non-governmental organisation.
