Leon extends condolences to PW Botha’s family

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Leon extends condolences to PW Botha’s family

Democratic Alliance leader Tony Leon on Wednesday expressed sympathy and extended his condolences to former state president PW Botha’s wife and children.

Botha died at his home, Die Anker, in The Wilderness just after 8pm on Tuesday night. He was 90.

Leon said Botha’s legacy will be remembered for many years.

“On the one hand, he presided over a South Africa which was increasingly fractured and engulfed by an incipient civil war. He placed great reliance on the state security apparatus to suppress unrest.

“On the other hand it was under Mr Botha that the National Party started to turn its back on Verwoerdian apartheid,” Leon said in a statement.

He said Botha was, in many ways, described as a reformer without results.

His “Adapt or Die” call to his own party started a process which proved to be irreversible, Leon added.

“Unfortunately he was not able to see the very process he had started through to its logical and necessary conclusion.

“He was undoubtedly an impassioned champion of the area which had served as his parliamentary constituency for 40 years. He will not be forgotten,” said Leon. – Sapa
