No state funeral for PW Botha

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.

No state funeral for PW Botha

Former president P W Botha, who is to be laid to rest next week, will not have a state funeral, according to a spokesman for the church where his memorial service is to be held.

The news follows a visit on Wednesday by director general in the presidency Frank Chikane to Botha’s wife Barbara at the couple’s home in the coastal town of Wilderness.

Drew de Kock, manager of the Dutch Reformed Church in George, where the memorial service will be held on November 8, said after the meeting that it would not be a state funeral.

The last person to have a state funeral in South Africa was African National Congress struggle stalwart Walter Sisulu, who was buried in Soweto in 2003.

Mrs Botha told Sapa on Wednesday morning that her husband, who died peacefully at home on Tuesday night at the age of 90, had not wanted a state funeral.

“He was not a man that looked for honour and glory,” she said.

The service, open to the public, will be followed by a private interment at Hoekwil, a settlement above Wilderness where Botha’s first wife, Elise, is buried. – Sapa
