AfriForum Jeug se Kovsies-tak en AfriForum het gister \u2019n voorlegging ingedien wat die bedekking en verwydering van die M.T. Steyn-standbeeld op die kampus van die Universiteit van die Vrystaat (UV) teenstaan. D\u00edt volg nadat die UV-bestuur belanghebbendes slegs vyf dae gegee het om insae te lewer met betrekking tot die verwydering van die standbeeld van di\u00e9 oudpresident van die Oranje-Vrystaat. Die\u00a0 voorgestelde plan om die standbeeld te verwyder is deel van die UV-studenteraad se transformasiebeleid.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns glo in kulturele vryheid, wat wedersydse erkenning en respek vir mekaar se erfenis, taal en kultuur behels. AfriForum Jeug wil h\u00ea daar moet \u2019n kultuur van inklusiwiteit op kampus heers, maar as een groep se erfenis nie welkom is nie, hoe moet alle studente welkom voel?\u201d s\u00ea Chantelle du Preez, voorsitter van AfriForum Jeug se Kovsies-tak.<\/p>\n
AfriForum Jeug en AfriForum het veral hul ongelukkigheid uitgespreek met die proses om die standbeeld te verwyder. \u201cDie kampusbestuur gebruik die sogenaamde proses as rookskerm om belanghebbendes te paai, terwyl hulle reeds besluit het om van die standbeeld ontslae te raak,\u201d s\u00ea Ohann Fourie, AfriForum Jeug se nasionale ko\u00f6rdineerder vir kampusstrukture.<\/p>\n
Du Preez s\u00ea verder dat AfriForum Jeug beplan om \u2019n veldtog te loods om die verwydering van die standbeeld teen te staan. \u201cOns wil studente inlig oor wie M.T. Steyn werklik was. Weens Asive Dlanjwa, president van die studenteraad, se uitlatings, is studente onder die indruk dat M.T. Steyn apartheid begin het, wat nie die geval is nie \u2013 M.T. Steyn is reeds in 1916 oorlede, \u2019n geruime tyd voor apartheid ingestel is.\u201d<\/p>\n
M.T. Steyn se standbeeld is nie net belangrik vir die Afrikanerkultuur nie, maar ook vir die Suid Afrikaanse erfenis in sy geheel. \u201cOns gaan dus alle belanghebbendes betrek om seker te maak dat ons erfenis ook vir komende generasies beskerm word,\u201d sluit Du Preez af.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
