AfriForum Youth today expressed their concern regarding the gross discriminatory utterances contained in the Wessels Report of the Potchefstroom Campus of the North West University, which has leaked out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Wessels Report forms part of the final council report which was submitted to the Minister of Higher Education last week.<\/p>\n
The Wessels Report refers to the \u201cproblem\u201d at the NWU as students who come from \u201cAfrikaner-based\u201d high schools, and makes the recommendation that a process of \u201cnormalisation\u201d be “enforced\u201d where Afrikaners are \u201cdiluted\u201d and \u201cremoved\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe information in the Wessels Report clearly indicates that the report is discriminatory towards Afrikaners. AfriForum Youth is still attempting to get hold of the final report to confirm whether the racist and discriminatory utterances in the report, which attacks the human dignity of Afrikaners as a community, are taken into consideration,\u201d Henk Maree, National Chairman of AfriForum Youth, said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe content of the Wessels Report is a human rights issue which needs attention before any further steps can be taken in the probe. We cannot accept a South Africa in which the identity of communities is discredited,\u201d Maree said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The legal team of AfriForum Youth has been busy since last week with negotiations with the NWU-Puk management to gain access to information in the final report. The reason for their application for the report is to determine to what extent the report forms part of the final report.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe warn against radical organisations that are trying to use the report for political reasons to undermine the Afrikaner,\u201d\u00a0 Maree concluded.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
