In light of the fact that the University of Cape Town gave in to the racist demands for the removal of the statue of Cecil John Rhodes, followed by protests at the University of Kwazulu Natal for the removal of the statue of King George V, Front National approached the University of Oxford and also the University of Cambridge asking for intervention.
Apart from appealing both institutions to offer to take the statues of colonial history which is now targeted, into safekeeping, Front National also appealed to Oxford University to suspend awarding any more Rhodes Scholarships to students of the University of Cape Town until such time as the racist attack on symbols of European achievement in South Africa has stopped.
Following a demand by the ANC Youth League this morning for the removal of the famed statue of pres Paul Kruger on Church Square in Pretoria, Front National lodged an urgent appeal with both the University of Leiden in the Netherlands and with the office of His Majesty, King Willem Alexander in The Hague to intervene by offering to take into custodianship any symbol or statue of Afrikaner/Boer history destroyed by the racist ANC regime and their followers.
This appeal is based on the historical ties of blood, culture and heritage with the Netherlands and also on the fact that it was the great grandmother of the King, Queen Wilhelmina, whose intervention in 1900 prevented the elderly statesman from being taken prisoner of war by his enemies.
Front National will now call on all our supporters and partners abroad to assist us in preventing the senseless and barbaric destruction of 500 years of history, thereby denying the European contribution to the formation of Southern Africa as we know it today.
