The Afrikaner groups who attended a meeting with ANC president Jacob Zuma are betrayers to the Afrikaner nation, the Afrikaner Volksparty said on Friday.Spokesman Sydney Gregan said Afrikaners knew who they were and Zuma did not need to tell them.
Blasting the "traitorous" Broederbond, Transvaal Landbou Unie (TLU-SA) and the "rejectable" Federasie van Afrikaanse Kultuurvereniging (FAK) Gregan said the groups that attended the meeting were in cahoots with Zuma, the leader of the "communist" ANC.
"These organisations, through taking this step, have reconciled themselves with the repressed and humiliating position that the Afrikaner finds himself in today," Gregan said.
"Zuma so flattered and comforted all these organisations that they, after receiving assurances from Zuma, should not have any problem to vote for the ANC in the coming general elections."
The meeting had caused a division in the Afrikaner representative groups, according to Gregan.
"Those individuals that were present at the meeting, alternatively approving of it, have proved themselves to be dishonest Afrikaners who cannot be trusted with the future of the Afrikaner nation," Gregan said.
In Sandton on Thursday Zuma said: "Of all the white groups that are in South Africa, it is only the Afrikaners that are truly South Africans in the true sense of the word."
Opposition parties condemned Zuma's statement with the DA saying that Zuma revealed an ethnically and racially "blinkered" world view in conflict with the Constitution.
The Congress of the People said Zuma had given the Constitution short-thrift.
"In South African we are all equal. Someone must give him a copy of the Constitution," Cope spokesman Sipho Ngwema said.
