“Suid-Afrikaners<\/span> in die algemeen<\/span> verstaan<\/span> \u200b\u200bnie die belangrikheid van ons<\/span> geskiedenis nie,<\/span>” het Wolpe ges\u00ea<\/span>.<\/span> “<\/span>Ons vier<\/span> nie wat<\/span> ons<\/span> nalatenskap<\/span> regtig beteken nie<\/span>, d<\/span>is duidelik<\/span> wanneer<\/span> dit kom by <\/span>Erfenisdag wat<\/span> verander het in<\/span> Braai<\/span>dag.<\/span> Ons moet<\/span> wie en wat ons<\/span> is<\/span>, weet wie drie<\/span> maande voor die<\/span> inhegtenisname van<\/span> Nelson<\/span> Mandela<\/span> en ander belangrike<\/span> leiers gebore is<\/span>, en hulle te identifiseer<\/span> as leiers<\/span> van die vryheidsbeweging<\/span> op 11 Julie<\/span> 1963<\/span>.<\/span>“<\/span><\/p>\n

“Plekke <\/span>soos<\/span> Liliesleaf<\/span> Farm<\/span> is<\/span> belangrik<\/span> vir toekomstige geslagte<\/span>,<\/span> want hulle<\/span> is die behoud van die<\/span> land se geskiedenis<\/span>,” het Wolpe <\/span>ges\u00ea.<\/span><\/p>\n

“As ons<\/span> nie voortgaan<\/span> met<\/span> gesprekke<\/span> oor die verlede<\/span> nie, gaan ons op ‘n dag<\/span> wakker word en<\/span> ons geskiedenis<\/span> sal nie meer<\/span> daar wees nie.<\/span>” Wolpe het nie uitgebrei oor die eensydigheid van sy eie weergawe van die geskiedenis nie.<\/span><\/p>\n
