Former foreign affairs minister Pik Botha dies

[Ninja'd]

I didn't know he was still alive.

Truth be told I confused him with PW.

Don't mind me. I'm just waiting patiently for the reaction when the EFF and BLF article arrives.

Don't go on Twitter. The ignorati are out in full force, as usual.

RIP ou toppie Pik.
Your strong Afrikaans accent always sent me cringing listening to you...but men of your ilk are always few and far between in dark times.

He was a government minister what makes you think he won't be given a state funeral?

Ja, they all looked the same to me back then too.
My trouble with Pik is that he looked like my deputy head who I got the hiding of my life from lol.

 

[Hemi300c]

Used to do protection services for him and Piet when they visited a airbase and facilities when I did my camps. A true legend and a nice guy.

 

[Chris_the_Brit]

Oh, I see he converted to the ANC in the early 2000s. Meh.

They don't get official funerals unless el presidente says so maybe.

 

[MirageF1]

Meh.

What's that meant to infer?
