STATEMENT ON THE FUNERAL OF MR. A B NZO

Issued by: Office of the Presidency

The family of Mr Alfred Nzo, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of South Africa has expressed the wish that his funeral on Saturday 22-01-2000, be a private occasion rather than a State funeral.

Government is of the view that this wish should be respected. Government shall nevertheless provide the family with the necessary assistance and support to make the burial befit the stature of Mr Nzo and recognise the contribution he made in making our country a better place for all it's citizens

Rev. Frank Chikane 20/01/2000
