The CEO of the FW de Klerk Foundation Dr Dayne Morkel has resigned.
The foundation announced in a statement on Wednesday that Morkel would be leaving his post on March 31. He will be taking up a post as the CEO of US-based Foundation for Peace in Divided Societies.
The organisation stressed that Morkel's departure was unrelated to the controversy over the EFF's demands at the State of the Nation Address for FW de Klerk to be removed from the ceremony last month. Following the EFF's demands, which were based on de Klerk's long-held views that Apartheid was not a crime against humanity, the foundation had issued a statement which continued to support this disputed view.
"Dr Morkel took this decision before the controversy that arose from the treatment of Mr De Klerk by the EFF at the State of the Nation Address and the Foundation’s resulting statement of 14 February.
