DANIEL PETRUS SIEBERT
"I am currently 51 years in age, I was born
on the 20th of September 1945 in Bloemfontein.  I am the youngest of four children.  I grew up in a conservative and Christian home.  I am a member of the Dutch Reformed Church and had been actively involved in the Dutch Reformed Church since my childhood and have, for the past 26 years, served on the local Church Council.
	I grew up, during my formative years, in the apartheid era.  The apartheid policy would, as a consequence, have been acceptable and justifiable to me since I was of the opinion, at that time, that this policy was necessary for the continued survival of the White and South African at the southern end of Africa.
	This point of view, in subsequent years, was additionally influenced and strengthened by the policy expressions or statements of political leaders as well as cultural and church leaders.  
	As a result of these statements and rhetoric, I was convinced that the White Afrikaans-speaking person would have to fight for the right of survival and for the right to continue to live as our ancestors did, with particular reference to our heritage, background, culture and political way of life."
