Also present were Andrew and his daughter Princess Beatrice, and the Earl and countess of Wessex.
Stellenbosch (founded in 1679) is about 50 km east of Cape Town and is the second oldest town in South Africa. It was named (like Simon's Town) after the former Governor Simon van der Stel. The town is situated on the banks of the Eerste River ('First River') and has some fine examples of Cape Dutch architecture.
As mentioned earlier, the Stellenbosch conference specifically reaffirmed the ANC's 50 th national conference passing of a comprehensive resolution on economic transformation, which was subsequently endorsed by the National General Council in Port Elizabeth in 2000.
