In 1930 Edwin Robert Carney and Sybrand (Sybie) Jacobus van der Spuy started talking about an association for Afrikaners. Van der Spuy felt that an Afrikaans association would be sufficient. Edwin Carney showed preference to the idea of an Afrikaans language and culture association because in his opinion such an association would have more bargaining power to the authorities. On Tuesday, August 19, 1930, twelve Afrikaners from different sections of the railway services met in Cape Town and the Afrikaans Language and Cultural Association (ATKV) was founded. Sybie van der Spuy was chosen as the first chairman and HJ Kamerman as the first secretary of the newly founded ATKV.

Controversy The ATKV has been controversial on membership issues in the past, most notably:.

We follow all our business dealings and other operations under the guidance of what the Bible says. Therefore we cannot have members of other faiths join - there would be conflict of beliefs,'.
