JOHANNESBURG - The African National Congress has condemned the statement by the FW de Klerk Foundation "denying that apartheid was a crime against humanity as a blatant whitewash".
"Mr FW De Klerk’s assertion in the interview, 25 years into our democracy, which denies that apartheid was a crime against humanity, flies in the face of our commitments to reconciliation and nation-building," ANC spokesman Pule Mabe said in a statement on Sunday. "The ANC calls on Mr De Klerk and his foundation not to undermine the compact that forms the foundation of our democracy, which is that we deal with the past through institutional mechanisms and the rule of law," he said.
The decision and the motivation by first the Organisation for African Unity and then "the whole world through the United Nations" to declare apartheid a crime against humanity had been well documented. The foundation, instead of "continuing to plead blind ignorance", would do well to research this history.
The ANC would not abandon the project of nation-building. Despite these deeply ill-advised statements by the foundation, the ANC would not be derailed from the project of continuing to rebuild the nation from the ashes of apartheid and its legacies of poverty, unemployment, and inequality, Mabe said.

Why is the MYANC condemning the DE Klerk foundation and NOT DE Klerk himself ? This MYANC is just a scam. They are afraid of DE Klerk 🤔Really
Why is the ANC separating de Klerk and his foundation? They should condemn the murderer himself.
We believe their actions more than their words
I really miss Msholozi uma sekunje😩😩😩
Why are the quiet anc where Aru guys?
There was an opportunity at the SONA, not to please the EFF, but the millions of South Africans whom suffered under that evil system. Even if just to to disagree with that man.
What a shame, What a Shame, What a Disgrace, What a Monumental Disgrace, from an organization that everybody looked up to. How did You Fall so Hard from Grace. Is this the fall of Babylon?
Makagaxelwe oozankosi u FW de Klerk - 'I Sorry' apologies will be meaningless for the rest of his days.
They must condemn but they must arrest and charged the asshole ,why he is enjoying making television interviews instead of languishing in prison ,why is the ANC scared of this RUBBISH ,but abused freedom fighter like Zuma

After they showed him so much love and fought to have him as their special VIP guest ? ANC though , bunch of confusion
Cry the Cradock four (Goniwe).No crime was committed aganist you.
IT was just a system created to separate 2 groups that had not evolved at the same time. The 1 already had a written language for 1000's of years the other did not even have paper, never mind a alphabet. U were still in skins, this is koisan land. U all come from the Congo
Mnxm
They protected him in parliament. What are they condemning 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Dit is nie wat hy gesê het nie,modimo!
Why did they invite him in the first place?

Better late than never MYANC but why are you so quiet on this matter SAHRCommission GovernmentZA ParliamentofRSA?
Deuce bags
Apartheid was a crime against humanity, I wonder why De klerk made such a poor statement in his capacity and age. Most of us we didn't expect such utterance from him. It is unfortunate
Wow, really MYANC ... Only a fool can fail to see who you are
Nomfazi wami elele ucingcono kunabantu.

Idiots
Politics of the stomach, ANC is no longer for the people, bt how cn they use people to enrich themselves. Typical example is white wedding, he is useless in parliament

Hypocrites......................................😡

Bantu Holomisa on ANC: 'It lacks discipline when it comes to addressing issues concerning the country'“When it comes to the implementation phase, some ministers have no clue what they are doing in those departments because they don't specialise in those fields.” You are absolutely correct . It’s the reason for failure to deliver and the reason advisors/ consultants being employed. BantuHolomisa And the UDM cadres do? So true , if I went to a doctor I surely hope they qualified and not some friend who decided I needed a job
