PARLIAMENT - President Cyril Ramaphosa on Thursday told parliament that in his view it was treasonous to deny that apartheid was a crime against humanity, thereby publicly repudiating former president FW de Klerk.

Ramaphosa opened his reply to the debate on his State of the Nation Address by saying it was clear that apartheid was a crime against humanity even before the United Nations declared it such in 1973. "They knew as they looked at this country that this was a country where a grave crime was being committed against the majority of the people against South Africa," the president said.

State Capture is a crime against humanity

No you are wrong - talking shit with no leadership in parliament is threason against all South Africans. Jy is nie n president se gat werd nie

Was? Apartheid is actually still a crime in terms of Art 7(1)(j) of the Rome Statute of the ICC. One element of this crime is conduct committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group.
