De Klerk ’s foundation came to his defence and also said the notion that apartheid was a crime against humanity was itself a “Soviet agitprop” – a propaganda to agitate. This angered a lot of black people, from ordinary citizens to political parties and Struggle icons’ foundations such as the Desmond and Leah Tutu and Nelson Mandela, who called for the FW de Klerk Foundation to apologise and withdraw its remarks.
De Klerk this week withdrew a statement by his foundation which he said had caused “confusion, anger and hurt” for which he was apologising. The EFF rejected the apology is only for the statement issued after Sona and not the views held by De Klerk. Ramaphosa said that it was inherently a crime against humanity even before it was declared so by the United Nations in 1973.
“The United Nations, the family of nations of the entire world is made up of people from all over the world and they could never have been hoodwinked, they could never have been deceived or influenced by anyone, they knew as they looked at this country that this was a country where a great crime was being committed against the majority of the people of South Africa,” Ramaphosa said.
kgmadisa the more reason why Mr De Klerk, his foundation and afri-forum should be charged, prosecuted and sent to jail.
kgmadisa Apartheid was evil reverse apartheid is evil.racism is evil people that hate are also evil. So ya change of attitude will help and look at positives even if others are negative. As*holes are born everyday don't mind them. Be positive how can we uplift the have nots.
kgmadisa If thats so, why is the State not charging Deklek and the person who issued the statement on behalf of DeKlek Foundation of treason?
