EFF to open inquest into murders under De Klerk's apartheid era via SABCNewsOnline

The party says that recent comments made by De Klerk and his foundation show that the apartheid-era leader still seeks to justify the crimes committed against black people.

In a statement the De Klerk Foundation claims that the United Nation’s classification of apartheid as a crime against humanity formed part of an agenda by the Soviet Union and the African National Congress along with its allies to stigmatize white South Africans. The statement also sought to justify and reason as to why apartheid was not a crime against humanity.

This follows similar remarks made by De Klerk during a television interview. EFF spokesperson Delisile Ngwenya says government must also take action against those who seek to deny the severity and injustice of apartheid. “The EFF will explore all legal options to reopen a forensic inquest against De Klerk on all people who were killed by the state under his presidency with the aim of prosecuting him for the apartheid murders. It is evident now that De Klerk will only appreciate that apartheid was a crime against humanity if he faces prosecution. The parliament should enact laws that criminalise apartheid denialism.

Someone once said 'we are running this country, we determine the agenda, others copy from us.' Something as important as the state of the nation address is supposed to be dominating the news after Thursday instead everybody is talking about FW De Klerk, Nobel prize,

Finally my vote reaping rewards! Gatsha should also be investigated

Get over this nonsense and look forward to a brighter future, which the ANC and EFF could not offer South Africans yet. It’s because you always look backwards. The past will bring you nowhere, on a better future. In 27 years you offered no good future. Just destruction.
