“Let us not reverse the gains we have made since apartheid.”

Last night at the opening of SONA, FW de Klerk, former President and Nobel Peace Laureate, and his wife Elita had to endure wave after wave of vitriolic attacks by Julius Malema and EFF members of Parliament, clad in their trademark red boiler suits. They claimed that his hands were dripping “with blood”, including the blood of those who had been slaughtered at Boipatong. Worst of all, FW de Klerk had denied — in a TV interview the previous week — that apartheid was “a crime against humanity.

The 109 states that subsequently joined the Convention included none of the core democracies. According to the United States delegate: By contrast, some 23,000 people died in South Africa’s political violence between 1960 and 1994 — of whom fewer than 5,000 were killed by the security forces. Most of the rest of the deaths occurred in the conflict between the IFP and the ANC. In Kenya, the British interned more than 320,000 people during the Mau-Mau uprising and hanged more than a thousand Mau-Mau members. In Algeria, the French killed more than 140,000 people in a war that claimed some 700,000 lives.
