Soviet propaganda says de Klerk

It would appear FW de Klerk has no friends left on either side of the isle.

The FW de Klerk Foundation has labelled the notion that apartheid is a crime against humanity "soviet agitprop" – propaganda meant to agitate.

This is in response to what it called the EFF's "vitriolic attacks" on De Klerk during the State of the Nation spectacle during general assembly.

"He is an unrepentant apologist of apartheid who is not willing to accept that apartheid was [a] crime against humanity," Malema said.

"First we have to look at the origins of the charge: In November 1966 the UN General Assembly declared apartheid to be a crime against humanity - and in 1973 it adopted the Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid.

"Both the Resolution and the Convention were political initiatives of the Soviet Union - which had itself committed atrocious crimes against humanity that involved the killing of millions of people.

"The idea that apartheid was 'a crime against humanity' was, and remains, an 'agitprop' project initiated by the Soviets and their ANC/SACP allies to stigmatise white South Africans by associating them with genuine crimes against humanity" read the statement.

According to the foundation, some 23 000 people died in South Africa's political violence between 1960 and 1994 - of who fewer than 5 000 were killed by the security forces. 

While the ANC/EFF cannot seem to get over Apartheid the ULA has a vision where all minorities can move forward and prosper. Give your mandate at www.ulacongress.com for a future of cooperation and mutual respect.
