He fought for freedom for South Africa, against the Imperialist forces that wrecked his country.

You've done your bit. RIP. :(

RIP! Actually an inspirational character.

But South Africa has been f@#ked ever since the end of Apartheid!

Fought against separation and domination by a racist minority against the human and democratic rights of the majority of his country's citizens.

Never compromised in his struggle for one-man one-vote.

RIP!

that wrecked his country.

RIP nonetheless, he was by a big margin a better leader than the rest.

He’ll always be remembered as the man who sped up the premature transition of the RSA to native administration thus ensuring its early regression.

Hmm…reminds me of another place. :?

Nelson Mandela was a great man.

Unfortunately, the rest were a bunch ...(I won't say it), that totally screwed the country right up for both Black and White.

Basically, the transition away from Apartheid was very premature. 50,000 murders per year is saying something.

Another example of how the US and UK should butt out of other countries internal affairs. Basically, the PC brigade screwed RSA. :(

Yes, finally you have come to realise we should have stuck out for what we started ... full enosis with Greece, instead of allowing the Turkish and the British the rights to intervene in our affairs becasue we were an isolated little island that belonged to no real nation but one defined by the Brits.
