That’s exactly what they’re saying. Can you point to any mass murder perpetrated by the apartheid government? Apartheid was not a good thing at all, it was racist, and no good. However, that’s where it ended. It was not a genocide or any type of mass murder. It was just brutally separatist. And given the absolute savagery of the ANC in Africa in the 1970s, not entirely unjustified.
Apartheid ended 25 years ago. Since that time more South African white people have been murdered then we lost in the entire Vietnam War over a roughly similar time frame. Ten thousand more.

The Soweto Massacre.
I have a vague recollection of a Soweto uprising (not massacre) and the government reacted to a mob of some 20,000 (?) rioting. I just recall that there was controversy over fatalities, etc. Even then one could not trust the media.
