A guy who was second in importance only to Nelson Mandela in the destruction of a functioning first world country ON the African continent WITH a large majority of black Africans into the disaster it is today (a "warrior against one of the great evils of his time") doesn't deserve to be disparaged for ruining his country, but rather for his views on foreign policy?
Given the 90% poverty rate and the complete disenfranchisement of the 80%+ of the population, it takes massive balls to call Apartheid South Africa “a functioning, first-world country.”
