“I don’t want to be reminded of apartheid,” said suspended ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule on Thursday, following the passing of former apartheid state president FW de Klerk
Magashule told City Press later on Thursday that the passing of De Klerk “brought back memories of so many people who died in our country during apartheid and I do not want to be taken back there”.He said some of the remains of the victims of apartheid under the stewardship of De Klerk were yet to be located, even though some of the killers – who are still alive today – have information that could assist the authorities.I do not want to be reminded of what apartheid has done to our people.
“This came about through the process that came with a negotiated settlement of the constitutional democratic order,” said party spokesperson Pule Mabe.
