“De Klerk decided to dismantle apartheid. If he hadn't, the ANC would still be bogged down in the mess of its so-called liberation camps and infighting. They had no viable armed struggle to speak of,” she said.
DA federal chairperson Helen Zille has again found herself in hot water after her comments about racist laws and former president FW De Klerk.
In a series of tweets this week, Zille said De Klerk was not guilty of state looting and that he “dismantled apartheid”. When accused of being a racist for her views, Zille said “there are more racist laws today than there were under apartheid”.
