Rage in S. Africa Over Former President’s Claim that Apartheid ‘Not a Crime Against Humanity’By Anita Powell February 17, 2020 JOHANNESBURG - South Africa’s final apartheid president, F.W. de Klerk, has found himself in the crosshairs of the powerful African National Congress -- and many others -- since he said he didn’t believe the racist system was a crime against humanity.While his comments - made earlier this month - have provoked outrage, African scholars have noted a sense of continental amnesia about the past, and say this misplaced nostalgia is not an exclusively South African phenomenon.De Klerk was instrumental in ending apartheid, releasing Nelson Mandela from prison and ushering in democracy in 1994. De Klerk shared the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize with Mandela for their role in ending the apartheid regime that treated the nation’s non-white majority as second-class citizens.More at: https://www.voanews.com/africa/rage-s-africa-over-former-presidents-claim-apartheid-not-crime-against-humanity
