After his “blacks were not disenfranchised” statement on CNN last week, former president F.W. de Klerk has been taking a lot of flack.
Not only did he get ripped a new one by cartoonist Zapiro in the Sunday Times yesterday, but the National Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) said this morning that his comments on Apartheid “are a slap-in-the-face to those who died fighting for democracy.” They have also called for him to be stripped of his Nobel Peace Prize.
Nehawu’s Sizwe Pamla said the ex-statesman did not deserve his Nobel Peace Prize credentials:
We feel that it takes away everything that the Nobel Peace Prize actually represents.
