[As if he would ever have! Never! PW would never have apologised for Apartheid. I can’t imagine that – ever. After my discussions with him I do not doubt this. PW had too much of a mind of his own. PW was a person who thought for himself and he would not have just “gone along” with things. He would not have done something like that just for expediency. They’re dreaming. PW told me about good governance, and some of his comments about current ANC policies, like for example, black housing are quite insightful as to his style of thinking. Put in a nutshell, PW regard the ANC Govt as clowns. That’s putting it nicely. His more exact words were that they are “idiots”. He once said to me, “I used to think we have bad Government but now I think we have NO Government.”

Let me tell you how I see PW from my many discussions with him. PW would have asked them WHAT must he apologise for? What was wrong/evil that he had to apologise for? Remember, just because everyone labels “Apartheid” as evil – well – the question would be: Exactly what was it that was wrong? People forget that the previous Govt worked quite scientifically before they solved problems. PW told me this. They weren’t a bunch of clowns who read Karl Marx and then went out and applied UNPROVEN rubbish THEORY. They actually did STUDIES before they did something. The ANC runs around with unprovable theory which does not work even when they apply it. The former Govt worked on science and history as the basis for its moves. So when they did something they could provide the rationale and logic for their moves. For example, PW told me that early in his career he went to Europe and did a study on housing and came back and reported to Dr Verwoed about it. The former white Govt OFTEN sent people to Europe to study problems there and to report back here and to devise solutions based on what they saw.

Just because the “mass consensus” and PROPAGANDA says Apartheid was evil… one needs them to come and prove their case POINT BY POINT with real facts and not a lot of wild emotion. In what way, for example, is it different when the ANC forcefully removes blacks and relocates them? How different is this to what the Former Govt did? I see no difference EXCEPT, when whites did it, the ANC and whole world pretended it was evil but when the ANC does EXACTLY THE SAME THING… suddenly it is ACCEPTABLE! That, my friends… is FLAGRANT HYPOCRISY. Jan]

PW Botha died before apologising for apartheid’s pain and suffering, but put negotiations in motion for its demise, the African Christian Democratic Party said on Wednesday.

“It is unfortunate that he passed on before he could emulate the example of leaders such as FW de Klerk and Adriaan Vlok who apologised for the pain and suffering that apartheid policies caused to millions of South Africans,” ACDP president Reverend Kenneth Meshoe said in a statement.

“The ACDP will nevertheless remember him for his vision to have a constitutional reform that would include millions of black people who were oppressed in the land of their birth.”

Botha, 90, died on Tuesday night.

Meshoe urged South Africans to contemplate Botha’s role when providing accounts of South Africa’s history to future generations.

“For this reason, the ACDP plays tribute to a leader who not only put in motion the negotiations that would lead to the death of apartheid but who put in place those structures that would allow events in this country to unfold to where it is today.”

He conveyed condolences to Botha’s family, friends, colleagues and loved ones. – Sapa
