Re: “the great” Mandela
Writing in the Times, Mr de Klerk argues that the handing over of power to the African National Congress (ANC) in the 1980s would have resulted in fighting and “the imposition of a communist regime” by the party’s left wing..
In all likelihood an ANC victory before the mid-1980s could have been achieved only after a devastating racial war and would not have resulted in a genuine constitutional democracy but in the imposition of a communist regime.”
