I think it’s obvious that SA is following zims path……

down the toilet for all but the gravy train……..

Saying that Winnie is innocent of Stompie's murder is like saying Al Capone was innocent of any murders because his hitmen carried them out. There were obviously many good black people in South Africa, and I knew several of them, but in my opinion Winnie doesn't count amongst them. If I remember correctly, the concept of Nuremberg-style trials came up in South Africa at that time, but it was decided that reconciliation was more important to South Africa's future than revenge. I would not be surprised if Nelson Mandela himself pushed that point because his presidency focused a lot on reconciliation. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do get the feeling that things would have been somewhat different if you had a say.

Winnie Mandela didn't do the murder, her "Football Club" security guards were rumored to have done it. Most of the murders committed by Blacks during this time were reactionary and instigated by the white apartheid police. Necklacing was not even a practice until apartheid introduced those torture methods. If anything what I see in South Africa is the hate that hate created. I think people should be grateful that they weren't doing mass executions for the atrocities that were committed during apartheid or subjecting people to Nuremberg style trials. People who complain about South Africa should cool down because personally I think they got it easy. Post Nazi Germany had repercussions but they also received millions in foreign aid after the war, but at the same time all those who participated in Nazi crimes were punished severely. I have yet to see that with perpetrators of apartheid .

There were lots of people with blood on their hands in South Africa. ET was one them, but so is Winnie Mandela (ever hear of Stompie Sepei and that method of execution called "necklacing"?). The ANC also ran "punishment camps" in Angola and Zambia, and by all accounts these places were not holiday resorts. ET was part of the problem, so was Winnie, and from the looks of it, so is Julius Malema positioning himself today.

Many countries in Africa are experiencing a brain drain. Unless you're trying to help the situation, what are you doing? You're either part of the solution or part of the problem. Eugene TerreBlanche was part of the problem. I don't send any condolescences. If anything justice has been served due to the blood that was on his hands.

By the way, there's a new South African in town, he's a chiropractor on Seventh street.

No, I was not referring to all South Africans, but I do get rather annoyed by South Africans in America who constantly complain about South Africa. The country is still in transition. I find it somewhat more progressive than the US with the fact that it had already passed humane policies that America is still debating over such as eradication of the Death Penalty, Homosexuals included in discrimination prohibition policies, an Elite Swat Police Force that makes America's Navy Seals look like amateurs, a Wildlife protection including endangered species, and as painful and angry as this makes me apartheid killers being allowed to walk free after testifying for the Truth and Reconciliation Committee. Now all those are to be commended. Now whether those policies have been fully enforced is a different matter, but I just get really annoyed when South Africans come to my country and want to moan and complain about what's happening in their own country due to violence and crime and focusing on the farm murders while leaving out those who still live in townships lacking basic necessities and are subject to brutal conditions everyday.

I don't feel sorry for any of you South African Nazis especially those who reside in the US. ETB's death pales in comparison to the murders he committed during apartheid and that he helped orchestrate afterwards including the bombings, beatings and the brutal murder of Mayor Mashe of Ventersdoorp. Just remember in the United States your citizenship and permanent residency can be stripped, and we have no tolerance for hate groups such as yourself.

RealityCheck, just to be sure, you're not including all South Africans living in the US or this website in "South African Nazi's" and "hate groups such as yourself", are you? If so, that would be far from the truth. If I look at all the press stories and TV footage related to ET's death, it often appears like the AWB and ET represented a large percentage of the white South African community. That would certainly be very far from the truth. I doubt that more than 5% of white South Africans supported the AWB in its heyday in the late 80s. They were very much the same as some of the radical right-wing groups you find right here in the US.

Not sure what "hung – drawn and quartered by fellow south africans living in america" means. Is it aimed at me and my "politically correct American article" for daring to suggest that ET's murder was not necessarily politically inspired? If you disagree with the article, argue your case and present facts.
