Thread 1: De Klerk is an un-rehabilitated & unrepentant apartheid apologist. Apartheid was about subjugation of African Humanity. It evolved from colonization whose existence caused a genocide against the Khoi & the San of the Cape. De Klerk’s people, the Dutch led this genocide!
Thread 2: A crime against humanity refers to acts that violate human rights. Apartheid qualifies as part of these acts according to Article 7 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. It is in the same regime of violations such as Slavery, Extermination, Torture
Thread 3: Apartheid was systematic racial oppression, where a regime defined people according to the color of their skin, marking them out as subservients without basic human rights: freedom of speech, movement, right to life, to vote. It oprressed the “humanity” of black people
Thread 4: If you agree that blacks are Human, it means you agree that they have inalienable rights to EQUALITY. Meaning, they are EQUAL TO WHITES/HUMANS. To deny them this EQUALITY as part of a system of government is to OFFEND THEIR HUMANITY. Thus, a Crime Against HUMANITY!
Thread 5: We must ask a crucial question, if De Klerk believes & insists that Apartheid is not a crime against humanity, then what exactly was he forgiven for by TRC?
He must be tried in the International Criminal Court for the Crime of Apartheid. OR he must be tried here in SA!
He must be tried in the International Criminal Court for the Crime of Apartheid. OR he must be tried here in SA!
