Former president De Klerk living in a state of denial: Holomisa

UDM leader, Bantu Holomisa says it’s not the first time former president FW de Klerk has denied the atrocities of Apartheid. He was responding to the ANC’s calls to not invite him to Parliament again.

“Well, I am not surprised given that De Klerk has been denying everything which his government was doing. I was part of the negotiations when the black on black violence was taking place, being perpetrated by his forces…when he was confronted even then, he said he didn’t know anything.

The party was reacting to his comments that Apartheid was not a crime against humanity. The former president and his foundation have denied that apartheid was a crime against humanity despite a declaration by the United Nations in 1973.
