The implication, being, of course that that bunch of racist reprobates and kiddy diddler's were not also corrupt?

Ok, then. You have a greater trust in the apartheid government's HR policies than I.
Nonsense...as usual.

Ok, MightyQuin.

No suprise that you, too, are an apartheid apologist.

Yet the ANC policies of BEE, AA, EE, EWC and RET are directly against the 1973 Declaration of Apartheid as a Crime Against Humanity. But I never see you pulling the ANC up for those crimes.

Ah Cosmik. The man who regards absence of evidence as evidence of absence.

Or does that only happen when it works in your favour?

Can't answer the question so you deflect and turn it on the questioner? Perfect straw man, refuting an argument that wasn't presented. Usual style for you.

I fear you do not know what a "straw man' argument is, Cosmik.

Further, I can't "answer the question" because you did not pose one, you made an accusation. And neither am I refuting any argument - not that you put forward an argument to refute - I am simply commenting on your somewhat unique and self-serving style of discussion.

You're calling all judges of the era racists? Racism was a policy, not a personality trait. Provide a single case where that happened. Lets see some evidence for your virtue signalling claims.

Yes this is silly. Pre-1994 judiciary had a large degree of independence and there were whites sentenced to death for the murder of black people.

No judiciary is ever 100% independent of the politics. But this is just the baseline.

We could spin that posters point and ask, when you have been oppressed by a race group before, can you as a judge be independent? So can a black person judge a white person when he may have in the past or his relatives may have been in the past on the receiving end of apartheid? This cuts both ways.


By the way, while I'm not comparing Nazi Germany to NP in any way, the Germans in WW2 also executed people who may have committed murder on their own too and against their enemies. I know of a case of a gentile killing a Jew who was in hiding and the Germans came and shot him on the spot. The gentile was a non German though in occupied conquered land though.

All that was needed to be done under the ANC system was to capture the head of the NPA and he/she can make sure that no politically inconvenient prosecutions happen.
Looking back, the biggest systemic impact the ANC years would have had on the history of the South African State is the wholesale centralisation of various state functions. It is widespread and noticeable in almost all areas.

It comes as a surprise that they had up to this point not been successful in centralising to government, legislature and courts in Nkandla.

Centralisation of power is a requisite for Marxism. It's the reason even municipalities were politicised.

I would be very surprised if they were able to secure a conviction for this incident. After 3 years who knows what's happened to any blood evidence, if any was even taken at the scene of the accident, which it sounds like it wasn't. Any decent lawyer would take the state's case apart.
