Well Sampie has no idea what he is talking about sitting in his lofty ivory towers at Stellenbosch peddling this sort of intellectual crap for years now and making a nice living out of it I must add.
See below from Dec 2002 and open letter to him from Aziz Pahad when he started with this.

Open Letter
'To an old friend, Professor Sampie Terreblanche'
Dear Sampie,
Given how busy everybody is, we have not met for a long time. This is not a good thing, given our very fruitful and important exchanges in the years leading to the democratic transition. I am not certain that what happened then has either been properly evaluated, or communicated to our people at large.
etc ....
But, of course, it may be that the fact of our democracy has convinced you that this change in our country determines that you should seek to bring about the realisation of your objective of the defence of the poor by launching a media struggle against those you consider to be the enemies of the poor.
It may also be that the objective to fight and defeat the process of transformation at all costs has, for whatever reason, become your principal objective. If this is the case, then your actions would, at least, be understandable.
This would be sad and puzzling, given what you did to break with your past and place yourself among the architects of the new South Africa that would belong to all who live in it, black and white.
As it always does, time will tell where the truth lies.
With regard to those who define themselves as progressive and continue to oppose the transformation agenda of the government, I pose the vitally important question - whose interests do they serve!
Yours sincerely,
Aziz Pahad
