What is well known, and needs repeating, is that former President Thabo Mbeki was, alongside Matthias Rath, a chief architect for what is estimated as the death of 365,000 people and brought untold misery for countless others in South Africa.
We’ve had politicians, leaders of countries, put though international justice systems for their crimes. Why shouldn’t Mbeki and all those who promoted this tragedy be similarly treated to answer for their crimes against humanity? Despite the complications of South African politics, accountability and justice is required.
