REACTION: MANDELA ‘A TERRORIST’?

Nelson Mandela did not go to prison for his politics but because he was a “terrorist” trying to overthrow South Africa's “legitimate” government - that's the view put forward by South African White-supremacist Ernst Roets during a recent appearance on US podcaster and right-wing commentator, Tucker Carlson's show.

Roets, who until recently was the deputy leader of AfriForum, a South African White-supremacist organisation that’s been at the forefront of a global smear campaign against the nation’s leadership, claimed that Mandela and his party, the African National Congress (ANC), were involved in terrorist activities.

Roets' comments are part of a well-orchestrated campaign by local and global White-supremacist forces to portray White South Africans as victims of discrimination by the current ANC-led government.

In this reaction video, we push back on some of their talking points.
