PeterL; Point well taken. "To be well qualified" means that you have mastered your subject but nothing more. Yet in humanistic (other than technical subjects) other human qualities also play a role because the training includes the appreciation and cultivation of values. Mugabe, Mengele and Pol Pot were probably quite convinced that they were motivated by the highest human aspirations for the betterment of humanity. It seems that Malikane suffers from the same delusion. These people seem to have not minded to advocate extreme violence to achieve their social goals and labelled their opponents traitors, sell-outs, counter-revolutionaries or the enemies of the people. I wonder who Malikane's peers were who in reviewing his submitted articles did not object to his assertion that he is quite ready to use violence to carry out his ideas.
