I am surprised by what I see as binary thinking and prime whataboutery. Surely you should say "war" and not the Nazis led to these tweet facts; so war is a good thing? The Chinese are credited with inventing gunpowder - should they not be reviled? Think just a moment. Mbeki who consigned a few hundred thousand people to death and is an elder statesman. Mugabe ditto.  I reckon communism, that killed millions more than colonialism is still a revered ideology and prominent in the SA government. Shaka certainly was most unpleasant to his neighbours (sic) but has an airport named after him.

So let's see through the offence taking, political expediency and opportunism and focus on facts and relative seriousness. To me its its just a somewhat clumsy political power play within the DA.
