Did you see that Question Time Dutchie? Your man Pik Botha was part of the government that handed over to Mandela's ANC, but he was slow and hesitant (and a bit pompous) in his discourse and was laughed at by the stroppy audience.
However the audience (like the one that booed Zuma in that stadium) was openly hostile to the ANC apparatchik woman, rightly so. She was pretty unspeakable, and of a type I know all too well.
Those who knew SA in pre-apartheid and apartheid times make the point that even under an effectively or overtly racist regime there are still employers who treat their people well and enjoy good relations with them (American southerners make the same point about the US South). I'm sure that still applies today, but as in Kenya years ago it comes under double attack from 'militant' elements and coarse unscrupulous fellow-landowners and can be destroyed.
