Absolutely. It's hard to find someone who supported apartheid in South Africa. You'd swear every white person in this country was part of the liberation movement.
In about 20 years, every genocide supporter will pretend they were always against it.

You would have turned 40 today. The plan was to surprise you with a visit & spend the day celebrating you. Not being able to call you, hug you or even hear your voice is very painful. I love (and miss) you, Soweto Kid. Happy birthday ❤️
