Eulogy for PW Botha

""He will be remembered as a brutal dictator who enthusiastically presided over a system which denied the majority of people all their most basic human rights. He was responsible for the misery endured by the millions of South Africans he condemned to poverty. He robbed the majority of their chance to live a normal existence and improve their lives.

"He was responsible for the pain inflicted on the thousands who were jailed, assaulted and tortured by his apartheid state thugs. His hands were stained with the blood of hundreds who were murdered during the struggle for democracy and liberation under his presidency.""
