So big business was secretly funding the ruling party of the day, obviously for favours. This is hardly a revelation or a defence to what is going on now. Nelson Mandela promised us that this would not happen again under an ANC government. I think he has been proved wrong. And let us not forget that in the FW presidency leading up to February 1990 the political threat to the Nats was not the ANC but the conservative white right-wing. I think it may be a bit disingenuous to throw Christo Wiese under the bus for his support in 1989? But others may think differently looking back with 20/20 hindsight. And anyone who paid taxes in South Africa in the Apartheid years funded the bullets that killed innocent folk merely wanting what they were entitled to in the civilised world.
