Original Note:
"Murdered hundreds of thousands of black people..." is not factually correct. Sources like the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and SAIRR indicate that there were about 7 000 deaths in the period from 1948-1989, and 14 000 deaths between 1990-1994. https://www.hrw.org/reports/1991/southafrica1/5.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apartheid
