The West wrongly branded Mandela a terrorist
So, history has to be rewritten on their behalf. Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Regan branded Mandela and the ANC a terrorist organisation.
David Cameron went on pro-apartheid lobby junkets. The CIA gave South African security the tip-off that led to Mandela’s arrest and imprisonment for 27 years. Regan described the apartheid regime as “essential to the free world”. Even Labour leader Harold Wilson’s government was selling arms in the 1960s to the apartheid regime.
