“I am a transformed person, especially when you look at our constitution, where you look at equality and humanity. Most of the laws from those days were inhumane. I regret that I was part of the system at that stage. Unfortunately, I was a prosecutor, I had to do my job and be loyal to the law ... but I can also say that in a lot of those public violence cases, at the end of the day, not many of them went to trial. Most of them were withdrawn.
“Since practising as an advocate and having a more objective view of the past, I realise that I’ve got regret,” he said.“I can do that with no hesitation and say I apologise for what we have done in the past,” Strijdom responded. Strijdom is one of 17 candidates being interviewed for 10 available positions in the Gauteng high court.
Strijdom had told the commission that 80% of his career had been around criminal law, with about 20% being on contracts and matrimonial law. He was not experienced in tax law, labour law and the like.
Nothing that came out of apartheid was any good for the masses of the country, they had no vision of growth they were just made for minority interests. Even though they were good developments they were never going to stand the test of time
Stupid argument. Verwoerd didn't put a ban on building schools in Black townships. They were built during his time as Prime Minister. Doctors, lawyers, etc were produced there. It wouldn't be a sound argument, knowing what Verwoerd stood for, to see any positivity in that.
Meaning you went to the townships, took them to your fancy institutions and trained them? It wasn't a normal system of going through school, varsity and paying fees while at it?
Absolutely! That won't be mentioned acknowledged cause it will pain them too much to think that the people they hate so much have contributed to their progress... Misplaced hate is what keeps so many black people trapped in their own minds which keeps them from moving forward!
This is true
Correct!
