Goodness of my heart. I think he was actually pushed to do that. There were sanctions from around the world. There were protests taking place. I mean, we were on the verge of a civil war. I mean, what are you thinking? Being what 13% or less at the time of white people against over 80% of the black population in this country? And you think you're just what going to govern them and treat them as subhuman? Many of them were fighting. He didn't.
Have a choice. So, this idea that, oh, let's celebrate him, he handed over power. No, no, there was no way that apart date was going to continue beyond that point. He knew it, and that was him conceding to it. And I'm telling you: if the options were different, if there was no international pressure, if there were no sanctions that were being applied, if there was no violence on the ground, I don't know if he would have still made the same decision he made to say, let's hand over power. And what did we do?
Praise, praise, praise, because that's what we're great at in this country. We don't care too much about accountability. We just want to forgive and praise, right? Well, look at why it's gotten us today. It's 9:31. More of your calls and what's ups up to the latest in eyewitness news headlines. Thanks, Clements. Good morning. President Cyril Ramaphosa is considering an investigative report into a military exercise which failed to heed his instructions regarding Iran's participation on South Africa.
