Turkey stood in consistent opposition to the white minority governments in South Africa. It did not maintain any type of relations until negotiations began between the African National Congress and the government towards democratic elections. Turkey also promoted the independence of Namibia, which was under the occupation of South Africa from World War I until October 1990.


I personally dislike Mandela. He was a war criminal, terrorist and racist.

Nah, most would respond something like 'Don't know him. Don't care about him.'

That's their right. I bet they'd know more about him than any of the leaders from your country, though.
