sies Nelson Mandela foundation. sies ga phooooooooo

SANDF OR SADF?

Uba vele leNja

Hypocrites just like Mandela.. Who gives a damn about Viljoen?

Not surprised by the foundation of another sellout

☝SADF.

Sellouts

The ANC said they were saddened by this apartheid commander, this doesn’t and should never surprise us, they have come to fall in love with their oppressors, Stockholm disease

Is this foundation for the blacks, always is symphatsing with death of Dogs. If this foundation is of White apartheid engineers who should be told as blacks, in order to disassociate ourselves

Of course. He sold all of SA out. Mfm

Moer

Another one dead, hope he will finally account for the blood of my people.

Sellouts

Sellouts, did he apologized to Nelani family

When is De Klerk following

Why

SADF Idiot

SADF OR SANDF

South Africa 🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤔

SADF not Sandf sies mahn! 🤮

Nxiii yazi

The foundation never ceases to disappoint.😢

This is simply guys. Next election we vote EFF iyasiqhela ANC 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

On whose behalf are they speaking?

Let's restart the hatred & judging all over again. Glad to see that some judges moved to rightiousness. Evil might win a battle but never the war. turnSAback2God

Viljoen was baie sleg.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Luzukokoti What is wrong with you guys.

'Former commander of SANDF' REALLY 🤔

Lol!!!!😂

Remind the Nelson Mandela Foundation when it's Hitlers birthday as well, so they won't forget to send his family a birthday card

What is this this people killed Africans in townships during 80s i guess you don't know that history history you know is history of Codesa retrack this email i am singing'Mo tlogeleng a tsamaye a tsamaye '

When we say Mandela was a sellout people go around like headless chickens trying to defend nonsoso of ANC

It would seem a bit strange that NMF extended condolences to Viljoen's family. However, I think Madiba would do the same. I did so too but with a few qualifiers.

Some amongst us who became revolutionaries post 1994 are shell shocked about this reconcilliatory stance.

Good riddance

Our deepest condolences to the family

Sies

This is what foundations are, apologists for political & billionair criminality, manipulation of public sentiment & tax avoidance schemes. Constants Viljoen should have been locked up but instead is honoured. Apartheid bought the ANC & made sure all who would object were killed.

🤮

mxm!

cipherEquality THERE IS NO NEED TO SHOW THE GOOD TERMS MANDELA AND THIS GUY ARE SHARING .THIS GUY WAS FIERCE SOLDIER WHO FOUGHT TO KILL THE STUDENTS IN 1976, I DON'T CARE WHETHER HE LATER REALIZED HIS MISTAKES AND REPENTED HE CANNOT BRING BACK THE STUDENTS HE KILLED AND THE MASSES HE SWEPT AWAY

Ke go phapha fela txe

Jerrrrr I dnt want to remember the cruelty these guys did to black in the state of the emergency in 1985 and 1986 during consumer boycott and defiency campaign. Gen Adrian Vloek, Gen Viljoen and Louis Le Grange. Very very cruel.

He sold us out long ago so I'm not surprised by this statement

Anything, whatever it is that has the letter A,N and C on it, it’s a reject and f should be disposed of.

Inkinga ke le cha this reconciliation ifunwa ngenkani

This is what happens with reading government headlines for a week

🙆🏾‍♂️😬😬😬

SIES!

Truth is, were Mandela still alive, he'd declare 3 days of national mourning, with Flags flying at half mast

Nazo

Bustard nxe

Unathi_Kwaza In the End he Sold us out for a extended Paycheck from the Communists, may he get his fair reward. As to the Morons here that make it a Black nd White Issue many Blacks fought under his Command to keep the Communist looting we have today away.

Some people still think Mandela (who died a millionaire) wanted them to get their land back. The man was fighting against black domination.

Bullshit foundation sponsored by apartheid

Say whaaaaaaa

😂😂

Haikhona 🙉 🙉 🙉

Le re nyatsesa ka batho maahhhnn

This is not news.

Utlwa fela

💃🕺💃 that good feeling 🤸‍♀️

Tsek

You could have just kept silent instead of offending black people in SA, Angola and Namibia. Or maybe you don't care anymore like all the others ...

Hebana. Apartheid founders are your friends now hehe. Freedom fighters bones are shaking from the grave. This is out of order. You clap hands on those who brutal killed black people. Nonsense ye reconciliation mnxm

Sometimes I wonder if the Patron you represent would have approved of your actions. If you think he would have, then .......

No condolences for Baba Credo Mutwa yet one of the leaders of apartheid ... Never mind😒😒 i forget what this organisation stands for..

Our tears are not even dry yet , we continue to be apologetic for sh*t we didn't even commit, we're still LANDLESS on OUR LAND. This is appalling.

Obvious.

Mnxim

When they say Nelson sold out, you cry foul

NelsonMandela foundation should be blacklisted as neocolonial organization, by the people of Africa.

Bullshit

EFF does also?

This NMF is a disgrace to be honest. Sending condolences to a rightwinger? We find ourselves in this racial mess because of NM and his founding,for cosying up with unrepentant racists

Sellout

Yaz Banesbindi🤢🤢🤢

Did I miss their condolence to uBab Credo Mutwa family?

Yah vele this Nelson Mandela foundation have to send such messages coz Mandela was a sell out we are in all of this because of him,here is an example my Nextdoor family lost one of it oldest man kodwa I didnt hear the Mandela foundation sending an message mxm.

Lungah__ imohlola

Comeuppance deserves NO condolences

WTF

I don't take The Nelson Mandela Foundation serious

If NelsonMandela was manipulated and captured while in 'splendid isolation', what is surprising if his foundation conveys condolences to the dead rightwing soldier?

Lunch bar

Oh really 🙄

Heeeeee banna 🙆🏽‍♀️🙆🏽‍♀️🙆🏽‍♀️

This foundation agenda should be questioned

He died with blood in his hands , deserve no condolences .

Tsek

Mabena

Macfarlane123 Please everyone they really needs help to feed the rescue animal's? I !already gave my R100, who is with me on this please?

Why?! Akho need.

Yoh its SADF. Nd why the hell are we sad of his death if it wasn't for this lockdown down I would be poping bottles dancing on the tableb saying 'yahamba inj...'

The people managing the foundation dont care.

Honestly the foundation could have just kept quiet. This is too much

did a born free write this article? It's not SANDF but SADF bloody morons

anyway he wont see heaven

Celebrating a murderer just like they celebrate Declerk, ANC is really dissapointing, i really dont know what they stand for...

At least now the Souls of the People of Cassinga in Namibia may now rest in peace

Of course...

😅

What the fcuk is this NelsonMandela NelsonMandelaFoundation? What kak is this?

_SANDF_ the article should be corrected with immediate effect it's misleading that Viljoen was one of the commanders.

What was so special about him?

Finally God done it again ,keep takng them One by One Amen

SANDF?

This is just disgusting man

NelsonMandela Foundation, you are saddened by death of a mercenary who commandeered the airborne strikes & ground forces which maimed more than 600 lives of Namibians into mass graves...Some measure of decorum, self respect & dignity you still have is worth preservation.. plse!!

Seriously..?

Mandela was a traitor!

I viljoen zange avelane ne family ka chris Hani I’m so confused

Why is the NMF acknowledging an apartheid general?

South Africans we are filled with hate why Mara we even don't love one another as blacks what's the point? Look closely at what happened to the slavery in USA and look at how US nation is leading their rainbow.i think we need cancelling cos amnesty hearing didn't do much.

Nelson Mandela foundation and Cyril Ramaphosa are showing black people a middle finger. This man deserved to be in jail for his crimes but because he prevented violence that already took place and killed black people he gets recognition from our leaders. This is madness.

What a waste of condolences.Blacks were tortured under his command.

ANC yona?

We are really not interested!

Masimbakhe loyo mandela naloyo Constance viljon

Rest in power General

NelsonMandela headed by white racists. What a shame.

Fuck

What is your WhatsApp number?

Why do we continue to praise people who made it their mission to destroy us ? We are awarding these evil people too much Ubuntu. They have never liked us and it wont change because we are leading the kumbaya ochestre

These foundations are now getting out of hand, how can they send condolences to a murderer who had no respect to black lives?

🤐
