'Margaret Thatcher believed South Africa should be a whites-only state, it has been reported. The former head of the Diplomatic Service, Sir Patrick Wright, has made a number of explosive claims in his account of the former Prime Ministers time in office....Extracts from his diaries have been published in the Mail on Sunday and include claims that Ms Thatcher expressed a desire for a pre-1910 South Africa. In the diary entry, Sir Patrick writes the conversation took place over a lunch he was invited to with Ms Thatcher. She opened the conversation by thrusting a newspaper cutting about Oliver Tambo [ANC president] in front of us, saying that it proved that we should not be talking to him
She continued to express her views about a return to pre-1910 South Africa, with a white mini-state partitioned from their neighbouring black states. When Sir Patrick questioned the desire and said it would be an extension of apartheid, he said "she barked: 'Do you have no concern for our strategic interests?''

Well, with the passage of time the written truth comes out, but all of us knew she was evil ,nay, very very evil woman. The sad part is she have/had a lot of fans in the region among blacks folks.

She and Regan were the twin evils and their policies have shaped some of the injustices we see today.
I will never forget the South Africa's "constructive engagement" policy they so aggressively pushed on the world and without shame or push back from the rest of the world.

A decade from now someone will make similar revelations about Trump.

I am not surprised neither are many
people in the Region , I recall once
in Carnival in SVG , there was a Carnival Mas portraying Margaret
Thatcher as :
" THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST "
It was Margaret Thatcher, Reagans friend and staunchest ally, who launched the privatization wave that was to lead to the shift of over a trillion dollars worth of state-owned enterprises to investors during the 80s and 90s. Reagan was mostly an onlooker and cheerleader.

Reagan is responsible for more black deaths than slavery.
