Mandela's grandson labels British politician Lammy an ‘apologist’ for genocide
THE grandson of anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela slammed British Labour shadow foreign secretary David Lammy on Friday, labelling him an apologist for genocide.
This came after Mr Lammy told a meeting of Republicans in Washington DC that the late South African president would not have agreed with the Gaza protests at campuses across the US.
In a statement, Zwelivelile Mandela noted that Friday marked 30 years since the inauguration of Nelson Mandela as the first post-apartheid president of South Africa.
