True, but I think by the early 90's there were very few people who truly believed apartheid should be anything other than abolished.

That's slightly revisionist too ;)
It's a bit of an oversimplification, isn't it? I think it was the ANC was regarded by some as a terrorist organisation. You'd also need to view that opinion in the politics of the time - ie the Troubles and the ANCs left wing policies before the end of the Cold War.
It's a bit like saying that Corbyn is an apologist for terrorism.

That's slightly revisionist. Don't forget Thatcher's administration regarded him as a terrorist. The same administration that supported Pinochet. Yet when she died everyone (including some Labour twonks) were banging on about what a great statesman she was.
