Sorry definitely gonna make multiple comments his father I believe owned an emerald mine which employed slavery and he is known to have benifits from that

Agree with everything up to that part so far

Source that it employed slavery? Everything I have read says that he once owned $80,000 worth of shares in a mine in Zambia.

His father owned an emerald mine. Possible it has some abusive labor practices, but unlikely to be outright slavery in 1969.

His father was elected to a city council running for the anti-apartheid party, so if he was a "slave-owner", he was running against his own interests.

They beat slaves to death and there was proof they starved children to death

I literally won’t even read past the possibly abusive labor practices

They starved kids

And beat adults to the point they couldn’t walk

If that isn’t abusive labor practices you need mental help
