Stratcom's Paul Erasmus says he was sent out to destroy Winnie Mandela & the plan succeeded
When Nelson Mandela was released, Erasmus was given a four-year plan to deceive people. A big part of that propaganda was to spread the idea that Winnie Madikizela-Mandela killed Stompie Seipei. He says the populist elements in the ANC had to be neutralised by the apartheid government, such as the likes of Nelson Mandela, Peter Mokaba, Chris Hani and others. Erasmus adds that he was sent out to destroy Madikizela-Mandela and his plan succeeded. #PaulErasmus #Apartheid #Stratcom
