At 79 years old, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, an icon of the Anti-Apartheid movement, has faced accusations of racism for proposing that ‘whites’ should pay a ‘wealth tax’ due to their benefits from apartheid.
This proposal has sparked a strong backlash in a nation that upholds non-racism as a constitutional principle.
Critics argue that this suggestion would revive race classification, which they see as the foundation of apartheid.
