No he didn't. Tate was released by Romania briefly on promise he would return for his trial. Both Tate brothers returned to Romania as part of due process.

It's not really a shocking claim. His Canadian grandfather chose to move his family to South Africa. They were fleeing and it wasn't straight after the war but it was after the Nats came to power in 1948 and then started implementing the Apartheid state as he liked and admired it.

They just want more white racists that will vote for them. They are not an oppressed group.

Agree, likely as it stopped just after he finished high school. He makes me embarrassed to be Saffa - I went to one of the same high schools as him (not same time), am white and work in DEI so not everyone from SA thinks like him but I'm guessing many assume we do.

Not that I'm defending him as I can't stand him but I believe he left SA in the 80s during the height of Apartheid which only ended in the 90s

Not really. White South Africans are not one homogenous group - they came to South Africa at different times and from different European countries - Dutch, Germans, French Hugenouts, British, Portuguese, Swiss, Greek Cypriots. Some were Nazi sympathisers, most were not.

SA later became independent from Britain and Apartheid was brought in when the National Party won in 1948 elections. Segregation was then brought into law but some of it was enforcing things started by the British
