He wasn't a communist, you dolt! He was the duly elected president of S. Africa from 1994 to 1999.


He was and was not a communist at different times, but the fact that he was elected president says nothing about whether he's a communist. Nor, of course, does whether he's a communist suggest whether the high school should be named after him.

So not the bear from the Jungle Book then?
