Talk:Peter Mokaba

Untitled

I have deleted some of the more egregiously non-NPOV stuff. I don't think the fact (?) that Jay Naidoo once called him demagogue is encyclopaedia-worthy. His alleged AIDS-denialism is perhaps worthy of comment, but the lines on his cause of death were, as written, essentially innuendo and unreferenced, so I deleted them too.

I also changed "confidant of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela" to "friend of ..." because I think "confidant" is a tiny bit weaselly.

The article is still pretty low quality, but I don't know enough about PM to fix it. I was just trying to make it a little less obviously biased.

I agree this article needs a lot of work before it can be seen as a legitimate biography. Peter Mokaba was a controversial figure and therefore caution must be taken not to include misrepresentation or subjective opinion. Therefore I altered the sentence on the chant “kill the boer, kill the farmer” to bring it closer to the original source reference given. For example the source reference did not indicate that it was an actual call for murder that was taken literally by his suporters. I also removed the single line quote from a printed media journalist. Without a proper context a single quote from a relatively unknown journalist holds no real value and can easily lead to misinterpretation. Either one needs to expand on this journalists allegations with proper reference sources or omit it entirely. PierreRudolph (talk) 23:45, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

"apartheid government."

This isn't encyclopedic language. 105.0.4.213 (talk) 10:43, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
