It's not a direct symbol of genocide and to compare it to the Russian's wearing Z's shows you are not arguing in good faith. If you want to keep posting drivel comparing the two I'm sure you can find a better audience in r/russia

And they were threatening the securities because they gave them trouble for wearing Zs and showing ruzzian flags.

IOC FIFA both corrupt and out of touch with reality.

Tell that to Ukrainian athletes who instead of competing are just trying to survive. There is no fairness argument here

I don't think they could have just voted them out, either. In 1946 it was a response to the foundation of the ANC but by 1948 the Herenigde Nasionale were in control and very authoritarian. White dissenters were treated very harshly, thus discouraging any future support for the dismantling of Apartheid.
