Your article about Wim de Villiers, as published in the Weekend Argus on 8 March 2025 refers:

It is shameful to boost the image of this man - after he clearly falsified a report on the Wilgenhof saga for which the University of Stellenbosch has made a public apology and the woke agenda he has driven.

I am sorry but this man is dishonest to the core and does not deserve the accolades you are giving him.
