As the widely beloved Slavoj Zizek once pointed out (in response to a 
questioner who accused him of being Eurocentric), during the struggle 
against apartheid, the ANC resolutely stuck to universalist 
Englightenment values - the kind that are often denounced as 
Eurocentric - while it was Buthelezi, in the pay of the CIA, who 
liked to talk about the superiority of "African" values.
