Extreme bias

[edit]

This article does not comply in any way with Wikipedia standards for balance, encyclopaedic content and NPOV writing. For instance the statement that "the notorious John Vorster Police Station, Johannesburg. A teacher by profession, a freedom fighter by option, he fought for non-racialism and for equality, freedom and justice for all" reads like a CPSA eulogy rather than an encyclopaedia entry. The claim is made that he was "brutally murdered" by police, but there is absolutely no mention of his death. In fact he committed suicide, as was determined by a judicial inquest into his death.Royalcourtier (talk) 06:46, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Got to agree, it reads like a Communist hagiography made for gullible "Progressives". And credible sources are also missing.--41.147.4.191 (talk) 13:39, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That language does indeed read a bit like a eulogy, and probably should be edited. However, on his death, it has now been officially confirmed he was murdered.[1] Robofish (talk) 22:44, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That's what the court "ruled" - a court ruled otherwise in the past. The insinuation is now that he was pushed out of the window, however witnesses maintained the version of Timol jumping: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE54E4PJVwQ --105.8.0.117 (talk) 16:54, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
