Out of curiosity, How much support for Apartheid does the Articulate supporter of Apartheid have to show?

For instance, when Margaret Thatcher died recently, I found out that she considered by some to be a supporter of Apartheid and I remembered that I had just read this David Friedman point recently.

If I am reading the wikipedia link correctly, it contains a fair portrayal of Margaret Thatcher's Apartheid Policies that doesn't summarize well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premiership_of_Margaret_Thatcher#Apartheid

However, if I were to attempt to summarize it anyway, It would be something along the lines of: "I'm not Pro-Apartheid, it's just that I refuse to institute Economic Sanctions on the Apartheid government, reject the Anti-Apartheid movement several times because they include many Violent Terrorists, and don't mind inviting the president of the Apartheid government to meet with me over the objections of Anti-Apartheid as a way of encouraging reform."

In the press, this gets abbreviated to: "Margaret Thatcher ... famously labeled Nelson Mandela a "terrorist" while backing South Africa’s apartheid regime."

So if someone comes up to me and has on their resume "I worked in the Margaret Thatcher administration as a policy writer." And it comes up in the interview that they agree with all of Margaret Thatcher's policy decisions, and I hire them for intellectual diversity because I don't have a supporter of Thatcherism on staff, am I hiring a articulate supporter of South African Apartheid as per the Friedman hypothetical, or not? It seems the press would say yes, and the person themselves would say no.

I'm still having a hard time actually answering the question because I feel like I don't have enough details about the remaining candidates or the makeup of my university, but thinking of a specific type of person does help make the question less vague.
