Although an Amin with competence would be even more terrifying in a way, lol ;)
Mandela doesn't like Amin mostly cause he sees him as a brute and the African version of an Apartheid hardliner, not a willing partner. But the point of the section is to more allude to future developments

What makes Amin more dangerous ITTL is the fact that he can put food on the table of Ugandans. Suharto got away with a lot of shit for years because he raised the standard of living of the average Indonesian.

A police officer in Kampala ITTL will feel more justified in torturing the occasional communist, because he wants the regime that gave him and his children something to live for to survive, Indian tailors be damned.
