He gets a ton of deserved credit for the end of Apartheid and working to bring South Africans together in peace but his unwillingness to crush the poo poo out of the corruption in his own party and among his successors is a huge blackmark against him. He was also pretty vocal about comparing Israeli occupation of the West Bank to Apartheid so Sanders saying he admired his foreign policy would give the right a club to beat him with. With Churchill, in order to beat him with that the right would have to admit Churchill wasn't a great guy and they simply won't do that.
