    Powerful story President De Klerk. I also got to say that there is much clarity now about the history. Thank you for the role you played to change history for the better. We need leaders who will follow what the conscience will instruct because that is where God injects His voice.

    "Produce the citizens that the world needs???????" Who decides what the world needs? How about producing citizens with courage and education who speak the truth? That has been short supply throughout human history.

    The way this man talk is different from how he is portrayed by the media. I was made to believe that he is a tyrant who was made to surrender.
    But after watching some of his interview all I see in him is a righteous man that had good intentions as much as Nelson Mandela did.

    I appreciate his openness and his contribution but I feel he is downplaying the cruelty and hatred of the apartheid system. The system was not just about separate development as he puts it, it was segregation and white-first, white-ahead, white-better, etc

    Lol, I was born in South Africa. I now live in America and I'm an American citizen now. I grow up during the apartheid years. I was born in 1960. I went to an Afrikaans school. And I learned English in my high school in South Africa. I always felt that apartheid was wrong. I have had some challenges with my fellow coworkers in my hometown .when I was working at Woolworths, when I was 22years old. We worked at Sunneypark shopping center. And my coworkers name was Tabia and she came to tell me were mast i go when i want to use the bathroom because she just tilled me that they put a sign up that said whites only bathrooms. I didn't live very far from Woolworths .so I tilled Tabea she can use my house if she wants to go. Of course I am from South-south Africa but when I get with my friends here in America. Sure I get to ask about apartheid. I'm very proud to be American. A lot of young people in South Africa feel portrayed by the rainbow nation since they were born into this rainbow nation. And they don't know anything about apartheid. They re fell like they are discriminated against . I have family still live in south Africa and my brother and sisters have teenagers and still in school there. But I just hope they're can found each other and and overcome there there differences. My brothers San is in the 11th great. He's in a private-public school.

    Mandela was a great man but all he had to do was go with the general consensus of his people. De Klerk was a greater man because he had to swim against the current. He had to turn around 180° and chart a brand-new path of uncertainty for his Afrikaner people.

      Traitor - in my book. Where are his “checks and balances” today?
      Same as in Piet Retiefs life - dead and buried. Where does any communist respect the rule of law? You are delusional DeKlerk.
      If any fool has read the ANC Charter - they would know - there is nothing to negotiate. It is full democracy - in order to gain power - thereafter who cares about checks and balances - it now turns into a one party state, sharing of power does not exist. First past the post - winner takes all.
      Mandela’s treason speech - white and black domination etc etc . What was the first law Mandela introduced - BEE. Racist laws. But that was OK?
      What does the Afrikaner have today - his whole existence is in the balance. Mandela is long gone - and communistic thugs are ruling the country - with little regard for De Klerk’s checks and balances. What nation would ever hand their existence and survival over to the communists? Only an idiot - with no mandate to do so. De Klerk is this idiot. Ask Israel to hand over their destiny to the Palestinians. You want to be shot for treason?Why then the Afrikaner?
