Eh. Honestly, it must have been tough being in his place. He had the entire world opposing him, almost quite literally. But the choice he made certainly had catastrophic consequences....

@DaSlug32 so you want south africa to go down the road of rwanda?

[Anshelm44]

@Rightist2 And you would know because you stay ...where...?

[Rightist2]

@DaSlug32 Dont blame De Klerk. The whites in South Africa were too greedy. Had they granted Right-wing Zulu leader Chief Buthelezi the Richards Bay port for his Kwazulu, he would have accepted Kwazulu independence. Then The whites would have got their own state and history would have been different. The whites greedily wanted the whole country and now its owned by the ANC.

FW de Klerk's betrayal.
