 Main time, residents of Johannesburg have differing reactions to the news that St. Africa's last wise president, Frederick de Klerk, Schiele-Draras, said that while he could acknowledge the Klerk's contribution to the dismantling the apartheid regime, he had once let his prior actions were sinful. Meanwhile, another resident who did not wish to be named said the Klerk's name should be remembered for the work he did to eventually end apartheid. Dr. de Klerk heard that St. Africa's white minority government until 1994, when Nelson Mandela's African National Congress Party swept to par. He shared the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize with Mandela, but his role in the transition to democracy remains highly contested more than 20 years after the end of apartheid. He was smashed in the side of black people and means that as a human being you can't agree with that, but at the same time you have to look at the actions that he did take that changed the country. Well, I thought he tried to do a lot of good and he succeeded in helping to bring down a apartheid, which was a good thing and I think that's how he should be remembered. And he was all, but I think he also played a huge role in freedom in democracy. Honestly, I feel no remorse. I don't know, a politician died. I feel like he's dead, he absolutely has to move forward in a way, away from all the criticism, negativity, the racism. So I feel like he moved us in a way. I wish his family some healing and hopefully, you know, at some point wherever he is, he can find some peace because I mean, with a name like that coming up, we still think about what happened around the time where apartheid was heavy on South Africans and majority majorly on Black South Africans. So those memories, they don't fade away so easily. NEWS OPDATES
