Party leader John Steenhuisen said in a statement “His decision, within a year of taking over the presidency… to unban liberation movements, release Nelson Mandela from prison, lift the ban on political marches and begin the four-year negotiation process towards our first democratic election was a watershed moment in our country’s history.” Following the news of FW de Klerk’s death, many users took to twitter and slammed. One user said, “I think what’s unfortunate about FW De Klerk’s passing is that he not only never stood trial for his actions & the actions he authorized, but he also demonstrated several times over that he hadn’t learned anything in the time that has passed since he served the apartheid regime.” Another said, “If you suddenly feel a heatwave in South Africa, that’s because the gates of hell have been opened to welcome FW de Klerk, as their newest resident.” While another said FW de Klerk was a proud Afrikaaner nationalist who believed that ending Apartheid was a pragmatic means to an end for protecting the interests of his people in South Africa. This was his position in the National Party when they went into negotiations. That is the history.”
