🇿🇦🎉 March 18: Remembering Frederik Willem de Klerk (1936–2021) Today we honor Frederik Willem de Klerk, the last president of apartheid-era South Africa and a key figure in the country’s transition to democracy. During his presidency (1989–1994), he played a pivotal role in dismantling apartheid and in 1990 ordered the release of Nelson Mandela. 🏆 In 1993, de Klerk and Mandela jointly received the Nobel Peace Prize for their role in building a democratic South Africa. 🗣Quote: ● “The new South Africa is here. There is no going back.” 🔍Fun fact: ● De Klerk was an avid golfer and a fan of rock music! ⛳️🎸 #People#History#Diplomacy
