Biography
South African politician, the ninth and possibly last white man to head South Africa since it was formed in 1910. Not one to take initiative, he has always stayed well on the safe middle ground of the tightly structured organization that is the ruling National Party. Nonetheless, he had to make a start with some bold decisions by the necessity of the office.
De Klerk came from a political family, the son of an educator who held national posts. He himself went into law. Married to Marike, he has three kids. On 8/14/1989, he succeeded Botha in office as President of South Africa.
He shared the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize with Nelson Mandela, saying that he has a clear conscience, knowing nothing about civil rights abuses or murders in the '80s.
He and his wife were divorced when she was killed in late 2001; a security guard at her apartment building strangled and stabbed her, Blaauwberg, South Africa.
