MOURNING EX- PRESIDENT FW DE KLERK- UHURU LEADS KENYA

President Uhuru Kenyatta has sent a message of condolence and comfort to President Cyril Ramaphosa and the people of the Republic of South Africa following the death of the country’s former Head of State Frederik Willem de Klerk.⁣

Mr de Klerk, 85, served as South Africa’s Head of State between 1989 and 1994, and played a key role in the country’s transition to democracy from apartheid, a feat that earned him a Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 alongside former President Nelson Mandela.⁣

De Klerk, who negotiated the end of white minority rule and a peaceful transfer of power to a Black-led government, passed on after a battle with cancer.⁣

South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa said De Klerk played a “key role in ushering in democracy” in the country, expressing his condolences to the former president’s family.⁣
