Die FW de Klerk Stigting betuig sy diepste meegevoel met die familie en geliefdes van die voormalige Minister Pravin Gordhan, wat vanoggend op die ouderdom van 75 oorlede is. Die Stigting erken Pravin Gordhan se onskatbare bydraes tot Suid-Afrika se grondwetlike demokrasie.
The FW de Klerk Foundation deeply mourns the passing of Pravin Gordhan on 13 September 2024. His unwavering commitment to constitutional democracy and courageous stand against corruption profoundly shaped South Africa’s governance and integrity.
In a recent interview with the Vrye Weekblad, Elita De Klerk reflects on the period following the passing of former President FW de Klerk. She delves into the intricacies of navigating the profound grief of losing her husband while grappling with the pain experienced by others.
I am very honoured to be asked to make a few comments at this second memorial lecture of FW de Klerk. I have been asked by Elita to do it, and I was asked by Dave Steward, FW’s close friend and associate, who is the chairman of the FW de Klerk Foundation in South Africa to make these remarks.
After FW de Klerk’s passing, the FW de Klerk Foundation entered a period of deep introspection regarding its future role and orientation. Eventually, the Foundation decided to continue with its existing vision to be a self-sustaining organisation that promotes – and that will, in the long term, continue to promote the South African Constitution; national unity, reconciliation and the accommodation of diversity; and the legacy of President FW de Klerk and the South African constitutional transformation process.
In his recent article on “The Crucifixion of FW de Klerk” News24 journalist Pieter du Toit writes, with very little sympathy, of the growing rejection of the former president’s legacy.
