STATEMENT: FW DE KLERK HOSPITALISED
FW de Klerk was hospitalised yesterday at the Panorama Hospital with a condition known as pneumothorax – which is an abnormal collection of air in the pleural space between the lung and the chest wall. He underwent a successful procedure this morning and it is expected that he will be discharged from hospital some time next week.
STATEMENT ON PRESENTATION BY FW DE KLERK FOUNDATION TO CONSTITUTIONAL REVIEW COMMITTEE ON POSSIBLE AMENDMENT TO SECTION 25 OF CONSTITUTION TO ALLOW EXPROPRIATION WITHOUT COMPENSATION
The FW de Klerk Foundation will today, Friday 26 October 2018, appear before the Constitutional Review Committee to make a presentation on its earlier submission on the possible amendment to section 25 of the Constitution. The Foundation regards this question as being of central importance to the future of South Africa – not only for successful land reform, but also for the future of property rights, the future of the economy, and the future of race relations in South Africa.
Together with numerous respected jurists, including the late Arthur Chaskalson CJ, as well as the High Level Panel appointed by Parliament and led by former President Kgalema Motlanthe, the Foundation believes that it is not necessary to change section 25 of the Constitution to achieve land reform and extend property rights to all South Africans.

President Cyril Ramaphosa’s tenure might well be remembered for his penchant for the appointment of commissions of inquiry and task teams or, as some analysts have referred to it, rule by commissions.
