SPEECH: SOUTH AFRICA’S TRANSITION TO DEMOCRACY
It is a great pleasure for me to address you today on the topic of South Africa’s transition to democracy. This is now my ninth visit to Taiwan and with each visit I have admired the manner in which your country has progressively consolidated and deepened your own democratic system.
STATEMENT BY FORMER PRESIDENT FW DE KLERK ON THE DEATH OF PIK BOTHA
I have learned with great sadness of the death of Pik Botha.
He was one of the leading personalities in South African politics from 1970 until his retirement from active politics in 1996. He served with great distinction as South Africa’s Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1977 until 1994 – and was one of the world’s longest-serving foreign ministers. During this period, he resolutely defended South Africa against growing international isolation.
