Frederik Willem de Klerk, Reformation and Reconciliation in South Africa

The most powerful and unsetting idea in de Klerk’s speech about the Noble Peace Prize is the struggle that de Klerk and Mr. Mandela will go through to help bring peace and stability to South Africa. In this speech de Klerk is accepting the Noble Peace Prize award with Nelson Mandela. He talks about how him and Mandela will fight in the election campaign against one another. He talks about his goals to change South Africa. “It will not be about apartheid or armed struggle. It will be about future peace and stability, about progress and prosperity, about nation building.” This shows how strong of a person that de Klerk is and how he will stop at nothing until his nation of South Africa is changed for the better.
