Gauteng DA leader calls on SA to forgive De Klerk because he's shown 'contrition'
19 February 2020
Gauteng DA leader and federal leader candidate John Moodey says calls that former president FW de Klerk be stripped of his Nobel Peace Prize are "a step too far".
Moodey also called on South Africans to forgive the embattled former statesman.
De Klerk faced a renewed wave of criticism recently after he told SABC News that apartheid was not a crime against humanity.
Speaking through his foundation, De Klerk later retracted the statement and apologised "for the confusion, anger and hurt that it has caused".
