Episode 53 - THE MORAL FAILURES OF F W DE KLERK

Author and commentator Sisonke Msimang joined Eusebius on In The
Ring With Eusebius McKaiser to discuss the legacy of apartheid's
last leader, F W de Klerk.

Did he fully and adequately account for apartheid and his role in
it ? Did he deserve a Nobel prize for peace? Is it "too soon" to
criticise him or does he not deserve a quiet period of mourning
before critical legacy debates are framed?  What about the
different ways in which he is interpreted by others? Some black
people will and do respond with grace: why and is that
praiseworthy or misplaced? What about Black rage in response to
De Klerk: does it have a self-justifying place?
