De Klerk held the position of president of South Africa from 1989 until 1994. A pivotal moment in his leadership occurred in 1990 when he made the significant decision to release the leading anti-apartheid activist, Nelson Mandela, who had spent an astounding 27 years in prison. This release coincided with the repeal of all major apartheid laws, including the lifting of the ANC ban. Initially, de Klerk was a proponent of the apartheid state; however, he is now recognized for his crucial role in dismantling South Africa’s racial segregation policies. Together with Nelson Mandela, he guided the nation towards becoming a multi-racial democracy.
