December 5, 2014 will be the first year anniversary of the death of Africa’s leading statesman Nelson Mandela whose death created an honest leadership vacuum that is yet to be filled in our continent. The story of South Africa will not be adequate without the recognition of the starring role by former President F.W. de Klerk who consented to the release of Nelson Mandela unreservedly in 1990, stunning his tenacious political ally and cabinet members. Oddly, he could have faced up to the international community and satisfied the minority government who were apathetic at the vision of a one-man-one-vote system in South Africa. Improbably – still as head of a prosperous country, he could have decided to make South Africa a pariah state and maintained the status quo at the bidding of a few powerful elite with wealth enough to plunge the nation into civil war if the ante was reversed.He did neither of those and went on years later to relinquish power to the ANC and even accepted to become a deputy president under Nelson Mandela.
