See also Knot of Stone, pp.418-422.

For a succinct and concise overview of De Klerk’s contested career, including his posthumous farewell, read/listen to Ray Hartley’s article in BusinessDay (11.11.2021). https://www.businesslive.co.za/bd/national/2021-11-11-ray-hartley-de-klerk-was-a-leader-at-war-with-his-history
