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?
