PASSING THE BUCK!
In die Citizen van 2 November verskyn hierdie berig waarin de Klerk enersyds die blaam vir die gevolge van die kranksinnige politieke besluite van die NP onder sy leiding, op die ANC plaas en terselfdertyd in die filistyne se koor van: “dis Apartheid se skuld” sing! Kennelik poog hy om die verantwoordelikheid wat hy as destydse staatshoof gehad het en wat hy aan Mandela in ruil vir die Nobelprys gegee het, verskans deur nou al die blaam op die ANC te plaas sodat die aandag van hulle verraad afgewentel kan word.
Sy politieke misvattings sal egter saam met hom graf toe gaan, ongeag sy pogings om dit te vergoeilik, behalwe as hy dit in die openbaar sal erken en dan ‘n bydrae maak om dit ongedaan te maak!
ANC to blame for economy: De Klerk
South Africa's last apartheid president FW de Klerk has blamed the ruling ANC party for the country's spiraling social and economic woes.

In a speech to business leaders late Wednesday, the 76-year-old De Klerk lambasted the wealth-redistribution policies of the ANC.
He said they would cause "social engineering in which people's prospects would once again be determined by race, rather than by individual merit and circumstances."
De Klerk hit out at what he called the Marxism-Leninism of some members of the ANC ruling alliance, which he blamed for widespread unemployment and the failure to attract investment.
South Africa is experiencing one of its worst crisis since apartheid, which De Klerk helped end, earning him a share of the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize with Nelson Mandela.
A wave of violent strikes led by miners demanding huge wage increases has rattled Africa's largest economy and highlighted the country's huge social discrepancies.
De Klerk acknowledged that some of the country's woes were inherited from apartheid, but argued that the party of President Jacob Zuma was failing to deal with them.
"The reality is that it has had to contend with enormous socio-economic backlogs inherited from the past," he said.
"By the same token, it was also unfair to blame all the problems of the present on the past," he said, adding that "the ANC was primarily responsible for the current crisis."
