Ramaphosa to deliver eulogy at #DeKlerk memorial service─── 10:00 Sun, 12 Dec 2021
President Cyril Ramaphosa will on Sunday deliver the eulogy at the state memorial service for the late former president of apartheid South Africa, FW de Klerk, the Presidency has confirmed.
De Klerk, who served as deputy president under former president Nelson Mandela from 1994 to 1996 in the government of national unity, died last month at the age of 85 after a battle against cancer. He was laid to rest at a private ceremony.
A state memorial service in honour of De Klerk’s role in South Africa’s transition to democracy in the 1990s will be held on Sunday at the Groote Kerk in the Cape Town city centre.
