JOHANNESBURG, Nov 14 —The funeral of South Africa’s last white president, Frederik Willem de Klerk, who died on Thursday aged 85, will take place on Nov. 21 in a private ceremony, his foundation said in a statement on Sunday.
The country’s Black population remains angered by his actions during apartheid and for his failure to curb political violence in the run up to South Africa’s first democratic elections in 1994. Many argued against him being granted a state funeral - a privilege his foundation’s statement confirmed he is not set to enjoy.
“It will be a private ceremony for family members and will not be open to media,” it said, providing no further detail.
