FW de Klerk said fall of Berlin wall was key milestone to ending apartheid

In 2003 I was director of Shawco, the charitable arm of the University of Cape Town, and we arranged a tour for a posse of American students. One of the stops on the itinerary was a lecture by FW de Klerk. I was invited, and snuck into the back row as the 30 Americans gathered around the podium .

The evidence for this was the breakaway of the Conservative Party faction, which did not want reform. It was the first time I realised the ANC had little to do with the liberation of SA: the Cold War ending was a far larger factor than sanctions, Umkhonto we Sizwe and so on.

Eskom on track to split generation and transmission by year end, says CEOState power utility Eskom is on track to split its generation and transmission divisions by the end of the year, although some government and regulatory approvals are still pending, its chief executive Andre de Ruyter said on Friday. I hope this move doesn't blow in their face, as it is now clear the intention is to give ipps a clear passage to consumers using eskom's transmission infrastructure. Eskom wants to split and finance minister wants to merge SOEs. What is realy happening here mara? This CEO must go. What track is he still playing? He must F-off! For good! No need for any splits, load shedding end with a flick of switch and snap of fingers. De Ruyter is not there for the interest of South Africans... Uzoganga nje!! He must F-OFF
