“I can confirm that the Nobel Peace Prize belonging to FW de Klerk was stolen from his home earlier this year,” Brenda Steyn, the foundation’s legacy manager told <\/span>AFP<\/span><\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Died at 85<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The former president died in November last year aged 85 after being diagnosed with cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mandela and De Klerk were jointly awarded the prestigious laurel in Oslo “for their work for the peaceful termination of the apartheid regime, and for laying the foundations for a new democratic South Africa”.<\/span><\/p>\n

De Klerk led South Africa’s transition from white-minority rule to the first multi-racial elections in 1994 after freeing Mandela from prison in 1990.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mandela then became South Africa’s first black president after his African National Congress party won the first democratic election.<\/span><\/p>\n
