De Klerk elected South Africa president unanimously
Frederik W. de Klerk was unanimously chosen by a parliamentary electoral college to lead South Africa for five years. He pledged a five year racial reform program and said the state president must represent all people, not just parliament. A massive Cape Town march supported peaceful protest as police held back and Archbishop Desmond Tutu joined demonstrators calling for freedom.
