[edit] Legacy

The Legacy section makes a number of assertions that aren't supported by the cites provided. Remember, wikipedia requires verifiability. Additionally, most of the cites are webforum comments and editorals, which verge on original research. For example, the assertion that the crime rate is increasing is 'supported' by links to articles on specific crimes in SA, rather than any respectable article on the increase in crime. This needs to be corrected. Ashmoo 22:20, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

the whole section is questionable and POV. de klerks main legacy is having ended apartheid (or: enabled to end it) and established democracy in south africa (remember: before, about two thirds of the country's population were not allowed to participate in elections and generally treated as second- or third class citizens, because they were regarded inferior due to their "race").

some claims in the section are simply false no matter if they are based on sources, for example "the total africanisation of the public sector".

i've deleted the assertions based on the source "amren". the following excerpt is from one of the linked articles: "Further examination of the fresh young faces and healthy bodies shows that at least half if not more of the children are blond. An extraordinarily high number have sparkling blue eyes. In fact, standing next to the English-medium class in the same age group, they seem almost like a caricature of the Aryan ideal"

this and much more one can read in this publication. i guess many users dont know who dan roodt is and what he stands for. anyway, this here is wikipedia. --Severino 11:34, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
