Frederik Willem de Klerk
Frederik de Klerk made a big impact in South Africa. He was the last president during the Apartheid history. He didn't think it was right and he wanted to make that change after seeing how it was affecting the Africans. A very famous quote of his is: "Peace does not fare well where poverty and deprivation reign. It does not flourish where there is ignorance and a lack of education and information. Repression, injustice and exploitation are inimical with peace. Peace is gravely threatened by inter-group fear and envy and by the unleashing of unrealistic expectations. Racial, class and religious intolerance and prejudice are its mortal enemies."The new era which is dawning… will lift us out of the silent grief of our past and into a future in which there will be opportunity and space for joy and beauty - for real and lasting peace." He made big history. He is still living today.

Pieter Willem Botha
Pieter Botha was huge in South Africa, but not in a good way. He agreed with the laws of Apartheid and thought it should never end. He studied politics and made it his mission to never let Africans and Afrikaners have the same status. He sent military forces onto them and imprisoned anyone against it. He stood as President Prime Minister and head of almost everything you could imagine before he resigned. He was under pressure to change and make a difference but its not what he wanted,
