The former South African president FW de Klerk recorded a message to the nation shortly before his death on Thursday, in which he apologised for 'the pain and the hurt and the indignity and the damage' the apartheid regime had caused. De Klerk oversaw the end of white minority rule as the country's last apartheid president and shared the Nobel peace prize with Nelson Mandela, but was a controversial figure in the country. Many blamed him for violence against Black South Africans and anti-apartheid activists during his time in power

Certainly, here's a more detailed summary in English:

South Africa's last white president has issued posthumous apologies for the sufferings caused by apartheid. This statement comes in a complex historical context as South Africa grapples with its past marked by systematic racial discrimination. The president acknowledges the harm caused by apartheid policies that were in place for decades, separating communities and perpetuating blatant injustices.

Apartheid, an institutionalized system of racial segregation, was abolished in the 1990s with the advent of democracy in South Africa. However, the deep scars left by this period still persist today. The posthumous apologies from the last white president emphasize the need for national reconciliation and mutual understanding among different South African communities.

Although coming from a political figure of the past, this gesture is considered by many as an important step towards healing the divisions inherited from apartheid. It also sparks discussions on collective and individual responsibility in building a united and egalitarian South African nation. Ultimately, these posthumous apologies serve as a starting point for profound reflection on the path toward a more inclusive and equitable South African society.

You can choose to forgive or not.
However neither forgiveness nor hatred wil undo what has been done.

The only thing left is to move forward and you can only move forward in unity. This was his message for his fellow South Africans.

You can hate this man for many things but you must recognise that he sincerely did his part to end apartheid and whenever possible expressed his regrets for it happening.
