F.W. de Klerk
Former South African President, F.W. de Klerk, has blasted a report in The UK Guardian that Israel offered to sell his country nuclear weapons in 1975 as “simply ludicrous.”
De Klerk, whois best known as the president who engineered the end of Apartheid in South Africa, says he was “never been informed of any such developments,” reports the Jerusalem Post.
“I have no reason to question the information that was consistently conveyed to me by the relevant authorities that South Africa developed nuclear weapons on its own,” de Klerk said.
De Klerk was a a member of the South African parliament in 1975, the year documents published by The UK Guardian show Israel offered to sell South Africa nukes.
De Klerk was Minister of Posts and Telecommunications and Social Welfare and Pensions in 1978, and later ran Mines, Energy and Environmental Planning from 1979–80, and Mineral and Energy Affairs from 1980–82.
His dismissal of the UK Guardian article follows a refusal by the office of Israeli President Simon Perez, whose signature appears on at least one of the documents published by the British newspaper.
