F. W. de Klerk is implicated

Ex-Police Commissioner General Johan van der Merwe and ex-Law and Order Minister Adriaan Vlok, implicated former state President and Deputy President of the Government of National Unity, F.W. de Klerk, of knowing and condoning a 'dirty tricks' campaign that was waged against the African National Congress (ANC) between 1990 and the 1994 election in a bid to destabilise the organisation. Van der Merwe further alleged that the entire National party (NP) leadership knew about this operation and at times instructed the police to carry out these brutalities against its opponents in an effort to undermine them.
