  1. Good quiz. I got 8/11. Can you explain in what sense de Klerk was not the final apartheid-era president? Also: Madiba spent 18 years on Robben Island, which means he spent 17 years there :p

      • Yes – I did wonder about that. De Klerk was the President who freed Mandela and then worked with him to ensure the transfer to majority rule. However, he certainly started off his Presidency as an “Apartheid” President.
