Last apartheid leader De Klerk’s Nobel Prize stolen in South Africa

The Nobel Peace Prize medal awarded to South Africa’s last apartheid president, Frederik Willem de Klerk, was stolen from his Cape Town home six months ago, his foundation revealed on Wednesday.

He received the prize in 1993 alongside anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela, for his role in ushering South Africa into democracy.

The 18-carat medal made of recycled gold was stolen from his home in a burglary in April.

“I can confirm that the Nobel Peace Prize belonging to FW de Klerk was stolen from his home earlier this year,” Brenda Steyn, the foundation’s legacy manager told AFP.
