Answer:

He opposed apartheid and worked for reform.

Step-by-step explanation:

Frederik Willem de Klerk (Johannesburg, March 18, 1936) is a South African politician, recognized for freeing the activist Nelson Mandela from prison and for contributing, at his side, to ending the apartheid regime, a fact for which both were awarded with the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize and with the Prince of Asturias Award for International Cooperation in 1992. De Klerk was also vice president during Mandela's presidency.
