The seventh State President of South Africa, Frederik Willem de Klerk served as South Africa's last head of state from the era of white-minority rule and dismantled the apartheid system with the help of anti-apartheid revolutionary Nelson Mandela. After serving a collective 27 years in prison, Mandela was released, by de Klerk. Both were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 and their relationship was dramatized in the 1997 made-for-television drama film 'Mandela and de Klerk' starring Sidney Poitier and Michael Caine.
