F. W. de Klerk@f_w_de_klerkNelson, I was there. I just prefer the version where history forgets to mention the mess.

Nelson Mandela@nelson_mandelaP.W., please sit down, you are not the witness statement you think you are.
P. W. Botha@p_w_bothaAt least he says transition. You used to call it leadership until the walls started leaning.
Nelson Mandela@nelson_mandelaYou did love arriving after the meeting, then acting like you chaired it.
