P. W. Botha
P. W. Botha was a prominent South African politician and leader of the National Party from 1978 to 1989, known for his role in the apartheid government. His tenure was marked by efforts to maintain white minority rule amidst growing domestic unrest and international condemnation. Botha's leadership included the implementation of reform measures that acknowledged the unsustainability of apartheid, particularly during his meetings with Nelson Mandela, although he remained a staunch defender of the apartheid system until its eventual dismantling.
