JOHANNESBURG—Frederik Willem de Klerk, the last leader of South Africa’s white-minority government who formed a prickly relationship with Nelson Mandela, the country’s first Black president, died Thursday in his home in Cape Town. He was 85 years old.
Mr. de Klerk died following a struggle with cancer, the FW de Klerk Foundation said in a statement. In March, the foundation said that the former president had been diagnosed with mesothelioma, a cancer that affects the lining of the lungs.
