What is to be must be

The ANC said

"The five year plan placed before the National Party conference by president elect FW De Klerk, yesterday 29th June, 1989 is a shocking insult to the people of South Africa. The idea that our people should fold their arms and sit back for half a decade while apartheid is given a change of clothes would be laughable, were it not so insufferable.
As we have repeatedly warned, FW De Klerk has nothing better on offer than a refurbished version of apartheid - 'a reformed apartheid'. Consistent with the central dogmas of that system, De Klerk insists on establishing and re-affirming race as the basic plank of the constitution. Political rights will continue to be defined on the basis of race."

But FW at least delivered on the promise albeit he had no choice at all because what is to be must be.
