CAPE TOWN - President Frederik de Klerk's son Willem married Hermien Mostert, an Afrikaner, yesterday, a year after breaking up with a mixed-race woman. Willem de Klerk's two-year relationship with Erica Adams had caused a storm among conservative whites, and reportedly ended due to pressure from his mother, Marike. Mr de Klerk and Ms Mostert married in a 300-year-old Dutch Reformed church and held a reception at the president's residence, Groote Schuur. AFP
