One Afrikaner leader, F.W. De Klerk, came to understand – late, but not too late – what the times demanded, and he thoroughly deserved to share the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize with Mandela. But it was Madiba – the tribal name by which South Africans of every caste and color now affectionately call him – who made the crucial difference.
南非白人领袖德克勒克很晚才理解——但还不算太晚——时代的要求，因此他当之无愧地与曼德拉一同成为1993年诺贝尔和平奖得主。但关键改革者却是马迪巴，这是各个种姓和肤色的南非民众对他的亲切称呼。
