Born: December 13, 1915, Jamestown Died: September 10, 1983, Cape Town. South African politician and lawyer. Prime Minister (1966-78) and President (1978-79). Born Balthazar Johannes Vorster. Descendant of Dutch immigrants. Graduated from Stellenbosch University and became a lawyer. Elected to the House of Representatives in 1953. Became Minister of Justice in 1961, and succeeded Prime Minister Hendrik F. Verwoerd, who was assassinated in September 1966, as Prime Minister, and was also elected leader of the National Party. As a right-winger within the party, he advocated a hardline apartheid policy, but in May 1970, he visited Malawi, a black nation, for the first time and signed an economic cooperation agreement, becoming more flexible. From 1974, he implemented an active racial detente policy abroad, and at home, he implemented a partial relaxation of the apartheid policy, making desperate efforts to ensure the survival of the white minority government. In September 1978, he handed over the prime ministerial position to PW Botha and became president. In June 1979, the Muldergate scheme, an attempt to circumvent international opinion by buying up foreign media, was uncovered, and he resigned as president in the same year. Forster |
