1990AFRICA
On 7 June 1990, former South African President, F W de Klerk, announced the end of South Africa’s four year old state of emergency. Immediately after that, he imposed new state of emergency in Kwazulu. Natal. The announcement was made following political uncertainty for de Klerk and his ruling National Party. The release of Nelson Mandela from prison and the unbanning of the African National Congress and the promise to end apartheid created fear among Whites. The White House (in America) praised de Klerk’s decision as a good move towards creating a climate conducive to negotiations that will lead to democratic, non-racial South Africa. Nelson Mandela was in Paris on the second leg of an international.
