The road to democracy in South Africa

This final volume of the first phase of the SADET series is about the tumultuous and nerve wracking 1990s explicitly defined by the horrendous and unabated political violence, the unbanning of the liberation movements, the release of political prisoners, the repatriation of political `exiles’ and the Convention for a Democratic South Africa which led to the first ever democratic elections in South Africa.
