is almost the archetype of an african a nationalist mandela use that to get to know the mayans of the africans the minds of the national party and by the time he came out he knew more or less what they were what they were thinking what was possible what wasn't possible in new more or less how to treat them. both at home and abroad calls for mandela's release grew louder and gained more support his party the a.n.c. represented him as the symbol of the anti-apartheid struggle. in early 1989 bhutto was weakened by a stroke shortly after a secret meeting with mandela he was forced to resign as party leader and later as president. i relented in august his former minister frederick de clercq age 53 took over as
5:01 am
president of the country his priority to end the deadlock crippling south africa. on december 13th 1989 mandela left the victor vaster prison for a few hours he was secretly taken to the center of cape town to detain her face the president's office for the 1st time the black leader and white president found themselves face to face. i did not have high expectations of a 1st meeting with mr mandela and when i did have my 1st meeting i did not try to achieve much for both the him and me that 1st meeting was to get an understanding of each other to get a feel for the person sitting across the table. to start with mandela was much
5:02 am
taller than he expected and he was also very impressed by president of mr mandela's aristocratic bearing because we must remember that that mandela was actually raised to be the prime minister of the paramount chief of the 10 booze so he had natural and natural sense of authority very dignified a very charming after that 1st meeting there was the feeling that yes we can do business with each other so i did expect that he would be positive about the concept of negotiations but we both of voided talking about the real challenges and the real issues at that time it was a sizing up for us and so that was the beginning of of a long and sometimes very very rocky relationship.
5:03 am
on february the 2nd 1990 the eyes of $37000000.00 south africans were turned towards cape town for the opening of parliament didn't declare was about to pronounce his 1st general policy speech many were hoping he would commit the country to a new direction. it is time for us to break out of the cycle of violence and to break through to peace and reconciliation the steps that have been decided on the following the prohibition of the african national congress the pan african as congress the south african communist party in a number of subsidiary organizations is being nice and. people serving prison sentences merely because they were members of one of these organizations will be identified and released i think the clark when he took over as president in 1009
5:04 am
was faced with a choice he knew that the country's economy was in really deep trouble he knew we were almost facing a civil war inside the country and here suddenly the thing landed on his lap was he going to do more about it more oppression more police more military and destroy the economy get into a civil war or was he going to be the sturrock a figure that ended the war and i think the berlin wall helped him a lot because it was a strong argument to use to say we had to fight against the a.n.c. because they were communists but no communism is dead so now we can talk to them which made their message easier to accept by the white people however what is very crucial to make the point that this change. the clear speech was not simply the result of
5:05 am
a free condom nationalism of his party and of the clerk suddenly becoming good guys and through the good heart the siding there must be a change it was the pressure from the struggle i wish to put it plainly that the government has taken a firm decision to release mr mandela unconditionally i'm serious i'm serious about doing this matter to finality without delay the speech i made on the 2nd of february 9090 contained a package of measures. of which the release not only of nelson mandela but also of all political prisoners was just a part i listed the state of emergency i tried in that speech to it that is each and every excuse in the sea could offer
5:06 am
not to come to the negotiation table and during that period we were the only communicate to some town and they had all of the t.v. cameras they needed to use. how and when to release the iconic mandela this was the subject of the 2nd confrontation between the 2 men one week later at the president's office. i announced to him that he would be released on the 11th of february. and the 1st reaction was it's too soon and i said why is it too soon he said we need more time to prepare insisted that this process cannot work without me i am the key to this thing so when you want to release me you release me at a time that suits me and my family because i have to manage the a.n.c.
5:07 am
and it was one of the things of you will you are my prisoner you will do as i say and i said to him mr mandela you and i will negotiate about many things but you've been in jail long enough you will be released on the 11th of february let us discuss what time of the day and from where you will be in east. on february 11th 1990 at 5 o'clock in the oftener there was great excitement at the victor fest a prison everyone had been waiting for several hours to see nelson mandela released arm in arm with his wife when. after 27 years in jail a free 71 year old man returned to his home in so wet oh determined to win freedom
5:08 am
for his people. after 4 decades of conflict the adversaries met over 3 days and put ischia an official building in cape time in may 990 the jailer and his former prisoner walked side by side presenting a court image there are bound to be difficulties but there is cautious optimism as well as faith and conviction that problems will be solved by negotiation. and i trust that these discussions will be another milestone on the road to a new and just self that i think it was. overwhelmingly for and. it was like people who came together for the 1st time we didn't know each other but who wanted to meet the challenge. that was a that was
5:09 am
a wonderful experience and was about the fact that. we suddenly realized on both sides that we had to work jointly and collectively. a way forward and that to responsible of the rest of us nobody else could take that as far as. you can imagine. with the background of the participants. 2 sides of been fighting each other. fear were. suddenly being. of course there's a measure of mistrust. we do know al qaida still 3 us. we didn't know. but the point is we had to agree there's only one way to discover. that is to me. striking feature. of the discussions. which will have head. during the last 3
5:10 am
days. has been the at cordiality. we have had. discussions on sensitive matter. in a spirit of conciliation and understanding. despite the signature of a peace agreement 4 months later the relationship between de klerk on monday ella was tainted by violence around the often lethal conflict had broken out in various regions of south africa particularly in causing confrontations erupted to between a.n.c. supporters from the ethnic group and supporters of the i f p the in qatar freedom party made up of zulus and led by monks who to buthelezi. not just say it is the voices there are people who can only lead us the people who cannot ensure that the
5:11 am
beginning of a real discount. oh. more people got killed in south africa between 10091904 than were killed by a potted forces in the entire history of a part that. there was a natural competition between the i of p n a n c u d f but it was aided and abetted by the former military and police people called it the force. the 2 big black groupings fighting and a force egging them on and fomenting more violence leading police teats and intelligence chiefs including military intelligence we're working with elements of the put in lazy party and the soft course was how mundane the came to use that label and to and to accuse the clerk of the statistic shun.
5:12 am
wah . the national party has got that dab agenda for the negotiations process on the one hand aid talk about reform and change. that they still want to hold on to economic and political power he said you see you don't care about the live lives of blacks that tell us you have allowed that situation to develop and this is why these things have happened even of that we have given you our commitment even when we have been doing that had to discipline the people you behaved in this way because you don't care about black life i think the accusation that i didn't do enough was unfair and that was not based in fact
5:13 am
from the moment that i started to have a suspicion and also in conjunction with all the allegations they were making i appointed to judicial commissions of inquiry. the one commission of inquiry came up and opened up a can of worms to show that yes they were elements in the security forces against my orders against the policy i've laid down who continued with politically this and out of underground activities that resulted in the dismissal or early retirement of a big number of very senior officers the credit cards the difficulty he had to walk a tightrope he couldn't just walk into the military camp and say well go give up
5:14 am
your arms and see is taking over he had to take he had to move very carefully with the police and with the military. and he did it slowly and and nelson mandela has indicated that he understood that so there was a game that mandela would put pressure on him. to disband and to end this that for violence and that that would defend. as the 2 leaders exchanged accusations about the causes of the violence talks continues and a conference was soon organized could desa the convention for a democratic south africa to discuss the country's future institutions 300 delegates took part the a.n.c. and their allies demanded a majority electoral system where blacks would be dominant in the government declared his party wanted various measures to protect the white minority but on the

5:16 am
a warning to president mandela that i would be making those statements the mission which i believe did not get to him so nelson mandela sat there and watched . the clerk a took him in this way and i have never before or since seen one below so angry at the result was the end. to the stuff that you're going so i'm going back to the microphone and started to make an attack on those that. i heard the concert. the behavior. mr decay here unless. given to her. and egypt. discredited.

it's december 1991 talks to end decades of apartheid in south africa are faltering president f.w. de klerk has just blamed nelson mandela's a.n.c. for a surge in political violence mandela responds i hate to concern . about the behavior. of mr de cat here have been less friendly. if it has at. all and egypt has. discredited. my team as he. has said and it's.
5:23 am
very few. what i had to hear with saturday. when he responded. to the clock was the closest we came to not having a negotiated solution i also think what he said is what mandela really thought about the clock he never said it publicly because he knew the kind of many years he knew he had to say i accept he's bona fide he's he's a man of integrity otherwise his followers wouldn't do it but he was and he was provoked and he was angry because he didn't he wasn't warned and and that was a scary moment and i think that. told me everything i wanted to know about the relationship between the truckin and mandela it was a terrible one he was not only assured that he was fighting for the right for his people and what he believed in and what should one expect more from any man he
5:24 am
could have been very rude and very brutal if need be and all of this left a mark and left a scar. across it on their person little unsure but also on the process and a need to cause some damage unavoidably so. the negotiations would last for months under the pressure of white extremists declared called a referendum in march 1902 asking almost $3000000.00 white voters if they approved of the path he was taking more than 2 thirds of them voted yes. on june 17th 1992 zulus from the in cutter freedom party left their hostel accommodation and headed for the boy tongue timeship near johannesburg where they attacked a.n.c. supporters 45 people were brutally killed in the massacre the repercussions were
5:25 am
dramatic exasperated mandela was very ill and in his response. and that point in time the administration of hitler was the only body that had the capacity and the power and the command was there was there to do those people and therefore to prevent that from happening even when that was was going to be intelligence with everybody that there are there's a. pileup of stocks of arms there and then there were people that were they members who went to that i can no longer at a. point in your. talk to a government. which is very very go up if it were. not. do what i do well provoked we came right back he
5:26 am
alleged and that's the age of the a.n.c. that this was an example of government forces that were utilized and that point has never been proved but even through from consideration it was that there is so mandela break the negotiation it became frozen. we launched in that period almost immediately a call for roading mass action to revive and get to very high level the activity of the the masses in marchers demonstrations protest. in early august 1992 a campaign of strikes and demonstrations was launched the power struggle culminated on august the 5th with the march on pretoria the country's political capital.
5:27 am
in front of tens of thousands of supporters mandela came to openly defied the clerk beneath the windows of the union building the official seat of government and did not find out are. they in big debt is the nation of unintended and i've. had a free hand finding lashes fat and sage on assemble. the a 380 the navs. on stage you know after tomorrow's all you have sat under the continent. then i less than that. satisfactory. by the government. negara ca's is can't cannot and the way they're not
5:28 am
a 0. am. the a.n.c. maintained the pressure he and dick clarke were no longer speaking but in secret their lieutenants continued the discussions on the future of south africa. another massacre of blights the 2 men to officially renew the negotiations on september the 7th 1992 and a small town in the homeland of cisco by 70000 a.n.c. supporters demonstrated against a local military leader supported by the government security forces opened fire killing 29 people and wounding hundreds of others. out of the big issues issued came a meeting. between our officials and the clerks and the decision
5:29 am
to carry on and resume with the negotiations desperately seeking an agreement to clerk capitulated and ceded to mandela's demands in september 992 the principles behind the future constitution were determined it would be a majority system the white minority would have no veto or particular protection the date for the 1st multi-racial and democratic elections was set april 27th 1940. 8 was therefore 2 electoral rivals who went to also in december 1993 to receive the nobel peace prize in norway the 2 men attempted to put on a good show but de klerk could barely conceal his frustration. i
5:30 am
think the decision of the nobel peace laureate committee was a very courageous decision the award to more mr mandela was a popular one the award to me was a controversial award because people said but i have practiced a part in the past i had no problem with this the mandela receiving me at times it appear as if he and in see did not like very much the fact that it was also ordered to me i know that they went through that felt. nelson should not have shared with him i think that would have been a terrible mistake their contribution through the nobel peace prize was their contribution to say. we congratulate you the people of south africa you fought
5:31 am
amongst each other but in the course of that fight you learn to appreciate each other as human e.-t. . and mandela was irritated by this man from the apartheid regime the people who put him in jail the people who oppressed these own people for so long trying to say i ended up at it praise me the credit felt that he did not get enough credit for ending up after and he wanted to be on the international stage he wanted to be. the big the big historical figure but he was mandela he was the biggest icon in the world so. the 2 perspectives and the 2 egos really clashed and it was also difficult because there was a very strong anti apartheid lobby in norway who didn't want him to get the e.u.
5:32 am
the prize atoll and at one stage she and mandela went out on to a balcony or. of the group the hotel and the main road of learned the norwegians who were supposed to be having a torchlight parade boo de klerk and they shared mandela so it was a bit humiliating for ford truck. back in south africa the presidential election campaign proved to be extremely tense. in carter's zulus threatens not to take part in the vote and violent confrontations
5:33 am
were frequent even in the center of johannesburg. as the world focused on saw a few days before the vote the 2 candidates faced off in a historic televised debate. where have what that plan appeared at that time i was thinking and a better life means how. free according to education hospital services we believe. that there is out of me and my eyes in the eye and she's policy is riddled with that which has failed it is riddled still with clinging to nationalize ation you want good investments as long as that is the case they says that applause. often men or is not used to address the basic needs of the charter told the population or
5:34 am
scotland is committed for a small minority he is not allowed to have for devote so much of his last. or is called sounds like. they just in general how do you write him off if you talk about. that. far. and nation. how i am proud to hold your. thought as to profile. on election day no one doubted that mandela's a.n.c. would he manages the fix of the question was whether the party would gain 2 thirds of the vote. the final score was
5:35 am
indisputable 62 percent for the a.n.c. i'm just 20 percent for the national party. i hold out my hand to mr mandela in friendship and cooperation as far as my own post position is concerned i should like to make it clear. that i believe that my political task is just beginning everything that we have done so far the 4 years of difficult and often frustrating negotiations the problem and the crises. abin simply a blip in asian for the work that lies in. on
5:36 am
may 10th 1994 after 4 years of negotiations and several 1000 people killed in political violence nelson mandela became president of south africa he was 75 years old. i think of the future i think it's a great day for self africa finally there that which we have set out to achieve as befits. the direct thought it was a glorious moment. because it was peaceful it was accepted by the war the leaders of the world with their defeat on that day he saw it as the. cruzan of these projects that started in 1809. according to the terms of an agreement signed in 1903 monday led a government of national unity assisted by 2 vice presidents tab on becky one of
5:37 am
his right hand men and frederick declare. so you have made it big enough to call father serious and i love you. allison. i'm not. sure we got by sorry. to be a very for the better public are full of it. i knew it was a sunday apartheid was overcome the last white president attending the swearing in of south africa's 1st black president. my overwhelming sense was a feeling of accomplishment yes i had questions and i still have it in my mind. whether we will be able to stay on the right path there are threats and there are
5:38 am
always dangers that even if you reach a good agreement that in the implementation of the agreement things can go wrong but my general sense was one of this is a good day for south. all the parties with more than 20 deputies were represented in the government of national unity intended to last 5 years a coalition unique in the world took office a cabinet when a former president officiated under the orders of his successor both at the head of opposing parties. facing them and alan never chaired the cabinet in
5:39 am
becky the other deputy president and i chaired the cabinet on meditational basis. it was a good experience i realized and serialize that they needed to gain experience in governance they've been a liberation movement they've been agitating they've been fighting they've been fighters in the field they didn't know how to deal with the civil service he possibly thought that his presence in the government of national unity. will give him the authority to teach then you'll come ice. how to do things. whereas ever invested that he was also a newcomer into a situation that was new on twitter but there were moments when. i could see mr mandela getting frustrated it. all took patience between mandela and
5:40 am
dick clark hit the headlines. in january $995.00 i heated disputes during a cabinet meeting which forced dick clarke and mandela to stage a public reconciliation for the media. the main focus of our discussion. was our past non working relationship. our discussion was frank. and to a character in some detail. with all of the issues which caused the recent confrontation between us. we did not ask for an apology. we are asked for the recognition of all good faith. honesty and our integrity. in the process of the confrontation also my confidence
5:41 am
in the president was shaken. and our talk this morning achieved also. the race to relation of that confidence. i'm shaking you know you love movement on the t.v. . often about 18 months the a.n.c. started to feel they've had enough of a learning experience. and then they started to try and silence me because i was not only an executive deputy president i was also the political leader of the main political opposition part and they were trying to say i cannot in public criticize the solutions with which i disagreed in the cabinet because i'm an executive deputy president that was part of the problem which 6 months later after 2 years but rolled me to the decision
5:42 am
with my party to withdrawal from the government of national unity i think that the clear and his group where feeling that they were losing too much support from the white constituency and that if they remained in government with the a n c they would continue to lose all that support again i think the correct ego came in the way that and his personal circumstances and we sometimes talk about politicians and forget that they are ordinary human beings the clear cut then fall in love and married a new young woman a beautiful woman that he was very much in love with he lost his appetite for dirty politics for hard politics. and instead of leaving his party inside and
5:43 am
going to tie it with lovely elites he took them all out declared can despite a lefty government in june 1086 shortly after the adoption of the country's new constitution and mandela himself left politics in 1999 handing over to topple him back. in just 6 years of a hard for to do the 2 men had radically changed the course of their country's history and forever bound their own destinies they continued to see each other far from the political turmoil like in 2006 at a hotel in cape town at frederick declared 70th birthday. i mean. once they had retired they knew that they the 2 of them played a special role. in history and they never become friends but on
5:44 am
the one or 2 occasions public occasions they said nice things about italy with their track. and i think if i disagreed in mobile thought all the way. all of us wiretapped alpacas say oh oh. oh oh oh oh you did more to sway what. i heard a person in the us. say that our country does not suffer of knowledge. across all. i've ever done look at the. planet. where the. president mandela made. a wonderful short speech. at a function for all friends and family. i was deeply touched. by the
5:45 am
recognition he gave to my contribution to. help to bring peace to south africa i was deeply touched by the personal walk. which he extended to me. even cried a little bit if i can remember well. hello
