most influential ministers was frederick vellum declare an ambitious afrikaner who entered politics in 1971 f. w. as everyone called him came from an influential conservative family. one must remember that his father had been a very senior national party politician it being president of the senate his uncle had been prime minister so he was deeply. involved in the whole growth and development of the national party mr de klerk was perceived to be on the conservative side that he was predicting what group rights as it was call but i think to his credit one was always that he was never in favor of a security solution for the country never in 71 i still embraced the concept of separateness which i believed
9:10 am
idealistic could bring justice in the early eighty's. i came to the conclusion and not only me many of my colleagues around me that the concept of separateness is just institutionalizing in justice that it was our own and that we had to abandon the concept of a part they separate us. in the early eighty's nelson mandela returned to the mainland after 2 decades of brutal detention he was transferred to post more prison then in 1988 to more comfortable housing within the victim 1st the prison about 100 kilometers from cape town. for mandela was no ordinary prisoner convinced that negotiation could bring an end to apartheid he had begun secret meetings with government representatives notably we could see how the
9:11 am
justice minister and neal barnard the head of the secret services. and so p.w. identified a team of which i was the head at the time they start in total secrecy negotiations with one below which in fact started in my $988.00 until easily they met some got 50 times or $48.00 times every week for hours on end and nobody not is almost the archetype of an african a nationalist mandela use that to get to know the minds 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 he knew more or less how to treat that. both at home and abroad calls for mandela's release grew louder and gained more support for his party the
9:12 am
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 president of the country his priority to end the deadlock crippling south africa. on december 13th 1989 mandela left the victor vast the 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.
9:13 am
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. do get a fee to for the person sitting across the table to start with mandela was much taller than the expected and he was also a very impressed by president of best demand others are aristocratic bearing it goes we must remember that that mandela was actually raised to be the prime minister of the paramount chief of the 10 booze so you had natural of natural sense of authority very dignified a very charming after that 1st meeting they was the feeding that yes
9:14 am
we can do business with each other so i did the expect that the would be positive about the colon sick of negotiators but we both of void did talking about their real challenges and their real issues at that time it was a sizing up proces and serve that was the beginning of of a along and sometimes very very rocky relationship unfriendly the 2nd 1990 the eyes of 30 $7000000.00 south africans were turned towards keep ton for the opening of parliament politik declare quiz about to pronounce his 1st a general policy speech many were hoping he would commit the country to a new direction it is time for us to break out of

9:16 am
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 now communism is dead sanaa 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 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
9:17 am
i'm serious about being this matter to finality without dealing 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 address each and every excuse in the sea could offer not to come to the negotiation table and during that period we were the only communicators in 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
9:18 am
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. and it was one of the things of me 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 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.
9:19 am
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 a hole determined to win freedom 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.
9:20 am
and i trust that these discussions will be another milestone on the road to a new and you just saw that i think it was. overwhelmingly framed. it was like people who came to gather for the 1st time we didn't know each other but who wanted to meet each other. that was a that was a wonderful experience and was about the fact that. we suddenly realized on both sides that we had to work out jointly and collectively. a way forward and a duck to responsibility rests on us nobody else can take that response and you can imagine. with the background of the participants. 2 sides that has been fighting each other. for the hammer. suddenly being.
9:21 am
of course there's a measure of mistrust. we do know al qaida still 3 us when. we didn't know. but the point is we had to agree there's only one way to discover. that is to me. is striking feature. of the discussions. which will head. if you're in the last 3 days. has been that cordiality. we have had. discussions on sensitive not. in a spirit of conciliation and understanding. despite the signature of a peace agreement 4 months later the relationship between dick clarke and mandela was
9:22 am
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 hoser 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. is not just say it is the voices they are the. truth the leaders the people those who can only assure that the beginning of a real wall is going. oh. more people got killed in south africa between 10091904 than were killed by a part of forces in the entire history of a part that there was a natural competition between the eye of p. and the a.n.c. u.t.s. but it was aided and abetted by the former military and police people called it the
9:23 am
3rd force. the 2 big black groupings fighting and a 3rd 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 to lazy party and the soft course was how mundane the came to use that label and to and and to accuse the clerk of the statistics. 100 thank you and. the national party has got that double edge and for the negotiations process on the one hand. a talk about reform and change. that. they still want to hold on to
9:24 am
economic and political power he said you see you don't care about the life lives of blacks that tell us you are now that situation to develop and this is why these things have happened even after we had given you our commitment even when we have been doing better had to discipline our people and 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 from the moment that i started to have a suspicion and also in conjunction with all the allegations they were making i appointed judith 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
9:25 am
my orders against the policy i've laid down who continued with politically this iraq tough 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. give up your arms the sea 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

9:27 am
to be sure solution if your leaders years closer and the leadership. role certainly. with the schedule made and the force of the coffee and yes to the concept of not action. i spoke last and i made a strong attack on the a.n.c. what went on oh yes i sent a warning to president mandela that i would be making those statements the mission which i believe did not get doing so nelson mandela sat there and watched the clerk attack him in this way. and i have never before or since seen mandela so angry at the result was then that mandela did the stuff that you're

9:34 am
he knew he had to say i accept he's bonafide he's he's a man of integrity otherwise he's followers wouldn't do it but day 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 truck and and mandela it was a terrible one he was not only assured that he was fighting for that i had for his people and what they believed in and what should one expect more from any man he 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 personal little unsure but also on the process and a need to course some damage unavoidably so. the negotiations would last for months

9:36 am
therefore to prevent that from happening even when that was was going to be intelligence would have reported that there there's a. pileup of stocks of arms there and then there were people that were they members who went through that i can no longer at a. point in your. talk at work of no return. which is regarding our people. we are not here. to wagga we are provoked. we can fight back here lived a dead stage on behove the again see that this was an example of government forces that were utilized and that point has never been proved but even through the consideration commission it was that that saw mandela break off the negotiation it
9:37 am
became frozen. we launched in that period almost immediately a call for roading mass action to revive and get to a 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. was. in front of tens of thousands of supporters mandela came to openly defied declare beneath the windows of the union building was the official seat of government and in our final.

9:40 am
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 1994. it was therefore 2 electoral rivals who went to also in december $993.00 to receive the nobel peace prize in norway. the 2 men attempted to put on a good show but dick clark could barely conceal his frustration. i think the decision of the nobel peace laureate committee was a very courageous decision the award to more must among dello was a popular one the award to me was a controversial award because people said but i have practiced
9:41 am
a part day in the past i had no problem with this the mondello receiving me at times it appeared as if he and the a.n.c. did not like very much the fact that it was also wanted to me i know that there were 2 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 for it amongst each other but in the course of that fight you learned to appreciate each other as human he. did. and mandela was irritated by this man from the apartheid regime the people who put
9:42 am
him in jail the people who oppressed these own people for so long trying to say i ended up after it praise me the clerk 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 hit was also difficult because there was a very strong and he apartheid lobby in norway didn't want him to get the you the prize atoll and at one stage mandela went out on to a balcony or. of the group the hotel and the main road of ours alone and the norwegians who were supposed to be having a torchlight parade boo de klerk and they shared mandela so it was
9:43 am
a bit humiliating for ford truck. back in south africa the presidential election campaign proved to be extremely tense. encounters a loose threatens not to take part in the vote and violent confrontations were frequent even in the center of johannesburg. as the world focused on solving a few days before the vote the 2 candidates faced off in a historic televised debate. where have what that plan appeared
9:44 am
at that time life or south africa and a better life means housing starts free conduct education hospital services. way believe that this is out of me and neither the i 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 then or is not used to address the best signal is all the charter told the population or as government is committed to it for a small minority he is not alarmed at that or 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
9:45 am
think about. that. far. and nation beauty how i am proud to hold your. thought as to who are following. on election day no one doubted that mandela's a.n.c. would imagine is the victim the question was whether the party would gain 2 thirds of the vote. the final score was 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
9:46 am
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 ration of all the work that lies in that. on 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
9:47 am
think well for the future i think it's a good idea for self africa finally there that meets we have set out to achieve as befits. the truck 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 conclusion of these project 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 his right hand men and frederick declare. so you have made it big enough to call father and i love you. allison. i'm not. sure we got by sorry. very for the better
9:48 am
public are full of it. so. i knew it was a snow day 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 have 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 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
9:49 am
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 and they key 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
9:50 am
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 the odds favor 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 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.
9:51 am
was our past not working relationship. our discussion was frank. and with garrett in some detail. with all the issues which caused the recent confrontation between us. we did not ask for an apology we are asked for the recognition of al good faith. honesty and integrity. in the process of the confrontation also my confidence 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.
9:52 am
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 citizens 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 brought me to the decision with my party who was there all 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
9:53 am
