Fundraising mailing for The Africa Fund discusses significant steps taken in South Africa, including the release of Nelson Mandela, as the result of enormous internal and international pressure. Unbanning political organizations and releasing major political leaders from prison provides new opportunities to move towards peaceful change. The mailing says Namibians constantly point out that the first agreement for Namibian independence was signed in 1978, but South Africa delayed its departure another 11 years. The mailing says the Bush Administration is now talking about lifting the very economic sanctions that helped force Nelson Mandela's release. The mailing discusses F.W. de Klerk, P.W. Botha, John Vorster, assassination and vigilante squads, pro-government vigilantes, local union and community organizers, COSATU, the "End Apartheid: Vote for the People" campaign, and New York Mayor David Dinkins.
