Amaminithi ekhabhinethi asanda kuhlukaniswa aqinisekisa ukuthi ngo-Ephreli 1994, uMongameli u-FW de Klerk kanye noNgqongqoshe Wezobulungiswa uKobie Coetsee bazise izikhulu eziphezulu zikahulumeni waseNingizimu Afrika ngezingxoxo eziqhubekayo noNelson Mandela mayelana nokunikeza isinxephezelo ekushushisweni ngamacala ahlobene nezepolitiki, beveza ukuthi i-African National Congress (ANC) yayisekela inqubo njengengxenye yokubuyisana kwesizwe ngesikhathi sokhetho lokuqala lwentando yeningi ezweni.

Izingxoxo Zokuziphindiselela Ngesikhathi Sokuguquka Kwango-1994

Ngokusho kwamarekhodi angafakwanga ohlwini, u-de Klerk noCoetsee batshele iKhabhinethi ngomhlaka-25 Ephreli 1994 ukuthi bakhulume noMandela mayelana "nokunikezwa okwengeziwe kwesinxephezelo sokushushiswa ngamacala ahlobene nezepolitiki." Lokhu kuhlangana kwenzeke ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokhetho olubalulekile lwaseNingizimu Afrika naphakathi kwengcindezi ekhulayo yokuqinisekisa ukushintshela entando yeningi ngokuthula.

“Kubukeka sengathi ubuholi be-ANC, kulesi sigaba, bunethemba ngenqubo yesinxephezelo njengengxenye yokubuyisana kwesizwe,” kusho u-de Klerk, ngokusho kombhalo obikwe yi-Daily Maverick. Lokhu kuhambisana phakathi kwe-National Party ephumayo kanye ne-ANC ezayo kugcizelela ukulinganiswa ngokucophelela kobulungiswa nokuzinza ngesikhathi sokuguqulwa kweNingizimu Afrika.

Ifa Lomlando Lemithetho Yesinxephezelo Nesimo Se-ANC

Inqubo yayingenamibandela. Ngo-Agasti 1993, iKomidi Eliphezulu Likazwelonke le-ANC lanquma ukuthi isinxephezelo kufanele sibe nemibandela ekudalulweni okuphelele kokuxhashazwa kwangaphambilini, lifuna uphenyo oluphelele lokwephulwa komthetho ngesikhathi sobandlululo. Ikomidi lathi, “I-ANC ibilokhu inombono wokuthi uhulumeni we-NP awunalo ilungelo lokuziphatha noma igunya lokuzithethelela ngokwawo noma amanxusa ayo ngamaphutha enziwe esikhathini esidlule.”

INingizimu Afrika inomlando wokusebenzisa izenzo zokuvikela ukuvikela abenzi bombuso ekushushisweni: uMthetho Wokuvikela ka-1961 wawuvikela uhulumeni ngemuva kokubulawa kwabantu eSharpeville, kanti uMthetho Wokuvikela ka-1977 wawumboza izikhulu ngezenzo ngesikhathi sodlame lwango-1976-1977. Kodwa-ke, izingxoxo zokuguqula zango-1994 zafuna indlela ebanzi yokuphendula, igcizelela ukukhuluma iqiniso njengesisekelo soxolelo futhi kamuva yathonya uhlaka lweKhomishini Yeqiniso Nokubuyisana (TRC).

Izingxoxo phakathi kwe-ANC nohulumeni ophumayo zabeka izibonelo ezibalulekile zobulungiswa bangemva kobandlululo, lapho isinxephezelo sixhunyaniswe nokusobala kanye nobulungiswa obubuyiselayo esikhundleni sokuvikelwa okuzenzakalelayo kwabenzi bobubi. Intuthuko eyengeziwe ekuchazeni kanye nemiphumela yalezi zinxephezelo kulindeleke njengoba iNingizimu Afrika iphinda ihlola izindlela zayo zobulungiswa zesikhashana.
