Published as a supplement to FOCUS No. 87 by IDAF Publications Ltd., a publishing company of the International Defence and Aid Fund for Southern Africa. The supplement was distributed internationally to inform about political repression and negotiations in South Africa and Namibia.

Transferred to UK-PWP as part of the IDAF Publications series.

This supplement to FOCUS No. 87 provides an analysis of the steps taken and obstacles remaining in the process of negotiating an end to apartheid in South Africa as of early 1990. It details the partial reforms initiated by the apartheid regime, including the unbanning of political organisations, the release of some political prisoners, and the lifting of certain emergency regulations. The supplement critically examines the limitations of these reforms, the continued existence of repressive legislation, the ongoing state of emergency, and the regime's retention of significant powers of repression. It also covers the responses of the African National Congress (ANC) and the international community, and outlines the requirements of the Harare Declaration for genuine negotiations.

Retained as part of the permanent collection due to its historical significance in documenting the transition period in South Africa.

No further accruals expected for this specific issue.
