After four and a half years, Mandela and the last 27 accused were acquitted of high treason. The prosecution failed to prove its case against the Congress Alliance. The long trial had consumed organizersโ€™ time and resources and attempted to cast a democratic program as treason. Mandela went underground after the acquittal as the ANC remained banned and the state continued to close legal avenues for opposition.
