Biography 📅 12 February 1991 📍 South Africa

Negotiators for the ANC and government signed the DF Malan Accord at the airport in Cape Town. The agreement clarified commitments around peaceful protest, political prisoners and the ANC’s suspension of armed actions, while the government recognised the ANC’s right to organise and promised to curb unauthorised security force activity. The accord was a negotiated step, not proof that political violence or repression had ended.
