Abstract:The process of reconstituting the South African State on a democratic basis achieved a definitive step with the general elections of April 1994. Despite numerous irregularities and organizational problems, the elections were relatively peaceful and their result was decisive. The ANC's landslide victory was a culmination of its long struggle for democracy and gave it a conclusive mandate to govern. For the future, however, a daunting agenda remains to be confronted. This article discusses the negotiations and violence that preceded the elections in South Africa, the role of the Multi-Party Negotiating Forum, the threat to the elections posed by right-wing opposition groups, the election procedure, and the outcome of the elections.
