7. The transition from white rule to democracy. Due to the constant pressure and attention from within and outside the country on the repressive tactics of the authoritarian regime and shifting demographics P.W. Botha started to implement minor reforms. As more and more countries refused to deal with South Africa it became more isolated. Investors abandoned the country and the price became too much to bear. F. W. De Klerk released Nelson Mandela from twenty-seven years of imprisonment in February 1990. He also rescinded the ban on the ANC, the PAC, the SACP, and other previously illegal organizations.
8. The transition from white rule to democracy. The white government tried to negotiate favourable terms for whites within the new democratic system but the actions of white extremists made this more difficult. Convention for a Democratic South Africa (Codesa) led the negotiations. Whites were fearful of socialism and wealth redistribution similar to policies in Zimbabwe. By 1994 Nelson Mandela is elected and by 1996 the country has a new constitution.
