Buthelezi quits talks

A Newspaper clipping from a South African newspaper , date 28 September 1992.
The Pretoria Minute followed in August 1990. The ANC suspended its armed actions, and the government considered lifting the state of emergency in Natal, as well as a review of security legislation to ensure free political activity.

Ongoing violence once again scuppered talks. The ANC demanded the removal of Defence Minister Magnus Malan and Law and Order Minister Adriaan Vlok as well as the CCB hit squads and counter insurgency units – or it would suspend constitutional talks. Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi threatened to withdraw the IFP from talks and raised the spectre of civil war.
