South Africa’s Africa Policy (1994-2002)

The end of apartheid in South Africa will allow the black majority to reach the top of the state in 1994. Long reviled by almost all African states, South Africa will be relegated to the bench of pariah states and will maintain appalling relations with its neighbors, as well as with other African nations. Once at the head of the country, the new black administration will try to detach itself from this negative image. The means and men for the implementation of this new vision will be multiple. What were the actions taken by Pretoria between 1994 and 2002 on the economic, political, military and humanitarian levels? What was the hidden purpose of this reversal of Pretoria’s African policy? So many aspects that will be developed through this book.
