Historia
For researchers interested in the period of negotiation and transition between 1990 to 1994 and South Africa's subsequent reintegration into the world economy, we have been promised the papers of 'Pik' Botha, South Africa's longest serving Minister of Foreign Affairs. His papers should also be consulted alongside the papers of Roelf Meyer, Kobie Coetsee and Leon Wessels, three of the NP's key negotiations during the transition period. Scholars interested in the negotiation period should also consult the papers of the Institute for Democracy in South Africa (IDASA). the collection of Dr Koornhof, Emily Hobhouse, the Cradock Four (were a group of four anti- apartheid activists who were abducted and murdered by South African security police in June 1985, named as such all four were from the town of Cradock, Eastern Cape). The Cradock Four members were Mathew Goniwe, Fort Calata, Sparrow Mkhonto and Sicelo Mhlawuli who were rumoured to be on a secret police hit list for their active role in the struggle against apartheid in Cradock.
