Most South Africans don't have the faintest idea what happened at
Codesa, or is happening at subsequent multiparty negotiations.
Plenaries, working groups, subgroups, independent election
commissions, transitional executive councils, government of
national unity... it's incomprehensible to almost everyone who
hasn't been involved, and probably quite a few who have.
"The Long Journey -- South Africa's Quest for a Negotiated
Settlement" seeks to penetrate the fog. Written by a team of
analysts associated with the Johannesburg-based Centre for Policy
Studies, it outlines events that led up to constitutional
negotiations, recounts the history of Codesa and its aftermath,
and, most important, attempts to draw out the implications for our
political future.
This work is remarkable because it is both very comprehensive and
very clear. It examines the workings of Codesa in great depth;
there are detailed accounts of closed proceedings within the four
working groups, based on interviews with prominent participants and
confidential records of proceedings It graphically recounts events
after Codesa's collapse, and the processes which led the parties
back to the negotiating table. In mapping out the most probable
political development paths, its clarifies the options open to the
parties involved in negotiations and likely to govern South Africa
in future. However, all this is presented in refreshingly pity and
easily assimilable prose.
The themes identified by The Long Journey will remain vital to the
country's future into the next decade. It is richly illustrated
with photographs, which in themselves provide a valuable record of
this period.
