The final stage of apartheid<span>'s demise happened so quickly as to have taken many people in South Africa and throughout the world by surprise. The release of </span>Nelson Mandela<span> in February 1990 and the lifting of the ban of the </span>African National Congress<span> (ANC) and other liberation movements led to a protracted series of negotiations out of which emerged a democratic constitution and the first free election in the country's history. Democracy did not emerge spontaneously; it had to be built laboriously, brick by brick. This was a complex process, following years of multifaceted struggle and accompanied in the 1990-1994 period by convulsive violence as vested interests resisted change. Probably unique in the history of colonialism, white settlers voluntarily gave up their monopoly of political power. The final transfer of power was remarkably peaceful; it is often is described as a "miracle" because many thought that South Africa would erupt into violent civil war. </span>
The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in
their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations. While the
king, and all in authority under him, were believed to govern in justice
and mercy, according to the laws and constitution derived to them from
the God of nature and transmitted to them by their ancestors, they
thought themselves bound to pray for the king and queen and all the
royal family, and all in authority under them, as ministers ordained of
God for their good; but when they saw those powers renouncing all the
principles of authority, and bent upon the destruction of all the
securities of their lives, liberties, and properties, they thought it
their duty to pray for the continental congress and all the thirteen
State congresses, &c.
Believe it is the National Congress was that the best senior ever and the first generation
