As South Africa marks 30 years of Democracy, SABC News is gearing up to launch a programme dedicated to marking this important milestone. In the build-up to the launch of SABC News' Democracy 30 Project on the 26th of April, Update@Noon zooms in on the Boipatong massacre which is widely regarded as a key moment in South Africa's transition to democracy. The massacre is also frequently cited as an example of the state's complicity in the political violence that shook the country during a period of negotiations and reform.  On the 24th of JUNE 1992, then African National Congress Leader, Nelson Mandela halted ongoing negotiations with the National Party as he believed that the apartheid government had a hand the deadly massacre. The announcement came as a huge shock to the National Party. National Party Cabinet Minister and Chief Negotiator Roelf Meyer narrates the story to the SABC's Anita Visser.
