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. Following the harrowing massacre, the African National Congress announced its sudden withdrawal from the talks with the white-controlled government. The ANC accused the then government of a systematic campaign to subvert democracy through violence. In this SABC News ' extract, then ANC leader, Nelson Mandela addressed members of the media where he revealed that the party had issued several demands, including an international inquiry into the massacre.
