“I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way.

But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.”

On that day, after months of negotiations at the World Trade Centre, the multiparty forum voted to set a date for the country’s first national, nonracial, one-person-one-vote election: 27 April 1994. For the first time in South African history, the black majority would go to the polls to elect their own leaders.”
