unbanning

Explanation
On 2 February 1990, President F W de Klerk announced the unbanning of liberation movements and other organisations, the release of political prisoners, the lifting of restrictions on 33 organisations and a moratorium on judicial executions. Nelson Mandela was released from prison on 11 February 1990. Political conflict and violence broke out on both these dates in several areas across the country, but particularly in KwaZulu/Natal between UDF (and ANC) supporters and Inkatha.
