Abstract:

"South Africa's second democratic election of 2 June 1999 was, for all its calmness, as momentous as the dramatic election of 1994 which installed Nelson Mandela and the ANC as the leaders of the first multiracial government in South Africa's history. Election '99 South Africa tells the story of the crucial 1999 general election through the eyes of leading South African and international experts. It summarises the first five years of democratic government, the parties' election campaigns, the final election results, and the future prospects for South Africa."--BOOK JACKET.
