Abstract

In the heady days of 1994, everything seemed possible in the so-called ‘new South Africa’. Installed as president in that year, Nelson Mandela achieved the seemingly impossible — he began the process of uniting a country recently bitterly divided, and enjoyed something as close to universal respect, even reverence, as any politician is likely to experience. This theme of unity marked much of the early 1990s, with Mandela playing a central role in promoting reconciliation, particularly between black and white. It was a theme taken up by those who gathered in 1992 to plan a way forward on the AIDS front.
