Constitution to end apartheid in South Africa

Mandela
The Associated Press
KEMPTON PARK, South
Africa — After a frantic day of
bargaining, the government and
African National Congress put the
final touches Wednesday on a
constitution that ends apartheid
by giving blacks equal rights for
the first time.
Final agreement by the 21 par
ties at the talks came late Wednes
day to applause from the weary
delegates. A signing ceremony in
which party leaders will endorse
the constitutional package began
soon afterward.
A smiling Nelson Mandela, the
ANC leader, shook the hand of
President F.W. de Klerk as he
walked to his seat for the ceremony.
"The day of liberation has been
uppermost in our minds," Man
dela, the longtime political prison
er likely to become South Africa's
first black president, said earlier
on state-run television.
"We are not there yet, but the
cornerstone of our efforts to
achieve national liberation ... has
been laid down."
Led by de Klerk's National Par
ty and Mandela's ANC, the nego
tiators' task was to find a peaceful
way to transfer power from an af
fluent but nervous white minority
to the oppressed and impover
ished black majority.
Mandela and de Klerk got the
Nobel Peace Prize last month for
leading the negotiations process.
Both have said the real prize
would be getting through the
coming years without bloodshed.
The historical accord depended
on a last-minute deal in which the
government abandoned its long
standing insistence that the next
government take decisions based
on a fixed percentage of votes in a
multiparty Cabinet.
It settled for a vaguely worded
promise from the ANC, the ex
pected winner of the first multira
cial election on April 27, to rule
"in a consensus-seeking spirit."
The ANC agreed to a strong fed
eral system in which nine provinces
can adopt their own constitutions. It
also agreed that South Africa's final
constitution would require at least
60 percent support from voters or
the parliament.
Observers said the ANC and
government both made conces
sions to complete the protracted
negotiations and satisfy demands
by an alliance of pro-apartheid
whites and conservative black
groups boycotting the talks.
The boycotting groups, known
as the Freedom Alliance, want
greater autonomy in a post
apartheid South Africa.
"For South Africa, this is a dis
aster," said Corlea Kruger, chief
negotiator for the conservative
white Afrikaner Volksunie. "They
have railroaded this deal
through."
Government spokesman Dave
Steward called the agreement an
important step to get the boycottets
involved in the transition process
from apartheid to democracy.
"The spirit that guided thebi
lateral negotiations was that of
give and take," said ANC Secre
tary-General Cyril Ramaphosa,
"All this has been done with the
aim of ensuring that we reacha
settlement."
Faculty
Continued from Page t
Watson said companies like GE
Corporation, Conoco and Texaco
have all included multicultural-
ism in their training.
After an audience member
questioned whether requiring stu
dents to take these classes was
fair, Mazzullo and Watson ex
plained that all classes that are
deemed important to a student's
degree are required.
"If we made classes an option,
we wouldn't produce a single
electrical engineer," Watson said.
"It would be wonderful if it was
an option, but for the marketplace
my students are in, this is not an
option."
Mazzullo said faculty members
have experienced more and real
ize the importance of multicultur
al education.
"An 18-year old may not know
or understand why they need
these classes," he said. "But we
know they need them."
Mazzullo said he hopes the
Faculty Senate will one day re
verse their decision because the
classes are are not necessary.
"I hope to be on the Faculty
Senate on the day the University
repeals the multicultural require
ment because it is present in all
classes," Mazzullo said.
But, Watson said, it will proba
bly be a long time before that day
arrives, and this requirement is
the first step to educating stu
dents about other cultures.
"To me, it is such an obvious
and trivial step," Watson said.
"The requirement is a first step,
but we need to do much more
that that."
Mazzullo said the University
needs to go beyond this require
ment by making all students feel
welcome bt A&M.
"Our University has a conser
vative reputation," Mazzullo said.
"But whether or not someone is
liberal or conservative, it's impor
tant for a university to show thal
everyone is welcome."
Mazzullo said he is optimistic
about A&M's future.
"A&M has been slow in the
past," Mazzullo said. "ButTve
been here since 1981, I've seen
many people dedicated to diversi
ty. It's a slow struggle, but were
getting there."
As people's understanding of
diversity increases, a rising tided
openness and understanding will
occur, Mazzullo said.
"We want to send a messageto
people within this University and
beyond it," Mazzullo said.
