After Nelson Mandela was released from prison in 1990, he and representatives of the African National Congress (ANC) began a public period of negotiations in preparation for majority rule in that nation. The negotiations were set back however when ANC leader Chris Hani was assassinated. When many in the country assumed that violence would break out between government supporters and ANC supporters, Mandela on April 13, 1993, gave a speech calling for calm and the continuation of negotiations.
