	HRW - Letter to Deputy President of South Africa (March 1999)
		Human Rights Watch believes that, contrary to the argument of your speech, national unity and reconciliation in South Africa can only be based on an acknowledgment by all parties to the conflicts of the past, including those who were fighting to overthrow an unjust regime, that the end does not justify the means.
		Human Rights Watch calls upon the South African government not to issue any amnesties beyond those granted by the TRC and to take steps to prosecute both those named in the TRC's report as responsible for gross human rights violations and others for whom there is sufficient evidence to support charges.
		South Africa's democratic transition and the work of the TRC in investigating the past has amazed and inspired many across the world.

		With a surprisingly paltry show of hands in support of her nomination, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela withdrew from the race for deputy president of South Africa's ruling party today, paving the way for a smooth transition from the era of Nelson Mandela to that of Thabo Mbeki.
		Once known as the "mother of the nation" because of her fierce defiance of white-minority rule, Madikizela-Mandela was accused before South Africa's truth commission two weeks ago of involvement in killings and beatings during the apartheid era, and she has been sidelined within the ANC for political indiscipline.
		With Mandela, 79, stepping down from the party presidency and Mbeki, his deputy, rising to replace him, Madikizela-Mandela's withdrawal allowed the smooth ascent of Jacob Zuma from the party chairmanship to its deputy presidency.
