Abstract:  The South African Democracy Education Trust (SADET) was established as a project Trust after President Thabo Mbeki indicated his concern about the paucity of historical material on the arduous and complex road to South Africa's peaceful political settlement after decades of violent conflict. The Road to Democracy project is producing a series of books of that title that are a chronological analysis of four decades - 1960-1970, 1970-1980, 1980-1990, 1990-1994. SADET's mission is to examine and analyze events leading to the negotiated settlement and democracy in South Africa with a focus on the events leading to the banning of the liberation movements; the various strategies and tactics adopted in pursuit of the democratic struggle; the events leading to the adoption of the negotiation strategy; and the dynamics underpinning the negotiations process between 1990 and 1994. The books are available online at the website. The project management and research team consists of Dr Gregory Houston (Executive Director), Professor Bernard Magubane (Editor-in-Chief), Dr Sifiso Ndlovu (Director of Research) and Mrs Elsa Kruger (Project Administrator).
