Abstract
A finales de abril del año 1994, el líder del Congreso Nacional Africano (CNA), Nelson Mandela, obtendría la victoria en las elecciones generales de la República de Sudáfrica. Esta victoria marcaba un hito en una larga historia de lucha por la libertad racial que habría conmocionado a un agotado país, a un continente, y a un mundo que daba sus primeros pasos tras el final de la Guerra Fría.
