That was the voice of Cyril Ramaphosa, on this day, the 24th of February 1992, the ANC announced its constitutional proposals during the CODESA talks. The ANC's proposals envisioned a two-phase transition to a post-apartheid democracy and were supported by the South African Communist Party (SACP). During Phase One an all-party interim government council would be appointed by CODESA by the third quarter of 1992. The second phase would begin with the election of the constituent assembly, substituting the current tricameral parliament from which Blacks were excluded.
