de klerk in his own words about the relation with mandela and the tensions about the "third force question" (the support of the IFP by state security agencies): "Our fights that you refer to, our tensions, which were quite severe at times during my presidency especially, centered around, both from his side and my side, some people within our institutions and systems acting against our orders and policies, continuing undercover activities which were actually totally in conflict with the policies which we were trying to advance and the agreements which we were trying to reach" (interview with stengel, see the de klerk article). it must also be mentioned that malan and vlok were both dismissed as ministers by de klerk; and that mandela and de klerk today -as far as i can judge- have a good relation. about gregory: he was invited by mandela to his presidental inauguration in 1994 (as his ex-prison-guard!) and -if i remember correctly- to his 80th birthday. but its true that gregorys book-publication was questionable. --Severino 16:40, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll incorporate them into the article when I have time. I don't own this article of course, so there is no need to wait for me if you want something to change now BillMasen 21:21, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Necklacing

Necklacing was not "practised" by Winnie Mandela - which implies that she personally necklaced several people. The link between Winnie and necklacing is that she made a speech in which she seemed to support the practice. Nor was she "punished" for it - she was widely criticised, but her criminal convictions were for other things not related to necklacing. Bill, the wording is misleading, POV, and needs to be changed.
