4 Even so, the IFP initiated the formation of the Concerned South Africans Group together with the right wing white Conservative Party and the governments of Bophuthatswana and Ciskei.

5 The IFP and CP both subsequently left.

6 The level of violence in the country is a seemingly insoluble problem and the relevant TC has made little progress. At present, there are over 50 murders reported every day and some 1,200 people were killed between July and September 1993.

10 For example, the CP and IFP have condemned the TEC as being an agreement between the government and ANC but might well support the government if they decided to take up their seats. In addition, the PAC has announced that it will not take part in the TEC alleging that it was toothless and would leave the military under the control of the South African government.
