On February 2, 1990, de Klerk made a speech to the country, and to the world. No one knew exactly what he was going to say — and he surprised many. President de Klerk declared that the African National Congress — banned for the past thirty years — was no longer outlawed. And he had one more announcement to make: Nelson Mandela would be released from prison. And nine days later, on February 11, 1990, it happened. After twenty-seven long years, Nelson Mandela walked out of prison. He was the last of the Rivonia Trial defendants to be released.

He stood in the courtroom and delivered a speech that lasted more than four hours. He concluded, “During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. ” Mandela’s speech and the Rivonia Trial received much attention around the world.
