The Multi-Party Negotiating Process in South Africa

In March 1993 full negotiations were initiated under the name of the MPNP – Multi-party Negotiating Process – instead of CODESA. Twenty-six parties took part in the MPNP to write and adopt an interim Constitution to say how the government would govern after the elections on 27 April 1994. The MPNP drew up the Interim Constitution which was to last for two years.
