Abstract
Parallel to the talks in Britain, without Young’s knowledge, the secret conversations between Mandela and the negotiating group at Pollsmoor had at last begun. It is possible that none of the participants at Eastwell Manor knew of these exchanges. Yet word of them was soon to reach Tambo directly from Mandela via his lawyer, George Bizos — although not of course of their content. Mbeki was certainly to learn of their existence that summer. Esterhuyse, in close contact with Barnard, may also have learnt of them. Neither Young nor the others were to know until later.
