Abstract
Events in South Africa after the final Mells Park conference moved relatively speedily, if erratically, towards their historic climax. On 20 July, as predicted by Mbeki at Mells Park, Mandela, on his return from abroad, had a surprise meeting with de Klerk to resume the peace process: new talks were set for 6 August. But events turned against both parties over the next few days. A series of vicious attacks by armed gangs, believed to be Zulus, on trains left dozens injured or killed; between 1990 and 1994 some 600 died and 1,400 were injured in such attacks.
