Seven years before South Africa’s first democratic elections, the Institute for a Democratic Alternative in South Africa (Idasa) facilitated talks between a delegation of white South Africans and members of the ANC, then in exile, in Dakar, Senegal. The photos provide an opportunity to reconsider the role of dialogue and talking as ways of overcoming differences and creating common ground. The photographs form part of the Idasa Archives hosted at Stellenbosch University’s Library and Information Service. The majority of the photographs exhibited were taken by Rashid Lombard in July 1987.
The exhibition is open daily at 09:00-18:00
