The historical enemies were the ruling white minority which ruled South Africa.
Even though many countries criticized the racist government of South Africa, but it continued to rule through brutal methods.
But however, as protests and marches against the government increased, the ruling whites realised that they could no long keep the whites under their control with force ( i.e, suppress them).
Finally in the year 1994, Nelson Mandela was released from prison.
The Blacks along with the whites, began framing the constitution for a new South Africa where the whites and blacks accepted that they would live together.
The blacks accepted that majority rule will not be absolute and that they would not take away the properties of the minority.

Hi,
Your answer :
Nearly fifteen years after the first multiracial elections of April 1994, where is South Africa? Can one consider its constitutional system and its democracy as a model? The early years of the young democracy astonished the observers by the maturity developed by the new regime over such a short period. This success was hailed by attributing the success of the process to factors ranging from Nelson Mandela's personality to the construction of an open and balanced political regime through a negotiated and realistic constitutional transition. The recipe for success has been mainly the result of a combination of factors and circumstances that have on the one hand avoided the confrontation announced as inevitable, on the other hand to foster the development of a new confidence in the rule of law.

The South African democracy of 2008 can not be understood without keeping in mind some key features of the constitutional regime and the context in which the democratic transition took place. The release of Nelson Mandela and the main political prisoners in February 1990 marks the beginning of a new era that will force yesterday's enemies to collaborate and disregard their divisions to agree. Will follow the process of the Conference for a Democratic South Africa (codesa) to define the legal framework of the new regime where the main issue will be focused on finding a balance between "a demographic majority ceasing to be a minority political "and" a ruling minority agreeing to lose power in exchange for certain guarantees ". In this context, South African democracy was at first a democracy of "reason" before being a democracy of "passion"! The most surprising aspect is that neither the National Party nor the African National Congress (anc) believed in the rule of law as a means of dispute resolution. Constitutionalism was far from their minds. The fight - including the army - was for each protagonist the only way to change the regime. The rule of law and democracy have gradually emerged to political leaders as a means of finding an agreement or a way out. South African democracy has thus been built around "constitutional principles", a kind of "command" linking all parties to "multi-party negotiations" through 34 fundamental principles.
Good bye ;)
