| Editorial comments: | Dated only by month ("July 1988") but listed 13 July, when Buthelezi handed the document to Renwick, as noted in his letter to the FCO of 14 July. Highlighting would appear to be by Renwick. Buthelezi attached to the memorandum a letter from Chris Heunis, Minister of Constitutional Development and Planning in the Botha government. |
