analysis: This text appears to be discussing the political situation in South Africa during the Apartheid era, specifically focusing on the principles and negotiations aimed at ending the regime. The text highlights the rejection of democratic principles by the Apartheid government and the need for them to implement certain conditions in order to create a conducive environment for negotiations. The text also mentions the African National Congress and the meeting between the government and the ANC. Given the political nature of the text, it seems unlikely to be related to economic development, natural resources, or other categories that are more focused on specific sectors or industries.
