1992 – General strike is called for by Anti-apartheid activist and South African President


27 July, ANC President Nelson Mandela states that a general strike would go ahead and that the aim of the mass protest was not an insurrection but the peaceful removal of de Klerk from power; the immediate transfer of political power to the people, installation of an interim government, free and fair elections to a constituent assembly.
