1990: Nelson Mandela freed from prison

His release follows the relaxation of apartheid laws - including lifting the ban on leading black rights party the African National Congress - by South African President FW de Klerk.
Thousands clamour to see him at a rally in Cape Town, where some youths clash with police.
Mr Mandela tells the crowd: "Our struggle has reached a decisive moment. Our march to freedom is irreversible."
