Nkomati Accord
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nkomati Accord was a nonagression treaty signed on 16 March, 1984 between the Mozambican government and the apartheid government of the Republic of South Africa. The event took place at the South African town of Komatipoort with the signatories being Samora Machel and PW Botha. Its focus was on preventing Mozambique from supplying materials to the African National Congress (ANC) on the one hand, and South Africa from supplying the Mozambican National Resistance (Renamo), on the other.
However, the apartheid regime continued funneling financial and military resources until a permanent peace accord (the Rome General Peace Accords) was reached in 1992 and was supervised by ONUMOZ until 1994.
