This preface describes a political seminar held in Brazzaville during South African Week, organized by the South African Embassy, IDASA, and the Institute for Security Studies. The seminar aimed to share lessons from South Africa's transition from apartheid to democracy (marked by the date 27 April 1994) with representatives from the Republic of Congo. The resulting electronic publication includes session papers and speeches from four key figures in the South African democratic transition.

• A political seminar was conducted during South African Week in Brazzaville to discuss the transition of South Africa from the apartheid era to a democratic state following the attainment of freedom and democracy on 27 April 1994. The purpose of the event was to share South African transition experiences with representatives from the Republic of Congo to help them draw lessons applicable to their own unique challenges.
• The seminar was jointly organised by the Institute for Security Studies (ISS), the Institute for Democracy in South Africa (IDASA), and the South African Embassy in Brazzaville. It received financial support from the Swiss Cooperation Office in South Africa and facility support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Brazzaville.
• The electronic publication contains the four session papers and the opening and closing speeches from the seminar, featuring presentations from four prominent South Africans who were involved in the debates that established the democracy and the subsequent democratic development and integration of institutions in South Africa.
