Summary:The South African parliament approved a Transitional Executive Council (TEC) on September 23 to give blacks their first taste of political power and trigger an end to non-military sanctions. President F W de Klerk's ruling National Party passed the bill by 211 votes to 36 in a parliament which excluded the country's five-to-one black majority. White pro-apartheid leader Ferdi Hartzenberg led his members out of the chamber in protest.
