The document summarizes Nelson Mandela's inauguration as the first black President of South Africa on May 10th. The ceremonies took place in the sandstone amphitheater formed by the Union Buildings in Pretoria. Mr. de Klerk was first sworn in as Second Deputy President. A spectacular flyover of South African jets, helicopters and troop carriers roared over the Union Buildings. The day was symbolic for Mandela as both national anthems, the old and new, were sung by blacks and whites.
