The South African Democracy Education Trust (SADET) was established as a project Trust after President Thabo Mbeki indicated his concern about the paucity of historical material on the arduous and complex road to South Africa's peaceful political settlement after decades of violent conflict

To the South African population as a whole: by providing a major study of South Africa's political history between 1960 and 1994 and thereby revealing the "hidden" aspects of this history; enabling key individuals, as well as ordinary citizens, to tell the story of their role in the liberation struggle; and by placing these "stories" in the public domain in the form of SADET's academic volumes, school and/or popular texts, edited volumes of the interviews conducted by the SADET team, a television documentary series and, CD-Roms for distribution to schools.
