I don't see that we have made any fundamental concessions on principle -- practical concessions, yes. MANDELA: There is no question of compromising on majority rule. But there has been a demand for federalism. The regions can draw up their own constitutions. They can make their own laws and impose taxation. We did not agree with this.
