The Council went on to invite the Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali to appoint a Special Representative of South Africa in order to recommend, after negotiations with the ANC, other parties and the South African government, a series of measures that could bring about an end to the political violence in the country and would lead to a transition to a democratic, non-racist, South Africa.[3] The Special Representative, Cyrus Vance, visited South Africa from 21–31 July 1992, and the Secretary-General reported to the Council on 7 July 1992, leading to the adoption of Resolution 772.[3]
