Nkomati Accord

Nkomati Accord

Nonaggression treaty between South Africa and Mozambique concluded in 1984, under which they agreed not to give material aid to opposition movements in each other's countries, which in effect meant that South Africa pledged itself not to support the Mozambique National Resistance (Renamo), while Mozambique was committed not to help the then outlawed African National Congress (ANC).

Mozambique was forced to enter into the accord because of the state of its economy, and it proved to be a largely one-sided arrangement, with South Africa seldom honouring its obligations. Despite this, the two countries reiterated their commitments to it, and set up a joint security commission to keep the situation under review.
