However, the legislation still provided restriction on the members of Mandela's African National Congress, which is viewed by South African's regime as a terrorist organization.

"The restriction rather embarrassing matter that I still have to waive in my own counterpart, the foreign minister of South Africa, not to mention the great leader Nelson Mandela," US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told BBC regarding the limitation imposed on ANC members, who were allowed to travel to United Nations headquarters in New York but not to the U.S. capital Washington and other parts of the country.
