The second cabinet of Pieter Botha was formed following his assumption of the position of State President of South Africa on 3 September 1984. It was dissolved on 6 September 1989, after Botha's incapacitation following a stroke in January of that year. After Botha's resignation in February, he was replaced by Chris Heunis as acting state president for the remaining few months of the cabinet's term. Heunis was replaced with Frederik de Klerk, who was elected leader of the National Party on 2 February and inaugurated as state president on 20 September.
