Apartheid : Crime against humanity

Recently, South Africa's National Party scored an overwhelming victory in the whites-only election crushing other contestants which had banked on a waning support for apartheid. Botha's clever strategy needs to be understood. Botha was asked
to take urgent steps to do away with the cornerstones of segregation in South Africa-the Group Areas Act and the Population Registration Act. But• he tried to shift the focus away from the fundamental issues. However, for South Africa's 22 million
voteless blacks then can be only one conclusion, and that is the demolition of any lingering hope that real socio- political reforms, let alone a change of government, can be brought about through the whites-only parliamentary process. The racial conflict claimed some 2,500 lives since 1984. i, But one thing is certain. It is impossible to believe that 22 million blacks would continue to be dominated by a mere five million whites. They are not alone; freedom-loving people all over the world have pledged support even through Africa Fund to their cause. The people of South Africa are determined to fight and end the racial arrogance imposed
by Botha supporters.
