	Walter Sisulu - Congress and the Africanists, Africa South, July-September 1959
		The principal target of their attacks is the broad humanism of the African National Congress, which claims equality but not domination for the African people, and regards South Africa as being big enough and rich enough to sustain all its people, of whatever origin, in friendship and peace.
		Africa and its peoples have suffered too much in the past from racialism and the "master race" ideology to adopt any such dangerous doctrines.
		But in a country like South Africa, where the Whites dominate everything, and where ruthless laws are ruthlessly administered and enforced, the natural tendency is one of growing hostility towards Europeans.

	COMMENTARY ON RACE IN SOUTH AFRICA
		South African scholars have been slow to focus their research efforts on the subject of race, producing a lag between local academic work and international scholarship.
		It is interesting that in the post-Apartheid non-racial society of South Africa, whites still reject the appellation “African.” It is even more interesting to watch some embrace this internally vilified identity in international arenas, as they strategically seek cover their political, economic and social gains under apartheid.
		Underpinning this was the position of South Africa in the British Empire and Commonwealth in the first half of the twentieth century, and the dominant role South Africa has played in British calculations about Southern Africa for much of the century.

	Apartheid, South Africa - Wander the Planet .net
		Officially started in 1948 when the Afrikaner Nationalist party came to power, South African Apartheid was a system of racial laws devised to "Preserve and promote a white majority over a fl majority." There was racial discrimination and separation before that time but from that year onwards the government passed laws to enforce it.
		And it was a lie that the South African government, between 1948 and 1994, was a legitimate democracy.
		In this way, the government strips millions of fls of their South African citizenship and forces them to become residents of their new "homelands." Blacks are now considered foreigners in white-controlled South Africa, and need passports to enter.

		Another disparity is evident within the sub-continent: Of the 980 large dams in sub-Saharan Africa, around 589 are in South Africa, whereas Tanzania, a country with nearly the same land mass and population, only has two large dams.
		Southern-Africa and northern sub-Saharan Africa, in particular the strip across the continent along and north of the Sahel region in West Africa, suffer the most, says Mark Giordano.
		The 1959 Nile Basin agreement preserved British colonial interests in Sudan after Egyptian independence in 1922 and declaration of the Egyptian Republic in 1953, but Egypt and Sudan are the only actors with power in the allocation of Nile resources.

	Verwoerd's Grim Plot
		Moreover, in South Africa, we all know full well that no Chief can retain his post unless he submits to Verwoerd, and many Chiefs who sought the interest of their people be fore position and self -advancement have, like President Lutuli, been deposed.
		Thereafter a National Convention of all the people of South Africa could be summoned and numerous suggestions of the democratic changes, that should be brought about, including the suggestions of Professor du Plessis, could form the subject matter of the Convention.
		In the light of these facts it Is sheer nonsense to talk of South Africa as being about to take a "supremely positive step towards placing Africans on the road to self-government- or of having given them more powers to rule themselves.

		In spite of the many developments that progressively stripped all fls of basic rights in South Africa during his lifetime, and which effectively rendered this goal unrealizable, Jabavu continued to cling to the Cape ideal.
		Like many elite, mission-educated South African fls of his age, Jabavu was unable to jettison his ideological commitment to polite deputations in favor of grass-roots radicalism.
		She demonstrates a strong grasp of the tensions surrounding his public lives and manages to present an impartial assessment of his foibles and failures as well as his strengths and accomplishments.

	Appeal to British People to Boycott South Africa - 1959 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Next year it is proposed to conduct a limited boycott of South African produce in Britain for a period of one month.
		The boycott is a protest against apartheid, the removal of political rights, the colour bar in industry, the extension of passes to African women and the low wages paid to Non-White workers.
		This appeal is therefore directed to the people of Great Britain to strike a blow for freedom and justice in South Africa and for those whom the State would keep in continuing subjection in the Union.
