Slabbert takes his queue from the so-called ‘National Question’ outlined in the ANC journal Umrabulo no. 23 and put before the ANC National Congress in June 2005, which is about ‘the liberation of Blacks in general and Africans in particular’.
In Slabbert’s view, the moment one moves away from using the term African in a context other than referring to an uncomplicated geography one enters a world of ideological agendas and value judgments.
Slabbert’s next move is to complicate what he calls an exclusive African identity, defined in the terms laid out by the prominent ANC ideology, by calling to the present various examples in historical and political alignments (e.g.

 What is wanted is not residence, but solidarity : Mail & Guardian Online
Frederik van Zyl ­Slabbert is suspicious of answers that define “African” along ethnic or racial lines, and rightly so -- his “abiding revulsion for closed systems” is the hard-won inheritance of all South Africans.
A second problem with Van Zyl Slabbert’s definition is that it is too inclusive -- it was equally true of white South Africans under apartheid.
This is not another of the tautologies Van Zyl Slabbert tilts at, but the recognition that our identity derives from our shared existence and our shared fate.

 Boekwurm - Frederik van Zyl Slabbert   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
As hierdie boek 'n leser hoegenaamd tot nadenke stem, is dit oor die vraag wanneer en in watter omstandighede die skryf van 'n outobiografie aangewese of geregverdig is. Hierdie een moes beslis nog gewag het of dan met groter sorg aangepak gewees het.
Dat iemand soos Slabbert, met sy politieke ervaring en akademiese geskooldheid, nie werklik verder gaan as die algemene joernalistieke gemeenplase nie, is dubbeld teleurstellend.
Die waardevolste bydrae van die boek is te vinde in die kort gedeelte waar daar besin word oor die maatskaplike kapitaal wat Afrikaners en Afrikaanssprekendes tot die land kan bydra.

Stressing that he was speaking in his personal capacity, Slabbert said that he "personally supports the Constitutional Court judgment that in a closed list system you come in as a member of a party and do not have a constituency mandate".
Slabbert said when the current Constitution had been finalised, it had been provided that the electoral system in force at the time would only apply until 1999.
As a result, Slabbert said "since 1999 a vacuum has existed in terms of electoral law and that vacuum must be filled before 2004, although I am sure that given its authority, Parliament can introduce some temporary measure or extend the existing one, but that has not been done".
