The South African newspaper Sechaba reported in April of 1984 that the "American imperialists" were encouraging the Botha regime to attack the African National Congress and other anti-apartheid revolutionaries taking refuge in the front-line states.
The South African Government, on the other hand, publicly enhanced its repressive measures; passing a series of restrictive laws, openly unleashing the federal police upon the anti-apartheid leadership, and setting the police regulars upon protesters.
The South African government did not fail to see the growing cohesion of the freedom movement, and tried to take steps to mute the rising chorus of voices demanding a change in what they had come to think of as "their" country.
