It may be that apartheid brings such stupendous economic advantages to countries that they would sooner have apartheid than permit its destruction.

The apartheid system renounces no violence.

Apartheid is inherently a practice of violence.

The violence associated with the A.N.C. is minimal, infinitesimal next to the violence of the apartheid regime.

Our target is not negotiations, it is the end of the apartheid system. There can be no compromise about that.

We had to forge an alliance of strength based not on colour but on commitment to the total abolition of apartheid and oppression; we would seek allies, of whatever colour, as long as they were totally agreed on our liberation aims.
