RESPONSE TO A CRISIS
JAMES MAKHAYA, A combatant of MK, discuss the November white referendum
The history of the Nationalist Party is pock-marked with the continuous manoeuvres to consolidate their power and maintain white supremacy - the rule of the few over the black majority
Whenever their position is seriously threatened they adopt stern measures. Often, as history shows, resorting to open violence and naked repression. But the racist regime does not use only violence. It also deploys its strategies in every other field,
stretching from blatant bribery to political blackmail, from naked military aggression to parliamentary reforms.
