Require Own Solutions

Require Own Solutions

Can the political effects of the situation be positive? Will South Africa follow our example? I think it very unlikely. They believe their situation is unique and requires its own solutions. The White South African does not have to see other societies to know his is different. He knows what New Zealand has and does not accept it.

If South Africa is to change it will have to be told so - you do not change someone by agreeing with him or by going along with his ways. The White South African must learn that only when he rejects Apartheid will people accept him, and only then will they play sport with him.

Think about it. Consider your own stand and try to reconcile continued sporting contacts with opposition to Apartheid. In my opinion it can't be done.
