(3) Ratify the Gleneagles Agreement!

The Gleneagles Agreement states that "They (the Commonwealth Heads of State) accepted it as the urgent duty of each of their governments to vigorously combat the evil of Apartheid by witholding any form of support for, or by taking every practical step to discourage, contact or competition by their nationals with sporting organisations, teams or sportsmen from South Africa, or from any other country where sports are organised on the basis of race, colour, or ethnic origin."

The New Zealand Government has, in the main, allowed the Gleneagles Agreement to become a dead letter. Contacts with South African sportsmen have been frequent over the past two years or so, but very little has been done to discourage them.
