[Introduction]

*"Coloured" is the term used by the white regime to describe Africans of mixed races. Henry Isaacs (himself officially termed a "Coloured") stressed that the liberation movements of Azania regarded all those from racial minorities or of mixed descent as Black - indicating these groups' equal importance to the liberation struggle. The recent riots were "Coloured" protests, but will be referred to in this article as Black, in the same way that "Azania" has now replaced "South Africa" in the language of the oppressed African majority.
