Because our Government has refused to act for us and stop the tour, we must now do the stopping ourselves. If we support the blacks of Southern Africa in their struggle for liberation, then we must stop this tour. This strategy is the only way to do it. It is a great shame that the tour was not stopped because of apartheid, and now will be cancelled because of internal disruption, but we must still stop the tour.
The Springbok captain has already said that the Springbok tour of New Zealand is a great diplomatic breakthrough for South Africa. He is right. This breakthrough must be quickly closed. We must show the world we support black liberation, not apartheid. We must stop the tour.
July 22!
