...fuss? For starters, Mecham, 63, has a daunting image problem. A veritable faux pas factory sporting a constant smirk and a vindictive manner, Mecham strikes many voters as a simpleminded ideologue who is giving a bad name to the nation's second-fastest-growing state.

...freely around the country are still controlled by legal fictions, including "citizenship" in bantustans and housing codes which block Blacks from living in "white" cities. Forced removals have broken up Black communities offering resistance to government policies--a perfect example of preventing opposition from mobilizing.
