Congress on the one hand is an essential part of the foreign policy process and, on the other, is a mortal threat...

In contrast to Hillbrow, which was formerly all white, Woodstock has always been home to a sizable colored population, most of whom speak the same Afrikaans language as local whites and belong to Dutch Reformed churches -- though not the same ones as local whites.
