Because industrial peace is so vital to the white supremacist government of Prime Minister John Vorster, labor inspectors seldom object to the bending of apartheid rules even in South African-owned plants. Since the presence of the multinationals is much valued by the regime, they enjoy even more latitude in defying apartheid...
