...business interests have wanted for a long time to reform apartheid just enough to stabilize it and maintain the enormous superprofits extracted from the black South African workforce. Harvard's plan plays right into this neo-colonialist strategy, by supplying partners with black forces to complete the deal. Bishop Muzorewa of Zimbabwe-Rhodesia has his lookalikes in South Africa, or will if Harvard...
Although answers to questions concerning how individuals are selected for this program, what will be their course of study, what will they do (if) when they return to South Africa may appear to ameliorate some antagonism toward this program.

Muzorewa, on the other hand, may balk at the idea of abandoning all authority during the interim period. Hard-lining Rhodesian whites, led by former Prime Minister Ian Smith, can be expected to offer stiff resistance to a settlement that strips them of most of their remaining power...
