...black majority, has a history of struggle against oppression. During the 17th and 18th centuries, while the Cape colony was under the control of the Dutch East India Company, the earlier settlers, who by now included German immigrants and French Huguenots seeking religious freedom, were the first to suffer. They were denied land rights and subjected to fines for such offenses as allowing their cattle to stray...
Parents apparently suffer few illusions, however, about how much effect their frowning will have. About three-quarters approve of classroom discussions of sex relations even before high school, and more than three-quarters think parents are doing "the right thing" in instructing their own teen-age children about the use of contraceptives.

The intellectual elite that was vocal, vital and critical of corrupt governments has chosen to either join the corruption, flee the country or suffer in silence. The army which should protect the interest of the people has become fickle-minded and equally as corrupt as the governments they seek to perpetrate. A new method of corruption, practised by many African governments, is that of the "unopposed-system." This system denies the African the franchise...
