...exactly optimistic about the immediate future for South Africa, Mrs. Suzman thinks that it will be a long time until any fundamental changes of the apartheid policies will take effect. Any pressure from outside the country, she continues would be abortive; a blockade would only draw the forces of reaction further into their ramparts. Furthermore, because of increased trade there is no doubt that they could survive economically, she argues...

The objectives of these laws are not only to make it difficult for Africans to move about and organize a resistance to apartheid, but also to turn them into a migratory labor force. The laws make it impossible for a Black to bring his family into the city area, even if he has come to work there. They also prohibit the Africans from...
