It is very pleasing to our
young African men so politically
conscious in the year 1960. The
African youth is now that
the question ofSout h Af rica IS no
exclusive concer n of the White
minority alone, but of Al.L S. outh
Africans. At the same time It IS an
international questi on of common
concern to 'all the nat ions en-
gaged in the nresent battle for
freedom against apar theid. It is a
concern to the emergent free
African states and the UNO which
have blazed the trail in showing
to the world in nractice now the
path of nation al liberation and
equality leads, not to weakness.
but to strength, and is of mutual
advantage to the former ruling
class and the former oppressed
subject.
South Africa's situat ion here
and abroad is very serious, but not
yet irreparable. It is up to you,
my brothers, to show by word or
deed that you hate nobody but
evil. It was Caliban (Tempest) who
said to his master, "You taught
me language and my profit on't is
I know how to curse."
