If apartheid is removed, then the violence that is necessary to maintain it will be removed along with the pressures from apartheid which create a violent response.

The apartheid system renounces no violence.

Apartheid is inherently a practice of violence.

The violence associated with the A.N.C. is minimal, infinitesimal next to the violence of the apartheid regime.

Our target is not negotiations, it is the end of the apartheid system. There can be no compromise about that.

How do you deal with a criminal that will not listen to what you have to say and who continues his policy of violence? Some say you continue to talk and let him tire himself out. But nearly 40 years after the institution of apartheid, is there anyone who still believes that verbal persuasion will work?
