In th is way they expect to boost the morale o{ South A frica’s white sportsmen and women and the oAganitert of, non-racial Sport pay the high price - when blacks are lured in to accepting the M ulti-national policy. To achieve th e ir goal Uhite newspaper groups owing black newspapers, l ik e the Post and the. Herald are controlled by whites but s ta ffe d by Black. Nearly every white owned newspaper hat a specia l ed ition for Black readership - called Extras. The Sunday Timet has an Extra X o t the "Indian" group, "Coloured" and "African" groups. These Extras are not sold in the "Uhite" areas

Ue owe a debt o f gratitude and pay special tr ib u te to the United Nations Special Coimittee Against Apartheid for the stand i t hat taken and to have called upon i t s members not to. have any sport links with apartheid-stricken South Africa. Ue sag the same to Mr.Abraham Ordia, Mr.Jean Claude Ganga [President t Secretary] of the Supreme Council for Sport in Africa, Mr.Samba Pt^amy, Mr. Chris de Brogilio [Chair­man and Secretary] of SAN-POC, Mr.Trevor Pichards t HART, Mr.Tom Newnhan t CARE,Mr. Kader Asmal i The Irish Anti-Apartheid Movement, Mr. Peter Hain, t SART, Professor Pichard Lapchick t ACCESS, CAPE Australia, Mr. Raphael Gould t The American Comiittee o f Africa, ICARIS i th e numerous others for th e ir to ta l commitment.

Ue have enormous support and although Uhite South Africa hat been embarrassed, Sus­pended and expelled from most in ternational sport organisations and has been con- denmed in the several Pesolutions passed by the United Nations, th e Government has le n t a deaf ear - for i t to change i t s policy of separation.

I t i t reasonable to conclude th a t there i t an awareness in our people to re je c t a system th a t denies the basics in l i f e and unless white South Africans vo luntarily and spontaneously change to accept the Black at equals the a lterna tive may be too horrendous.
