...surprised. I never thought it was a compromise. Let's look at it from a practical point of view. What had been the ingredients I had been dealing with as a real humanitarian, because that is what I am, and a man of compassion. I was dealing with a factual situation of twenty thousand squatters and their living conditions in that squatters camp were not good. In addition, there are more than six thousand coloureds out of employment in the Cape Town area and just as many blacks. That is over and above the unemployed in Crossroads...
