...they had protested each major Nationalist infringement on freedom in the past seven years, the Black Sash members-largely women of English stock whose husbands oppose the government-once again vowed to stand stern symbolic watch until Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd's government forced the sabotage bill through to the inevitable successful vote. In the autumn chill, Black Sash Chairman Jean Sinclair, a 54-year-old Johannesburg housewife, and her handful of matronly recruits were swathed in overcoats as they lit their symbolic torch of freedom and posted placards reading "Reject the Sabotage Bill."

With increasingly totalitarian methods, the white leaders of South Africa are building a southern redoubt for a last-ditch stand against black nationalism on their bottom tip of the continent.

There the stark concept of total apartheid will get its first test-if the plan ever comes off. Almost no one except Verwoerd's determined Afrikaner followers thinks it will, for the cost of development would be enormous, not to mention the reluctance of the black millions to remain forever in underdeveloped enclaves...
