We do not believe that the Native is really a communist at heart. He is not able to form a conception of the ideology and of the dialectical materialism of their doctrine. - Dr N Diederichs, House of Assembly, 1948.
A large proportion of your Natives today are still savages, others are semi-civilized, others are more or less civilized. - Minister of Justice, 1959.
In the past the torch of civilization had been kept burning in the country because "among other things our forefathers were such good shots." - Minister of Defence, 1961.
Mata Buela, 36, was fined R30 (or two months) this week, for stealing a banana. The value of the banana was placed at one cent. It was his first conviction. - Newspaper report, 1961.
At least ten people have now died in Mamelodi since yesterday morning, according to unconfirmed reports. The figure is expected to rise after police have completed their investigations. - Newpaper report, 1985.
A 13-year-old African babysitter appeared in court on a charge of assault because he hugged a white child in his charge. He had knelt down and opened his arms, and the little girl had run to him and they had hugged. - Newspaper report, 1985.
