HART ‘showed courage’
PA Wellington HARTs chairman, Ms Pauline McKay, has called on the Government to honour its responsibilities and cancel the Springbok tour. She said yesterday that courage and disciplined restraint were shown by antiapartheid demonstrators at Hamilton on Saturday.
Their action was completely in line with the antiapartheid movement's policy of non-violent direct action, she said, and was in stark contrast to the violence which broke out when the match was called off. “As the country now knows, many rugby people left that ground determined to injure protesters,” she said. “The continuation of this tour will leave no winners in New Zealand. The only beneficiary of this division was the oppressive. apartheid regime in South Africa. Ms McKay said.
