South Africa
Sir,—Although, in South Africa, blacks may be in the majority, as W. Y. Rambukwelle says, yet I cannot accept that it is entirely “their country.” I am reliably informed by a New Zealand politician who has made frequent visits there and is on
good terms with blacks there, that a vast number of them have flooded into the country from neighbouring black States to take advantage of prosperity created by blacks and whites together. The flood still continues. How would New Zealanders feel if our country was flooded by people of a different race from further north of Australia and we were vastly outnumbered? We would feel just like the South African whites of today and just like the Maoris of 150.0 r. 20Q yeariLlfcOv: The situation todayisthatwhjte ; dominance is in the world. That ta ?beyond; pute. — Yours, TED HICKS, ! May 8, 1987. i .
