South Africa
Sir,—ted Mulcock’s letter (February 25) would be "music to the ears” of the enforcers of apartheid: more so his comment that “surely, the battle must be in South Africa.” Successive South African Governments had it that way, before the advent of television. Too few outsiders knew about apartheid to care. History does contain lessons to be heeded, but Pretoria has chosen to disregard the lessons, attempting instead a second chance to fulfil the philosophy of nazism. Recent events, with the Afrikaner Resistance Movement being allowed to present its demands following a rowdy demonstrative show of force, in sharp contrast to the arrest of Archbishop Tutu and other clergymen participating in peaceful protest, should be enough for democratic people to stop and think. Hart has survived 19 years of unin-
formed criticism and excuses, repeated (to the point of monotony, that indicate a deficiency of sorts! on the part of the perpetrators. — Yours, etc.,
KENNETH EBER MARTIN. March 2, 1988.
