ABDULLAH ABDURAHMAN

If South Africa is worthily fulfilling her mission; if she has been faithful to her trust; if she is promoting the cause of civilisation, and if her actions are based upon humanitarianism, then she may strenuously and conscientiously proceed on the course she has been following. But if it can be shown that thereis no ethical basis to her policy of dealing with Coloured races, that humanitarianism as dominating factor is invariably wanting, and that underlying her present policy is the principle of class aggrandisement, then we may urge her to halt ere it is too late, and pursue another course.
