OLIVER TAMBO

The victories of the liberation movements particularly in Africa whether they were achieved by peaceful or violent means have been a source of great inspiration to millions od oppressed people and have given impetus and momentum to their dream which almost immediately became a reality. . . . The African Revolution has had a tremendous impact on the world. It has swept aside the hollow myth of white rule based on alleged superiority of the white over the black. In the world forums the rapid appearance of African states has tilted the balance against the former imperialist states.

- Oliver Tambo, "Intensify the Revolution", Sechaba, July 1969.
