inequalities.(b) The genuine popular leaders and organisations of South Africa s oppressed peo

ple have not been consulted.(c)lt entrenches authoritarianism and Apartheid through a one-party military state.(d) It retains unjust laws, including the denial of citizenship to the African people, and

the fragmentation of South Africa into homelands.(e)lt is designed to make Indian and Coloured people junior partners in a political

system dominated by the National Party.(fj We do not want to sacrifice our children to fight for cn unjust system.
