Abstract
South Africa’s white racial oligarchy has been dominated since 1948 by an Afrikaner nationalist movement from which virtually all others, excepting a few token English-speakers, have been excluded. Admittedly, at times substantial numbers of English-speakers have voted for the National Party (NP): 20-25% in the 1977 general election and about 70% casting ‘Yes’ votes in the 1983 referendum on the tricameral parliament. 1 But, because their interests were perceived as being in conflict with those of Afrikaners and even with the political survival of whites, they were never admitted to the decision-making process.
