Synopsis
Excerpt from Road From Sharpeville
The south african scene, with its multiplicity of problems, is so heavily charged with emotion that it is not easy to bring to it that analytical calm which alone can help us emerge from the jungle of controversy, hate and fear. I am entirely opposed to the doctrine of extreme Afrikanerdom, of which Dr Verwoerd is the outstanding exponent; and I believe that, if unchecked, this doctrine will bring ruin to South Africa. Yet I am not prepared to concede that South Africa is a land where nature has deposited evil the way it has lodged the gold ore here. Though our situation is tragic, though evil stalks our land, it is still necessary to try to estimate those forces, historical, social and economic, which have brought about this state of affairs. To modify Burke's famous adage, a whole nation cannot lightly be indicted. And I shall adduce all the extenuating evidence, in an effort to draw a picture that is whole and rounded.
