Before The Arrival Of The Credit Union,

My Father Was A Civil Servant, Fairly Sort Of Middle Ranking, Low To Middle Ranking. He Worked Almost Entirely In What Was Then Called Administrative Labour, Dealing With Employment And Unemployment Issues

I Never Thought In Terms Of Being A Leader. I Thought Very Simply In Terms Of Helping People.

There Were Two Mentalities, And Both Mentalities Had To Change. There Was What I Called The Afrikaner Mind Set Of The Unionist Politicians, Which Was Holding All Power In Their Own Hands, And Discriminating, And Their Objective Was To Protect Their Identity

Therefore They Should Come To The Table And Reach An Agreement That Would Protect Their Identity.

I Was Grateful For The Opportunity To Make A Difference. The Political Violence Really Started In 1970-1971. The Political Difficulties Start A Little Bit Beyond That.
