Watching Dr Alan give that speech had me in tears . They were special times. I have to remind myself of that wonderful sense of unity and passive resistance .. It felt like we awoke as a nation and were united with a voice. Funny thing is I was drafted the following year for military service in Bethlehem OFS and voted YES in the 92 referendum . I must have been the only YES vote in the whole district . Those boere boytjies didn't like me too much. Powerful times. .i still pray for my country and my brothers and sisters. God Bless South Africa and all its people!!
hey I am a couloured with white skin, my great great gandfather was from Netherlands, so I look white but I grew up in Grassy Park, Retreat and Steenberg. I am only 22 so I wasn't born at the time of this video but I can tell you that I am not impressed with where my fellow coloureds have come since this time. We got freedom, now what ouens
This brings back so many memories I was there that day even with the assurance from the then government that they would not arrest the protesters quite a large number of us partaking in this historic and might I say the biggest march Cape Town has ever seen had their bail money hidden on their body just in case they {South African Police } changed their minds What a gathering it was Not sure if the Arch { Desmond Tutu} coined the phrase RAINBOW NATION on that day for the first time Wow Great footage
