Dear comrade Mzu: I was not able to respond to your response last week due to some daily chores and work commitments. However, I need to make the following comments. You seem to have a parochial view of our political antecedents. It is a simple thing to blame the ANC and NP for the World Trade Center settlement, and other thing to absolve the blame to the PAC . this, I say, because you indicate that the victory was the ANC'S. The point I wanted to make was that, during the negotiations, the capitalists were much aware of what they were likely to lose in negotiations. Eventually, they sought to safeguard the following
* Sunset clause (Power sharing) * Bill of rights ( right to own a property) * TRC ( a means to evade jail for offenders of apartheid) The foregoing list is not exhaustive, however, it is indicative of the fact that whites acted proactively. As I indicated that in any armed conflict, parties in belligerence ought to negotiate the immunity of belligerents. World history in armed conflicts is replete with examples of diplomacy or negotiations after wartime for the protection of the guerrillas. Admittedly, we were inexperienced and myopic of the fact that our fraternal brothers ( ANC) would turn against us. As a result, we are sitting with an challenging problem of having our comrades languishing in prisons in a country they fought to liberate. Unfortunately, to resolve this problem, insurrection can never be an ideal solution, rather constitutional means can be appropriate. However, the so called presidential pardons are invariably taking protracted time. it is very touching that people that fought to liberate us are behind bars.
