Special Report Transcript Episode 69, Section 7, Time 49:20

Before you close the proceedings, if you don’t mind, you’re dealing with a very difficult area, so we thought we’ll read you very nice lines which characterize the very conflict we’re trying to analyse. // Is it a poem in Afrikaans? // Listen… // English for a change… // English for a change. // ‘The first to go are the niceties // the little minor conformities // that suddenly seem absurdities // soon kindling animosities // surmount all civilities and // start the first brutalities // then come bold extremities // the justified enmities // the unrestrained ferocities’ // That is the character of our conflict.
