STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL PRESS RELEASE BY CDE KHOTSO SEATLHOLO – 29 OCTOBER 1976

There are a few points which, on behalf of the Black youth and students of South Africa, I wish to make clear–what we think about them, and what our stand is.

It is a pity that I speak at a time when there is no happiness in the Black community; at the crucial moment when the whole country is plunged into a period of unrest and bloodshed. This is the time when the whole of Black Azania has gone into mourning for their dead sons and daughters who have been killed by White police gangsters. Yet, at this serious moment when Rome has gone up in flames, the Hon. Chief Kaiser Matanzima and other stooges of the South African Government, have decided to go feasting with meat and wine while their Black brothers are being shot and killed at their grave yard.
