text: Please believe that most white South Africans also suffered during the rule of the apartheid regime. Particularly so if you did not agree with the extremist policies of the nationalist party. We were forced by call-up into the military or face prison. Those who were working for government parastatel organisations  were paid their full salary while in the military. Those of us who were not as fortunate, were paid a paltry sum of money, in the 60's R10,00 a week.
  
  We were fed lies and falsehoods about the "Swart Gevaar" and communists, who would slaughter all whites. The murders which happened in the Belgium Congo and other African states were held before us and we were certain that this would certainly be our fate as well. 
  
  Many whites saw the bravery of the black nationalists who stood up for what was fair and honourable, such as Steve Biko, Oliver Thambo and Madiba, to name a few. We admired them and and relied on them for our freedom.
  
  Prosecute those murderers and let them pay!
