  • Transcript:
    The whole of the civil service would have to be opened up so as to make it a truly South African civil service, and not the administration of a racial minority. It would be accountable to Parliament and the local community it serves. There would be a non-racial and non-sexist defence and police force, and a prison service comprising personnel that are well trained, disciplined, humane and loyal to the Constitution. There would be rule of law in which all South Africans would be free to participate either directly, or through their representatives in the law-making bodies, without discrimination based on race, colour, creed or religion. As far as personal security and crime, the first priority was to address the crime producing conditions that prevailed in our society. The ANC declared that there would be no respect for the institutions that enforce law and order unless the people respect the law. They would do so if the laws were just and if they participated both in their making and enforcement. A just criminal system would enhance respect for the courts and obedience of the law. 11
