President De Klerk, he said, had not begun to address the central issue, 'that is, the creation of a non-racial democracy in a unitary state'.

The strongest argument for maintaining sanctions is that South Africa is not yet a non-racial democracy.

The one thing he cannot yet call this country is the one thing he most wants it to become - "a non-racial democracy."

We have always believed that South Africa can only realise its true potential if it becomes a prosperous, non-racial, multi-party democracy.

Both would be used until such a time as South Africa negotiated a non-racial democracy and adopted a new flag and anthem.

For years, the Government guaranteed its allure by branding as Communist-inspired almost everything done to promote non-racial democracy.

The assassination, which took place on the eve of the country's peaceful transition to a non-racial democracy, remains a highly emotional issue in South Africa.

South Africa has far to go toward the goal of non-racial democracy.

While he may not have led the drive to a non-racial democracy, he followed it eagerly.

Faced with that choice, most whites understood that non-racial democracy, though a gamble, gave them more hope than a return to racism and isolation.
