We are also grateful to our staff who, despite their daily chores, gave themselves time to see to the completion of this work. We apologise to our readers for the delay in the publication of this Review. Our publication date was set for August 1976, but due to seveial setbacks which we encountered we have only been able to complete the publication early in 1977. Introduction The period under review was marked by interesting developments and events within the black community. In virtually all aspects of life there were notable developments. In Bantustan politics, the peak of what propagators of apartheid see as the success of the separate development policy, was seen live in the Transkei when the territory was involved in intensive preparations for the emergence of a new state under the independence tag. The continued opposition to segregated schools and separate education for the various races in South Africa resulted in the country-wide disturbances. The solution to the long standing issue of liberation of Namibia and the acceleration of international pressure brought to bear on the South African government still continued to hit the news during the period under review. In the field of sport there were echoes calling for non- racialism in sport and the South African government was insisting on the need for adherence to multi-nationalism in* sport. Without delving into developments in each field, I want to mention that this book will present a valuable and interesting piece of literature from which the black community can assess its failures and successes in order to improve on the past. It was encouraging to observe that the distribution of the last issue of Black Review was fairly successful which indicated a growing sense of appreciation and interest on the part of the public. Black Review is used by researchers, libraries, educational institutions and ,those people who are interested in history because it strives towards projecting the objective facts about events and trends within the black community, presented by Blacks themselves. The Communications Department of Black Community Programmes wishes to apologise to its readers for the delay in publication. Due to certain circumstances we were unable to complete this book by August, as was scheduled. Nevertheless, the completion of Black Review 1975/76 still manifests endless efforts by our staff and the community support to make this venture a success as always. We wish our readers a pleasant time when assimilating the contents and also hope that the book will not only be displayed but read in order to know and to understand the black community better. A list of other publications available at all Black Community Programmes offices in the country appears at the end of the book, including books published during the year under review and available at Ravan Press.

With maturity there emerged some characteristics of the policy, some of which, although they had always been suspected by people opposed to the system, had, however, strictly remained
