JANI ALLAN in 'nonderhoud met d~e Sunday Telegraph. Ondanks al die histerie en handgebareen dreigemente en kakie-kostuums waarvanonsdeesdae sobaie sien, glo ek die vrees vir 'n wit terroriste-oorlog en 'n rasse-bloedbad is so klein dat ons dit eintlik kan ignoreer. Menseword netwerklik terroriste ofvryheidsvegters ashulle ontbeer, ashulleergonderdrukword of intens haat. Die ver-regses voldoen net aan een kwalifikasie, en dit is haat. Maar dis nie die soort diepgeseteldehaat wat'n mens byvoorbeeldin Noord-Ierland kry nie, want daar is nie eintlik iemand om regtig te haat nie. Wie moet hullehaat? Niemandonderdruk of wit hulle onderduk nie, niemandwil hulle verbied om Afrikaans te wees of Afrikaans te praat nie, niemand wi! regtig hulle grond afvat nie. Die meeste Afrikaners kry nieswaar nie, inteendeel. Daarwas nie 'n groter afskrikmiddel vir terroriste­ speletjies as toe 'n klomp belhamels in die tronk gestop en hulle hul werk verlooren hul blinkkarre moes prysgee nie.

EK GLO DIE Afrikaners is klaar stadigaan besig om gewoond te raak aan die nuwe gesig van ons gemeenskap, en teen dietyddat NelsonMandela of Cyril Ramaphosa staatspresidentis,salhulle niks erger tekere gaan as nou nie. En uiteindelik saldie meeste van hulle agterkom dat net 'n regverdige staatsbestel vredeen voorspoed kanbring, en dat dieNuweSuid-Afrika nieeintlikvee!aan hullewens verander het nie behalwe dat hulle nou die All Blacks en die Wallabies sommer terselfdertyd in die land het. Wat het van die regse terroriste en al hul dreigemente in dievoormaligeSuidwesen Rhodesie geword? Hulle boer en werk voort en gaan aan met hullewens. Vramaar vir enige Afrikaner in Namibia en hy of sy salerkendat al waar syof haarlewe werklikverander het, is datdaar nie meer oorlog is nie.

Tot en metDonderdag was daar noggeeneensternmigheid oor die saak tussen die ANC en die regering nie. Die ANC aanvaar diekwessie vanamnestie, maar verwerp die koppeling daarvan metdie vrylating van gevangenes.

Baie vandie versierings is tydelik, soos die Indiane en sekere Afrika-stamme severi, maardaar is ook permanente gebruike soos om kerwe op die wange te sny. In die gemeenskappe was die versiering van die liggaam gewoonlik 'n uitdrukking van gemeenskaplikheid wat volgens streng voorskrifte moet geskiad.
