democratic breakthrough did not come from heaven; it came as a result of the sustained struggles waged by brave men and women who believed in the equality of all races. It is a result of the pain of discrimination, the pain of segregation, the pain of oppression and subjugation, the pain of imprisonment, the pain of exile and the pain of having your loved ones killed for fighting for a just course. The ANC has, through popular campaigns and mass action, earned its right as a leader of these struggles to rid our country of these injustices.
