What did I do? Well, let me tell the hon member what I did. Before she was born, I was being interrogated by the Special Branch - which was the predecessor of the Security Police - because of my pursuit of a South Africa in which all South Africans would be equal. Before you were born! [Applause.]
But, in this Chamber the decision was taken to remove the coloureds from the roll after a previous decision had removed those few blacks from the common voters' roll. From there we rolled forward to 4,5 million forced removals over the next 36 years; to 12 million imprisonments for pass offences; to 100 000 detentions without trial; and to 25 000 violent deaths.
It is important that we, looking back to that black day in South Africa's history, recognise how we comport ourselves as representatives of the public. It is very important.
I would like to invite hon members from here to come to my legislature. Come and visit us.
