An editorial essay analyzing the internal contradictions of the National Party Cabinet in 1969. It contrasts the "altruistic" rhetoric of Dr. Piet Koornhof (who argued for the moral development of homelands) with the "callous" pragmatism of Mr. G.F. van L. Froneman (who viewed black South Africans as "surplus appendages"). The journal argues that despite their stylistic differences—labeled here as the "sissy" and the "barbarian"—both men serve the same fundamental goal: the preservation of white supremacy. The text concludes by asserting that the wealth of South Africa belongs to all its people jointly, rejecting the "blueprint" of separate development. -
