Sorry
"They have been killed in their hundreds, yet the word has not been used in all these years.  Now it is being used especially after the Pretoria South African Air Force bomb.
		But implicit in the practice of the South African regime is that when you shoot an African you are not killing a civilian.  We don't want to kill civilians but some will be hit, quite incidentally and regrettably.  I am sure we are going to lose many civilians and many innocent people as happens in any violent situation".
	I quote -
"We do not boast about it in the way the South African regime boasts about its killings.  I think South Africa is going to be a very happy country one day and we will avoid all avoidable loss of life but harsh as this sounds we cannot allow the system to persist for the sake of saving a few lives.  It is not so harsh when one considers how many lives apartheid has destroyed."
	Chairperson those are the words of our President Tambo at the time, and that was policy.
