Occasional Paper

Address by the Honourable P W Botha delivered at the Sandton Holiday Inn on 31 August 1984

In his address mr P W Botha talked about the emerging South Africa and the role it could play in the normalisation of relations. He mentioned political freedom that was brought about by decolonisation and the hopes that Africa could solve their problems. However the disappointing developments will not deter South Africa from playing a leading role in creating stability and peace in the region.
