The black masses of South Africa – and I know Bantu in all parts of South Africa – are orderly and peace-loving. They are loyal to the government and administration of the country ... The groups of people seeking their own gain are small and they make use of mass psychology at mass gatherings, and by threats and other means are sometimes the cause of trouble ... We do not intend to be perturbed by what is said and done in the outside world in all ignorance. (Hendrik Verwoerd)
