PIK BOTHA - SOUTH AFRICA:

And I say to white voters of South Africa, 'I got rid of the Cubans troops.' That makes us both winners! 2/2
📌 IT IS CALLED 'Win win'

MANDELA: A judiciary controlled entirely by whites and enforcing laws enacted by a white parliament in which we have no representation, cannot be regarded as an impartial tribunal in a political trial where an African stands as an accused
MAGISTRATE: After all is said and done, there is only one court today and that is the White Man's court. There is no other court. What purpose does it serve you to make an application when there is only one court. What court do you wish to be tried by?
