RELEASE FROM JAIL

VICTOR VERSTER PRISON IN PAARL ON FEBRUARY 11, 1990

SPEECH - Our resort to the armed struggle in 1960 with the formation of the military wing of the ANC (umkhonto we sizwe) was A purely defensive action against the violence of apartheid. The factors which necessitated the armed struggle still exist today. We have no option but to continue. We express the hope that A climate conducive to a negotiated settlement would be created soon, so that there may no longer be the need for the armed struggle.

You know, you can only lead them from behind.
