The Transkei is the first Bantu homeland which has approached the government of the republic to aid it by means of this great step on the road to independence for which in its final form it rightly feels it is not yet ready.’ // ‘It is indeed a historic hour that we are experiencing as within the hour the Republic of Transkei will be born. It is given to very few to be present at the birth of a new state.’
