Special Report Transcript Episode 79, Section 5, Time 43:21

‘n Kleurling [a coloured] …so in those years of apartheid they were the most privileged because to my thinking they were the most privileged because of the colour of their skin, and the language they were talking. // In certain places you could not find work because you carried a pass book. You had to first go to the magistrate to get a pass to go into certain towns if you were a Black person. Whereas the coloured could go anywhere with his green ID card. // Even speaking Afrikaans was also another priority, because if you go to the ‘baas’ and say you can’t speak Afrikaans, then he’ll say ‘ek het nie tyd vir kaffirs nie,’ I have no time to waste on you, gaan man [go!]. So those were all attempts, as I see them, to make a black man feel that he’s nothing if he’s not a coloured. So he must rather change.
