We made our mistakes, yes I admit. If you ask me whether there was an institutional bias in the organisation against the liberation movements and other parties in favour of the NP government it would be futile to deny it. Of course there was. Was the board not appointed by the president? Yes. Would he appoint board members that would be anti NP on majority? No. Who appointed the DG? The board. Would the DG be somebody, in the olden days, anti NP? No. And did the DG not execute board policy within a broad NP sphere of influence so to speak? Now, I come to another point. The following step. Is today’s board not appointed by the president and the same system not followed? Under the broad ANC sphere of influence? Then I want to ask, what makes the new board Zwelakhe Sisulu and Alistair Sparks better equipped to handle institutional bias than the old board?
