1. “Secondly, on a regional and continental level, any talk of stability in Africa, any talk of the beginning of development in Africa, will be limited as long as the situation in South Africa remains grave through operations such as the one in Boipatong. It is true that there are many major problems in other parts of Africa, but there is one incontrovertible fact: the situation in South Africa is the most fundamental ef Africa's problems. We are increasingly convinced that settling the situation in South Africa will release the forces of progress in Africa so that Africa may enter a new era of effective, positive participation in world affairs. Thirdly, at the international level, the world is fast moving towards a new era in international relations.”

2. “First, on a national level, what is the truth about the reality of a strong political will to put a definitive end to the system of apartheid and to move towards a genuine democratic system, which would mean the beginning in South Africa of an era free from discrimination on the basis of colour, race, ethnic origin or religion? The use of force or violence to sow fear and terror in the souls of people is most dangerous, because citizens have an increasing feeling that the Government is either behind such acts or encourages them. I should like to obtain some clarification on this from Mr. Pik Botha, Foreign Minister of South Africa.”

3. “Boutros Boutros-Ghali, not only on his election to his high post but also on his spirit of dedication and initiative. As the Foreign Minister of Senegal said, we have come to the Security Council to consider the grave, negative developments in South Africa, which have been clearly and sincerely described by President Nelson Mandela. These are developments related to one of the most important issues facing the international community as a whole and, more specifically, Africa. It is an issue that raises many major questions.”

4. “Mr. MOUSSA (Egypt) (interpretation from Arabic}: At the outset, Sir, I am pleased to salute you, a dear friend, a skilled Ambassador and a representative of a friendly country bound to Egypt by the closest ties of African unity. I also congratulate you on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month. I believe the Security Council's consideration of the situation in South Africa under your presidency will allow us, through this debate, to attain the best possible results in favour of the peace and normalization processes in South Africa and of an end to the era of apartheid, with the violence, segregation and backwardness that it has allowed and continues to allow. I also once again congratulate the Secretary-General, Mr.”
