I also heard in an interview on Sunrise which is the morning show on ETV and he supports us. I am not sure if reparations will be enough to cange the plight of the poor however I know complete repossesion of our land and wealth will change it. he only question now I think we need to answer is "Do we need whites to sympathise with the black condition?" I do not have the answer myself but I would attempt to answer it by saying we are the ones suffering and are the ones that can change the black condition. De Vos will not champion our struggle but we will.
