  1. I hold a bachelor's degree in arts and practised as an attorney in Johannesburg for a number of years in partnership with Oliver Tambo.
  2. Some of the things … are true and some are untrue. I do not, however, deny that I planned sabotage. I did not plan it in a spirit of recklessness, nor because I have any love of violence.
  3. In my youth … I listened to the elders … telling stories of the old days. Amongst the tales they related to me were those of wars fought by our ancestors in defence of the fatherland.
  4. Hundreds and thousands of Africans are thrown into jail each year under pass laws…
  5. …The suggestion that the struggle in South Africa is under the influence of foreigners or communists is wholly incorrect. I have done whatever I did because of my experience in South Africa and my own proudly felt African background…
  6. During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people.
