UN General Assembly
1963

Southern Rhodesia too will be an independent African State, and its destiny will lie in the hands of the true representatives of the people of Southern Rhodesia who are today oppressed by the racist Government of Mr. Field. This is inevitable, because the conditions which allowed the United Kingdom to cede South Africa and its 15 million Bantu to the Afrikaners are gone forever. Today there are thirty-two independent African States, and they will not agree to Southern Rhodesia's being a racist police State like Mr. Verwoerd's South Africa.
