Abstract:The balance of forces in Southern Africa is gradually tipping in favour of the revolutionary forces in this region. Vorster tries to break out of the ring of pressures through the unexpected tactic of 'detente', dialogue or 'contact' with Black Africa. An examination of the 'detente' reveals its true purpose: a collective strategy by the whole imperialist bloc to crush the liberation movement. Change in South Africa can only mean one thing - revolution - and not dialogue or detente.
