In 1973 attorney K.M.N. Guzana was leader of the opposition Democratic Party in the national legislature of the theoretically independent nation of Transkei, one of the former homelands created by South Africa to contain the black population and thus reduce their “majority” status in the white dominated state. Despite that status, Guzana addressed the students of the University of Port Elizabeth on August 15, 1973 and made the case for a South African citizenship that embraced all of the country’s inhabitants regardless of their racial background.
