1 Many studies emphasize the idealistic and paternalistic dedication of South Africa's domestic colonial officers, devoted to the unsolvable task of “preparing the natives for self-government fifty years too late,” as Brown, Douglas states in Against the World: A Study of White South African Attitudes (London, 1966), 115.Google Scholar It is this group whose attitudes would seem to be the most relevant in the context of this study.

Sunday Times, Johannesburg, April 9, 1967. Other assessments claim the Afrikaner part in commerce is 28 per cent, in the bank sector 14 per cent, and in secondary industry 9 per cent.
