Talk by Julius Lewin , LL.B.
Senior Lecturer in Native Law and Administration,
Witwatersrand University
Mr. Lewin analyses some of the factors in both Afrikaans- and English-speaking South Africans which he believes are continuing to keep the two groups apart. He considers that the unusual situation of political power resting with one group, and economic power predominantly with the other, gives rise to a balance of social forces that may well constitute the country's salvation.
