1989 part of a letter

P.W. Botha and F.W. De Klerk were both State Presdents of South Africa, the last two in power during Apartheid, both went to the Truth and Reconciliation Comission.

a letter from bording school July 1989

This came from the Save the Children Campaign in South Africa during Apartheid.
Children were detained without trial and often tortured.

All children have the right to a name, enough food to eat and a decent place to live.
All children should be looked after when they are sick and have a right to grow up with love, affection and security.
Handicapped children have a right to special treatment and education.
All children have a right to free education and should be protected from neglect, cruelty and exploitation.
All children should not be made to work before a certain age and should be protected from discrimination.
All children should never have to fear arrest and detention and should be brought up to understand that their energy and talents should be devoted to the service of their brothers and sisters.

Description from a social worker of a boy who had recently been released from detention:
‘A 15 year old boy sat motionless and silent for an hour. The only sign of his pain was the tears running down his cheeks’
