Africans want to be paid a living wage. Africans want to perform work which they are capable of doing.… Africans want to be allowed to own land in places where they work, and not to be obliged to live in rented houses which they can never call their own. Africans want to be part of the general population, and not confined to living in their own ghettoes. Africans want a just share in the whole of South Africa; they want security and a stake in society.… Above all, we want equal political rights, because without them our disabilities will be permanent.
