“A black man may have to work on a farm or in a factory. He may have to work for an English or Afrikaans-speaking employer and he must be able to understand his instructions. Why should we now start arguing about language of instruction for black people? … No, I haven't consulted them and I'm not going to consult them. I have consulted the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa”
