He believes it was the proclamation of the republic in 1961 that led Joe Slovo, as well as Nelson Mandela, to embrace the urban terrorism that was known as \u201carmed struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;The Afrikaner people are clearly under attack from all sides: from blacks who resent them, from English-speakers who envy and despise them, and from the larger white world that will never forgive them for taking the measures they found necessary to build a European society in Africa. Their stark numerical disadvantage\u2013they are perhaps 5 percent of South Africa\u2019s population\u2013means the stakes are higher and the crisis sharper for them than for other European peoples.
