"As a result, ways out of the crisis are being intensively searched for at all levels - ways, which, however, aim at maintaining the whites' control over the country"

This quote by Joe Slovo talks to the political and social crisis in South Africa during the apartheid age. Slovo is highlighting the reality that the white minority was actively searching for methods to maintain their control over the country, in spite of the crisis. This quote talks to the power dynamics of the time, where the white minority was in control and actively searching for methods to keep their power. It also speaks with the lack of power and firm of the majority of the population, who were not included in the decision-making process. Slovo's quote is a reminder of the overbearing nature of the apartheid routine and the lengths to which the white minority wanted to go to maintain their power.
