The leaflet describes the South African government-created bantustans or so-called "homelands" as labor reserves where Africans would be confined to 13% of the least valuable land. Four of the ten bantustans have received so-called "independence"; the African National Congress (ANC) calls for their reincorporation into a united, democratic South Africa.

It asks people to write F.W. de Klerk and Ambassador Harry Schwarz and protest the continued existence of the bantustan system.

It asks people to write F.W. de Klerk and Ambassador Harry Schwarz and protest the continued existence of the bantustan system. It also asks people to write President George Bush and members of Congress and argue that, because the bantustan system denies citizenship and other basic human rights to Africans, sanctions on South Africa should be reimposed and to issue a strong statements of protest to the De Klerk government. The leaflet discusses recent human rights abuses in two of South Africa's bantustans - Ciskei and Bophuthatswana. The leaflet includes a quote by Mathew Phosa.
