Thousands of Black people, "Coloreds" or mixed-race people, and Indians took to the streets in South Africa this summer to protest so-called constitutional "reforms" to create separate Parliamentary chambers for Indians and Coloreds, in which they will have little or no power, while continuing to exclude South Africa's majority Black population from the electoral process. South Africa has secretly established a network of companies in Great Britain to provide support for the apartheid regime in the event of worldwide sanctions.
