| | Speaking to Africa Watch on January 27, 1993, Gavin Woods, Executive Director of the Inkatha Institute, stated that he had not heard specific refutations of the ANC's allegations and that the ANC might therefore perhaps be given "the benefit of the doubt" regarding allegations of police misbehavior in Esikhawini. | | | Central to the politics of KwaZulu, and of national importance in South Africa, is the ruling party in the homeland, the Inkatha Freedom Party (the IFP, or, simply, Inkatha). | | | However, as the scandal developed, the government was forced to admit payments to other conservative groups both inside and outside South Africa, including the Inkatha union UWUSA (described by one internal police document as "a project under the control of the South African police"). |

| | In his discussions with Jewish intellectuals in South Africa, there was much talk of the problems posed by unrepresented aliens within nation states or within the empire, who felt that they had split loyalties between their own people and their perceived place within the modern world. | | | Early on during his stay in South Africa, Gandhi began to draw comparisons with the Jewish experience, and considered that Jews were “soulmates in suffering” with Indians. | | | Yusuf Dadoo, a prominent member of the Communist Party of South Africa, emerged as a particularly powerful example of a South African Indian radical, who, influenced by Gandhi (this was somewhat ironic, given Gandhi’s own deep dislike of socialist and communist ideology) and the Indian nationalist movement, expressed strong ties with the ‘homeland’. |

| | In 1953, the Public Safety Act and the Criminal Law Amendment Act were passed, which empowered the government to declare stringent states of emergency and increased penalties for protesting against or supporting the repeal of a law. | | | The homeland administrations refused the nominal independence, maintaining pressure for political rights within the country as a whole. | | | In 1951, the Bantu Authorities Act established a basis for ethnic government in African reserves, known as ``homelands.'' These homelands were independent states to which each African was assigned by the government according to the record of origin (which was frequently inaccurate). |
