The speech was reprinted by David G Mailu for the Sunday Times, a South African newspaper in 1985.
Botha’s speech reads in part:
“We are not obliged even the least to try to prove to anybody and to the blacks that we are superior people. We have demonstrated that in 1001 ways. If God had wanted us to be superior to the blacks, he would have created us all of a uniform colour and intellect.
“I believe that the Afrikaner is honest, God fearing person, who has demonstrated practically the right way of being.
“By now every one of us has seen it practically that the Blacks cannot rule themselves. Give them guns and they will kill each other.
“They are good in nothing else but making noise, dancing, marrying many wives and indulging in sex. Let us all accept that the Blackman is a symbol of poverty, mental inferiority, laziness and emotional incompetence.”
