215 Keet, B.B. WHITHER, SOUTH AFRICA?; translated by N.J. Marquard. Stellenbosch: University Publishers, 1956.

96 p. Paper covered boards. R 300

Keet concludes that the matter of race relations should be lifted out of party politics and that all parties (including "non-whites") must share in talks to draft a plan that will meet with the approval of the majority of South Africans. The tendency to employ power politics with groups only concerned with their own interests, must make way for "joint deliberation in the interests of the whole". Keet's views are all the more interesting in that he was a respected NG Church figure and had led the team that translated the Bible into Afrikaans, and also proposed making Afrikaans the official language of the NG Church. In later years he sharply criticised apartheid. His long term vision has proved to be correct.
