Chapter Sixty Eight
"I'm officially instituting a moratorium on all stock and bond trading, all banking activity for the next ten business days."

-PW Botha (1981)

"If we did not become so dependent on Britain-or any NATO power-we would not have been forced almost to economic collapse because some foreign banks can't grand us the same loans they used to."

-Jaap Marais (1981)

"The popularity of the Herstigte Nasionale [Party] has risen by eleven points in the aftermath of the moratorium, while the popularity of the Progressive Federal's have risen by seven points."

-Peter Jennings (1981)
