analysis: This text appears to be a collection of measures taken by the New Zealand government to impose economic sanctions on South Africa during the apartheid era. The measures include restrictions on imports, investment, tourism, and cultural exchange, as well as the withdrawal of diplomatic relations. Given the focus on economic and diplomatic sanctions, it is likely that the text is related to international relations and economic policy.
