analysis: The text appears to be a political speech or statement, focusing on the conflict in South Africa between the Inkatha and African National Congress (ANC) parties, with a specific emphasis on the alleged complicity of the South African police and government in the violence. The speaker is urging the international community to recognize the government's responsibility in the conflict and calling for a permanent judicial commission of inquiry to investigate the violence.
