TER INLIGTING / FOR INFORMATION
The hon. Member for Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley made a number of significant points, dwelling to some extent upon the issue of the readmission of South Africa. When one considers the extent to which South Africa dominated Commonwealth affairs from 31 May 1961, when Mr. Verwoerd took it out, until 1 June 1994, when Mr. Mandela brought it back in, it is right to look at the Commonwealth to some extent through the eyes of South Africa as a rejoined member. That is especially relevant when one considers that Her Majesty the Queen is about to embark on what is justifiably described as an historic visit to South Africa, although it is her second visit.
What will South Africa be looking for as she returns to the Commonwealth? There is an obvious answer, and Mr. Mandela has been totally frank about it. The South African Government will be looking for the advantages of trade, commercial opportunity and aid. Some telling points have already been made in the debate about.
One matter is a puzzle. I have frequently asked myself this question. What would have happened to the Commonwealth if apartheid had not been carried out in South Africa, and if that country had not left the commonwealth.

Die agbare lid vir Carrick, Cumnock en Doon Valley het ‘n aantal belangrike punte geopper en tot ‘n mate stilgestaan by die kwessie van Suid-Afrika se hertoelating. As ‘n mens in ag neem in watter mate Suid-Afrika die sake van die Statebond oorheers het vanaf 31 Mei 1961 – toe mnr. Verwoerd die land daaraan onttrek het – tot 1 Junie 1994 – toe mnr. Mandela dit weer laat toetree het – is dit gepas om die Statebond tot ‘n mate deur die oë van Suid-Afrika as ‘n hernieude lid te beskou. Dit is veral relevant as ‘n mens in ag neem dat Haar Majesteit die Koningin op die punt staan om ‘n besoek aan Suid-Afrika af te lê wat tereg as histories beskryf word, al is dit haar tweede besoek.
Wat sal Suid-Afrika soek wanneer hy na die Statebond terugkeer? Daar is ‘n voor-die-hand-liggende antwoord, en mnr. Mandela was heeltemal openhartig daaroor. Die Suid-Afrikaanse regering sal streef na die voordele van handel, kommersiële geleenthede en bystand. Verskeie treffende punte is reeds in die debat hieroor gemaak.
Een saak is ‘n raaisel. Ek het myself dikwels hierdie vraag afgevra: Wat sou met die Statebond gebeur het as apartheid nie in Suid-Afrika toegepas was nie, en as daardie land nie die Statebond verlaat het nie?
