State of Emergency still in force in Natal Province. A lot of material has surfaced in many reports coming out of South Africa of continued detentions and continued ill-treatment of prisoners. I could go on and on about how the South African Government has not fulfilled the conditions set by the international community for creating a climate for peaceful negotiations, but there is really no need for that now. Both the report of the Secretary-General and the report of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) Monitoring Group, which have been referred to this morning, make the fact of South African non-compliance manifestly clear. Racist police remain in the townships of Natal and in the bantustans. The State of Emergency continues to exist in Natal, and 64 political prisoners still' remain on death row. Although in some cases the African National Congress of South Africa (ANC) has asked the police to take firm action to stop the violence, the evidence is quite clear that no such measures have been taken. As recently as yesterday Mr. Mandela was making a last-minute appeal to De Klerk based on the fact that the violence in the townships must be stopped. Otherwise, he thought that the whole peace process could be threatened. Certainly, in Kampala last Saturday he told us that he could not continue telling his people to refrain from violence and suspend the armed struggle if his people are continually under attack from vigilante groups that are emerging from many corners. We are also profoundly disturbed that, in addition to this evident lack of progress in creating a good climate for negotiations, the South African Government RM/10 À/44/PV.97 32 (Mr. Shamuyarira, Zimbabwe) has failed to embrace unequivocally the fundamental principles for a new constitutional order in the country that were identified by the United Nations 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the political situation in South Africa, specifically the state of emergency, detentions, and human rights abuses. It also mentions the peace process and negotiations between the government and the African National Congress (ANC). The tone is critical of the South African government's lack of progress in creating a conducive environment for negotiations. Given the focus on political issues, it is likely that the text is related to a category that deals with human rights, governance, or international relations.
