Indeed, the Council has been confronted with the problem of aparzheid in South Africa. Those three problems are the problems of our region of southern Africa. They are responsible for the absence of peace and security in the region and for the tension and turmoil that prevail. 26. In reality, the main problem of our region is apart- heid. It is in defence of apartheid that South Africa relent- lessly commits acts of aggression against, and destabili- xation of, independent countries in the region. It is in defence of apartheid that South Africa persists in its refusal to yield to the demands of the Namibian people for free- dom and independence. 27. The scourge of apartheid is therefore the heart and soul of the ,problems of southern Africa. Beyond any action that the Council may take in this specific case of the aggression against Angola, it is important that there be proper and adequate focus on the need urgently to take effective measures for the eradication of the evil system of apartheid in order to establish conditions of durable peace and security in southern Africa. Now is the time for the Council to act decisively, particularly in the light of the grave situation in South Africa. 28. In his report’ to the General Assembly on the occa- sion of the fortieth anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations, the Secretary-General has suggested that the Security Council should, in the near future, make a deliberate and concerted effort to solve one or two of the major problems before it by making fuller use of the meas- ures available to it under the Charter of the United Nations. Zambia fully agrees, and ventures to suggest that apartheid be one such problem for action by the Council. 
**Analysis**
The text discusses the problem of apartheid in South Africa and its impact on the region, highlighting its connection to peace, security, and the demands of the Namibian people for freedom and independence. The text also mentions the Secretary-General's suggestion for the Security Council to tackle one or two major problems, including apartheid. This suggests that the category should be related to international relations, politics, and human rights.
