**Analysis**
The text appears to be a statement from the South African government, addressing the issue of violence and efforts to control it, while also discussing the government's commitment to dismantling apartheid and promoting racial equality. The text does not mention economic development, natural resources, industry, transport, communication, international trade, health, education, employment, or humanitarian aid. The focus is on political and social issues, specifically the struggle against apartheid and the efforts to achieve racial equality.
