**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the political context and ideology of the Apartheid regime in South Africa, specifically its attempts to maintain white minority domination through the concept of "Group Rights" and "Power Sharing". The text also touches on the theme of democracy and the struggle for a united, non-racial South Africa. Given the focus on politics and governance, it is likely that the text falls under the category of political or social issues.
