The South African Institute of Race Relations (SAIRR) says that during the last decade of the struggle in South Africa, the African National Congress (ANC) wanted hegemony over the country.
 
SAIRR head of policy research, Dr Anthea Jeffery, point out that the ANC has always depicted its liberation struggle as a just war, fought by just means.
 
Jeffery adds that the underlying aim of the ANC is not only to rob the National Party government of its will to rule but also to weaken and destroy its black political rivals, adding that: “It also helps explain why the great majority of the victims of the people’s war were black rather than the white South Africans.”
