Racists/White supremacists, apartheid officials and generals considered Prof.
Robert Sobukwe a great danger to the apartheid state than ANC leaders like Chief Albert Luthuli and Nelson Mandela. In 1964, he was offered a job by the NAACP in the U.S, but Vorster feared his outside influence so much that he was denied the right to leave the country.
In 1970, he was offered a teaching post at the University of Wisconsin in the U.S, but again the apartheid regime refused to offer him a visa to leave the country. He is remembered for his famous quote: "We aim, politically, at government of the Africans by the Africans for Africans, with everybody who owes his only loyalty to Africa and who is prepared to accept the democratic rule of an African majority being regarded as an African."
