The apartheid monitored and hindered all movement of its black population and therefore was not very welcoming to Africans from elsewhere. Between 1913 and 1986, black people could only enter South Africa illegally or as contract workers as they were not allowed to apply for temporary or permanent resident permits (Maharaj, 4).

The similarities between both the speeches were many too. Both the speeches have many metaphors in them like ‘A promissory note, a bad check’ in MLK’s speech and ‘As intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful country as are the famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld.’ in Mandela’s speech. The metaphors that are…
