The Friday Conference - Abraham Ordia interview
Television (Full Length) – 1976
You ask anybody outside this country...which is the greatest pro-apartheid country? He will not hesitate to tell you it is New Zealand.– Abraham Ordia
The rest is now history: the opening of the Montreal Olympics took place without athletes from 28 nations. They carried out the biggest sporting boycott in history because their officials and governments disagreed with the official policy of New Zealand.– Gordon Dryden, in his 1978 book Out of the Red
