 Although in the speech Macmillan addressed British notions of apartheid, the fact that the address was officially made in South Africa left media outlets in Britain to question whether there would be any sort of immediate change in policy.Alongside the issue of apartheid, the process of decolonisation as indicated by Macmillan greatly challenged sentiments of British imperialism and brought forth questions as for the legitimacy and responsibilities of colonial powers abroad.Many felt that countries like Ghana, which were among the first to be relinquished from British rule, were only decolonised so quickly due to a lack of economic assets or British settlers.
