The best example of Logos is in this line:

*
"Pass laws, which to the Africans are among the most hated bits of legislation in South Africa, render any African liable to police surveillance at any time... Hundreds and thousands of Africans are thrown into jail each year under pass laws.
"I am a convicted prisoner serving five years for leaving the country without a permit and for inciting people to go on strike at the end of May 1961…."
“When anything has to be carried or cleaned the white man will look around for an African to do it for him, whether the African is employed by him or not.”
"They do not look upon them as people with families of their own; they do not realize that they have emotions - that they fall in love like white people do; that they want to be with their wives and children like white people want to be with theirs..."

The best example of Logos in this passage is the presentation of facts and statistics regarding the oppressive pass laws in South Africa and the harsh treatment of African individuals. This appeal to logic and reason helps to support the writer's argument about the injustices faced by Africans in the country.
