Mr. Victor Tonjeni told NewAge that he had received threaten­ing anonymous letters after he hadappeared as a State witness in arecent case against an allegedmember of the banned AfricanNational Congress. He said hethought the attack had been madeby members of an undergroundmovement. He also said that afterthe explosion he saw a car driveoff at high speed.

YOUR SILENCE IS ASONG

(To those under House Arrest)

Here a thousand suns consume their own sweetness,Whereoranges are piled on bare hills to decay.Children, listless, with a dullness in the eyes,Dying, are cradled in the arms of your silence.

At a meeting in the city, women trill like birds,Men transform a slogan into the rush of a waterfall.A wave breaks over towers of glass and concrete,Ebbs back to break again from the sea of your silence.

Here clouds float down through water, merge with sand,Where a crane dumps its load of sugar in the sea.In towers of concrete and glass, administratorsPause, to ease from their shoulders the weight of your

silence.

You cannot trill like a bird or roar like a river- Your silence penetrates darknessas a seed.Now darkness feeds a foetus on its own flesh,Thrusts your silence into the world-a new-born child.

Cde C

Such lonely country-land of the sentinel aloe!Singing rises to this hill from huts in the valley.An eagle mounts,a spear pierces, a tear falls.Singing risesto the mouth from the heart of your silence.

EDITORIAL

RESPONSIBILITY for the riotingat Paarl which has shockedand horrified the whole country must be laid where it

belongs-at the door of the Government. whose apartheidpolicies ha e driven the Africanpeople to the point wheretheyfeel they can endure no more. "

Africansdo not normally march out of locations at 3 o'clockin the morning with an assorlmentof weapons in their handsand murder in their hearts. But in Paarl an extraordinary setof circumstances had clearly driven the people to desperation.

What are these circumstances? First and foremost the opera­tion of the pass laws, the endorsements out of town. thehoundingby police and officials, the breaking up of families ofwhichthe case of Mrs. Mapheele is only the most recent, if themost publicised because even two Supreme Court judges com­mentedon its basic injusticeand immorality.

Secondly there is the lack of proportion between the sexes inthe African population. At the time of the Langa riots, Mr.Justice Diemont found, there were 17,000 men but only 1,700women housed at Langa. If this sexual imbalance could be afactor leading to the Langa riots, there is everyreason to believeit also exists in Paarl and was a cause of the tension whichexplodedin the centre of the city last Wednesday night.

Thirdly there is the Eiselen Line policy, in terms of whichthe security of the whole African population in the WesternProvince is threatened. The Government hopes to limit theAfrican presence in this area to migratory labour only. Lastweek's riots are an indication of the dangers which can bcreated by that vicious and senseless ideological exercise.

On top of all is the fact that at no levelare the Africanseverconsulted about what is to happen to them. Nowhere do theytake part in the making of the laws which affect them. Eventhe Advisory Board system bas fallen into disuse. Resentmentat the growint~ mountain of restrictive legislation has beengrowing steadily among the people.

This is the background against which the riots must be seen.Last week's riot occurred in Paarl, but the same factors operatein every part of the Republic. and a spark can set off a confla­gration anywhere at any time. Cato Manor. Langa, Sharpeville,Port Elizabeth, East London. Johannesburg, Pretoria, Warm­baths, Durban-the history of our country is littered withbloody clashes which can only be regardedas the direct conse­quenceof the policy of White Domination. Wefeelwe are quitesafe in predicting that Paarl will not be the last of them.

There is only one solution to the problem, and that is toreplace government by coercion with government by consent.The Nationalist Government. however. has proclaimed that theBlackman is never to have rights in the White man's areas. Solong as this policy prevails, racial violence will never breliminated from the urban areas. On the contrary. it can only-:grow and intensify, for the African is no longer content to henothing but a hewer of wood and a drawer of water, but isdetermined to enjoy the same democratic rights and opportuni­ties as other citizens in the land of his birth.

The violent and tragic episode at PaarI is but one of manybloody milestones pointing along the road to the final catastro­phe bein~ prepared for South Africaby the vicious and inhumanpolicyof race discrimination.

L MAROJANE

Mandela AndSobukwe

Mass BoycottInspiring

Vorster Should GoTo Italy

Orlando.*

Mandela has to be highly con­gratulated on his growth. Hespoke in Court the same languageas Sobukwe did.

His travels up North must haveopened his eyes and ears andtherefore enhanced his stature.

It was a different Mandela thistime from the Mandela who saida few month s ago he could not,1W and. waste his time and sit injail like Sobukwe did. He said hechose a much more difficult job- that of an underground leader.

Then. he spoke as a lawyer;but now he was speaking as aleader who was not prepared todefend himself against an evil lawbut was ready to lay down his lifefor his people and principles.Bravo.

Now we have two great men injail. It h up to them to get to­gether. join hands, issue a jointstatement without worrying whoi'i bigacr or who's beaten who.And the whole South Africa willfollow the President and Premier.

To the Whites who are Irlght­enc d by Vorste r, we the oppressedpeople say, "We are naturally apeace-loving people and are nei­ther interested in being told whatto do witb our Whites in ' SouthAfrica nor are we prepared tolisten to whoever is trying to tellus what to do when freedom iswon."

If ·Mr. Vorster is prepared toinflict the venom of the SabotageAct on such a leader as HelenJoseph. tbis is a clear indicationthat he knows nothing of commu­nism or liberalism. He knows onlyabout Nazism. Before he createshostility between the Whites andthe 13 million Afr icans, I suggesthe run to Italy where he can be­come a self-styled ambassador,

But before he leaves. he shouldforget about the English press andinstead he and his Special Branch"boys" should read New Age andpolitical science so that they mayknow how to treat Mandela andthe many Whites who dedicatedthemselves to the liberation of ourMother Africa.

We the people shall win! Notin the never-never, but here andnow.

PAARL MASS ARRESTS I

CREATE NE,W TENSION

a Day of Harra l, All Indian busi­nesses closed and the Indian com­munity of this town and nearbyones flocked to the court.

Th is prosecution arises out ofthe Council decision to erect fourhouses in the Indian group area.As soon as the houses were ~p ,

notices to move into them wasserved on four Indians. One leftVentersdorp voluntarily , so thatleft three.

The group areas in this townwere proclaimed in 1958, when interms of the law disqualified per­sons continuing to live in a grouparea proclaimed for a group othertha n their own were given fiveyears to move out. The group areaproclamations, at the time theywere gazetted, were to come intoeffect in December 1963.

But in 1961 Parliament passedan amendment which enabled theperiod set by the first proclama­tion to be disregarded, and it gavethe Minister power to decidewhen people had to move fromany group area.

In June of this year notice wasserved on the three VentersdorpIndian families that they had toleave by the end of October. Theydid not do so, and within days ofthe expiry of the three-monthlimit, the police served summonson them to appear in court forhaving infringed the order ;

extreme urgency. 'There has beenenough protest about apartheid; itsavs. 'Unless immediate and effec­tive action is taken to halt thefngh tening consequences of thisevil. it will be too late."

The 10 days expire at the endof this week, but the three menhave noted an appeal.

The three are Dr. Motala , whostudied in Pakistan for 7 yearsand has been in practice in Ven­tersdorp for three years; andMessrs Luckoo and Arncdjee.

The Committee observes thatthe deepening tensions can lead totwo possible alternatives :-I. Violence and armed rebellion,

once it is clear that peacefuladjustments are no longer pos­Sl ble. As the persecution hasbeen inflicted by one racia lgroup upon all other racialgroups, large-scale violencewould take the form of a racialwar.

2. Tra nsition to a society basedupon equality for all withoutregard to colour.

to refuse to carry product,from South Africa;

2. Organise public meetings toprotest against apartheid inSouth Africa;

3. Organise picket demonstrations,marches or silent vigils;

4. Raise funds for the AfricanDefence and Aid Fund.

The Committee is convincedthat the apartheid Republic is areality today only because thepeoples and governments of theworld have been unwilling toplace South Africa in quarantine.

morning that they learnt the fullstory of the riot.

P.A.C. POLI CY

Some of the people questionedby New Age pointed out tha t theattack on the town was in keepingwith the banned PAC's policy of'carr ying the fight into the Whiteareas.'

This, they said, was the PAC'sanswer to the sort of situationwhich has developed in past r iots,where the violence has been con­fined to the locations and thepeople have been shot down bypolice far from the sight and con­science of the Whites.

Recently a number of Africanfarm labourers were sentenced inStellenbosch for attempted mur­der. Evidence was given that, act­ing on the instructions of threePoqo men from Cape Town, theyhad sharpened car springs aspangas in preparation for an at­tempt to murder the farm forema nand his family, set fire to the farmbuildings and then march onStellenbosch, setting fire to build­ings on the way.

FEAR AND SUSPICIONMeanwhile in Mbekweni loca­

tion the people are full of fearand suspicion. Th ey are afraid ofPoqo, which has used violenceagainst them in the past. They areafra id of the police, who are usingviolence against them now.

Nothing has been settled by tberiot. All the elements making fortension and insecurity remain, TheGovernment's intensification of itsEisclen line policies, far from im­proving tbe situation, can onlyaggravate the desperat e mood ofthe people, harried by laws andlawlessness to such an extent thatthey literally don't know whichway to turn in their quest forpeace and security.

T HE America n Committeeon Africa is appealing to

all men of goodwill to takeaction against South, Africa byobserving Huma n Rights Day,December 10. Sonth Africa,the committee believes, can besaved by the conscience of theworld tra nslated into princi­pled action.

The Committee notes thatamong many other inhuman prac­tices of the Republic of SouthAfrica, apartheid means that Non­whites may not work, live or travelwhere they please-much less voteor have any say whatsoever in themass of legislation which concernsthem. The South African Govern­ment banned the ANC and thePAC, the principal protest organi­sations, and jailed their leaders;coerced the press into strict pro­Government censorship, making it

'--' a lmost impossible for anti-apart­heid publications to exist; estab­lished all arms factory and createdan extensive white civilian militia,It has activated total racial physi­cal separation. It has legally de­fined protest against apar theid asan act of "sa botage'<v-an offenceultimately punishable by death.

alleged to have attacked the cen­tral police station in the heart ofPaarl in an attempt to rescue theseven arrested men.

The poiice in the stationopened fire after the group beganstoning the building and five Afri­cans were shot dead.

The group retreated to neigh­bour ing streets, burning shops andsmashing plate-glass windows.

Residents ' of the location toldNew Age that most of the peoplewere completely unaware of wbathad happened and thought tbatthe first police raid was a "routineone."

Police questio ns, they said, gavethem an idea that there had beentrouble and it was only later that

"U Communists fail to recognise the outwardlystrong but inwardly brittle nature of imperialism andreact ionaries of the various countries, are awed bythe temporary power of the enemy and overestimatethe strength of the enemy, they will show vacillationin struggles and dare not win victory that can bewon.

"T he Right-oppor tunists, that is, the revisionists,grossly exaggerate the strength of the enemy amongthe masses of the people and underrate the greatrole of the masses of the people in struggles.

"Th is will only increase the arrogance of imperial­ism and the reactionaries of the various countriesand break the revolutionary struggle of the masses.

R ED FLAG. the Chinese Communist Party'stheoretical journal, recently underli ned

America's role as "the centre of world reac­tion," and accused "modern revisionists" ofbeing "scared stiff."

The journal's editorial said in part: "The Moscow81-Party statement, proceeding from a situation ofworld-wide class struggle, pointed out that imperial­Ism and its loyal lackeys in various countries areenemies of the peoples of the world.

"U.S. imperialism is the centre of world reaction,the biggest international exploiter, the ferocious in­ternation al gendarme and the common enemy of thepeoples of the world.

"They hold that when imperialism still exists andwhen the systems of exploitation and oppression stillexist it is possible to eliminate war and eliminatearms throughout the world.

U.S. 'is becoming morearrogant'

-says Peking PeopLe's DailyA N editorial in the People's Daily in Peking

said last week that since the withdrawal ofmissiles by the Soviet Union from Coba, U.S.imperia lism had become so increasingly arro­gant and aggressive that it would stop atnothing in tram pling upon Cuban sovereignty.

Tito and his like, lackeys of U.S. imperial­ism, had tried, by hook or by crook, to bringpressure to bear on the Cuban people and toforce them to accept terms which impairedtheir rights and sovereignty, so as to meet theinsatiable aggressive demands of U.S. imper ial­ism, the editorial said.

The present tension in the Caribbean had not beentruly eased despite the withdrawal of the so-called"offensive" weapons from Cuba in accordance withthe demand of the U.S.

"The grave threat of U.S. aggression against Cubastill persists, THE CLAI M THAT 'PEACE HASBEEN SAVED' IS PURE NONSENSE.

Decisive Factor

VIEW POINTS: Different

Assessments of the WorldSituation

F IVE lessons are drawn from Ute Cuba crisisin a major article in Pravda last week.

The art icle is by Boris Ponomaryov, a secre­tary of the Centra l Committee of the SovietCommuni st Party. He says:

The recent U.S. elections, remarks Ponornaryov,showed that more and more Americans rejectedMcf'arth yisrn at home and the Dulles line in foreignpolicy.

their existence on account of the criminal actions ofAmerican militarists."

Ponomaryov remarked: "Th is will undoubtedlybe reflected in a stepping up of the struggle by anti­war and patriotic forces for abolishing U.S. andNato war bases."

5 The countries liberated from colonialism played"a considerable role" in condemning American

actions and supporting the rights of Cuba.This was pract ical proof that joint action by the

liberated count ries and Socialist States against thewar threat was " the greatest factor for world peace."

The outcome of the crisis, Ponomaryov says, fully,confirmed the view put forward five years ago at theMoscow conference of Communists and Workers'Parties that the Socialist and anti-imperialist forceswere now the decisive factor in shaping history.

A third wor ld war could be averted by the unitedaction of the forces of the Socialist countries, andthe working class, liberation and world peace move­ments.

Looking back over Communist advances in thepast five years, Ponomaryov noted that the SovietUnion had now surpassed the United States in pro­duction of coal. coke, machine tools, tractors, cement,milk and animal fats.

"The time j ,\ not far off when the Soviet Unionwill leave the U.S. behind in all economic indices.

"Of great importance is the fact that the SovietUnion has securely taken first place in the world inthe decisive branches of science and technology."

Since 1957 25 countries had won national indepen­dence and in the capitalist countries class struggleshad grown increasingly "harp.

ZOL

JOH ANNESB URG.THE Zola Residents' Asso-

In a statement announcing thedecision, the Residents' Associa­tion says that nothing has beenachieved by the African peoplethrough the Advisory Board sys­tem. The purely advisory status ofthe Boards make it impossible forthem to tackle issues such 3S rentraids and arrests, ethnic groupingor the housing shortage.

Rejecting the argument that theAdvisory Boards can be used to'fight from within', the statementclaims that Board members canonly conform to the pattern laiddown by the government and "onecannot fight one's boss."

near NEBO, T RANSVAAL.THE Bantu Affairs Department is mooing a siege against a little Bakopa comm ity of 200

families, that was moved from its lands, du mped amidst dry, thorny tree country withoutwater or ploughs and was told last week 'Noth ing from the Government-till you accept BantuAuthorities.'

The Bakopa moved in Februaryof this year, from Maleenskop toTafelkop, near Nebo, They werepromised a Canaan. They werepromised compensation for theirland, their houses, their life inwhat the government called a'black spot.' They were given gov­ernment tents to live in.

That was nine months ago.STILL AS THEY WERE

The Bakopa are still in thetents (wet and mud-soaked fromthe rain; families sleeping andIrving in the damp). They havenot been paid une penny of com­pensation. They have received nohelp with building material fornew homes (except fur poleswhich, to their surprise , they hadto buy from the government).They have not ploughed; theyhave no plough. The llrst wellwas dug last week.

Maleen skop, the people say,was fertile. They had begun tohoe when they were moved. TheChief said no family moved withmore than four bags of mealiemeal, left over from the previousyear. When the Bakopa reached

Tafelkop , the ploughing season wasover.

This was to be their new pro­mised land, but it is a place, th epeople say, of helI and drynessand starvation. There bas beenneither belp nor beari~ from theGovernment that took the Bakopapeople to this place.

So the tribe invited the secre­tary for Bantu Affairs, Dr. Eise­len, to attend their meeting andexplain. Dr. Eiselen did not come.10 his place came the Bantu Af­fairs Commissioner from Nebo.

ULTIMATUMHe spoke for hours, and there

was no mistaking that he con­veyed an ultimatum, fiat and final.The Bak op a could have engineersand surveyors working for them;wells, budges and boreholes;another 5,OUO morgen of land;tracto rs. But first-and withoutthis, no wells or tractors or gov­ernment aid of any kind-theymust set up a Committee, a BantuAuthority, in other words.

Gag on Dr. Spiegel From the Central African Federation

Dunda Sitmhe?

DR. Hastings Kamuzu Banda, leader of the Malawi Congress.announced in London last week that a timetable for Nyasa­

land's independence had been agreed upon at a conferencebetween himself and Mr. R. A. Butler. British Minister forCentral Africa. Smiling, and happy with the outcome of theconference, Dr. Banda said: 'Nyasaland is a Black man'scountry on a Black man's continent and we Africans are in amajority and in that case we must rule.'

Dr. Banda was accompanied on his mission to London by Mr. C.Chirwa, Deputy Minister of Justice, and Mr. S. Sacranie, constitutionaladviser.

At the conference agreement was reached on a new constitution. tocome into effect in 1963, which will transfer power from the hands ofthe Colonial Office and white settlers to Dr. Banda's Malawi Party. Dr.Randa, at present Minister of Natural Resources and Local Government,will become the first Prime Minister of independent Malawi.

• Although in complete contrast to previous conferences Dr. Banda B ·NDA:said nothing at all about Malawi's secession from the hated CentralAfrican Federation, it is reported in London that a behind-the-scenes

Mr. Nkomo asserts that thespirit of ZAPU is still very muchalive, despite the ban. and de­mands that the British Govern­ment convene another conferenceto decide on a constitution that willgive democratic rights to the peo­ple of Zimbabwe, The new con­stitu tion discriminates againstAfricans by allowing them only 15seats in a 45-seat legislature.

Nk umbula' s price for co-operation is high: it includes making vitalconcessions- to neo-colonialism and weakening UNIP 's stand againstFederation. The demand for African unity and an African Governmentis very powerful-but the vast majority of African people under theleadership of Kaunda and UNIP cannot be expected to sacrifice theiresse nt ial aims for a unity against their interests. Although the present'dog's breakfast' constitution has been given every chance by theAfrican people it is so de arly undemocratic that it will have to bescrapped.

the vote as "a plot by the neutra­lists to undermine our defencepolicy." Since then the Parliamen­tary Commission has met a fewtimes, and taken as long as possibh,about cooking up a revised reporton the bribery case.

But just as the story of themillion-pound bribe was slowlybecoming covered by the sand­drifts of history, the news magazine"Spiegel" leaped into the frayagain in late September withanother well-documented article onthe swamp of corrup tion surround­ing Defence Minister Strauss. OnSeptember 26th the magazine madethe following charges :

• Dr. Aloys Brandcnstein,adoptive uncle of Strauss's wife,utilised this relationship in orderto advance, in the course of fiveyears; from 11- bankrupt to a multi­millionaire. Although he had noexperience in the branch, Dr.Brandenstein, because of his fami­ly links. received enormous Run­deswehr orders for tank treads.

Drinking Pal• Dr. Peter D eeg, a drinking

companion of Herr Strauss. and alawyer with no connections withthe arms trade, sold to theBundeswehr 25 million marksworth of artillery shells. Onceagain, his only qualification for thebusiness was his link with MinisterStrauss.

Strauss himself recently ne­gotiated for the purchase 'of acountry house in Switzerland cost­ing about £150,000, althoughneither he nor his wife have legallyacquired private fortunes amount­ing to anything like this sum. Themagazine suggested that purchasesof this size could only be madewith ill-gotten gains.

Political observers in Bonn notedthat Strauss made no attempt tofile libel charges against the maga­zine, although he generally rushesto law at the drop of a hat. Inan obvious attempt to provokeHerr Strauss into taking action."Spiegel" repeated its charges ineven more definite terms onOctober 3rd.

West German police swooped on "Ocr Spiegel" in Hamburgin the night of October 26, seizing the officesand arresting thepublisher and main editors.

Well-informed quarters in Bonnstated that Strauss had personallysupervised police preparations forthe blow at the magazine.

The official reason for the raidwas suspicion that top membersof the magazine staff had had beenguilty of "treaso n" in the form ofpublishing military secrets and alsoof bribery. Nobody in West Ger-

Under the Bed

.F RANZ Josef Strauss, WestGermany's hard-work­

ing and high-rivingMin·stcr of'Defence, feels these days thathe is rather hard-done-by.

He was just recoveringfrom revelations made earlythis year that he had been

"-.--mixed up in a bribery scandalwhich would have netted himabout £1,000,000 if it hadcome off, when a West Ger­man news magazine publisheddetails of another big moneycorruption case implicating hiswife and his political friends.

Herr Strauss's first scandal brokeon January 3Ist, when "Spiegel",West Germany's most influentialnews magazine. published photo­stats and sworn depositions show­ing that Strauss had personallywritten letters of recommendationto US Secretary of Defence urgingthe award of a vast building con­tract to a fly-by-night firm foundedby a group of his intimate friends.

Strauss was in line to get 25%of the profits, estimated at some£4.000,000, the news magazine re­ported.

A special whitewashing commis­. sion of the West German Parlia­ment was established to investigate

<; ~~nth~riofUtnv~~.i::ti~n. ~~~kedfib~a curious number of witnesses whocould not remember anything whenthey got on the stand, the commis­sion submitted a report to Parlia­ment stating timidly that Strausshad been "unwise" to get mixed upin the affairs of the phoney build­ing firm.

This report was too much evenfor the usually disciplined Bonnassembly. and the coalition FreeDemocrat') joined with the opposi­tion Social Democrats in rejectingthe report , and telling the commis­sion to re-examine the evidence.
