EULALIE STOTTChairman. Black Sash.

(The Black Sash does not admitAfricans Or Communists to mern­bership, How then can it claim

to fight discrimination?-Ed.)

EDITORIAL

we must welcome those whoseideologies must ultimately be des­tructive of our central aim.

The Black Sash in its efforts towork for justice for all SouthAfricans has categoricallv re jecteddiscrimination on arounds of race.colour or creed and as one aspectof its work has tried hard to bringabout a change in the attitudes ofmind of Nationa' ists and otherSouth Africans who are governedby prejudice. We have naturallyhoned that we would have beenable to persuade some such peonleto realise the injustices perpetratedby the Government and conse­auentlv to want to jo in the BlackSash. t ong ago one or two Na­tionalist supporters did join buthad left the Nationalist fold bythe time they decided to join theBlack Sash.

The implication of your lasttwo paragraph s therefore standsrefuted by the facts-viz. that noknown member of the NationalistParty has applied for Black Sashmembership. Were they to apply'their application for membershipwould naturally also be given care­ful consideration.

My plea that fellow members

~E Group Areas Amendment Bill at present being discussedin Parliament gives the Government the power to establish

"consultative" and "management committees" and local authori­ties for Non-Whites in "their own areas." The Bill, and thedebate on it in the Assembly, also make it clear that when theseconsultative and management committees and local authoritiesare functioning, the Non-White people in the Cape will bedeprived of the municipal franchise, which they at present exer­cise on an equal basis with the Whites.

The Government's intention is plain: it is to complete thesegregation of the Coloured people from the Whites, to poshthem aside into separate ghettoes, and to prevent them fromhaving any say in the major law-making bodies of the country.Neither in Parliament nor in the City Council will the Colouredman be allowed to enjoy any rights at all.

The Government claims that in return for this. the Colouredpeople will be given full rights in their own areas. They will runtheir own municinalities and be in full charge of their owncommunal affairs. There will be Coloured mayors and inspectorsof education, Coloured city engineers and Coloured chairmen ofplans committees. This, says the Government. will open uptremendous opportunities for the Coloured people which do notexist at the moment, for the present set-uo. while theoreticallynon-racial, in fact imposes the harshest discrimination against theNon-Whites.

Apart from stooges hun1ing for soft jobs and extra pav, theGovernment's plans will find no support amongst the Non-Whitepeople. The so-called "manllgement committees" etc. will be tothe Coloured peonle what Bantu Authorities are to the African!i­mere vehicles for the enforcement of the apartheid laws, TheColoured people will still have no sav in the making of thoselaws; they will merely be entrusted with their administration.

Coloured educ-ation, separate universities, groun areas, popu­lation reaistration, iob reservation. the immoralitv and mixedmarriazes acts- in all these snheres the Coloured people will stillbe subject to the White man's dictates.

The anarthei.l road does not lead to freedom and self-respectfor the NO'I'I -White people. but to perpetual inferiority andsubjection. In the case of the Coloured people this now becomeseven more glarinclv obvious than it is in the case of the Africans.For there is no terri tory like the Trxnskei in which the Colouredpeople can be promised. however fulselv, eventual "self-govern­ment and independence." Their future is inextricably bound upwith the Whites

Thus the onlv course nossible for the Coloured people is toreject with contemnt the Government's humiliating proposals andto inteusifv their ~tru2~le for equal rights for all in an intearatedSouth Africa which -can now be seen to be the only realisticalternative to apartheid.

At last it appears as if thearanite wall of Verwoerd's apart­heid is cracking. He is trying toapoease the world with his &0­called 'indeoendence' for theTranskei. but he is bluffing onlyhimself. The wer ld is at last learn­ing the real meaning of his poli­cies which have so far isolatedSouth Africa f rom the civilisedworld: the policies which havebrought nothing but death, sor­rows and suffering.

1962 should be the decisive year.Let us unite and crush the enemyof mankind- Apartheid. In thebattle for life let us not be drivenlike cattle, but let us be heroes inthe struggle for our inalienablerights, for ours is a just and noblecause which no man can oppose.

Let 1962 Be ADecisive Year

It is probable tha t 'there are fewworse characters than Haile Selas­sie still to be found . There isFranco, and Tshombe, and Sala­zar. and Verwoerd, and Kai-shek,and .. . and then we have to startthinking.

"Embodiment of patriotism"INDEED! (New Age, 22.2.62.)

So what if he did make an "un­surpassed analysis" (at thePAFM:ECA conference). Selassieshould know what Africa needs.After all his country needs neaceand democracy as much if notmore than any other territory inAfrica. And he alone is respon­sible . It is this "Em peror" whoforcibly extracts "tribute" fromthe Impoverished Ethiopians as ifhe was some feudal lord.

Why, the verv title he paradesunder reveals the nature of theperson.

Probably your correspondentTennyson Makiwane took Selas­sie's censorship laws into account.but you did not have to print thisnonsense.

Have we forgotten the brutalreizn of terror this "pa triot" letloose azainst those who sought tointroduce some democratic con­tent into Ethiopia a bare 24months ago? The public hanzings?The kisQin!! of his feet by those he"spared" ? UGH!

E. A. GAUTE

We regret that in your report ofthe Black Sash's rejection of Mrs.S. Bunting as a member youshould wrongly have inferred andimnlied that Nationalists Werewelcome as members of the Sash.We are as implacably oppos ed tototalitarianism of the rieht as tototalitarianism of the left.

While it is obviously difficult toassess to what extent oppositionpolitical groups, were they inpower, would be willing to grantrights and liberties to all, includ­ing those in opposition to them,there can be no doubt at all thatprominent members of the Na­tionalist Party supporting as theydo Pass Laws. Job Reservation,etc. etc. etc. definitely DO NOTUPHOLD ANY RIGHTS butthose of the white section. Therecould therefore be no question atall of people. while associatedwith the Nationalist Party, beingallowed to be members of theBlack Sash. In rejecting Mrs. Bun­ting as a member we were not"d oing Verwoerd's work." He banspeople from advocating their pointof view. We object to his banningof individuals and organisations,but do not consider this means

Evils of the InfluxControl

As a town bordering on thefarms, G rahamstown is in a moreinvidious position than thosetowns bordering on the reserves.You have only to go to the localregistration and labour bureaux tosee some of the heartbreakingcases of Africans who left thetown some time ago to work onthe farms. Now that the area isexperiencing a severe drought.these workers have been dismissedand are flocking back to town toseek other work. But influx con­trol and the pass laws keep themout. Thcv go to the labour bu­reaux, magistrate's court, theBantu Commissioner's office or theNon-European Affairs Depart­ment, all in the hope of beinghelped. But these people cannothelp them as the laws cannot bebroken.

Up to this day the emergencyis still on and the arrests continueunabated. These Governmentchiefs are bursting with powersiust like Hitler durinz the fortiesbut where did he end? RememberNuremberg.

Today we hear that we havebeen granted self-rule. What non­sense. We first demand the liftingof the emergency regulations sothat We can express our feelingsfreely. We demand the uncondi­tional scranning of the Bantu Au­thor ities. We demand that all theneople's leaders be brought backfrom exile unconditionally.

We shrink when we hear ofthese idiotical monsters the chiefsbecoming Prime Ministers andMinisters. The oeople will vote fortheir Prime Minister if they aresatisfied with the constitution.

EVERYBODY is aware of whattook place here in Pondoland

prior to the declaration of a stateof emergency in the whole of theTranskei in December 1960. Whenthe departmental commission ofinquiry appointed bv the Govern­ment made known its findings inOctober 1960. the chairman didnot hide the fact that Bantu Au­thorities had not been properlyexplained to U5. which was admit­t ine that our grievances were justi­fied.

With the same breath the chair­man told the thousands of tribes­men assembled there to go homein peace and discuss the findings.Thev must not rush because re­commendations made to the Gov­ernment might be made known intwo or three months time.

Our spokesmen made the nointthat there should be no violenceat all. We went home in peaceWhat followed next? The chiefsdeclared war on the unsuspectingand peaceful neople of the Trans­kei by harass ing and intimidatingthem with firearms.

Mr. Nkwili of Mzi7e locationwas shot through the hand whilefleeing away from the terror of thezun-carryinc tvrant, He reportedto the authorities. but nothing wasdone except that he was servedwith a deno rtat ion order by thesame chief Gciningwe Mzize.

C hief Stanford Mzize was alsodoing the same. hunting thepeople like rabbits. Everyoneknows what happened to thatstooge when the people's angerboiled over. Chief VukayibambeSigcau was doing the same atNgqindilili hill in broad daylightwhen a couple of tribesmen wereshof dead. Again the people'sanger boiled over with disastrouseffects.

The Government refused tolisten to our pleas and jailed ourleaders. On December 1, 1960,the infamous state of emergencywas declared. Our leaders weredeported, our womenfolk rapedby the army men and the homeguards. There were men to pro­tect the chiefs from the anger of

They are angry that certain 'pri ­vate citizens' were invited to comeand hear the Government's plans fortribal representation on a proposedUrban Bantu Council for Dobson­ville, and demonstrated their angerwhen Me. G. Molefe, one of thosewho had met tbe Commissioner­General and also an Advisory Boardmember, called a report-back meet­ing the following day.

When the people refused to letMr. Molefe speak, he said:

3. Mr. Alex la Guma, CPC exe­cutive member, was once the victimof a gun attack while he was sittingworking in his home. A heavy cali­bre bullet was fired through hiswindow, missing his head by inches.

4. A little later a gun attack wasalso made on the offices of CPC inDistrict Six.

Congressmen in other centreshave also been attacked by terror­ists. Armed gangsters in Durban,calling themselves agents of the KuKlux Klan, attacked the home ofMr. Rowley Arenstein and firedbullets at his friends when theycame to his defence. C.O.D. memberMr. Ronnie Kasrils was grazed byone of the flying bullets. The at­tackers got away.

Congressmen and women in allcentres are continually being threat­ened and abused by anonymouscallers on the telephone. Some ofthe victims of these attacks arepeople not in the public eye. Theordinary Nationalist hooligan wouldnot know about their activity andwould not know where they stayed.

Bullets Fired

Two other instances of terror istactivity occurred during the May 29stay-home campaign in Cape Townlast vea r:

No. 1: A petrol bomb was thrownthrough the window of the Karahome in Kensington. Furniture andcurtains were set alight and con­siderable damage was caused to thelounge.

Two weeks earlier the SpecialBranch had arrested Mr. MohamedKara for distributing stay-home leaf­lets. He was released without anycharge being preferred against him.

Mr. Kara is a youngster and hasnot been prominently in the publiceye. The ordinary Nationa list hooli­gan looking for some fun wouldnot know where he lived or how tofind him.

During the May 29 stay-at-homecampaign Mr. Marney was stoppedby the police outside hi" front doorand questioned about the distribu­tion of leaflets. T HE FOLLOWINGNIGHT A STONE WAS TH ROWNTHROUGH THE WINDOW OFONE OF THE ROOMS IN HISHOUSE.

Now this latest brush with theSpecial Branch is followed almostimmediately by this cowardly attackon his wife at home.

Mr. Marney reported the attackto the police, BUT UP TO THETIME OF GOING TO PRESS,TWO WEEKS LATER, NOBODYHAD COME TO TAKE A STATE­MENT FROM HIM OR HISWIFE.

The police promised to patrol theneighbourhood of his home for aperiod of two weeks. But the effi­ciency of their patrol may begauged from the fact that a fewdays ago a garage 0fI the main roadabout 75 yards from Mr. Marney'shome was burgled with impunity.

Complex Proposals

Bight to London are part of acarefully contrived Anglo­Rhodesian conspiracyto forceMr. Kenneth Kaunda, theNorth Rhodesian Africanleader, to accept the latestconstitutional proposals.

These proposals make littleif any advance on the Macleodconstitution adopted for N.Rhodesia in June last.

All speakers 'emphasised the needfor ac tion to stop pass and permitraids. It was announced that thepeople should await the next callwhose details would be made avail­able by people who would be speci­fically commissioned for that task.The campaign would be part of theNon-Co-operation phase of thestruggle.

It was also announced that 1962should place the struggle on ahigher plane than betore. Thepeople w~re to prepare themselvestor the hard months that lay ahead.

"The move against pass raids isa concern of all Africans. All Afri­cans must suppo rt the campaign.Those who don't should know tha nthere are only two side~the

people's side and the Government's.Wh~ver is not with the people iswith the Government," said Mr. E.Loza,

ANOTHER 12·DAYJAILING

JOHANNESBURG.MARCEL MARCEAU, the

greatest living exponentof the ancient art of mime.who is at present touring SouthAfrica as part of an officialcultural exchange between thegovernments of France and ofthe Republic, is to do onlytwo shows that Non-Whitesmay attend in each of themain centres.

In Johannesburg and in CapeTown the presentation will be tointegrated audiences, but in Dur­ban, where segregation was im­posed, the shows were boycotted.(See Dr. G. M. Naicker 's state­ment in New Age last week.)

When I tried to interview Mon­sieur Marceau to ask him whethersuch a limited number of shows,plus the insult of segregation, didnot conflict with his own state­ment that "Pantomime is a univer­sal art-form and a method ofcommunication between all thosein the world who seek love andbeauty," I was told by his man­ager, Mr. Robert Langford:

"Why don't you people just lethim Ret on with his work. THISISN'T HtS BUSINESS-he isfrom outside the country-colour­bar fights have nothing to do withhim."

Mr. Langford said further thathe might have granted jU3! an'ordinary' Press interview, but " forthis reason particularly I won't letyou see him."

Why did such a great artist, aman who was himself forced tolive underground in France foryears during the Nazi invasion,agree to thiS officially sponsoredNationa l Theatre Organisationtour? At a time when South Afri­can apartheid is viewed with suchhorror throughout the world as an
