VICB - PRjSSIDSNT, NATAL AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS.

Congreos is the only organisation which has openly de­clared its opposition aguinst this now type of education intro­duced by the Dutch people called Bantu Education. Moreover, we have not the slightest hesitation in averring that there is not a single African who sould openly Ray that he or ahe likes this form of education which was asked for by no one. We, therefore, fellow— Africans, should apea* in one voice following Congress , the only organisation whose voioe is heard even in I’ar. lament.

MhTIiODo 0? LIGHTING AGAINST THIS "'Y^S OF i&IJl! CAT ION :

Yes,* the remedy to cure tnic bantu Education fever is rather bitter to others, although it in the only alternative for us to take. How oaa we fignt against this Native Affairs Depart­ment education ? Here are the methods recommended by the NationalExecutive of the African National Congress :

(1) COKMlTTafia AND BOARDS JtlOU^D BiS BOY JOTTED : If one agrees to become a member of these school boards and committees, one will be co-operating to implement this law and all that it stands for.

(2) WITHDRAWAL OF IHK CiiljJJrtjJN FROM TH^ SCHOOLS : In places where the""people have been told about tThie evils which this law brings to the African people the children will have to be withdrawn from the Government schools. C o n f e s s considers it ad­visable that as soon us the children are withdrawn from the Government schools, there should be means made for them to receive another form of education. At present Congress with the aid of

TBS BANTU KD0CATI01I ACT - jr - P.A. SDBBLANI.

(NATAL AFRICA! RATIONAL C0NMES3S PROVINCIAL T R S A S U 1 M ) .

This new law stylad the Bantu Education is brooding with svl

besauee it was passed by Parliament having been introduced by Dr. Yerwi and his government in,order to offor a typs of sduoation which they know will enalave the Afrioans for ever for the white people. The ahanges sffeoted on the educational system of the Afrioan people clearly ahows as this.

In deceiving our Afrioan people it is said that they ahall manage their own schools and will give the type of eduoation they desire to their children. Tet beoauee we know we are being deceived we hare found out that there has nertr been in history an eduoation whioh will suit the blaok people and another type for the whites. We are gratified to note that most of our Afrioan people hare seen the evils of thie type of eduoation. If you do not see the evile whioh have been brought by this for* of eduoation, you will be convinced after reading thie paper, and if you are etill not satisfied, oallaat the Congress Offioee at 308 Lakham Chambers, Seville Street, Durban, or eee the officials of jour local branch of the Afrioan National Congreee.I,#-fc Be briefly outline eo*e few of the evils which hare come with thisBantu Education.

(l) There will henceforth be no eohool without having firet been regietered under the government, beoauee the government wants us to receive the only fora of eduoation, as the one he has ohoeen whereae whltee has a free ohoioe as regarde aduoational facilities.

(2) The funde allotted for African education has been reduoed according to the provieions of the Bantu Eduoation and wilx regain etatic at £ 6 ,500,000 even though need be for more financial subsidy.. Thie is done despite the faot that by our paying poll-tax and buying taxable commoditise we are also giving a hand to the Union Treasury. Morewver the industrial magnates are paying the government tremendous aafunts of aoney because they pay the African workers inadequate salaries. Therefore^ suoh an aotion is a proof of a bad spirit sxieting in the voting for Afrioan education. After all, what ie £6 aillion pounde to o million Africans?

(3) The government in additio* to the £6 aillion says that the people ehould pay for the running of the sohoole which will imple- aent this evil-laden type of eduoation we hate so much.

(4) Many highly educated Afrioannteaohers will lose their Jobs because the government has already announced its lack of interest in highly qualified teaohere for the lower sohools. The government will monthly employ female teachere and pay them low salaries.

(5) Nursery sohools will be closed in the same way as the feeding Bohemes in African sohoole are gradually being abolished. In the European schools there has so far been notning reduced *nd yet the Europeans are rioher than we are, Instead, as it ought to be with Bueh matters as education, the eubsldiee for white eiucation are ^aing increased annualy by the Treasury. Despite all the warnings by Congress some of our Afrioan people seem to co-operate with the government in implementing theee evile euoh as accepting poeitione in the liantu Eduoation eohool boarde thereby giving the government the g;ounds to eay that the Afrioane like Bantu Education. Here in Natal it seems as if our Afrioan people like Bantu Eduoation more than the other provinces sines their reeponse in Joining the Bantu Education school- boards and oommittees was surprisingly positive. But is it imperative that people ehould beoome school-board and committee members of the government schools T There is no law, so far, whioh forces them to do so. Even those who have accepted those positions know this very well.

How that the Congress of the Paopla has mat, we should raTlaw tha significance la tha politioal apherea in thia oountry, eapaoially a© far aa tha llberatory atruggle la oonoeraed.

Tha Congreaa of tha paopla waa tha first of ita nature la thia oountry which comprised af tha rarioaa raaaa snd whioh narked tha baala of tha progreaa la tha traada of political aapl- ratloaa. It waa tha firat time that la thia oountry of racial atrife and divergent opinioaa, there oould ha such a historical aaeembly composed of people of dlffereat politioal oraeda , of different colours aad aatloaalitiea aad posseaeing different ldeala for the aohleveaeat of freedom to lay dowa tha foundations upon whioh they oould build up the future happiaess and peaceful relationa la thia country. That this rally was to be held waa aanounced by a aall fro* the Congreaaea, aaaely, the Afrloan Rational Congreaa, tha South Afrloaa Coagress of Daaoarata of the Buropeana, and the South Afrloaa Coloured People'a organleatioa. The people were orgaaiaed aad It was dlousaed in every plaoa where the people were gathered, suoh as factorlea and warehouses, at political meetlaga, la ohurohes and in many other plaoea whioh we canaot aow eauaerate here. In all thia, whan oae aaw thia Congress of the People, beoomiag a suoceaa, oae vlauallaad a free future South Africa with all the It neela in life for all the sections of thepaopla.

It is quite olaar froa tha aise of the gathering and the nuaber of people who attended thie gathering(rally) that the majority of the people in South Afrloa are determined to fight for their freedom. It la a faot that the people are possessed with a aow aplrlt that is undying within thea i A spirit of friendship and co-operation, the spirit for the love of freedoa and peace. If a group of 8,000 people asseble together to discuss a matter of vital interest tolhem, representing more than half the population of this oountry, it is quite evident that tha spirit of freedoa aad peaoe has set in. This spirit is manifest in the words of our leader Chief A.J. Luthuli who said in this gathering : June the 25 and 26th will go down in history as a significant ladmark - a turning pojnt for the better - in the struggle of making the Unloa of South Africa a paradise of freedom for lte people, regard­less of their geographical or racial orglgin. (fenerations to come who I trust will then be enjoying freedom, will thank Almighty f ot this occasion........ "

Mrs. Sonia hunting of Cape Town said t "The Care Town delegates have travelled almost a thousand miles to 'it‘end the Congress of the People ; yet they would easily tarsi '.an tnousand miles of necessary, when the reason was to come togeth * , .speak of Freedaml "

What is also gratifying in this rally is that it unit. tne young and old to Joia hands and work together. Old teen snd women atood side by side with their sons and daughters speak!og In one voioe 'FREEDOM F(>R ALL'. Thia gathering(people) brout it together people of different tradea and occupations ; industrial workers, farm workera, dootore, ministers of religion, and IntelLectu^Ie of all kiada. Really, this gathering was representative of all Lhe aeotione of tha community.

The Charter which was adopted st this conference reflects t tha eathuatmam with which the people have been engaged in free thought in the libevatory movemeat. There la yet ao dooument whioh iaterpreta the aaplrationa cf the people ao olaarly aa tha Freedoa Charter in thia country. Tha Freedom Charter waa a product of great foreaight. Tha various racial groups in ths country should havs ao fsar of dlsorlmlaatlon against them since the Freedoa Charter has as racial prejudice«

Watal was represented by 300 delegatee which was indead very pleasing. On Saturday the oonferenoe was opensd with a meesage from Chief A.J. Luthuli, the A.B.C. President-General, and the message was worded in a great style characteristic of his leadership. We, who were present only wish that this son of Afriea had been there hlaeelf to deliver hie address for he was ths lsader of this Congress of the People oampaign.

On Saturday the 25th, the C n a i m a n presented the Freedom Awards to Chief A .J . Luthuli, Dr. C.M. Dadoo and Father Trevor Huddleston. The Freedom Award - Isitwlsandwe-winners- are regarded by the people in the liberatory struggle as men and wemen who have shown great oourage and determination for the cause. Amongst the Xhosas a great hero wan bestowed with the honour of being given a feather and styled *isithwialandws' Thle is like the presentation of the Viotorla Cross for bravery amongst the Whites. (English people).

To those brave men who were the honoured recipients of the freedom Award we say t 'Forward ye brave fighter I Freedom in our lifetime, fe hope that others will be encouraged to distinguish themselves in the liberatory straggle*.

On Sunday afternoon, while the meeting was still proceeding peacefully, the police oars, vans and lorries came into the sssns.Ths polios were armed to the tooth with machine-guns and others mounted 04 horses. Thess men entered the enclsure and seised all documents they could lay hands on. They were armed with a search warrant whioh authorized them to searoh for, and seize all doou- ments circulated in thie meeting. Others were arreeted for having no passes, which were demanded for in terms of the unjust pass lawe.

We are glad to announce that those who were present for being disciplined in tne face of police provocation. They showed olearly that we want our freedom by means of non-violence. We however, regret that the Natal delegatee had several difficulties in travelling. Yet we congratulate them for their perseverence in reaching d i p t own anti we are grateful for their having shown great solidarity.

Our great task is to fullfill the promise that we shall preach the aspirations of the people of South Africa expressed in the Freedom Charter in every corner of the country, here, therefore is a task for a>l those who love freedom 1

It is common that whenever we discuua things as Africans we should pass the re.oark that we would have long achieved our free­dom but for the faot that we are not united. This is the truth bs- oauss even the Whites who framed the constitution of the Union of Soutn Africa adopted the slogan 'Ex Unltate Vires', whioh means, Onity is Strength. *'e aleo know tne story ol a man who told his sons to bring a bundle of sticks and asked them to break them one by one whioh they did.

Congress was to become our political mouthpiece. Therefore when one aays the Afrioan people are not united, one refers to oneself and to other* of ones like who have preferred to severe all connections with our national and only organisation, the Afrioan National Congrese.

of TH3 SOT;:flWMEKT TO PIVII)K US , The Government nas seen how united the Afrioana are under the Afrioan National Congress. Therefor* they are trying by all means to prohibit the holding of meetings where matters of mutual interest can be diacua3e d . In the towns the African people are not allowed to hold meetings except by special permiaaion from the Mayor. This pormission is very difficult to obtain and at some instances it Qelosea available later when no ohanoe to organise a meeting is available. In the Keserves a •aeetin*

On the ^arms, tho farmers do not want to see an African who is not unuer their employ on their farms, therefore, a meeting cannot in the least be a matter to be spoken of in these places. Above all tho government is trying by all maana to prohibit our leaders from attending meetings aad addressing the psople, moreover, n-* deports s.ias of our ljadera from the Urban areas to place* where living iu considered impossible.

Despite that ne become banned, thy government is trying to divide us ideologically.

they require. These policemen, like government **rvante are fighting against the A.N.C. and are uaing nany tactics in their fight. The reader will renenber that in Johannesburg aaongat the twenty leadera that were arreeted there waa one detective who had made himnelf pji office boy to Mr. ^.M. SisuAu — Congress Secretary*- General at his office. Hers in Hatal we had the caaa of an Afrioan detective named Kuaalo who stays at Cl3rmont. This nan appeared as if he had leit the police force owing to a quarrel with his superior offioers and started becoming a herbalist. Yet tne whole time he was pretending and even wnen he nad joined thy Congress Droffessini to be a member. *

HOW TO MEET THE CHALLENGE OP OUR BAY I

The Method which can be adopted to n&et this challenge is not easy and cannot Just be done by sitting in offices and writing a lot. The leadere and their followers should be aware of the dangers confronting then and should try to findout the weaknesses of their opponents by clever nanoevree in ooping up with the situation. Furthermore, they should try to find a way of out- wittiag the government endeavours to retard our progress, and to unite our people into a strong force in the following manner i—

(I) COMPRESS BRANCHES SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY s It ehould be clear that the government has not banned the Afrioan Rational Congreaa aa yet and that it in not an offence to become a member of the African National Congress. Therefore, it is absolutely essential that each leader should organise for Congress membership wherever that leader ia. Where it is possible for meetings to De held that ahouxd be done regularly and leaders should be invited to addrees those meetings. Where it is impossible to hold meetings the general members and organisers should go from house to house pre-ichin^ the goepel of Congress and c_ter for more Congress membership. They ahould alBo give to tnose penpi* leaflets arid otnar papers whicn will enlighten the people on Congress policy. In places where only 9 Africans are allowed to form a gathering that number should meet at various intervals throughout the area ; a dog can finish a bowl of water with the lick of hia tongue.

(II) IK aDE UNIONS. PEASANTS ORGANISATIONS AWD TRA L'E a s s o c i a t i o n s s h o u l d be &i3T5LI3HSPt- ----------------------------------------------- — -- ----

Whether there is a branch of Congress or not in -ny £iven area, it is necessary that a leader or Congreaa organiser should devote particular attention to the establishment of organisations wnich are mainly for the advancement of the economic interests of the African people. Whei'e, in the Henerves, there are workers ; a trade union should be established to co-operate witn tha other organisations, where there are none, peaeante organisations should be founied together with trade organisations. All these organisations should co-operate with Congress in whatever is done.

(Ill) LET US S p o S E Tia S H I S AJTD HIRELINGS : Tina has uo. o o u whan we should distinguish between tlie fighters for the African people and the sell-outs who co-operate with the government, in its attempts to subject the African community t~ perpetual suaservieuce and white supre- naoy in this oountry. This, especially drawu our attention to thoee who have given thenaelvee over to the service of the government in oppressing our people, suoh as members of the various boards and committees founded in terms of *-

Native Labour (Settlement of Disputes) Aot,Bantu Eduoation Aot,Bantu Authorities Act,Native (Urban Areas) Aot.

and others. These are b o b * of ths unjust laws and there 1 b no edasated iatslleotual who csn dsny the fsot that suoh laws sp those •numerated above are meant to enslave the African psople. let, is order to be effective thee# laws will always require ths help froa African people. It is surprising to note that some of our people Join hands with the governnent in devising ways in which these laws ••uld be properly implemented. It is about time, new thersfo*e, that we who work day and night against theimplementation of theae laws should openly deolars that apart froa fighting againet the government, we are fighting against those fellow-Afrioans who are working dayand night for the government's plans to make its laws effeotive, and we oall then traitors who sell their own people away !

LSI 1)8 EXPOSE THE SOT. ItNTiENT'S SLAKPEB AND LIES IOnt wiiter in a

widely circulated newspaper stated that the Africans Joined these governmeht sponsored boards and committees as a response to the fabulous promises by the government towards the welfare of the Afriean people. Suck talk reflects the lack of understanding of the people who join them forgetting how many times the government has broken its promises in the past, and its evil remarks aguinst the African people. Ths nationalist government does not hi^.e the fact that it .Till not give way an inch from its policy of apartheid in whioh it declares that the African should be separated froa the white oommunity, that we should be divided and that v»e should never be entitled to e^ual rights with thsm. Therefore, if they, (the nationalists) are piloting legislation which i3 baoed on this principle, whioh promise cun we be observing ? Can we be regarded fully mentally developed human-Leinga if we can aig our own graves ?Let us therefore, write extensively, opposing the atatew>ents of those of us who are ioet and know not where they belong I Let us oppoae the government by teaching thaa in a straightforward manner th.\t tnere is not a single nation in all this world that will be oppreaee.l for ever. THE BATTLE, AFRICANS SHOWS THAT YOU ARE NOT TILE '"IAJCKST. LET US WITH OUH THOUGHTS f OUR SPIRIT ANL uUH ACTIONS FK -TK OUR AFRICA 1 - ILAYEBUTE I !!

Chief A.J. Luthuj_i, Nuta.1 African National Jon Provincial Prj.j-dent and Coiigre-J*' f*reHident-fieneral.

According to in En^li-»h iuiom it ia u heal thy to live in a fools paradise. I say this ao an i.ntroductory ra.iara to ■statement as to the aims or the white-South Africans aa far aa the A 'ricma are concerned. Ovfin^ to ijnoranaee oi t wilful jlv i iion o* th? truth, we await hopes that riii nuvur exist in bjiievlj<^ tiit i .»hite government will achieve for uh our freedom and peacj without having struggled with all our -strength aid courage through nvery bittorneae we might experience to achieve our a3piratio;is - and for thot a ittur, ss if we shall not buy our freedom with all our posj^seiona n i even our blood. That iH why freedom will be won after some of ua ha/e lost their lives with the Jfcermination that t. air children might net Buffer as they did in their salad diys. Yet touay there is that apirit that the future generations will fend for themselves wr.ic-. is indeed cowardice and stupidity. This spirit is an absolute opposite of the apirit of our brave chiefs such an Cetewayo, who fought to tha last for his land against English colonialism. Nor is it to oe forgotten that Chief Dingaan also fought against the Boers, protecting his land.
