THE BANTU LAVVS AIlfJINDDrENT BILL - THE BEG INNING OF THE END.

The Bantu Laws Amendment Bill is an act of desperation and feat. In the short run, it gives the Government massive powers over 7,000,000 Africans in the so-called "Whl-f.e " areas.

In -(;11e long run, it will hasten the downfall of apartheid and the coming revolution.

The Bill is not designed to kick all Africans it is a control measure, Nationalists depend labour for their mines, farms and factories. Africans to the reserves.

out of "White" ar~as; 100% on cheap Black They canno t remove all

rHE WHIT': S·rATE WOULD COLI ,APSEl This Bill was born in fear - fea:..' of the people. The Nationalists say it will make the White-· man safe . The U.P. condemn it uecause they say it will not makeGh~ iVhite man safe.

The first action when this Bill is law will be to expel a host of ~~g~~§!!~E~~~_~f~~E§~§_=_E§gned people, trade unionists, any militant

THE BANTU BILL MEANS DISASTt:R

:* All Africans become : foreigners in ""fhi te" :areas.

:* We are robbed of our :last remaining rights. :Formerly Africans born in :urban areas or who worked :there for 15 years had a :legal right to be there. :This is gone.

:* If an official finds you : "in any way undesirable", :he can endorse you out.

:* Influx control offenders :will be sent to forced :labour camps called "aid :centres" , Either you do :the work a "peace officer" :enforces (e.g. farm labour ~ in Bethal) or you are :endorsed out.

:* Africans become a ~portable "temporary ~ labour force ", according :to a Nat . M.P.-­:migratory Labourers, like :the miners.

:* Families are broken, :old people thrown out of :town to die in the :reserves."

: opponent" Deputy-Bantu Minister M. C.

. .

Botha says he wants to crush "members and office-bearers of the A.N.G." The Department of Information Digest cays the clause giving powers to cancel service contracts, and so depriv0 any African of his job and make him liable for deportatio~ is directed againJt "Bantu Vvith subversive political B.itils ".

Many non-political people will also be endcrsed out. Children of 15 will be torn from their families and put in forced labour campG . The aim of the Bill is to forge a docile labour force, to expel freedom-fighters, to turn the whole country into homeless, migratory labourers, living in compounds, de­prived of families.

The bill is the second leg of Verwoerd's aparthvid programme. The other leg is the Bantustans.

Verw0erd hopes the Bantustans will give him the excuse to suppress Africans in the "White" areas. One lagg is designed to conceal the other.

BUT BO~H LEGS WILL KICK AGAIN!

Bantustans will goad the peasants to Devolt. Bantu Laws will goad the workers to revolt. Border industries bring exploitation to the reserves; but they also bring the very thing the government wants to avoid - in­dustry organises the workers, teaches them how to band together, act together, fight together .

WORY ...JRS.

Nearly every senior Sactu officiRl ha s b ~ en arrested for go days , banned , or s ent~nced to long terms of ,imprisonment by Verwoerd ' s rubbor-stamp courts . Rnnk- and- file Inion members are interrogated by the Ge s tapo- li..1;.Y ~cial..B.:r::anch, a:cr csted for "pass offences", and intimidated by police and policv stoOg8S.

The Nationalist Government ' s method is obvious . They are scared to ban Sact u, because they knowt;hey will be faced with a {!'eat tide of indignation from the workers in South Africa and increasing pr ossure from labour organisations and or6anisations overseas. So instead they try to be less obvious .

** Sactu ' s former National PreGident, Jilin Levfe' was arrested f or go days , subsequently a owed '0 leave the country.

His successor.,-¥ S. Dhlamini of Natal , was arrested for go days , subs Aquently kept in prison awaiting trial .

Vice-PrGsident of Sactu, Mrs. Ytola Hashe , banned and confined to the arc:a in which she li \}Ies .

** Sactu ' s assistant secretary, Mrs . Phyllis Altman , served with a vicious banning order.

** Mark Shope, former General Secretary , banned and forced to resign from Trade Unions .

** Saotu's Assistant General Secretary of only a few months, Mr . Edward DavorEjTl , was arrested and deported to Britain. A British citizen, Mr. Davoren had been involvod in trade union work overseas. He was detained by the Special Branch and threatened with deportation, but immediately went back to work~ He was sUuse1uantly arrested and de­port~d to ~ngland .

With the top officlals removed, the G vernmont moved in on the lo cal executives . By the end of 1963, abou~ 50 of Sactu ' s officials hud been jailed or banned , or put under house arr8st. Some examples: Jotm Gaetsewe, put under a 24-hour house-arr0st order immediately on his release from jail; ~~elville Fletcher, banned, now awaiting tria.l for "bre3king" his banning order; 1I , C~nni ok Ndb-lovu and .Billy Nair ,. l~ading Sactu officials in Natal , have recently been sentenced to twenty years imprisonment by an apartheid court; and/Uriah Male~alof Johannesburg , arrestod , released, then rC--8.rrestr d. ~

BZ'CAUS~ TIC GOV~RNM:SNT IS DETLm.rrNED TO DLSTROY FREE TRADE UNIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA , they will not tolerate any trade unions (whose aim is to fight for better conditions for workers and defend their rights) except the all- White ' Bonds' that arc organised and run by government stooges .

B~CAUSG BY FIRST DESTROYING SACTU , BANNING AND IMPRISONING bLL SACTU OFFICIALS , IT WILL BE EASIER TO DSSTROY LESS MILITANT TRADE UNIONS .

The T.U. C. should read history. They will be the next to go unless they openly co-operate with the Nats. This is what happ8ns always -first the attack on the most militant and outspoken opponents; the more timid stand aSlde 9 hoplng the govGrnmont will leave them alone. But whr~n tht..' v::c.nguard has gone; 1 thlm trw attack spreads .

I In the politi cal fi0ld, thi ~:; is what h'3.ppened - first th8 Communist Party was ou'tlawed. ThLn thE attack spread to all liberal and pro­gressi vo partius. ~ ' irst Now Ag..::. was banned a~ld Spark destroyed . Now they will silence all 811ti-apartheid papers.

iVe calIon the S. A. 1'rade Union Council, Fofatusa, and all who maintain they stand for free trado Un.l..On3, to rally nOH to support and defend SACTU . Those who do not - we will know them for what they arc .

THE INDIAN P:.50PLE - ATTACK AND COUNTER- .LTTACK .

The Nationalist regime has launched an all-out attack on the Indian people . ~he attack, in the Transvaal, has three pron6s. First, against the ~hole people, sucond, against thb merchant class; third, against the peoplG's militant political organisation - the Indian Congress .

The Group ~reas ~ct has woundod the whole people. Dispossessed of their homes and moved by force to distant racial ghettoes, Indians are baing kicked out of th0 districts they have lived in since the lest century. Ventcrsdorp ' s 15 Indi5n families will bo forced to leave their hom~s by hpril. In Johannesburg, more and morE people arc being forced to leave for Lenz . They are told to build new homes there without 01ect~icity, where tho roads are rutted and pot­holed, travelling 40 mi10s to and from work evory day.

The Gr up hreas Lct also threatens thu merchant class, until now the most importa_!t influence in theTransvaal Indian communi ty . Indian businessUlt:n are forced to move, and are ruined; V/hi te businessmen takG over their custom . The Gov~rnment replies by saying Indians can trade in th8ir own areas - and buy in each others shops .

Wi th the Indian Congr,,::s3, tho Government and th8 police have beon shrewd. Rather than cause a sensation by banning the Congress, the Government has tri od to crippll~ t t by banning the IGading members , Instead of hitting a peopleis organisation on the head, they drain its blood. They have used the; same technique against SACTU {50 ac-tivists banned), first used to break ItSp8.~>k" J 1 fter shoving the Indian people around , wrecking their :ivelihood and banning their real leac1(;:rs the Government hs s flung down th,_ most blatant insult of all: the National Indian Councl, an advisory body of 21 hand-picked stooges, all appOinted by Minister Wi11i . Mareo . Haree formed the council to giv8 his decrees a veil of de~oJrc ~y. But the people are not deceived.

Th,; Governncnt I s strong-arm campaign has has an effect, but not the ef~ect the Nationalists plannGd. The Indian peopl~ are becoming more militant , not loss. Young Indians are increasingly anxious to join with the ~frican youth in the rGal underground struggle .
