W HILE VERWOERD CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN THAT THE SYSTEM OF BAN­TUSTAN IS THE ONLY ROAD TO PEACE IN SOUTHAFRICA, NEW AGE CON­

TINUES TO RECEIVE REPORTS OF UNREST AND VIOLENCE, MURDERS ANDDEPORTATIONS, FROM THE SO-CALLED "BANTU HOMELANDS."

In Bantustan there is no rule of law; there is plain force and terror against the people ad­ministered hi the Government-appointed stooge chiefs backed by th~ South African police. .

In this issue we carry three reports from the African areas showing that unrest IS seethingand that the people's anger is growing against the undemocratic system which is being forcedupon them.

ead On Mountainsi eKillings In Matlala Reserve

The Matlala people have signeda petition demanding:

I. The immediate return oftheir beloved Chieftainess Makwe­na Matlala, and the 22 men andwomen.

2. The return of their fieldsand cattle confiscated by thoGovernment officials when theMatIala Reserve was declared aTrust Land.

3. Freedom of movement in theland of their birth and their rightto work on their fields as theythink fit.

4. Total abolition of Pass Lawsand revocation of influx controlso that their sons can sell theirlabour where they choose.

5. Removal of the Governmentstooge chiefs who are doing somuch harm in the tribe and havecaused much division instead ofunity among the rural Africans.

In an exclusive interview witha representative of New Age inBizana, Mr. Ganyile said that hewas still as strongly opposed toBantu Authorities as he had beenbefore his conviction 21 monthsago.

"We shall refuse to accept thisso-called Transkeian independence.We want freedom in the whole ofSouth Africa," be said.

could not do anything, neithercould he.

Then Mr. Ratswenane Satekge,who had married the daughter ofthe banished chieftainess, wasfound dead on a hillside near thehome of the headmen. The cir­cumstances of his death have alsonot been thoroughly investigated.

CATTLE REGULATIONSThe supporters of the chief­

tainess are also harassed forcontraventions of the cattle regu­lations. Mr. David Kwebu, forinstance, arrested on a charge ofkeeping cattle against the ordersof the officials, had to walk adistance of about 40 miles toreach the court for his case. Manyothers are also in trouble.

There is resentment against theheadman because it is felt he isnot the real tribal head, but aGovernment-approved imposter.

They ruthlessly suppress anyopposition to the Bantu Authoritywhich is headed by Chief MarufaAlfred Matlala, an ex-schoolteacher who sits on the Matlalathrone now, and urged the banish­ment of the rightful ruler and 22others who supported her.

SUSPICIONUnexplained deaths in the Re­

serve have led to a suspicion thatperhaps the pro-Government sideis resorting to strong-arm tactics.

There was the strange death ofthe 70-year-old Mr. Mosbidi Bosi,found lying dead in the open onenight. Wben his widow repone dhis deatb the headman told berber busband was a rebel wbo be­longed to the African NationalCongress, and be was not preparedto do anything about his death.

The Bantu Commissioner toldthe widow that if the headman

Since the deposal and banish­ment of the Chieftainess MakoenaMatIala who resisted Bantu Au­thorities and the turning ofMatlala Location into a Trustfarm, there has been strife andconflict among her people.

The people are split in twosections: those who support thedeposed chieftainess and are evennow pressing for her return, andthe bootlickers of the Nationalist­Government Bantu Authority. Thelatter, now running the tribe, aremaking the lives of the restwretched.

Ziyeki Duna was brutallymurdered at the Mbinzanalocation in the Lady Frere(Glen Grey) district. His headand body were hacked withhatchets, pierced with bayo­nets and battered with sticks.When the m derers left hisdead body lying on theparched' earth he was unrecog­nisable.

Seven other men who narrowlyescaped death arc lying in hospitalwith severe injuries.

HOME GUARDS ATTACK

LOOKED ON

People in the area allege thatthe police looked on while thefrenzied home guard men werebrutally assaultina: people whoseonly Clime was opposition to theBantu Authorities.

The trouble arose when Ziyekidid not attend a meeting convenedby a sub-chief who is a supporterof Matanzima. Manzezulu Mfon­ta, the sub-chief, sent his bushcourt messenger to issue a sum­mons against Ziyeki to appear be­fore him to answer charges arisingout of his failure to attend hismeeting. Ziyeki ignored the sum­mons.

After a few days the sub-chiefdespatched his home guards tobring him to his court by force.Ziyeki refused to surrender andmen in the location put the horneguards to flight after a brief skir­mish.

A few days thereafter, accord­ing to reports to New Age frommen in the area, truckloads ofarmed men from Qamata, KaiserMatanzima's headquarters, accom­panied by armed police and Ma­tanzima in person were transportedto Mbinzana location.

The invaders at once set aboutattacking the men in the area whodefended themselves with sticks asbest they could against the surpriseattack of Matanzima's men whonot only outnumbered them butwere armed with bayonets andhatchets.

STARVATION INMIDST 0 1....,..lIV

THE so-called maize crisis which has hit the country is atypical crisis of our economic system. While on the one band

thousands of our Non-White citizens in all provinces are suffer­ing from starvation, on the other hand the maize farmers haveproduced 29 million bags of maize more than they can sell.

You would think that the humanitarian answer to this prob­lem would be to feed the surplus maize 10 the starving people.But not under our system. where private profit and not publicgood is the standard by which everything is measured.

The Government's solution to the problem is two-fold:(a) to export the surplus at a price lower than the Maize

Board's domestic selling price. (Why can't the price be loweredfor the benefit of the local population"):

(b) to restrict production. so that in future there will be nodanger of surpluses. The Minister of Agricultural Economicsand Marketing Mr. Uys announced last week that the Govern­ment was introducing a "new and revolutionary" scheme forcontrolling agriculture in the Republic. The scheme wouldinvolve production control.

"We are looking for a lasting remedy which will not kill thepatient," he said. But the patient he is thinking of is not theBlack child suffering from kwashiorkor or pellagra. It iswealthy maize farmer who is worrying about his profits. ."'-

The maize problem has been created by what the Ministercalls an "explosion" in agricultural production-from 40 millionbags in 1959 to 61 million bags this season.

You would think such an explosion would be a cause for joyand celebration. holding out the promise of abundant food forall. But not in South Africa under the present set-up. Here the"explosion" has simply produced an economic crisis and stepsare being taken to ensure that such explosions do not occuragain.

The people can continue to go hungry: the maize farmers'profits must be protected at all costs, even at the expense ofthe health of the majority of the population.

There is no logic, no humanity about our system. Privategreed comes before public welfare.

IN OUR VIEW, THE SOONER THIS BRUTAL SYSTEMIS SCRAPPED THE BETTER.

Strangelv enough. a man who has started to think along theright linesfor a solution is Mr. de Wet Nel, the B.A.D. Minister.Speaking in Pretoria last week, he said:

"We must realise tbat in the future the Bantu will provide themost important market for the farmer and the industrialist. Itwould be foolish not to develop our internal markets whileseeking external markets from other nations."

Mr. Nel was defending the Government at the annual congressof the Transvaal Agricultural Union against the accusation thatit was spending too much money on the Bantu. ("Sheer non­sense," replied Mr. Nel. "Only a small percentage of the total(Government) expenditure was being devoted to the Bantu, whohimself made a big contribution towards his own development."). But if Mr. Nel and the Government are really concerned

about the problem of "developing the internal market" (againit is profits and not people that come first), why don't they startordering a substantial increase in the wages of the Africanworkers?

If all African workers got a minimum wage of £1 a day,there would be no difficulty in disposing of the maize or anyother surplus. But we are not likely to get such action from theGovernment. Mr. Schoeman's recent railway wage increasesallocated only R2+ million out of R21 million to the 90,000African workers, which means each worker wiII get only a fewshillingsextra a month.

This is certainly not the way to "develop the internal market."Only a revolution in Government thinking and action can bringthat about. and no such revolution can be expected from thepresent Government or any other based on White domination.

Determined action to smash White domination and transferthe natural resources of the country into the hands of the peopleremains the only long-term answer to the chronic economiccrisis which causes such sufferingand misery among the massesas we have been forced to witness this year.

We are still in tears, perplexed,and unhappy about what hap­pened a few months ago to Mr.Mokitimi, the beloved son of Mo­kitimi's' f,lInill of Basutoland,whom the British officials de­clared unwanted in the territorybecause he was born in theUnion of S.A. while his poorparents were making a living inthe Republic.

Once again the same weapon isapplied, in a sharp. harshly re­versed manner. to Mr. Massina,in Swaziland. His crime is that hewas born and brought up inSwaziland. but worked in the Re­public (New Age 9/8/62). It looksexactly like that!

Do the above two incidentsgenuinely represent the policy ofGreat Britain? Is this their law ofjustice and order?

The majority of the inhabitan tsof the High Commission Territo ­ries work in the Republic. Doesthis mean that these Africans canstill be turned back by the law ofthe British officials when they re­turn to their homes because ofworking in the Republic irrespec­tive of their birth-places?

Independence and freedom ofthese Territories by Great Britainmust be speeded up, otherwisesome of her employees will con­tinue causing bitterness. hatredand unfriendliness between herand her future friends.

Please

In every town in South Africayou will find many police vans totake criminals to jail but only afew ambulances to save the livesof our people. There are morecourts of law than hospitals.

If you go to any hospital youwill wait until you are blue in theface. Why'? Because the doctorwon't be there in time. or there isonly one doctor who is busysomewhere else.

But should you be arrested atanv time. even at midnight, thepolice are always there and amagistrate can be found to "fixyou up."

West German paper pointed outthat it was ironical. to say theleast, that Fraenkel's first job asprosecutor after the war was toprosecute Nazi war criminals!

A leading West Berlin paper.the Taggespiegel, indignantly com­mented on the Fraenkel affair:"The whole case is typical of thedangerous laxity with which thebrown stains on white waistcoatsare disregarded, even when thereis a question of selecting a candi­dale for a high office."

Amongsthis writings then were several out­pourings of praise for AdolfHitler as Germany's saviour.

One of the indirect conse­quences of the anti-colonial up­surge has been the breaking awayby many leading politicians fromthe bondage of the one-time sym­bol of respectability- the collarand tie. One premier who has de­cided to doff his tie for somethingmore suitable for the tropics, isBritish Guiana's Dr. CbeddiJagan, who is leading a stiff fightfor the independence of his coun­try.

Not all his followers, however,are able simply to accept the ideaof a tieJess premier. Said one ofhis admirers recently: "Poor doc,he got so many worries, he na gottime fo' buy tie."

By coincidence. the Con-gress started work just eight By Wilfred Burchettdays after a U.S. MilitaryCommand was set up in Sai­gon and direct U.S. militaryintervention started in SouthVietnam.

Plenarv sessions were held in asolid, brick building with electriclight and loudspeaker sys.temwhich broadcast the proceedingsnot' only to the delegates in thehall. but to the local residents aswell-a tribute to the securitywhich reigns in the liberatedareas,

The three main political partiesforming the hard core of theFront are:

The Democratic Party. formedin 1944. a party of intellectualsand " na il business people. whichsupported the resistance warag.unst the French from the be­ginning;

The Radical Socialist Party,formed in 1961. representing intel­lectuals in-Saigon and other urbancentres and reflecting the strongtrend towaid-, neutralism. evenamong thovc ill the Diem adminis­tration and army;

The People's RevolutionaryParty, formed in Januarv 196:!and ' representing the worker­peasant movement and militantintellectuals.

All three took part ill the Con­cress. Il was also attended bydelegates from social and religiousorganisations. the Committee for

'_.- Afro-Asian Solidarity. the peacecommittees. associations of writersand journalists.

Delegates represented everyprovince and major town in SouthVietnam. There were small busi­ness people. doctors and lawyers.Catholic priests and Buddhistpriests, peasants and fishermenand members of the Front'sarmed forces- including formerofficers from Diem's army.

After 15 days of hard work. aProgramme and Declaration ofpoli~y were adopted and 31 mem­bers of a 52-member CentralCommittee elected. The remainingplaces were left open to representother organisations which it wasexpected would later join theFront

A 10·point policy statementissued a month before the Con­gress by the provisional CentralCommittee bad among other aimscalled for

an end to Diem's war againstthe people:

the withdrawal of U.S. inter­ventionist forces;

the election of a New Na­tional Assembly and Presidentthrough "free. non-fraudulent"balloting;

the dissolution of concentra­tion camps and freeing of politi­cal prisoners;

an end to press-gang conscrip­tion methods;

gress.

NEW AGE, THURSDAY, AUGUsr 30, 1962

sured us of their support inthe campaign to boycott S.A.

Whilst all this is taking place,thousands of people continue topatronise all-White sportingevents. The leaflet adds: "Ourleaders in sports as well as inother spheres are engaged in abitter fight against apartheid insports as well as in other spheresof life."

Under the heading "what doesattendance at these events mean?",the leaflet sets out the following:• It helps to strengthen the

apartheid ideology.• Portion of the money paid at

the gates is used to engageprofessional coaches. To trainwhom? Whites only. Theythen turn around and say thatNon-Whites can't make thegrade for S.A. national teams.

• It means that we in this coun­try are not pulling our weightwhereas people overseas arefighting against apar theid notonly in sport but in otherspheres as well.

• It means that we are not sup­porting wholeheartedly ourown sporting bodies run onnon-racial lines and whichneed our moral and financialassistance. "-

The leaflet ends with a call tostudents not to support all-whitefixtures and to assist in the propa­Jlation of this idea amongst allsections of the people.

W HAT is happening to the South African Sports Association?There is a lot of confusion at present, caused largely by

false press reports that SASA disbanded after the July Execu­tive meeting. These are the facts:

• SASA is being asked to consider disbanding: the requestcomes from the Executive.

• The final decision will depend on the affiliated bodies andthe officials- all of whom have been asked to give theirdecision IN WRITING.

• While president Rangasamy has asked affiliated bodies toagree to dissolve- and he is supported by some vice-presi­dents like REGGIE FELDMAN and M. N. PATHER (ofJohannesburg and Durban respectivelyj-e-some of the othervice-presidents-including strong men like GEORGESINGH (Durban) and FATHER SIGAMONEY (Jhb.}­have strongly opposed the move.

WHATEVER HAPPENS WILL BE DECIDEr> AT THECOUNCIL MEETING IN OCTOBER.

Why has SASA Exec. Moved to Disband?The reason is clearly set out in the Executive resolutions

calling for disbandment:

• It is necessary to take the fight against racial sport to itsnext stage.

• The time is ripe to set up a SOUTH AFRICAN NON­RACIAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE which can apply formembership of the world body.

• Only an Olympic Committee can seek membership- SASAhas served its purpose and cannot take the Olympic fightany further.

• Chancellor Meyer of the International Olympic Committeehas stated to a top White sports administrator (also a topGovernment official) that he expects the non-racial bodiesto make their challenge at the next Olympic Congress.

• He is sending SASA the Olympic Rules so that a Constitu­tion can be drafted.

Sports bodies must get ready to move into the next round ofthe sports-fight: the ROUND THAT SHOULD SEE THEKNOCK-OUT BLOW-if we stand togetherand don't flinch.

WHATEVER HAPPENS, WE CAN BE SURE THATTHE FIGHT FOR TRUE SPORTSMANSHIP WILL BEFOUGHT OUT TO THE VICTORIOUS END.
