I have to attend the Session of the Native Representative Council as from the ?th Inst . I have a desire to see you in connee+io" with Congress matters in Natal;

I Ao not knovf who is locking after the Congress Eall in Johurg as I would like to meet somn of my frienfls In the Hall say on a Sunday or Saturday, so as to in-form them of what is taking

Bloemfontein,

24th July, 1944.

Dr. A.B.Xums,

President-General, A .N .C .,

Johannesburg.

My dear Doctor,

I think you must be anxious by now as to what is

happening here in the matter of the campaign.

Please be reassured that the work of the campign is

now well in hand again. After a fortnights'

rest (owing to having hedx all my upper teeth

extracted) I discovered that my acting president in

the A .N .C . had applied for petition forms and badges

in my behalf but had diverted those forms and badges

to a little pet organisation that he has here, the\

Vigilance Association, and in this way 1* had

divided the forces and caused real confusion to the

rank and f ile .

When I reauested him to call a meeting of the

Provincial Executive he took a whole week to com­

ply with that reouest and drew up his own agenda

for that meeting, ignoring my request.

When the meeting did tske place he was in the chair

(Rev. Tshabangu is still on sick leave) and he would

not take counsil from any body. He would just

do what he liked and nobody had the right to point

out any irregularity . The upshot was that the

committee unanimously passed a vote of no confidence in him. I am sorry we did not do it sooner.

I am sorry I could not inform you of t^is occurence earlier, it was impossible owing to pressure of the anti-pass campaign work.

We had a most successful meeting (public) yesterdag and we were able to dispose of the 300 badges I had requisitioned inside an hour. The spirit was very good.

Mr Bopape w ill, I feel sure, let y<bu have the report I have Just sent him.

Eest Regards,Yours sincerely,
