In this class o f work the Africans proved their worth. T h e King congratulated them, the Field Marshals o f the Allies praised them. T h e ir discipline left nothing to be desired. M ore and more Africans were required, and more and more Africans crossed the ocean, but not all reached their destination. N o, not all. Some were destined to have a watery grave, fo r the 5.5. M \ndt G went down in the ocean with many hundreds on board. But they had answered the call, and proved themselves men. In France the climate was extremely trying to the sons o f Sunny Africa, but they maintained the merry disposition that is so characteristic o f the

. Africans. But there, too, they died, and many o f them lie buried in France where their friends and relatives will never have the privilege o f seeing their graves.

Can it still be said, even in a military sense, that the South African native has not played his part in world politics alongside his white coutrymen?

T h e National Congress o f British West Africa is the leading political organisation o f the Africans in West Africa. It was estab­lished a number o f years ago and has fought many battles for the chiefs and people o f West Africa. It has sent, on more than one occasion, distinguished deputations to His Majesty King George and the British Parliament. T h e General Secretary is M r. Samuel Richard W ood.

T h e Penny Savings and Investment Society was founded by Rev. Mbangela, o f the Congregational Church, in 1922. H e had estab­lished a similar society some years previous at Kimberley. So good were the results o f this experiment that the proposal o f starting a similar society in Johannesburg met with general approval. T h e present directors are: Messrs. T . B. Ntlebi, J. Bendile, Qodashe andE. F. Venna, secretary. T h e society has no paid staff. T h e directors meet weekly. T h e savings are banked at one o f the local banks. T h e funds are increasing and loans have been made to many people on a reasonable rate o f interest.

was form ed 'in 1912 on the instruction o f the Queen Regent Nabotsibeni o f Swaziland, and under the direction o f Dr. P. KaI. Seme, with a capital o f £ 3 ,0 0 0 . T his company published the Abantu-Batho newspaper which became the official organ of the African National Congress. It has been instrumental in killing tribal friction among the natives. It has also inspired the Africans to greater things. A t one time the Abantu-Batho was the biggest and most w idely read paper among Africans in South A frica . It is printed in English, Zulu, Xosa and Sesuto-Secoana. It is circu­lated through the U nion o f South A frica and Territories, Rhodesia, the C ongo, England and America. It became the property o f the A frican National Congress in 1928 during the presidency o f M r.J. T . G um ede. In 1929 M r. G um cde became sole proprietor o f Abantu-Batho. At the beginning o f 1931 the A frican and Indian T rading Association, L im ited, acquired the newspaper with plant complete from M r. G um ede.
