(NATAL PROVINCE)

REPORT OS THE PROVINCIAL ESJ3CUT1VE ?OR TKE YE'R COWENCING

NOVEMBER 1,1954 AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30th, 1955*

t

I The routine wor’.; of Congress in Natal went on satisfactorilythroughout the year, although we continued to Je ^ ^ a p p e d the shortage of m?n-oower in so iar as Provincial Officio.1- w e r e concerned due to the bans that were re-imposed on the Provincial President Chief A.J. Luthuli and the Provincial Secretary *ir. i .B. Yengwa and the Provincial Treasurer :.r.P.H. Simelane.

This nlaced a heavy burden on the remaining officials. It is pleasing to put on record that these officials, at great sacrifice of their time and money, did creditable work as willbe shown in the report.

This year was marked TDy the Joint activities of the co-sponsoring bodies of the Congress of the People: theAfrican National Congress, the S.A.I.C., the C.O.D. and the s - • • • •If the report should reflect less work distinctively it would be that the major portion of our time and taken up organising for the C.O.P. We must point out that in actual fact organising for the C.C.P. was organising African National Congress,

The political awakening shown by the people, especially in most of the large centres during the year, can °£ly be parallea by the re-awakening shown during the 1952 Defiance of Unjust Laws Campaign.

A SITRVU OF THE POLITICAL SCENE IN UNICN .0? SOUTII ITRJCA^

fi) r.QVEFTMKNT TO RE-SETT.E AFRICANS--- ^IN REALITY TO UNSETTLEAFRICANS)

This year saw the Government undertaking the most diabolic work in Johannesburg of removing Africans from Sophiatown to Meadow lands on the pretext of clearing what is called a slum area, when there were more places under the management of the I unicipality, such as Dube Location, Moroko etc., more deserving of this des­cription. It is plain to any impartial observer that the Govern­ment could not stomach seeing Africans owning freehold properties in a town. If Sophiatown was being removed on grounds of Apart­heid. its next door n e i g h b o r , the Western Native Township, (Muni­cipal owned) should have been removed.

We congratulate the Congress in the Transvaal, who, with the assistance of Officials at Head-Quarters, put u p some resistance on the dav the Government started removal. There is nothing wedii in Natal to assist in this r< bistrrce. Wo would like to

f X ?

point out to the people of Natal that it Is wisdom to coibp to the aid of any group that might be suffering at any given time or place because their lot may bo yours next. We regret tos.ate that there is rcgretable apathy among Africans in Natal concerning laws like the Group Areas Act, and yet Africans in

thcso arers arc not as safe as thoy seem to think. Th^y will soon discover this, as the implementation of the Group Areas Act gets under wr.y. It has como to our knowledge already that in the Mid­lands African settlement within or near the municipal area of PietcrraaritKburg are not safe areas: areas such as Ockerts Kraal, New England, Slangspruit, Newscotland etc. In tho Durban area Goodhope Estate and Chateau Estate in the Cato Kanor area are zoned ar a European area. It is in these areas that Africans who own private stands are in the majority. Even Chesterville loca­tion is described as a tamper ry ..frican lcc&tion. There are a good nunbv, of Africans in ithor prrts of Durban and in Westvillo Area who own private sites, but Dll thcso areas in the suggested zoning eliminate the Afric n completely. Places like Clermont v Township are not safe. It must b remembopod that it is the de­clared "policy of the Nationalist Party to have no African owning land in or near a so-called European town. We, in Congress, of course, vehemently declare that there is nothing like a European town. What we know are South African cities andtowns built by the joint labours of whites and non-whites. The establishment of th^ Duff’s Road Township will provide the dumping ground for '11 Africans who will be removed from within the city bound-arf»as whether they bo from locations or from their freehold sites.

We strongly 'dvise Conference to make a strong resolution protesting against the establishment of Duff's Road African Township, which will b^ so far away from the working centre that Africans from the Township will pay dearly for apartheid. Those distant townships cause the African to p:y heavily for apartheid, a policy which a largo majority of Africans hate. Conference should, also say aword about the removal of Africans from Flats, the so-called location in the sky.

(ii) GOVERNMENT LAND POLICY IN RESPECT OF AFRICANS.

THE POSITION OF FREEHOLD TITLE DEEDS: we learn from reliable sources that radical changes are to be made in conditions govern­ing transfer of land from African to African. Our information is that in future the transferee must make a declaration accepting the following conditions:

1. Th~t the land will beoccupied by the transferee or owner in person.

This is an open attack on Africans acquiring properties in more than one area and is contrary to the

spirit of free enterprise on which the economic policy of the country is based.

2* Tha.t the land so tzmsfered may not be occupied by so-called squatters nd labour tenants employed by the owner thereof, who will be- required to use only : hired labourers for work on his property.

'Whilst Congress does not favour or support the practice of labour-tenancy, yet we must point out tho discrimination to be practiced against ;the African farmer in this respect.

3. That when the son of the land owner reaches tho age of 21 years he must leave the farm.

The diabolic injustice of this is so obvious asto need no pointing out.

4. That the owner of the land will be subject to the Bantu A u t h o r i t y eatablished ov^r the area in which the land is situated.

Here the goveroment is forcing people against their will to aocopt Bantu Authorities Axt«

(iv) BANTU EDUCi,TI N ACT

The African National Ccn ress has u de its position very clear regarding the Bantu Education Act. The Conrress is uncompromis­ingly opposed to Bantu rxiuc tion :»ct and Policy* The last Annual Conference of the nfrican National Congress resolved to st'*e a boycott of the Bantu Education Act. In the implementation of this resolution the National Executive has rightly pointed out that the campaign shall be carried out in an orderly manner under the direction and control of the National Executive.

In Natal there are no areas that have staged a boycott, but we are gl-d to say that there were, at least, three are:s,which for security reasons will remain unnamed, which were prepared to stage the boycott on April 1st, but were kept back by the resolu­tion of the National Executive which suspended the d'y of the boy cott and set that each area nay boycott with the approval- of the Executive if and when it is ready. We do not at ail question the wisdom of this resolution of the National Executive, as it is clear that many centres would not have been ready on April 1st, but the resolution did have the effect of dampening spirits in ...reas that were ready - hence the undisciplined outbursts of boy­cotts in some areas.

Whilst we do not agree with the unauthorised: action of some areas in our sister province, the Transvaal, yet we admire the unconquerable spirit of the common man that showed itself in these areas. It showed that the people were ready and that the tas.c of the leadership was mainly to canalise and direct their actions. In the province of Natal we have not yet staged a boy­cott. Our campaign has taken the following form:

(i) We have issued a comprehensive statement entitled"Uabono Ka Gongress nge hfundo ya Bantu." This pamahlet has been widely distributed among the people, Coaic-s of it are still available in the Congress Office.

(ii) We carried out from the start and wc -re still carrying out an intensive campaign against our people accepting positions in School Boards and Committees.

It is a nrtter of regret to us in the province th'.t D'ny prominent men in the province, especially ministers of religion,

!posiJ}onf in thcse bodies oj* have influenced others.ccept them. This is a case of unashamedly co-oper*'tinp with

your oppressor for ’ur permanent enslavement, for we have not°fHthe^ P°°Ple saying th't the Bantu Education

^ t s

In tho presont str.go the African child suffers a two-ye~r lee­way in comnerison with a European child at the Junior Certificate and Matriculation levels. One dreads to think how wide this gap will be norf when cn African child will not only have followed a dif­ferent course of study but will have had his education in uie vernac­ular up to Std. VI. Can anyone hcncstly doubt that the products of African schools will be lower in their standards of education than those of non-African schools? In one country, with common economic and social prcblons to encounter, there should be a common system of education to give all children an equrl chance of using their God- given t~kents in this highly competitive capitalistic society. Of course, this equality of training would net fit in well with the pol­icy cf maintaining white supremacy or white leadership. IVill cur peo­ple continue tc work voluntarily in support of a policy that is spec­ially designed to keep them as hewers of weed and drawers of water for other people in perpetuity in their fatherland? We call on mem­bers of School Boards and School Committees to forthwith resign and not to st^.nd as candidates for re-election at next elections.

We regret that misleading utterances have been made by some white Church leaders who are.busy crcrting the impression that Bantu Educa­tion is now gorng to create a paradise on earth for Africans. A test of the sincerity of these men would be thoir advocacy cf the exten­sion of the Bantu Education Act and Policy to European Schools. It seems to us to be premature to give an applauding opinion even of syllabi as Issued for the primary schools; to us it would seem wiser to withheld comment until the plans for the entire system have been worked out and published and until the system has been in operation fcr some time. The laudatory comments, in cur opinion, do not touch our main criticism of the Bantu Education Act, which briefly are:

(i) The atmosphere of inferiority th^t will surround Bantu Schools, There is no doubt that this education, what­ever its merits,is designed to prepare the African for a lower status of being a servant of the white man.

(ii) Education,generally, shculd establish comncn standards In any one country if it is not to be used as an in­strument of domination cul exploitation.

(v ) THE RENT ISSUE

Following upon their errcnnecus belief that the burden of finan­cing African public services is borne entirely by white people in South Africa, the Nationalist Government has taken steps to curtail or peg the share cf General Revenue allocated for African services.It is in pursuance of this policy that tho st'tc contribution has been pegged at £6^ million for Bantu Education, as also the reduction in the grant for African school feuding schemes, /.nd it is in pur­suance of the same policy that, when it comes to "Native Housing% houses built as sub-econcmic are now to be paid for with an economic rent'1 on the grounds that there are ruw some Africans whose joint family incomes have reached eccnouic levels; and fcr Africans a £15 per m nth joint income is regarded as an economic income. This is dene in the face af all statistical inform-ticn available which shows that the minimum expenditure of an average family in an urban centre is in the neighbourhood of £18 per\ month. No doubt, minimum hero moans living on the barest level of subsistence which would hardly be sufficient for any pet dog in a European household, y/e have not suc- cee.:ed in Natal to co-ordinate opposition against this raising of the rents. The incoming Executive should take up this m-.ttcr in earnest, e /on to the extent of setting up a test case In Nata.l as was done in the Transvaal; if possible, it shculd enlist the co-cperati..n of all interested bodies.

We point out all these events taking place in Africa to. show our complacent people here that the rest of njjrica is astir. It is *» astir that the Prime Ministers of the Union 01 oeuth ..fric bo the former Prime Minister, Dr. Malan, and the present one, . r. S-.rijcoc,

Their reaedy of calling for "-united front of whites against tho rile ed threat of block hordes is suicidal, ^he only remedy is full partnership in multiracial territories and full lndepondenco in uni-rociJl territories. The African National Conjross should take serious cognizance of the fact that some ^uthorities in the Union, like the Government and the officials of the Tra.-e Council, are busy trying to sell apartheid to the territories in th« TJorth of the Union. Cur Head Office should sp~re no efforts in inj hands with progressive forces in the Northern territories to opposethe spread of apartheid.

V. S E C T I O N C .

THE WORLD I." GENERAL.

We continue to welcome the helpful interest the progressive forces in the world are taking in our welfare in the Union of South ..frica.In this connection we would mention the following instances:

(1) The helpful co-operation established at Bandoeng between Africa and Asian countries.' It is striking that the press of the so-called free world did not give as much constructive comment as one would have thought, since this Conference, judging by the utter-nc^sof its sponsors and by the discussions during the Conference it­self. showed that it was not anti- any one group but merely sought to bring about a world in which ther- would be no domination of one group or groups by any other group or groups: it merely sought to fight for fair play in the world.

"if the Conference w-s anti- anything at all, it was anti- racialism, anti-domination and anti-exploitation, otc.

(2) We welcome the interest shown by groups and individualsin various countries, even in those countries that are beneijt- in- selfislily from the exploit tion of .frica. We would her-- mention the cheering spirit of some sections of the Labour Perty in England, that have time and time again suggested chat it were better to expel the Union of South .'.frica from the Comaonwealth of Nations than to keep her within the Commonwealth while she continues to ignore the rightful claims of the majority of the

/i ■

inhabitants of the country. We cannot conclude these remarks without expressing cur sincere thanks for the constant champion­ing cf cur cause by the Government of India, especially its Prime ;iinister, Pandit Nehru. Africans should not be deceived by Gov rnncnt propaganda which seeks to present India as having r.g?rcsdve inter sts in Afric .

C0rCLU0TIIG REi-- AKS:

In concluding this report let us express our deep appreciation for tiie sclid work done by various Congress organs and members in the Provii.cc. The success attained is all the more creditable when w re'lis that the Provincial Executive was working under: ricus shortage of nan-power, occasioned by the bans imposed by the government on some senior Congress Officials of the Province.

The. report rcflccts intense co-operative activity among officin>n an;’, responsible members of Congress without which the report would not be reflecting some creditable successes such as these: increase in the number cf branches: the praiseworthy efforts put forth to

organise fcr the Congress cf the People: the publication of Congress literature on day tc day issues: the activity of women in organising to ppose the move tc have African women carry passes, etc.

Wc realise that in relation to the tota.l national task and to tho achievements in other provinces these successes may be classed as insignificant, but, nevertheless, they are encouraging to us in Natal, for we are working among an extremely conservative people, tne Zulus, who sometimes shew too docile respect for the whites in South Africa.

Wc realise that there is still much that needs tc be done before wc can even earn the grade of satisfactory. Our membership is still very low in view of thousands in the province who are outside the fold of Congress. Our finances are shamefully low. There is really no end to tasks we have to do and goals we have to reach. Ours is still very much an unfinished task; but we have confidence that the spirit of devotion and loyalty to Congress shown by a growing number cf people in Congress,especially ycunp oeople. will make us see a future crowned with glory. The road to freedom may be long and thorny, but we are intent on FREEDOM IN OUR LIFETIME.

stand out boldly the mints of both readers and hearers.Details tend to blurr fundamental principle*.

We also appreciate the fact that by the nature of things the assembly, the Congress of the People, could not give the document the sorutin/ty it deserved.

Haring made our honest comments on it in a somewhat critical way for which we make no apology since such an all-time, world­wide document needs critioal scrutinty by its sponsors, we, nevertheless, say that the Congress of the People produced an admirable document under the circumstances and that this dooument should be a great Inspiration to progressive forces striving for freedom for all in our land during our life time*

2. RESOLUTIONS ANENT EDUCATION. BANTU EDUCATION ACT:

H)"That this Conference re-atfirms the decision ta*en by the National Confernee in December 1954 as well as the subsequent resolutions of the National Executive in regard to the boycott of so called Bantu Education and the methods to be employed in persuanoe of those resolutions in order to defeat this most oppressive, so called, Bantu Education Act."

(ii)*That this Conference whilst not in any way condoning the unauthorised, and often undisciplined, boycott of Bantu Education In some Areas in some of our sister Provinoes yet, nevertheless, admires the unconquerable spirit of the common man that showed itself in these Areas."

3. RESOLUTION QN TRADE UNIONS AND LABOUR* AFFAIRS.

(i) "That this Conference re-affirms its deep regret andcondemnation of the most retrograde aotion of the reactionary groups In the Union of South Afrioa Trade Union Movement who shamefully betraying Trade Union Principles by capitulating to the Apartheid Policy of the Nationalist Party Government dissolved in 1954 the Trade and Labour Counoil replacing it by a strictly ’Europeans Only’ New Federation of Labour in the Union which was called ’the South African Trade Union Counoil' ". Further, "that Conference ajtplands and supports the stand of the progressives in the Trade Union Movement wno, in opposing the capitulation to Apartheid and the dissolution of the Trade and Labour Counoil already herein referred to in this resolution, formed a non-racial Federation of labour organisation which was to be known as 'the South African Congress of Trade Unions1”.

(ii) "That this Conference respectfully, but earnestly requests, the National Conference to instruct its National Exeoutive to implement, as speedly, and as strongly as it can, the polioy already agreed upon of establishing and extending co-operation between the African National Congress and the South African Congress of Trade Unions and other progressive forces in the Trade Union Movement in the Union of South Africa and tothat end Conference urges that on both the National, Provincial and branch levels liaison Committees to co-ordinate this co-operation be established forthwith where they have not yet been established."

(ill) "That this Conference reiterates its condemnation and opposition to the Native Builders' Act now about to be implemented by the Minister of Labour and to that end urges the National Conference instruct its National Executive to make efforts, working with and throughthe minor organs of Congress, to seek contact with African Builders with a view to launching a concerted opposition to yet another diabolic apartheid act."

(It ) "That this Confernoe again affirms its unocompromising •PP**ition to the Influx Control Regulations and ao solicits

. the attention and assistance of %ody to the r«— 1

& / ’■

’closing ccnpletuly of Africans from th- 11— ^.ist-ictof Northern Zululand: Nongoma, Ngotshe, Ingwavuma, Ubombo,Hlabisa, from ever seeking work in Durban."

4. RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE FORCED REMOVAL OF PEOPLE FROM THEIR

ESTABLISHED HOMES.

(i) "That this conference strongly oondemns tn* policy and practice of the Nationalist Party Government of dispossessing, with no compensation, non-whites of their lands aquired by hard saving* mad* from meagre earnings at great sacrificeof other vital human needs, especially in the cas* of African, and removing them from their established homes, sad Coaference not** in particular tho ruthl*ss removal of Afriosa* from th* W**t*ra Areas of Johannesburg and th* thr*at*n*d removal of non-whites under the Group Areas Aot sad oth*r similar aots as in th* cas* of Charlestown in Natal, Ladysslboura* in Pretoria, and of Asiatics in some Transvaal towas•”

(ii) "That this ooafereno* call* upon th* National body workiag with and through its monor organs to initiat* Nation wid*mplaas to orgaais* African*, **p*oially in thr*at*a*d areas to off*r *ff*ctiv* and pratical resistence to the diabolic efforts of th* Natioaalist Party Government to remov* th*m to Ar*as far away from plsces of work and thus making aoa-whites pay heavily for th* policy of Apartheid they have long unequivocally condemned and rejeoted since its outcome will he th* physical moral and spiritual ruination of non-whit** in an supposedly Christian democratic state, the Uaion of South Africa.

5. MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTIONS

(i) AFRICAN WOMEN T ^ T S N E D WITH CARRYING PASSES.•That this Conference expresses its unoompromislng opposltioa

to th* pass syst*m and most v*h*m*ntly oppos** its *xt*n*ioato Afrioaa woman sinoe such an actloa would be a studied « iasult and degradation, aot oaly of Afrioaa womanhood, but of the entire African community;"

And so Conference further resolves: "that the Natioaal Coaference should instruct its Natioaal Executive in co-operation with women's organisations and other interest groupd to organise the strongest opposition possible to this develish move."

(ii) BANTU AUTHORITIES ACT: "That this Conferencelearnt withdismay and disappointment the acceptance of the Bantu Authori­ties Aot by the Ciskei Bhunga, the Transkel Bhunga, and a few individual tribes in other parts of the Union and Conference openlj and strongly condemns this action as a betrayal of the true interests of the African people by some people, either for their own personal aggrandisement or for sstisfying selfish petty group interests, since this system of Bantu Authorities has no vestige of democracy, being authoritarian in nature and designed to give the government an opportunity of oppressing Afrioans through their Chief* and *ld*rs: a nak*d use of the diabolio principle of 'divide and rule'."

(ill) RECENT FASCITS POLICE RAIDS. "That this conference protest* most strongly against the recent Union-wide police raids to search the homes and offices of many loyal oitisens of the £nion of South Africa since suoh raids are an unwanton attaok §n the civil liberties of the people." Further, "that Confe­rence assures the Nationalist Government that no amount of threats or intimidatory tactics will swerve the African National Congress, in oo-operation with other fr**dom loving group* and p*opl«, from its aobl* task of organising th* African p*opl* to fight against all discriminstory laws and practlo* sino* th* purpo** of such laws and praotio** is to k**p Afrioaasi la p*rp*tual *ubj*otioa to whit* man la th* Ualoa of S.A."

(2) "That thia Conference expreaaea it a concurrence with the prlnciplea enunciated in the Freedom Charter formulayed

in tehe Charter be discussed fully before the final ratification of the Charter by the forthcoming Annual confe-enee of the African National Congress, Nat Iona}.,to be held ah December,16 - 18, 1955* And further, that this conference respectfully observes that the Freeflow Charter document is padded in soae oaaes with unnecessary variable details in an all-time document, thus rnnnlng the risk of provoking detracting controversy on the Charter, and hencelthla conference further resolves, that olarlty be given to th& undermentioned point3 before the final ratification of the Charter by the Annual Confe^nr■■■, ,ofororaid* HERE ARE THE OBSERVATIONS ON THE DETAILS DEFERRING TO AB6VI:

(a) CLArSE 2 ; Thia clause tends to over-emphasise racialgroups dlsbinctivenesfl. We urge deleting

from "All people.... custom," in paragraph 2 and substituting by some thing like this: "Consonant with the overriding objeotive of building one united nation in the Union of South Africa due reppect sha3 1 be givt*n to the various racial groups in the multi-racial nation to use their language and to develop their own folk culture and customs, provided that it shall be competent for the state to adopt a lingua franco or an official language-,

(b) CLAUSE 3. Paragraph 1: "restored to the people." Tblsphrase creates the impression

that something will be taken tway from someone 'may be the "HAVES" and ba given to soae other person (May be the HAVS- KOTS"). We w&uld arg prefer something like tnis: "Shall be shared equitably emong all the people."

(e) CLAUSE Suffice it to merely say that "the state shall assist the peaaaats in their husbandry of the

land.* Detail* of the f e n of thia aasAatance are so varied and v ariable to make the* almost irrevelent in an all-time Freedom Charter dooument. —
