OPENING ADDRESS BY CHIEF ALBERT J. LUTHULI,'^ PRESIDENT-GENERAL, AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS TO THE 2 2ND BIENNIAL CONFERENCE OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN INDIAN CONGRESS MEETING AT GANDHI HALL, JOHANNESBURG. ON OCTOBER 19 - 21, _________ ___ 1956. A SPIRIT THAT REFUSES TO SUBMIT TO TYRANNY. Once again another biennial conference is upon you. It is my good fortune to be privileged once more to open your biennial conference. It was in 1954 when I had the honour to open your 21st one. I wish this 22nd Biennial Conference opening today the blessings and guidance of the Almighty. My message at this conference will centre around summoning you and all who like you believe in Freedom For All to accept the challenge of Apartheid and solemnly to resolve that somewhere and soon a halt must be called to this policy which is serious­ ly threatening peace in South Africa, by undermining confidence in the Government of the country and straining race relations in the country, especially black and white relations. No-one is more conscious than I of the difficulties that have to be contended with in building up this determination and that such a determination cannot be built overnight or by wish-' ful thinking but can only be built by stoic patient persistency. Important and urgent matters arising out of the tyrannical white rule in the Union of South Africa will come for con­ sideration at this Conference. But the Conference will have failed if it does not directly or indirectly generate a spirit of resisting this tyranny, especially at this time when the Nationalist Party Government through the Group Areas Act and other kindred Acts is robbing non-whites of their properties and seriously threatening their livelihood. I shall be happy, even if only in a small measure, if my con­ tribution to this Conference can help to create such a spirit of resistance to this arrogant studied tjnranny. I must begin by reminding you that the history of mankind shows that people in different lands throughout the Ages have had to meet such challenges as face the people of the Union of South Africa at this time but history teaches us that rarely, except for some temporary set-backs, have movements of the people to resist oppression no matter how ruthless the oppressor was failed. If we truly respect fundamental Hunsn Rights and Noble Divine concepts of man: the dignity of man and the worth of an individual; the brotherhood of man, we must come all out in defence of these values as they are being seriously threatened bjr evil forces in our land. We should remember that Providence has ordained it that a people who refuse to meet such a challenge deservingly suffer moral de­ generation and degradation. The grim story of oppressive rule over non-whites of succes­ sive white Governments in the Union of South Africa climaxed by the tyrannical rule of the Nationalist Party Government, which-has plagued the Union of South Africa for eight hard years, has confronted non-whites of the Union with inescapable challenge: either they meet it fearlessly to their honour and the salvation of South Africa or evade it to their dying 2/... Luthuli's Address. - 2 - shane and the desecration of our beloved land, South Africa. may I refer pointedly to the Indian connunity and ask you of -is connunity why Providence brought your forebears to South ^irica. wr.s it just to help the white nan to exploit self­ ishly tne wealth of this country? Was it just to help some of you to exploit its wealth too? ■<*as it just that the majority as ordinary hunble folk should nake a living? It night have been for all this - yes - but certainly it was or t" worthier cause than these. It v/as to harness the Indian onnumty m building in this land a tradition that respects virtuous conduct and noble hunan values since it is only u-oon such values that a young country like South Africa could build a civilisation worthy of a country that lays clain to Christ­ ianity and the best in the so-called Western civilisation. When we are faced with a Governnent that is carrying out a policy that is a negation of all that-is best and noble in a civilised countrys justice, fairplay, it is tine you in co-operation with other decent people in the land stood up unequivocally in defence - not of your property or property rights, but of your souls and hunan values that are being trodden underfoot by the Nationalist Party Governnent and those white people who unfortunately accept tte leadership of the Nationalist Party when it cones to the treatment of non- wnites; unfortunately at present such whites forn an over­ whelming majority of the White connunity, in the Union of South Ainca. Fortunately for you, you are well equipped for this noble but most exacting task that you have as your guide - as your in­ spiration - as your fount of sustenance in such testing times ttu noble tradition of resistance to tyranny of your leaders here m the land of your forebears; you have the undying ex­ ample of devotion to and sacrifice for a noble cause of your illustrious leaders? your Mahtma Gandhis, your Nehrus, your Jeenas and others here and in India. You dare not fail them for failing them is failing the best m life - Liberty”, for which they and others throughout the ages everywhere have sacrificed all to secure it and preserve 1 U • We young fighters for Freedom of this age stand between these heroes of freedom and posterity and our bounden duty is to deiend and preserve this Divine heritage - "Liberty" and all it stands for and hand it unimpaired to generations yet to be, Remember the inspiring words of an English poet I always like to refer to in such a connection.

  • Throughout the 1950S the Liberal Party of South Africa Suffered Severe Internal Conflict Over Basic Issues of Policy and Strategy
    Throughout the 1950s the Liberal Party of South Africa suffered severe internal conflict over basic issues of policy and strategy. On one level this stemmed from the internal dynamics of a small party unequally divided between the Cape, Transvaal and Natal, in terms of membership, racial composftion and political traditon. This paper and the larger work from which it is taken , however, argue inter alia that the conflict stemmed to a greater degree from a more fundamental problem, namely differing interpretations of liberalism and thus of the role of South African liberals held by various elements within the Liberal Party (LP). This paper analyses the political creed of those parliamentary and other liberals who became the early leaders of the LP. Their standpoint developed in specific circumstances during the period 1947-1950, and reflected opposition to increasingly radical black political opinion and activity, and retreat before the unfolding of apartheid after 1948. This particular brand of liberalism was marked by a rejection of extra- parliamentary activity, by a complete rejection of the univensal franchise, and by anti-communism - the negative cgaracteristics of the early LP, but also the areas of most conflict within the party. The liberals under study - including the Ballingers, Donald Molteno, Leo Marquard, and others - were all prominent figures. All became early leaders of the Liberal Party in 1953, but had to be *Ihijackedffigto the LP by having their names published in advance of the party being launched. The strategic prejudices of a small group of parliamentarians, developed in the 1940s, were thus to a large degree grafted on to non-racial opposition politics in the 1950s through an alliance with a younger generation of anti-Nationalists in the LP.

  • Tusxegee, the Joint Councils, and the All Aprican Convention
    TUSXEGEE, THE JOINT COUNCILS, AND THE ALL APRICAN CONVENTION by Baruch Hirson In June 1936 Heaton Nicholls, Member of Parliament for Zululand, asad member of the Native Affairs Commission (NAC), launched an attack on the Joint Councils of Europeans and Natives for llcarryingon intensive propagandat' and taking Ifthe political stage in attacking the measure before the Committee [stage of the Nztive Billsltq.((L) Nicholls was inCen.sed and charged that: It was the Joint Councils which organised the Bloemfontein Conference of Natives. They organised the whole of this agitation throughout the whole of .the country ... What is the difference between a Communist propagandist who believes that human happiness can be better furthered if people will only adopt his tenets, and the bishops and the judges who go around the country telling the Natives that if they will only join together and witate sufficiently, and believe that Parliament is animated by the worst possible repressive intentions they will be the happier for it. (2) W. H. Ramsbottom, chairman of the Johannesburg Joint Council, in a reply to Nicholls wmte to all members of parliament ayld to the press deqying the accusation. He stated that the Joint Councils had declared against the Native Bills in 1927 but thereafter had waited for the outcome of the deliberations of successive Committees appointed by Parliament. He claimed that his Council had acted with the U-tmost decorum and had been silent while the issue went before the Select Committee of the House, and had withheld all comment for over six months, to give the Secretary for Native Affairs and members of the NAC time to tour South Africa explaining the Bills to Native leaders.

    Chapter Two Chapter Two BLACK ORGANISATIONS EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL GROUPS ASSOCIATION FOR THE EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL ADVANCEMENT OF AFRICAN PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA (ASSECA) Background ASSECA WAS ESTABLISHED in 1967 through the efforts of the late Mr P.Q. Vundla and Mr M.T. Moerane. Initially Asseca was designed to operate mainly in the Reef area but the leadership soon saw the need for such an organisation to be established on a national basis. Asseca operates on a city/town branch basis. According to reports tabled at the 1972 Asseca Conference, the organisation has 19 branches in the Transvaal, Orange Free State, Eastern Cape and Western Cape whilst new branches are in the process of being formed in Natal. Each year these branches send delegates to a conference *which is the supreme policymaking organ for Asseca. The Conference elects an Executive of 9 members. The present Executive is headed by Mr M.T. Moerane as President. Activities In 1972 Asseca consolidated its drive to interest African people in the education of their children. A point by point account of the work done by Asseca in this field is dealt with in the chapter on Primary and Secondary Education (see Chapter 8). One of Asseca's goals is the establishment of a R 1 million fund for Educational and Cultural groups scholarships for African children. Although, according to some reports, not many scholarships were given at the beginning of the year, the 1972 Asseca Conference decided to give a total of 100 bursaries to each branch at R20 per scholarship. This is regarded as an interim measure whilst the R I million fund is being built up.

  • By John Lazar Balllol College Oxford University Michaelmas Term, 1987
    CONFORMITY AND CONFLICT: AFRIKANER NATIONALIST POLITICS IN SOUTH AFRICA, 1948-1961 by John Lazar Balllol College Oxford University Michaelmas Term, 1987 One of the principal themes of this thesis is that it is incorrect to treat M Afrikanerdom" as a monolithic, unified ethnic entity. At the time of its election victory in 1948, the National Party (NP) represented an alliance of various factions and classes, all of whom perceived their Interests in different ways. Given, too, that black resistance to exploitation and oppression increased throughout the 1950s, apartheid ideology cannot be viewed as an immutable, uncontested blueprint, which was stamped by the NP on to a static political situation. The thesis is based on four main strands of research. It is grounded, firstly, in a detailed analysis of Afrikaner social stratification during the 1950s. The political implications of the rapid increase in the number of Afrikaners employed in "white-collar" occupations, and the swift economic expansion of the large Afrikaner corporations, are also examined. The second strand of research examines the short-term political problems which faced the nationalist alliance in the years following its slim victory in the 1948 election. Much of the NP's energy during its first five years in office was spent on consolidating its precarious hold on power, rather than on the imposition of a "grand" ideological programme. Simultaneously, however, intense discussions - and conflicts - concerning the long-term implications, goals and justifications of apartheid were taking place amongst Afrikaner intellectuals and clergymen. A third thrust of the thesis will be to examine the way in which these conflicts concretely shaped the ultimate direction of apartheid policy and ideology.

  • EDITORIAL Re-Fighting the 2Nd Anglo-Boer War: Historians
    http://scientiamilitaria.journals.ac.za EDITORIAL Re-fighting the 2nd Anglo-Boer War: historians in the trenches nd Some one hundred years ago, South Africa was tom apart by the 2 Anglo- Boer War (1899-1902). The war was a colossal psychological experience fought at great expense: It cost Britain twenty-two thousand men anti £223 million. The social, economic and political cost to South Africa was greater than the statistics immediately indicate: at least ten thousand fighting men in addition to the camp deaths, where a combination of indifference and incompetence resulted in the deaths of 27 927 Boers and at least 14 154 Black South Africans. Yet these numbers belie the consequences. It was easy for the British to 'forget' the pain of the war, which seemed so insignificant after the losses sustained in 1914-18. With a long history of far-off battles and foreign wars, the British casualties of the Anglo-Boer War became increasingly insignificant as opposed to the lesser numbers held in the collective Afrikaner mind. This impact may be stated somewhat more candidly in terms of the war participation ratio for the belligerent populations. After all, not all South Africans fought in uniform. For the Australian colonies these varied between 4Y2 per thousand (New South Wales) to 42.3 per thousand (Tasmania). New Zealand 8 per thousand, Britain 8Y2 per thousand: and Canada 12.3 per thousand; while in parts of South Africa this was perhaps as high as 900 per thousand. The deaths and high South African participation ratio, together with the unjustness of the war in the eyes of most Afrikaners, introduced bitterness, if not a hatred, which has cast long shadows upon twentieth-century South Africa.

P. Tallboy, who has acted as secretary to the History for the last seven years, and whom I have to thank not only for the labour and research comprised in this volume, but for much useful assistance in the past. The index will, I hope, prove of real service to students of the war. The general principles on which it has been compiled are those with which the index to The Times has familiarized the public. The very full bibliography which Mr. Tallboy has collected may give the reader some inkling of the amount of work involved in the composition of this history. I cannot claim to have actually read all the works comprised in the list, though I think there are comparatively few among them that have not been consulted. On the other hand the list does not include the blue-books, despatches, magazine and newspaper articles, and, above all, private diaries, narratives and notes, which have formed the real bulk of my material.

  • A Few Thoughts on the Genesis of the Anglo-Boer War, 1899-1902
    JOERNAAUJOURNAL LESNIEWSKI A FEW THOUGHTS ON THE GENESIS OF THE ANGLO-BOER WAR, 1899-1902 Michal Lesniewski' In 1999 we celebrated the centenary of the beginning of the Anglo-Boer War. For the last hundred years specialists asked different questions related to this war. Since the start of the war they tried to find out how and why it had broken out 2 And how it happened that two small states dared to declare war against one of the greatest powers of that time. A war which they could not expect to win. There have been many theories which tried to explain the origins of this war, such as the threat of Afrikaner domination, a capitalistic conspiracy, and British determination to uphold its paramountcy in the region. They tried to evaluate which motives, politi­ cal or economic, were more essential. Some tried to find out who was responsible: J Chamberlain or A Milner. Of course many more questions have been asked, and many more problems discussed. But behind all of those another question is hidden: Was the Anglo-Boer War inevitable? Most specialists do not accept the notion of inevitability. Determinism in fact never was in fashion among historians. Most of them consider it to be simply non­ historical. Authors argue convincingly that the British govermnent was not deilberately preparing for war in 1899. One of the main arguments is reluctance of the British govermnent to engage in military preparations.3 In the introduction to I Smith's, The origins of the South African War, 1899-1902, the editor wrote "that war is never inevitable".
