African StudentsHave No Freedom
Arrested For BeingUnemployed?
Why should an African bearre sted for not working at thistime of mass unemployment? Weare forced to do work on themines and far ms and other unskilled .job s by the pass laws.
I am working with Whites anddoing the same job as they do,yet my pay is only £18.17.2 permo nth whereas they earn.£85.19.11. Yet in the shops we paythe same prices fur what we want.From the age of ten our youngboys are made to work instead ofattending schools and gettingeducation.
Let us stop this starv ation andsuicide which we have to endureby co-operating with the workers'trade unions in SACTU and b)lsmashing the pass laws,
We shall never get freedomwithout a struggle. We must notbe afraid of arrests, loss of jobs,kidnappings, bannings or beingexiled.

weakness. They cannot tolerate theslightest deviation in their ownranks, as witness the re cent purgeof the SABRA executive and thefantastic heresy trial of Prof.Geyser. That such measures arerequired today shows that even theNa tionalist faithful are beginningto waver as the pressure uponthem is intensified.
Tough Fight AheadThis is no time, however. for
illusions. The Nationalist ba rdcore remain in power , insanelyfanatical, determined, if necessary.to go down fighting rather thanreverse their policies. Just as theimperialist warmongers scream:" Rather death than communism,'so do the Nat die-hards echo" Rather death than communism,"
In both cases the eventual outcome is not in doubt. Most peoplewant to live, not to die for lostcauses. A p a I' th e i d will bedestroyed,
The election result means thatthe fight will be a toug h one. Bu~
the people of South Africa, suppressed hy force, hounded andhumiliated at every tur n, are nowmore than ever determined to faceup to thc tasks of resistance whichmust be undertaken if we are tosee freedom in our lifetime.
Having recently visited bothracial and multi-racial universities,and having spoken with professorsand students, I have gained a picture of just how much universityapartheid is abhorred .
At the tribal university ofPietersburg students live underdetestable conditions . The y are notallowed to affiliate with studentsof other universities and may noteven communicate with such student bodies as NUSAS . Studentsmay read no political newspapersbut must be content with BADpublications.
In contrast, the non-white students at Wits University enjoyalmost comple te freedom.
In removing Africans from suchuniversities the Nati onalist Government is preparing to trainstooges who will carry out itsBantustan policies.
Fellow Africans, do not be blindand all ow yourselves to be led toa blank wall by Maree.

Hollow VictoryNo body shou ld be downcast by
a Nationalist election victory. Itis a hollow victory, which canbring no joy to the victors becauseit has been pr ocured by trickeryand is not ba sed on the genuinesupport of the ma jority of thepeople. It is stilJ the Nati onalists'Saracens , an d not their votes,which are the obvious source oftheir power.
The isolation of the NationalistGovernme nt has never been morecomplete than it is now. At homethey are hated by all sections ofthe non-Nationalist population.White and Black. who have to endure their domination. Abroad,world opinion is steadily hardcniruagainst South Africa.
The very rigidity of the Nationalists is a further sign of their

Tough Methods Came Where ELse in the WorLd
With The Republic is OneBefore the Repu blic was _ _
formed we worked very well asoffice cleaners, bu t after the declarat ion of the Repub lic, misunder-t
standing arose between the whitefore man and the African workers.
We were told that we wouldnow only have four holidays ayear. At that time , some of us refused to come to work and a day'spay was deducted.
The workers came together anddecided to see the boss and spoketo the foreman, Immediately after,one worker who was suspected ofbeing a leader, was dismisved,When tension mo unted the caretaker was called in to explain.T hey asked whe ther they wouldstill have their three weeks leave'!No. Would they work a five-dayweek? No.
The workers again asked to seethe boss but were refused andwere warned that if they did notcome to work on Octobe r 10 (apublic holiday) they would losetheir jobs.
The cleaners are shocked atthese measures which ha ve comewith the new Republic.

THE ELECTION RESULT
A REPLY TOMR. MASE
The result of the election islikely to be twofold. On the onehand. a section of the antiNationalist opposition is likely tothrow in the towel, believing thatthe last possibility of removing theNationa lists from power by constitutional means has gone. Therewill be a few more Warings, Barlows, N ossels, Dollies and Matanzimas to jump on the Natio nalistbandwagon, while the NUP -UnitedParty opposition stews in impotent sterility.
PolarisationOn the other hand, the election
result will complete the disillusionment of the majorit y of thepeople, Black and White, with theinstitutions of parl iamentary "democra cy" under the present set-upin South Africa. More and morelof those who want change inSouth Africa will realise that itmust be sought outside Parliament .because the majority of the peoplehave no vote. There will be anintensification of var ious forms ofdirect action designed to removethe Verwoerd dictatorshin frompower and smash the colour baronce and for all.

We Africans cannot have a,happy attitude to this election. Thespeeches of the candidates emphasise the need for more unity inour ran ks. We refuse to acceptsecond-hand citizenship in thecountry of our birth.
I warn the Go vernment tha t wewill not bear the frustra tion ofhaving our organisa tions bannedforever.
ZOLLIE Z. MAUND!Cape Town.
According to one of the CapeTown daily papers, Mr. C. Mase,Secretary of the Af rican GeneralWorkers' Union, is reported tohave sta ted at a public meeting inW ynb erg , that African s will accept a qualified franchise if thequa lifications apply to all races.
Evidently Mr. Mase is speakingfor himself and the members ofhis union because no self-respecting African accepts a qualifiedfranchise if it means educationa land financial qualifications.
It is a trick of the oppressors toset qualifications for the franchisebecause they know perfectly wellthat they have denied educat ionto the African and closed all thedoors of economic advance tohim.
A qualified fra nchise is onlymeant to prolo ng white domination which is tota lly rejected bythe Africans. We empha ticallydemand , one man one vote. Theonly qualification acceptable to usis the age qualification; that is aman or woman, irrespective ofrace, colour or creed, should be18 years or over to qualify for thevote, and no other qualification.

EDITORIAL
The present election is nodifferent from preceding ones inthat it seeks pel netual subordination of the Black people. andWhile oraanisations must shareresponsibility for the ultimateoutcome.
The Natio nalists can have aclear conscience because they donot conceal what they want to dowith the Blacks.
But other op position par tieskeep vacillating between realitiesand the concept of race superior ity. The Nat ionalist Governmenthas at least given us no room forcompromise.
What strikes one as extremelyfunny is the wasting of thousands of nounds on the electionwhile many suffer from unemployment and starvation, and all toreturn the same government topower with its costly aparth eid.Why not simply give them theright to ca rry Oil for another termwithout all this expense?

Govt. TeachingUs Violence
In our struggle for freedom wehave always been non-violent.Despite our non-violence we havebeen called the intimidator s andagitators by the Government.
But it IS we, the Blacks ofSouth Africa, who are being intimidated. In some cases, such asSharpeville, even shot in coldblood. In all our efforts for abetter South Africa we are facedwith sara cens, guns and otherweapons.
We must learn that unity is theimportant thing. Under the present Go vernment we are oppressed, driven back to tribalism byBantu Education and Bantustans.We must continu e fighting for ouremancipation and for a multiracial country until our aim isachieved.

The secretary of the Amanzimnyama Tenants' Association, Mr. G.Ramsamy, states that in spite of thefact that a large number of peoplehave been living in these areas formany years, no serious attempt hasbeen made by the Durban CityCouncil to improve the lot of thepeople.
"... the people have been besetwith many oroblerns, such as badroads. insufficient communal taps,recreational facilities etc."
Detailing the names of certainroads and lanes, the letter statesthat at normal times these roadsare in a deplorable condition.
"After rainfall, they becomewater-logged and consequently become impassable. It is no exaggeration to say that in most cases the I

Demanding that these roads behardened, the letter concludes: "Weshall be only too glad to assist you 'by personally conducting your representatives on a tour of the area," .

But the old boy was unableto foil the horde of flag-wavingSmashionalist supporters whohustled him into the privy yelling: "Vote for us and helpsmash the country." One ofthem even went so far as to puta penny in the slot so the Oubaas could vote, while othersthreatened that he would not belet out until he had shown themhis ballot paper.The remit was that the Smas"

Oubaas Turksvy, however, leftin a huff after telJing the DailyBlather that the elections were abig fraud as he had been led tobelieve that Mafeking had beenrelieved.
Colonel Paperbotham (KaffirWars, Rtd.) said that the Smashionalist victory only meant thatthe voters had been deluded intothinking that it was better tosmash the country than to disintegrate it.
"But it is a moral victory forus also," whined the Colonel."After all we and the Smashionalists really believe in the samethings."
Thereupon he stalked off to hisoffices in tbe Pampoen-onder-diebos Mining Company, followed byyoung Japie Washbasin, his newlyhired office-boy.

The following day, the newlyformed Communist Party called aprotest demonstration at the bottom of Adderley Street, condemning the action of the authorities on the pamphlet and the subsequent arrests as an "infr ingement of the right of free meetingand a deliberate attempt on thepart of the Government to suppre ss the facts of the Bullhoekaffair."

The ANC, drawing attention tothe fact that its offer to mediatewith the Israelites had been refused, protested strongly againstthe "pogrom' action of the authorities. It expressed doubt whetherthe Government would have takenthe same steps against Europeans,and announced that it would assistin the defence of the Israelites whowere left alive to face trial.
As a solemn demonstration ofprotest the Congress adjournedand marched in processionthro ugh the location, the bandplaying the Death March. A service was held for the dead.
The Government refused anenquiry. A film which had beentaken of the slaughter was suppressed.
The meeting passed a resolutionsaying: "T his meeting of CapeTown workers characterises theaction of the Government inshooting defenceless natives atBullhoek as wilful and wantonmurder. and calls on the workersof South Africa to organise forthe overthrow of the capitalistsystem which is alone responsiblefor the perpetuation of such actsof barbarism."
The resolution also demandedan enquiry and was forwarded tothe ICU (Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union) and theANC which was in session inBloemfontein at the time the massacre occurred.
The Social-Democratic Federation in Cape Town immediatelycalled a public meeting at the footof Adderley Street- their usualmeeting place. The meeting, whichwas attended by large numbers ofColoureds and Africans, was addressed by socialists Wilfrid Harrison, W. Dryburgh senior, and hisson, David, W. Green and S.Abrahams.

In 1920, after the Passover celebrations, the Israelites, instead ofleaving, built huts on the commonage and refused to move. Theysa id that, acting on God's orders,they were wailing for the end otthe world, which was nigh. In anycase, they argued, the ground wascommon property and no one hadthe fight to evict them.
Officials of the Native AffairsDepartment argued with the Israelites for several months. Theysaid that Municipal bye-laws forbade the establisnment of a location so near the town. ANCleaders also urged them to leave.
But the Israelites refused tobudge and contjnued to till theland, plant their crops on the common, and pay homage to theirLord.
Authorities WorriedThe Superintendent of Loca

Mr. Nightingale also charged atthe trial held later that theyshowed an absolute contempt forconstituted authority, and this washaving "a very serious effect onthe natives" in his district.
Finally the Native Affairs Department made good their threatsto use force, and in May 1921 theGovernment sent a large force of800 armed policemen and soldiersto surround the pious Africans,who numbered about 400. The
