Verwoerd , witti ngly but unw illing, is once again plunging thecountry into crisis and opening up new battle fronts. He knowsvery well th at he is play ing with fire, yet has no opti on but topush ahea d.
Th e last word will rest with the peop le, in the Transkei a ndthroughout the country. They wi11 meet this cha llenge as theyhave met all previous challenges-by raising still higher both thelevel and the te mpo of thei r strugg le.
WHATEVER ZIG-ZAGS THAT PATH OF STRUGGLEMAY TAKE, THEY WILL NEVER FOR ONE MOMENTGIVE UP THEIR DE MAND FOR COMPLET E EQ UALI T YIN A MULTI-RACIAL, UNITED SOUTH AFRICA.
The announcement of Transkei"self-rule" by the Prime Ministeris the wolf in sheep's clothing.
He said that he was prepared togrant the territory an all-blackParliament and Cabinet but onlyto manage matters such as agriculture. education. health, socialservices. lands and roads.
Matters such as defence, foreig naffairs and justice, would remainunder the control of the SouthAfrican all-white Parliament untilthe Transkei aovemment becamecana blc of taking them over.
I appeal to the people of theTranskei that they should standfirm. They should not be bluffed.They should not accept the puppetgovernment in our territory.
The people of the Transkei havenroved themselves many times tohe good South African patriots.They want, as we all want, a 'free'T ranskei in a free South Africa.. We know that freedom cannever he realised or secured in oursub continent till white supremacyj'i abolished and equality of rightsestablished for all.

DISGUSTED
Equal Rights, NotIndependence
Many men are still in prison inthe Transkc i, and many others areheing deported to places wheretheir relatives cannot see them. 1myself have been detained onseven occas ions, the last time forfour months in terms of proclamation 400. Yet the spirit in theTra nskei is very high, as Mr. Gunyilc' s case showed.
Now we arc told that the Transkeian Territorial Authority- ahody chosen by no one but theGovernment and themselves- arcto draw up a draft constitutionfor the Trunskci .
Our leaders, who are ChiefLutul i, Professor Matthews andothers. are the ones who sho uldbe consulted.
We are opposed to Bantu Authorities, euphernisticallv calledself-government. When the chiefs'approached us we told them thatthe only solution to the problemsof our country i~ the summoningof a National Convention representative of all the people ofSouth Africa to draw up a democratic constitution.
We don't want independence forthe Transkei, We want a democratic government representa tiveof all the people.

r was disgusted by the speechmade by Dr. Verwoerd on theradio the other night, in which hesaid that separate developmentwas the key to everybody's future.
I was also disgusted to learnthat Matanzima is dancing toVerwoerd's tune. He is crazy tudance to that cha-cha-c ha!
Finally, I would appeal to theGovernment to stop calling usNatives or Bantu. We arc Africans ·not Bantus. We arc not foreigners.
May God bless the oppressedpeople of this country.

It is obvious that two-thirds ofboth Blacks and Whites do notknow what is taking place behindthe iron curtain of apartheid. Thmust depend on their leaders totell them the truth, so that theymay prepare themselves. It is Jhedriver who knows where andwhen the petrol will run out.
By way of trying to intimidate anddiscou rage the freedom fighters,Verwoerd was compelled tu tellhis people that the white man willbe superior to the black man forever. whereas he knows, as muchas Chief Lutuli knows, that thewhite man's rule in South Africais hanging by a thread thinnerthan a spider's.
When white supremacy is replaced by democracy it is not theblack, nor the white leaders, whowill be affected, but the majorityof the whites who have been ledinto teaching their children thatthey will be the bosses of theblacks for at least 300 years.
Let our leaders telI the truth."HONEST"

One wonders why our government is prepared to spend R20m.on arms whcn this sum of moneycould be utilised for providinghomes. schools, hospitals, librariesand numerous other facilities forthe 13 million citizens of ourcountry.
The argument which is continually put forward by Nationalistsi<; that such a plan is absolutelyessential in order to crush a possible Black uprising, and protectthe White people. The real reasonis that, due to the world con dern -
. natlon of Apartheid this government has become desperate andwants to crush all opposit ion .
I am convinced that such largesums spent on arms factor ies ista ntamount to open hostilitytoward the Non-whites of SouthAfrica.

Tie British Gove rnment is co ntinully prolonging the date for ase tthnent of the Northern Rhodesian Co nstitutio n. Wh at is behindth e Ielay is difficult to see. Briti shpo liy in No rth ern Rh od esia ismua influenced by events in theCorro and she is probably awaiting he outcome of a solution tot he latter problem before takinga ny decisive steps.
A any rate , the Con stitutionthat seems likely at this stag e isthe amous 15:15:15-black, whiteand indeterminate, Kenneth Kaunda, eader of the popular UNIP,is r:pidly 10iing patience with the

1 lis is a serious th reat to th er ulec of Northern Rhodesia. AI·read, und er the first stage of thecarnpign, a government commission report has admitted that insome areas the government haslost ont rol to UNIP and th at support 'or UNIP has s prea d to every
town and village, despite a policyof police and army bru tal ity andsho oting of civilians.
SouthernRhodesia
Southern Rhodesia is perh aps a tits most critical stage . A serio ussp lit between the trade un ions a ndthe national movement has become a possibility, an d it was withthe hope of widening this divisio nthat the government took the stepof banning the NDP.
In the las t few yea rs the go vernment has adopted legislat ion giving recognition to the participationof Afric an work ers in th e tradeunion organisations, se tti ng upmachin er y fo r industrial con cilia t ion.
A trad e uni on lead er by th enam e of Reu ben Ja mela hasappeared on the scene.

JOHA NNESB URG.MR. John Gama, from Mala-
wi (Nyasaland), was runover and killed by a lorry inthe streets of Johannesburg onDecember 22. He was buried bythe Government on January 11,although his family had notbeen informed, either of hisdeath or of the burial plans.
Mr. Gama, who was a cousin ofMr. Kondi Kulisewa, the Genera lSecretary of the Malawi CongressParty in South Africa, and himselfthe Chairman of the Alexandrabra nch, did not have a pass 011 himwhen he was killed. The policemortuary told the family of thebereaved man. when thc~ finallywent there on January 20 aftersearching everywhere desperately forhim, that he had been identifiedfrom fingerprints.
UPSETThe family is greatly u pset that
no attempt was made to find thembefore the burial. They wonder ' wbythe matter was not given some pubIicitv by the police in the Press (asis always done when a dead Whiteperson cannot be identified); andwhy they and their possible wisheswere completely i~ored.
It is now hoped that sufficientmoney can be found to send 'Mr.Gama's live-year-old son baek toMalawi for vchoolinu.
