NEW AGE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1960

It

is very pleasing to our

young African men so politically

conscious in the year 1960. The

African youth is now that

the question ofS o ut h Af rica IS no

exclusive concern of the White

minority alone, but of

Al.L

S.outh

Africans. At the same time It IS an

international question of common

concern to all the nat ions en

gaged in the nresent battle for

freedom against apartheid. It is a

concern to the emergent free

African states and the UNO which

have blazed the trail in showing

to the world in nractice now the

path of nation al liberation and

equality leads, not to weakness.

but to strength, and is of mutual

advantage to the former ruling

class and the former oppressed

subject.

South Africa s situation here

and abroad is very serious, but not

yet irreparable. It is up to you,

my brothers, to show by word or

deed that you hate nobody but

evil.

It

was Caliban (Tempest) who

said to his master, Y ou taught

Mr , Oliver Tambo .

Th is Front repr esents a broad the

African National Congress, the Pan

African ist Congress, the South Afri

can Indian Congress and the South

West Afric a National U nion.

As far as aid for the South Afri

can struggl e is c onc erne d, the

a ttitude of the East and Central

Af rican organisations was expressed

in a reso lution adopte d at the con

ference of the Pan Af rican Free dom

Movement for East and Central

Africa held in Uganda five weeks

ago, The resol ution pledged to give

support and aid to So ut h Afr ican

stri v ing to co-o rdinate all kinds of

Africa n freedo m act ivities on an

Africa-wi de basis , and it is an idea

tha t Af rica could eventu ally evolve

as one single un ited entit y.

The African Nation al Congress of

South Africa was one of the first

organisat io ns in A fr ic a to put

for

ward th is idea. Our slogan 'Mayi

buye 'iAfrika'- A fr ica must come

back to us- reflects this Pan

Af'ricanism. We never say 'Mayi

buv e i South Afr ica. ' Indeed, in all

ANC free dom songs we sa ng ab out

Af rica and not just South

Africa.

Th e Afri can Na tional Congress

was one of th e spo nsor s of the firs t

All- African People's Conference.

An d even ear lier than that , before

the headquart e rs of the movemen t

came

back to Afr ica itse l f, the ANC

took part in the fifth

ON THE NATURE OF OUR

cont en t i s t he t ra ns ition from

capitalismto Socialisminitiated by

the October Revolution, is a t im e

of struggle between two opposing

social systems,

revolutions and national-liberation

the socialist path, of the triumph

of socialism ona wor ldscale.

of the former colonies by new

methods and in new forms.

The alliance of t he working

class and the

is the most

important forcein wlriningandde

the basis of a broad national front.

The exten t t o whichthe national

bourgeoisie participatesin the l ibe

ration struggle also depends to no

smal l

degree upon i t s strength and

stability.

A b ig role can be played by the

national-patriot ic forc es, b y al l

elements of the nation prepared to

fight for national independence,

against i mperialism.

DUAL NATURE

In present conditions, the

national bourgeoisie of the colo

cornplishment

of the principal

tasks of anti-imperial is t , ant i

feudal revolution, and therefore

can participate in the revolution

ary struggle against imperialism

and feudalism. In that sense it is

progressive. But it is unstable;

though progressive,i t is incl ined

to compromise with imperialism

and feudalism.

Owing to i ts d ua l n at ur e, t he

extent to which the national bour

geois e participates in revolution

differs from count ry to country.

This depends on concrete condi

The colonial Powers never be

The United S ta te s is the main

The

This,they say, is the most press

unprecedented destructive power

of modern weapons.

Dealing with the war danger. the

statement says: Imperialism has

already infl cted two devastating

warson mankind, andnow threat

ensto plunge itinto an even worse

catastrophe.

Monstrous means of mass

annihilation and desruction have

beend eveloped which, i f used in a

destruction to entirecountries and

reduce key centres of worldindus

Butthough the nature of impe

forcesh ad appeared that are cap

able

ot foil ing

its plans of aggres

sion. The

impenahsts

can no

longer decide at willwhether there

should be a w ar.

For mon th s now we have been told tha t the Soviet Union and China are at loggerheads

over international policy. The Western presscon tinuallyas sert that China wants war. while the

Soviet Union favours peacefulco-existence. The recent mee ting in Moscow of representatives of

Communi st Parties fr om 81countries. including al l the top Sovie t leaders a nd a strong Chinese

group headed by Liu

was widely commented on. Yet wben the conference finally

agreed UNANIMOUSLY on-a statement that s etsout the Communist view of present interna

In the course of this terror cam'

wound in his hand when he was

attacked by the Chief's roving

bands. Another was saved bv his

neighbours who came to his help in

response to an SOS by his wifc

when Stanford's armed men sur'

a

few days before the latter's

death, New Age was told that the

police used a gas which dazed the

neo ple for some time and rendered

them helpless . Some of those who

have had experience told New Age

that it was not tear J as.

Although the official reports at the

time said that the Pondos surprised

at the meetina at Esicodlweni stoned

the police. the people's spokesmen

said that two of their men were

stabbed with an assezai by Vukayi

barnbe while the nolice looked on,

that one man was shot in the leg.

ann that ano ther died late r from

bullet wounds,

Those who have heen

studvinc

the trend of events in the reserves

know that the Gove rnment

appointed chiefs are unwanted men

and that they are not in a position

to muster any sizeable guards

around them to beat and shoot

people into accepting Bantu Autho

rities. Hence the

de spe ra te

recourse

to the police and army.

Some people from the Irnizizi

locat ion told New Aae that these

roving bands were commanded ncr

sonally

bv the late Stanford and- his

half-brother. Gciningwe, The bands

are said to have beenchan ting songs

and boast inz that with zuns from

the Government they would raze

mountains to the ground.

The spokesmen told New Age

that if the Government had not kept

on fanning the fire, and playing off

the chiefs against the people, the

differences would have long ago

heen ironed out amicably.
