It is very pleasing to our
young African men so politically
conscious in the year 1960. The
African youth is now that
the question ofSout h Af rica IS no
exclusive concer n of the White
minority alone, but of Al.L S. outh
Africans. At the same time It IS an
international questi on of common
concern to 'all the nat ions en-
gaged in the nresent battle for
freedom against apar theid. 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 situat ion 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

Let me tr v to set out the facts:
Th e African National Con gress is
officiall y rep resented on the steering
committee of the All Afri can Peo-
ple's Conference, and its delegat e
was elected to this posi tion at the
Tunis conference early in 1960.
UN ITED FR ONT
The Sout h Afr ican Un ited Fr ont
abroa d, of which I am a member,
is composed of former top ra nking
officials of both bodi es. Th e leader
of the Front. for examp le, now at
I
heard by the Trusteeship Council,
is the former ANC vice-pres ident
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 Union.
As far as aid for the South Afri
can struggl e is concerned, the
attit ude of the East and Central
Af rican or ganis ations was expressed
in a reso lution adopte d at the con-
ference of the Pan Af rican Free dom
Movement for East and Centr al
Africa held in Uga nda five weeks
ago, The resol ution pledged to give
suppo rt and aid to South Afr ican
stri ving to co-o rdinate all kinds of
Africa n fre edom act iviti es on an
Africa-wi de basis , and it is an idea
that Af rica could eventu ally evolve
as one single un ited entit y.
The Afr ican Nation al Congress of
South Afr ica was one of the first
organisations in Africa to put for'
ward this idea. Our slogan ' Mayi-
buye ' iAfrika' - Africa must come
back to us- reflects this Pan-
Af'ricanism. We never say 'Mayi-
buv e i South Africa.' Indeed, in all
ANC freedom songs we sang ab out
Af rica and not just South Africa.
Th e Afri can Na tional Congress
was one of the sponsors of the first
All- African People's Conference.
An d even ear lier than t hat , before
the headquart ers of the movement
came back to Africa itself, the ANC
took part in the fifth Pan-African

ON THE NATURE OF OUR
EPOCH: "Our time, whose main
content is the transition from
capitalism to Socialisminitiated by
the October Revolution, is a time
of struggle between two opposing
social systems, a time of Social ist
revolutions and national-liberation
revolutions, a time of the break-
down of imperialism, of the aboli-
tion of the colonial system, a time
of transition of more peoples to
the socialist path, of the triumph
of socialism on a world scale."
of the former colonies by new
methods and in new forms.
The alliance of the working
class and the peasa ntry is the most
important force in wlriningand de-
fending national independence, ac-
complishing far-reaching democra-
tic transformations and ensuring
social progress. This alliance forms
the basis of a broad national front.
The extent to which the national
bourgeoisie participates in the libe-
ration struggle also depends to no
smal l degree upon its strength and
stability.
A big role can be played by the
national-patriotic forces, by all
elements of the nation prepared to
fight for national independence,
against imperialism.
DUAL NATURE
In present conditions, the
national bourgeoisie of the colo-

connected with imperialist circles

cornplishment of the principal
tasks of anti-imperialist, anti-
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, it is inclined
to compromise with imperialism
and feudalism.
Owing to its dual nature, the
extent to which the national bour-
geoisie participates in revolution
differs from country to country.
This depends on concrete condi-
tions, on changes in the relation-

The colonial Powers never be-
stow freedom on the colonial
peoples and never leave of their
own free will the countries they
are exploiting.
The United States is the main-
stay of colonialism today. The im-
perialists, headed by the U.S.,
make desperate efforts to preserve
colonial exploitation of the peoples
'The superiority of the forces 01
Socialism over those of Imperial-
ism, of the forces of peace over
those of war, is becoming ever
more marked in the international
arena."
This, they say, is the most press-
ing task today, because or the
unprecedented destructive power
of modern weapons.
Dealing with the war danger. the
statement says: "Imperialism has
already inflicted two devastating
wars on mankind, and now threat-
ens to plunge it into an even worse
catastrophe.
"Monstrous means of mass
annihilation and destruction have
been developed which, if used in a
new war, can cause unheard-of
destruction to entire countries and
reduce key centres of world indus-
try and culture to ruins."
But though the nature of impe-
rialism had not changed, "r eal
forces had appeared that are cap-
able ot foilin g its plans of aggres-
sion." The impen ahsts can no
longer decide at will whether there
should be a war.
For months now we have been told that the Soviet Union and China are at loggerheads
over international policy. The Western pr ess continua lly assert that China wants war. while the
Soviet Union favours peaceful co-existence. The recent meeting in Moscow of representatives of
Communi st Parties from 81 countries. including all the top Soviet leaders and a strong Chinese
group headed by Liu Shao-chi, was widely commented on. Yet wben the conference finally
agreed UNANIMOUSLY on-a statement that sets out the Communist view of present interna-
tional affairs, our daily press carri ed no more than one paragraph on it.

the world today, we print a digest of the statement.

Stanford Mditshwa together with his
brother. Gciningwe, is reported to
have unleashed a campaign of ten or
in the Irnizizi location.
In the course of this terr or cam'
paign a man received a bullet
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'
rounded his home.
Fro m the home of another tribes-

killed fowls whose feathers they
plucked on the spot.
GOVERNMENT FANNED FIRE
At a meeting which was hroken
un by the police and Vukayibambe
a few days before the latter's
death, New Age was told that the
police used a gas which dazed the
neople 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 repor ts 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 another died later 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 spera 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 been chanting songs
and boastinz 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.
Pressed to sav how this could
have hannencd, ihe snokc smcn said
that If 'thc chiefs and thc !,eoplc
