Nelson Mandela was appointed national volunteerin-chief of the Defence Campaign; his deputy was
Maulvi cachalia whose father had been ne of the
bravest resisters alongside Gandhi in 1907.
Mandela toured the Cape, Natal and the Transvaal,
visiting houses in the township, explaining the
plans, sometimes talking through the night. His
task was to inspire people with confidence in their
ability to overcome oppression through a direct
non-violent challenge to the government. As always, there were the problems of being black in
small towns, no hotels or taxis for Africans, nor
were there telephone lines in township homes.
This meant walking miles to the location and
knocking on a likely looking door. Sometimes they
were welcomed by an enthusiastic stranger; sometimes rebuffed by the cautious.
