COMPOUND ADMINI STRATION:' There has been great improvement in this matter. The

Compound Manager is for all intents and purposes the father and adviser of the Native Labourer. In the main he has to deal with an extraordinary diversity of tribes. In any compound there are as may as 24- different tribee with their cognate branches and each with its own characteristics. It is hard to imagine the thoughts that must go through the mind of a compound manager who is alive to this fact. His education begins when he is first appointed and only ends with his retirement. Yet with all this one cannot help feeling that he does his best to make the labourer feel at home. With him it is not only a matter of trying to give good food and clean quarters, he makes an effort to keep in personal touch with the workers in the compound as well as giving them unfettered access to his office where they are encouraged to lay their troubles whether they be local or from home. Very often the labourer has his home troubles sorted out by this official, who, even goes to the length of corresponding with the Commissioner or Magistrate in the native areas. In fact, he is incessantly on the job 24- hours in the day and so are his indunas and police boys.

HEAD BOYS:TEe system of having head boys in the room is an excellent

one. They feel a certain amount of responsibility and they are very helpful in keeping the peace in the room and of bringing to the notice of the compound manager matters requiring his attention and bearing on the contentment of his charges, or any complaints.

F0LIC5 BOYS:

Police Boys are no longer allowed to carry sticks and sjamboks. Their most valuable contribution is through representa­tion. Although of course, when there is trouble they Intervene to stop It, even in this they nearly always do it by persuasion and rarely have to use force. They never use force In fact, unless they are confronted with force. They are selected so that every tribe is represented. The old oppressive methods have gone. In my compound in fact, there has for years been no such thing as a detention chamber or cell. The attitude of the Compound Manager is that the compound is run for the comfort and contentment of the law-abiding native, using as his standard the same high standard the African people have set themselves in their homes.I consider that this type of native represents about 95$ t*16 compound population on any mine, and this measures the degree of their general contentment. The remainder are taken in hand, first by persuasion and then by the example of the law-abiding one8, and after that through the Law Courts. If they are incorrigible they are weeded out as opportunity arises for the good of the general population.

Discipline is strict against the man who endangers the peace and quiet of the compound: otherwise there are as few restrictions as possible. Football and tennis are encouraged for the urban type, and native dances for tribal natives, as activity is not only apparent on the mines, but sponsored by the Head Office itself. In regard to the tribal type of native, his traditions and customs are taken into full account and consideration by the Compound Manager. When one considers the large numbers of tribes Involved, the loyalty and behaviour of the native is very encouraging and must be based on some real and large degree of contentment. This state of affairs is further borne out by the fact that underground natives of the tribal and urban type come back to the mine time after time. Of the urban type who have become detribalised, many of them have been working on the mine as clerks; in the surface works and underground for ten, fifteen and twenty years. A number have grown too old for productive

work, but the Company would not hear of their repatriation and has retained them on nominal surface work on the grounds that they have given their life to the Company and have no other home.

ATTITUDE OF MINERS; The attitude of a good number of miners to­wards the native is gradually "becoming more humane than has been the case in the past. There are many cases of real goodwill that have grown up between the miner and the native. It is nothing to a miner to give his house address to a native worker to visit him whenever he wishes to, and there he is treated with encouraging consideration. It would be' a great pity to break this friendship which is really God-inspired. The miner shows this more in cases of accidents. He casts all cares aside to help extricate a Native worker pinned under a rock, and if death happens to inter­vene his regret and sympathy are unbounded. The question of colour is completely forgotten and all efforts are made to 6ave the life of a fellow human being. Not enough credit can be given to the miner, be he white or black, when engaged in rescue work. Their singleness of purpose Is a very grand thing to see.

INDUNA:The question of the Induna is an important one, and I feel

that the Industry might consider the -practice of selection. It seems to me that the Induna should be a man of education. On my mine the general background of the administration adopted by the Compound Manager is that, as far as possible, the natural helrarchy of the native tribes should be employed.

The Policy of administration (and I have already shown that It must take into consideration some 20 odd tribes) Is therefore originated by the Compound Manager and circulated through the

'Induna; to the Police, to the Room Head, and finally to the mass of natives. This corresponds to the native custom of origin with the chief through his Induna, ffco the Headsmen, to the ?Zraal Heads, to the inmates of the kraal. That is the basis of our policy.From this it will be seen that the Inr’una1 s job is to translate the Compound Manager's policy to a large number of different tribes. To do this he must be capable of grasping the underlying principles and passing them on in a way understood by each section. It seems to me that if the Compound Manager is required to handle this tribal mixture with vision and considered thought, it is Just as necessary that his Induna should be capable of grasping his reason­ing and ideals and putting them before the police boys ahd the mass of natives. Above all things he must be capable of treating all tribes equally and more important still of convincing all that he really is unprejudiced. I hold that this makes it necessary for him not only to be educated, but well educated arid well iraiied.Ke Is a big factor in successful compound management, .In this capacity many small matters of a personal nature can be brought before him and disputes settled between native and native in a manner familiar to them and according to their customs, Just as they are settled by headsmen and chiefs at home. On my ■ Mine this is a recognised policy and contributes a great deal to our harmony and contentment. In this way we leave ooen an avenue that can be freely aooroached for the expression of any difficulties within the compound or personal cases that may be engendering unhappiness. In this Khotla or court, all natives are given the privilege of examining witnesses no matter to what tribe those in the dispute belong, thus giving them all a feeling that they have a share in the administration of their affairs, and part and parcel of our mine life . The compound manager is kept informed and if necessary his decision is called for. In this case he too, deals with the matter as much as possible from the point of view of native custom.

- 5 -

The Induna must live outside the compound where he will be accessible to all.

I have tried to review the conditions under which Mine natives live and work. I feel that on the whole they are fairly comfortable and happy. The last few years have seen changes made both from a physical and mental point of view. No doubt it will still be possible to improve even these, if so,I hope it would be done. I know how sympathetic the Mine managements are toward the native and realise what a lot they have done for their employees. Nevertheless, I do hope they will still be able to continue this progressive improvement, for the task is a very large one and its responsibility is constantly expanding.

I have the honour to be, Sir,'

Your obedient servant,

The Secretary, Advisory Board, Municipal location,

Dear S ir ,

YOU w ill , no doubt, have seen in the daily press of today's date, the report issued by the Minister of Justice of discussions between him and ourselves odd. the subject of the relationship of the police and the African population in our urban areas*

These discussions were, in fact , the continuation of discussions between us and the Minister originating last year in the agitation over the so-called crime wave; but they have assumed additional direction and purpose lately as a resull of recent police activities in this city and elsewhere on the Reef and in Pretoria, The immediate outcomc is the decision of the Minister to call a small Conference of representative Africans and Europeans and of the police under his own Chair­manship, At this Conference, it is proposed to discuss not only the general question of how relations between the police and the African population might be improved but also the possibility of reducing the points of conflict between the police and the urban Africans which now exist under our Urban Areas legislation and administration.

with As a preliminary to this Conference, and by agreement 7 , +x,rj MlrH tro-crnxx a meeting of represent­

ative •Various locations and townships in Johannesburg,Pro Qi.ui ancl on tlie Reei 'to get hep with an enlarged group of interested iiuropeans, so that the whole situation in regard to tne relations between the police and the African population may be fu lly discussed from the African point of view. The purpose o_L this plan is to ensure that the fullest use may be made of the M inister's Conference to present the whole case

Ai.ric ins, together with all suggestions for improvement Dj- the position which the Africans themselves may have to offer. ^In pursuance of the plan, we invite the Advisory Boards in each area to select two representatives from their area to attend a meeting at the Bantu Men’ s Social Centre, jiloff Street Extension, at 2 .30 p.m . on Saturday afternoon,June 26th.-"

/e trust your Board will co-operate with us in this matter and will nominate two Africans to attend this meeting.,/e should be glad to have your acknowledgment of this letter to Mrs. M. Ballinger at the above address, and ,if possible, the names of your nominees.

We are,

Yours fa ith fu lly ,

We should like to draw your attention to a project which, has

■been sponsored "by the Association of European and African women. This Assoc­

iation has long "been awrvre of the need to provide convalescent care for African

children - healthy surroundings, nourishing food, carefroe recreation and all

those things that a congested location environment and a poverty stricken home

cannot givo.The Association has accordingly established the Margaret Ball­

inger HoraE which has been opened as a holiday homo for Bantu children, who are

no longer in need of hospital attendance, but in noed of rest, change and

pleasant surroundings.* Situated on a lovely farm near Roodepoort, it accommodates 20

children for a holiday of from two to six weeks, as circumstances demand. Very

shortly, alterations to oxisting "buildings will make it possible to have 50

children at a tine. The home is under tho supervision of Mr. and Mrs. Adler

who arc assistod by a competent African matron and staff. Already some 40

children have bencfittcd greately from the happy environment, homo grown

vegetables and special caro, and tho Association would like to extend this

scrvico to more and more children.There is , however, difficulty in choosing tho most deserving

cases from among tho very largo number of children in need of rest and care and

wo should appreciate your help. If you know of any children, boys betweon 6 &

10, girls between 6 & 16, living anywhere on the Reef or Pretoria, who havo boen

i l l , but whose economic circumstances prevent them from getting such a change,

refer them to your nearest clinic or hospital doctor, and ask that an application

be sent to the Supervisor, The Margaret Ballinger Home, Box 233, Roodepoort. / / /

ITo child will bo admitted without a medical certificate stating

that ho/she is freo from infection.Anyone who is interested is invited to come to the homo and see

the work that is boing done* .

Dear Sir/Mmlain,

The enclosed statement was prepared by the Executive of the African National Business Association in order tc acquaint al the members of the Association with what is happening in The African . Business World" . The Executive of this Association now sends this statement tc you in order to invite your interest in connection with

the difficulties which confront the Af:ricans in their a1b^ “^ di L find for themselves a place in the Economic World In ^rw arding this statement to you, the Executive hopes that you w ill do all ^ your power to assist in advocating for the repeal of the Union Income Tax Act in so far as it affects the African Poll-Tax payer.

We feel very strongly that the South African Government, in extending the Union Income Tax beyond its known boundaries, is act

ing in a manner that has caused a great deal of dlsc° n^®nJ'hprnI°J f £ Africans We, therefore, contend that the extension of the Union_ S S f t a so is to affect the African business man is an unfair piece

of legislation .

Chief Tshefeedi Kharoa,P.O.SEROJffi,Bechuanaland Protectorate.

My dear Chief and friend,

I wish to thank you for your letter of recentdate.

I failed to reply immediately,as I was tied up with the arrangement a of a function staged to raise funds for the African National Congress,

I an glad that you are int rested. The whole idea is that the Africans in the Union,including the Africans in the Protectorates or Hl^h Commissioners* territories, have been invited, us the list I sent you will show, after examining various Post-War Reconstruction Plans, to out­line their disabilities and draft their "Bill of Rights* as their idea of Post-War Reconstruction, The method proposed is to receive statements of the disabilities obtaining in the Union and in the Protectorates in the form of essays from various members of the Committee,These essays being collected by me are to be put- into the hands of a small drafting Committee composed of such men as Professor Jabavu, Kr. Katthews and others to assemble the ideas into a document which will be finally presented to a meeting of the Committee as a whole to consider, approve, and to finally present it to a Convention of Africans from the Union and the Protectorates for their approval. After the Convention approves, the members of the Committee, including the representatives of the Pro­tectorates, will sign the document on behalf of the poeple of those areas. The document will be published in a book­let form and copies of it would be presented officially to Governments of the United rations and delegates fctf the Peace Conference as being the idea o«- the Africans in Southern Africa of what Post-War Reconstruction should be like from the African*s point of view.

In other words, It is an at t erupt ny Africans t- selves to put before the world what the Africans$»expec\

as their share and benefits for the services they havj rendered in this Vorld far No, 2,

I am hoping that this statement will clarify your difficulties and make it possible for your area to make its contribution, supported by Africans from other areas.

With best regards,Yours nmerely,

0F M INTERVIEW OP SOME MEMBERS OP THE TRANSVAAL AFRICAN CC&ORESS BY THE PRESIDENT-GENERAL, AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS AT

AT4i P v3TREET’ D00R1,lf0IITE™ . JOHANNESBURG S n ™ M Z lr t T S U

— — — Me” f3; Sri*!1?10?®! J.B.Marks; E.P.Moretselle; A.P.Khomo:and A.A.M Belle (members of the Transvaal African Congress) interviewed Dr. A.B.Xuma (President-General, African National Congress) in the presence of Dr. P.ka I.Seme; Messrs. R.G.Baloyi and E.Mofutsanyana (Executive Committee members residing in Johannesburg of the African National Congress).

Di^A^BjJGama said the interview was a result of a telephonic con­versation between himself and Mr. Moretselle. Although no agenda had been planned during this conversation, he had received a letter from Mr. A .A .M ’Belle- who styled himself Vice Secretary, Bransvaal African Congress" with Headquarters at Pretoria and a SubQoffice in Johannesburg, in which was conveyed to him (l) the Agenda; ( 2 ) the desire of the presence of local members of the African National Congress Executive Committee; and ( 3 ) the names of the Transvaal members delegated to attend the interview. The Agenda was as follows:-

(1) Status of working Committee T .A .C .( 2 ) Distribution of National and printing of

the provincial membership cards.Dr. Xuma further stated that he did not consider those present as being members of any particular Committee in the TraHBvaal African Congress; but recognised them as members of that body.

stated that the letter had been sent because it was felt that any discussion on the Transvaal Africa.n Congress ■tras dependent on the two items of the Agenda sent.

Dr^JCuma then asked who the President of the T .A .C . was and who composed its Executive Committee.

Mrj__Mp rks in replying said that he believed the A .N .C . was in the dark as to the officials of, and the latest developments in, the T .A .C , He went on to explain that there was no President; but that,as a result of Unity Negotiations between the two rival bodies in the Transvaal, each of Miich considered itself the T .A .C ., a working committee had been appointed the Chairman of which was the highest official, in the meantime.

Mr. rofutsanvana asked if there were two Provincial Congresses in the Transvaal.

Fr1_J£arks replied in the affirmative and explained that there was a Pretoria group under a Mr. Mphahlele and another group*, whose President was the late Mr. S.P.Matseke.

DrAJ&m a asked when the Unity Negotiations had been started by these groups. J

Mr.Jferks answered and said he helleyed it was so m e fee in November

provincial Congresses in one province. He further told Mr. Ntsudisang that the A.N.C . would welcome a unity of the two sections under one leadership.

Mrj— interjected and said he had wanted to explain his versionnegotiations. He could not remember the date

of th/e Kxecutive Committee meeting at which a deputation was appointed to open negotiations at Pretoria. However, a meeting was held and the two bodies agreed to fuse and establish one provincial congress. A Committee was appoint­ed to make recommendations concerning such fusion. This Committee submitted th<-ir recommendations to a Joint Exe­cutive meeting held at Benoni which recommendations were accepted. A Committee was then appointed to control the province until an election was held. This Committee was not self appointed; but it was appointed by the two Execu­tive Committees one of* which had its Headquarters at Pretoria and the other had its Headquarters in Johannesburg, This Committee was called the "Working Committee" and was empowered to take control of the Transvaal Province until an election conference was convened in October, 1943.

. Mr, Mai oka said the members of the Executive Comm ttee of the T .A .C . had been cabled to attend the meeting of the 29th November, 194°, and were aware of the move towai unity.

aaked if a reoort of this move had heen made to the Executive Committee.

Pr. Xuma felt that there should have been a financial reoort made and all tickets and funds surrendered to the narent bodv before the appointment of a Committee.

i..rt, : V e lle said no surren r o ' tickets nor funds had been made.

ofutsanyana appreic.vted the efforts made towards unity; butasked if the Transvaal was satisfied it had achieved unity.

liLs_Pelie in reply s id that such satisfaction was presumed. A f3elecCommittee appointed at a conference called by Kr. C. Ramo- hanoe had sanctioned the validity of the Torking Corralttee and this indicated satisfaction."

Dr. Xuma asked why, after a ne1' Committee had been set up, did the Members of that new committee attend a conference c;.lled by wne who was not secretary of that committee, the newly recognised secretary of the t . a . c .

■ r. I!* Pelle said they attended because some items on the agenda affect­ed them.

I’r. 7 rks added that the conference was called in venge&ance.

said there was only one Provincial Congress recognised officially. Those who attend the conference on April 11th, 1943 called by Kr. hamohanoe had made a "correct mi stake ,as they attended a meeting called by the recog­nised secretary, jhte held allowed those present to discuss the matter at length so that they coulri^into the matter fully. The method adopted by the two group-* to ga.in unity had certain flaws which would always cause complaint. If as soon unity was achieved the parties had called on the National Executive t]control the province until an election was held on a date suitable to all, there would not have heen so much trouble. He appealed to the Transvaal members as persons interested in the movement to forget their personal difference and to settle this matter without

concurred with this view.

rana asked whether, because the Constitution had been violated at some time or other, it should be persistently violated.

Mr. Marks

replied in the affirmative.

said that^was a wrong impression and a start had to be made now to act constitutionally,

then reported of a visit he had made to the Pretoria group where he found that^ome officialsjlnwilling to co-operate. Even those officials on the Working Committee were divided. He thought that only the National Congress could save the situation by intervening now. The people were united and wanted one Provincial Congress; but the officials were di­vided amonga^themselves. Some did not want to wo/Bk under others. s

agreed that the only solution woild be Congress to intervene,*-*

Mr. --0'' ^tsanyana felt that much time had been waited on the unity of these two groups and that the time limit had now expired. The matter should be settled without delay.
