Mr. Mfenyana graphically
described the -plight of the
non-white in his country:

“If you are black in South
Africa you do not have the right
to vote, you live in poverty in
overcrowded: conditions, you
have one doctor for 44,400
persons, you do not mingle with
the whites as it {s an offense.”

He told of the attempts-at

peaceful protest, and of how _

these protests were brutally

F suppressed by the police and

the army.
The A.N.C. reluctant-

“ly. came to-the decision that

military action must be part of.
the campaign to bring justice to
South Africa. “It's the only
language the government will
understand,” said Mr. Mfen-
yana. He stressed, however,
that the soldiers received care-*
ful political training, and that’

whites would be welcome to
remain as equal citizens.in a
new South Africa.

+” He pointed to the success
‘with which whites have become
part of other newly-inde-
pendent African “ nations in
order to illustrate that South
African whites need not fear a
new regime.

Mr. Mfenyana strongly
protested the so-called inde-
pendence being granted blacks
in their tribal Bantustans. This
new policy by the government
was condemned as a continu-
ation of suppression, by requir-
ing blacks to work in white
areas, out of economic neces-
sity, while declaring as their
homeland the arrid lands grant-
ed them as their own ‘nations,’

The many questions which
followed Mr. Mfenyana’s: ad-
‘drésses indicated a very high

interest in the insights, disturb- "|

ing though they were, he pre-
sented so well.”
