"It is difficult to believe that this conference will net reject the contention of the imperialists that they are entitled to
decide what form a struggle of national liberation must take.  If
we were to accept their contention, we, the- people of Africa and
Asia, and the freedom fighters of South Africa, Angola, Mozambique,
Portuguese Guinea and Zimbabwe, would have to abandon great parts
of our continent and many millions of our people to perpetual
slavery.  This we will never do.  -and even if we become so lost
to honour,and humanity as to do so, the peoples of these countries
would ignore us and in spite of us continue their struggle for
national liberation alone....
"Our main preoccupation at this conference should be to
strengthen cur solidarity.  It seems to me that the main task is
to find answers to the problems of organising our solidarity, of
mobilising our peoples and of giving impetus to the peoples' will
to peace and social change.
"Just as disunity in our ranks retards the struggle against
imperialism, so the agents of neo-colonialism who ride on our backs
to influence and power, giving false homage to our solidarity, must
be regarded as retarding the struggle against imperialism.  There
is one test and one test only for our solidarity:  Do we mobilise
and rely on  the people in the struggle against imperialism in all
its forms, or do v/e relegate the role of the mass of the people
to a secondary place in this struggle? I say that only the mass
of the people can ensure victory in our struggle.."

SOUTH AFRICA DAY
June 26 - A Day of Rededication
That South Africa is a country of the most humiliating colour
discrimination, inhuman national oppression, bitter and fierce
political and social strifes and conflicts in a well-known fact
throughout the world today.
The 12 million African people in South Africa and the other
sections of the non-Whites - the one  and a half million Coloured
people and the half million Indian community - are in the grip of
a bitter struggle against White domination and fascist terror and
brutality.
The struggle of the African people in South Africa against
foreign invasion and domination began as far back as the fifteenth
century.  Their struggles have always been accompanied by bloodshed and massacres perpetuated by the well-armed White invaders
and oppressors....
