U900 the meetinr is described as an A.N.C. meeting whereas at P*l;905 it a. pears that the meeting was celled under the auspices of the Trade Unions.

i*kwayl was the Chairman at the meeting. He stated that he wondered whether his coloured friends would also oopose 2'iantu Education because it would affect them in the future* lie further stated that he heard that a member of the Spoclal Branch, fir. Fritz, was trying to stop coloured people from attending these raoetings. He follows this by saying :

p*H90U t "I want to say these people who are beIn- taken by cars to their homes by this white man, they must know that they are selling their children and they must be aware of the wheel of freedom".

Meeting held on 13/11/55 at Corsten, ^ort Elizabeth, It was araeetlng of the A,.i«C.

The salient featurse of Tshume's speech appear below,

? • jj,?i901 : "The Freedom Charter has been

adopted. era aro going to end. Freddom ahall rule.

The Government depend on guns. oppressed workers

say we want equality. Nobody shall be shot for nothing,

everybody will bo frc3. A cruel lan, we know he will

shoot you Instead of throwing away his gun, but nothing

will etc us fro our struggle. It shows even now that

we are going to get our freedom,"

ptlrJQl : "We see that this Government is

just like othei 'overn.;ents oy oppressing workers. The capitalists say the oppressed workers cannot be free. People cannot all be free, South African people now say let us change the situation and let people be free and we will see what things will look like. But what is clear, before the whites cane into this country

ca e#saw that the people lauat be oppressed. So the

people of South Africa are piepared to fight fo.i their

others muet leave South Africa because people of South

Africa want their country. If there is a person who

discri ainates colo r, must quit. tf the white an

We are gathered here through hatred, A man who hasill

feelings for others must go away,''

Tshume then stated that pas3 laws must be stopped.

He also blamed the Crovernment for the ugliness of

Corsten, He said that the Government wished to make

slaves out of the )eo:;le, e then advised the people

to join tho Trade Unions as they were the backbone of

the W ide campaign,
