Johannesburg, Transvaal (now Gauteng), South Africa, 19570101. PHOTO: Eli Weinberg. Three people cycle along a road in the dark somewhere in the Transvaal (now Gauteng). This is possibly part of the Bus Boycott during 1956 and 1957 when The Putco Bus Company, the main transport company in the Witwatersrand increased bus fares and in response many people boycotted the buses in protest and walked, cycled or used taxis to get to work instead, often leaving very early in the morning.

The nature of the archive, then, reflects this reality. To safeguard those involved in gathering the information and records that could further the objectives of the organisation, it was imperative that those gathering such information should remain anonymous.
