Creator: ANC Archives Description: March, 1964 FORWARD Page 5 Two Organisations Hard Hit by Many Bannings THE S.A. CONGRESS OF TRADE UNIONS The Government is making an all-out effort to destroy the South African Congress of Trade Unions and the South African Indian Congress. These organisations have not been declared unlawful but the authorities have resorted to the wholesale banning of officials, office bearers and members - obviously with the intention of making it impossible for them to carry on. UNIONS HARD HIT The S.A. Congress of Trader • /OiPfTlh 1___ clause to imprison many trade union leaders and officials whose organisations were affiliated to SACTU. Where the 90-day clause has not been used, the Minister of Justice has imposed banning orders, using his w id.% arbitrary powers un Vr the Suppression of Communism Act. Since the beginning of the vent. SACTU has been deprived of nearly 50 executive members and officials through bans and detentions which have prevented these leaders from continuing with their trade union work. Among those recently banned are: if Mr. Richard Takalo; if Mr. F. Manamela 'Lesiba - both organisers of the Metal Workers' Union; â˜"¦ Miss Shanti Naidoo, typist employed by SACTU. On February 10, four more officials of SACTU were banned by the Minister of Justice. They are: if George Monare, an organiser of the National Union of Clothing Workers (SA.) and an executive member of SACTU; JL Q I^tinnirali ovoonf!*rn mam. if Graham Morodi, secretary of the General Workers' Union and local committee member. All these men have been forbidden to enter any factory premises, which will prevent them from obtaining employment in factories. Mr. Khun-yield obtained a job in a chemical factory after he was released from 90-day detention. The ban makes it illegal for him to remain in this job and he will have to give it up. PERSECUTION The police have been conducting a campaign against SACTU for a long time. The organisation has been persecuted by frequent visits by the Special Branch , and by police raids. Last October, Mrs. Viola Hashe, vice-chairman of Sactu was banned. At the same time, Mr9. Phyllis Altman, assistant general secretary was also banned. Her place was taken by Mr. Edward Davoren, a young British immigrant. After being threatened with 90-day detention (see story in our last issue) Mr. Davoren was arrested and later deported. No reasons or explanation we re given for this drastic arbitrary action. HOUSE ARREST The general secretary of SACTU, Mr. John Gaetsewe. THE INDIAN CONGRESS The authorities are taking similar steps to crush the S.A. Indian Congress. In the first week of February, no less than eight top officials of the Transvaal Indian Congress were banned. Among other restrictions, they .
