Description: DM2006120608:POLITICS:WOMEN:1956 - Helen Joseph, Brave fighter of Racism - Helen was born in 1905, in Britain. She became politically active when she emigrated to South Africa. She soon became a member of the South African Federation of South African Women. In 1955 she was one of the 20 000 women who marched to the Union Building in Pretoria, to protest against the extension of the pass system to black women. Helen was the first person to be placed under house arrest in South Africa and one of one hundred and fifty six people arrested in 1956, who were charged with high treason. The treason Trial ended after four years, in March 196, when Helen Joseph and all the accused were acquitted of all charges. From then on, Helen was banned repeatedly and placed under house arrest.

Description: DM2006120108:SAED:POLITICS:PERSONALITY:NOV58 - Treason Trial Halts - Treason Trialists outside the court. October 13, 1958 - the mild, cloudy Pretoria morning on which the most sensational of things happened for the 91 men and women of all races facing a charge of high treason. Mr Pirow, leader of the Crown team at the trial, rose to his feet, touched a colleague who was still addressing the court, and brought the microphone to his mouth. "Your Lordship, I withdraw the indictment against the accused," he said in his hoarse voice. The height of the trial's drama had come. Up in the packed non-white gallery, black faces lit up and swung round to take swift looks at the judges, still wondering if they had heard right. Out in the street, where spectators and photographers were pressing on the accused, shouts of "Africa" rang high and firm, victory handshakes spelled the day's relief.

Description: DM2000012415:SAED:POLITICS:SEP1957 - Treason Trial - This is how the Drill Hall was set up for the trial. The trial started on December 19, 1956. As the biggest case in South Africa's history lumbered to the end of its first stage this August 1957, the 156 accused men and women wondered how many of them would be back in court again. The 156 national leaders had first appeared at a preparatory examination into treason at the end of 1956, in the specially constructed court at the Drill Hall, Johannesburg; they had spent their lives in and out of court for most of 1957; and they could now see the possibility of the same prospect for the third calendar year, 1958, if they were committed for trial in the Supreme Court.

Description: DM2011060153:NIGED:POLITICS:PERSONALITIES:FEB 1963 – Awolowo Is Charged With Treason – Chief Awolowo and Michael Omisade give a victory sign as they arrive at the Lagos High Court at the start of the trial. The trial of Chief Awolowo and 24 others began with high drama. On the first day, tension mounted. On the second, it flared… No Nigerian outside the Criminal Investigation Department suspected that, on a day in November 1962, there would occur an event that would, in its significance and suddenness put the proceedings of the Coker Commission of Inquiry into the shade. And when the great event started to unfold, it did so with all the suspense of a slow-motion picture. ( Photograph by Matthew Faji Photographer ©BAHA)

His parents were middle class. He may have become interested in social problems first when he was at school. For the teachers at that time belonged to the generation of British university graduates who were violently anti-fascist. In any event Bernstein was actively supporting Republican Spain by working for the South African anti-fascist League which was inspired by the rise in Nazi hooliganism in South Africa. After a spell as secretary of the Labour Party League of Youth, he joined the communist Party in 1939. He was only 19. He was soon in charge of propaganda in the party's Johannesburg office. He qualified at the University of Witwatersrand as an architect in 1941. After marrying Linda Watts he was elected secretary of the district committee of the Comminist Party.
