Abstract

South Africa's "White" Problem
January 29, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the present state of affairs in South Africa generally and in Natal province in particular. The black election of June 1929 has already begun to bear fruit. Having deliberately appealed to the country's anti-black fears and prejudices, the government had to show that it was as good as its word and take any occasion that offered to uphold the white man's prestige and teach the natives a lesson and a proper respect for the forces of law and order. In the older, more spacious days large numbers of native families found homes on European-owned farms as share-paying squatters.
