try will not be misled by these
new attempts by our oppressors
to use the collaborators among
the black people to do their dirty
work. The time is also long past
when we accept anything less
than our full rights as a people and

as an exploited class. We know |

that it is our labor which has built
up the riches of South Africa; it is
our sweat and toil and our lives
which have been used to dig out
the gold and to develop the rich
farmlands.

We claim every mine, every
factory and every farm in South

- Africa for the people. We have

suffered race oppression because
we were needed as cheap labor
for the big settler farmers and the
capitalist bosses. Therefore to
end the barbarism of white
domination we must destroy its
foundations — the capitalist
system.

But the immediate task facing
the workers and all our oppressed
people is the destruction of
minority domination. That is why
the workers. unconditionally
support and engage in the struggle

for national liberation headed by

the African National Congress.

In the coming struggle for

‘power the working class has a

special role to play. In alliance

sion and the most powerful force
for true national liberation. As
workers .we gain nothing but
misery from the Bantustans
which are being used as an excuse
to deprive us of all rights and to
hound us like dogs in the cities we
have built with our labor.

Every single inch of South
Africa belongs to the people. We
have nothing to gain from the kind
of liberation which gives a few
black businessmen the right to
share in our exploitation. When
workers talk of liberation they
mean the destruction of all ex-
ploiters — white and black.

The struggles which we have
carried out in the last few years in
the factories and in the mines
have given us new confidence in
our organized strength. We must
use this strength to press home
the demand for the right to strike
and the right to free trade union
organizations.

Workers are not fooled by the
government’s new laws which
pretend to give them the right to
strike. We refuse to be cheated by
the Bantu Works Committees
which serve the bosses and are
used to try to stop real African
trade unionism. We stand on our
guard against the attempts by the
white trade union movement to
control the growth of black work-
ers’ organization. We are no
longer prepared to be dominated
by those who collaborate with the
ruling class to ensure the maxi-
mum exploitation of the Blacks.

po TANZANIA

We believe in the true unity o'
all workers — Africans, Indians,
Coloreds and whites. But there

must be real equality and majority |

control. Only when the white
workers stop collaborating with
our class enemies and act as part
of a united working class, will we
welcome them as brothers. They
must stop using racism to get spe-
cial privileges. They must not ex-
pect the black workers to take a
second class part in white-
controlled and white-led trade
union centers.

Our Party and the national
liberation movement have always
supported the South African

‘Congress of Trade Unions

(SACTU) as the only genuine
democratic and non-racial trade
union movement; SACTU has, in
the last 20 years, continued to
give trade union guidance and

leadership to workers throughout .

our country, under conditions of
persecution and terror. SACTU
is an important part of the libera-
tion alliance.

In South Africa the struggle of
the black workers cannot be
separated from their struggle
against national oppression. For
the black working class — as part
of the oppressed and exploited
majority — there is only one way
out: the complete destruction of
white supremacy and the creation
of a people’s government dedi-

cated to placing South Africa’

along the road to’ socialism.

FORWARD TO FREEDOM
AND SOCIALISM

We must use all our power and
strength to support and fight for
the immediate aims of the na-
tional liberation front headed by
the African National Congress.
We must combine armed struggle

with mass political resistance. We,

must reject the few among the
black people, especially in the
Bantustans, who collaborate with
the enemy. We. must learn to
recognize those who pretend to
be good ‘‘black nationalists’’ but
who really just want to share with
the white. capitalist class in the
exploitation of the black working
people in the towns, on the farms
and in the Bantustans.

strong working class which has a
special role to play in the alliance
of patriotic forces against the
minority dictatorship. That is
why we need a strong Communist
Party and a well-organized trade
union movement which form part

' of the liberation alliance. In our

country the national struggle
cannot be separated from- the

class struggle.

WORKERS! COMRADES!

e We are the backbone of the
struggle for national liberation.

e It is only our collective
strength which will ensure that
the mass of the people will benefit
from liberation and not just the
few who want to step into the
shoes of the white exploiters.

e It is your vigilance in the
revolution which will help to put
an end to economic exploitation
which is the foundation of racism.

e Itisunderourleadership that
our country will move towards a
socialist society in which all the
factories, mines and farms are
owned by the people and are run
in the interests of all our people.

e It is our readiness to or-
ganize, to resist and to fight back
against the racist - dictatorship
which will determine how quickly
our people win the immediate
aims of the national liberation
movement headed by the African
National Congress.

e Intensify the struggle for
higher wages and better condi-
tions! Build strong black trade
unions!

e Organize secret committees
of the most reliable workers to
lead the struggle in the factories!

e Support and strengthen your
political organization — the South
African Communist Party!

e Study the liberating ideas of
Marxism and Leninism and fight
against anti-Sovietism and anti-
Communism — the weapons of
the enemy!

e Support and strengthen the
African National Congress and its
allies in the national liberation
front!
