| dc.description.abstract | South Africa was startled when it became known that at dawn on Wednesday, 5th December, in sweeping raids, members of the special branch of th South African Police had arrested about 140 people on allegations of high treason. It was officially stated that the arrests are a sequel to an intensive investigation which the police have conducted since last year. All those arrested were conveyed to the Rand, many of them by special plane, so as to appear in court at Johannesburg. When they did so, in batches on successive days, they were remanded in custody until December 19 for a preparatory examination. Applications for bail made to the supreme court were refused. Those arrested include Europeans, Coloureds, Africans and Indians, and among them are many leaders of various organisations. In the extensive lists such well-known names appear: Mr. L. B. Lee-Warden, a member of Parliament; Mr. Fred Carneson, a former member of the Cape Provincial Council; Mrs. Sonia Burting, wife of a former M.P., Mr. Brian Bunting; Rev. D. C. Thompson, Superintendent Minister of the Springs circuit of the Methodist Church of South Africa ; Prof. Z. K. Matthews, acting principal of the University College of Fort Hare; Dr. A. Letele of Kimberley, Rev. J. A. Calata, Cradock, Rev. R. W. S. Gawe, Queenstown; Messrs. Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo, attorneys, Johannesburg and Mr. A. J. Luthuli. | |
