...Jewish capitalism," he hated the threat to the 3,000,000 whites of South Africa of 11,000,000 slowly awakening blacks, coloreds (mixed bloods) and Indians. He was one of the first advocates of apartheid (segregation ). When he took over as Prime Minister in 1954, succeeding Daniel F. Malan, a man of the same stamp, his administration rammed through laws that packed the Supreme Court and Senate, began the mass resettlement of natives into reserves. He was suspicious of all outsiders, and frequently warned travelers leaving for England to beware of "the fatal British aristocratic embrace." He went abroad...
Since 1948 the Nationalist Government, under Prime Minister Malan and later Strijdom, has passed heavy restrictive legislation designed to protect South African whites from non-European influence. No African (black) may own land outside the Reserves, nor is he allowed to move from one area to another without written permission from the Government. The Population Registration Act provides a Register of the population in order to distinguish clearly between racial groups. The Bantu Education Act of 1949 imposed strict restrictions on the education of blacks in the Union, carefully segregating schools and curricula...
Angry Voice. Strydom's reaction was to dismiss his Boer critics as backsliders. But one angry voice he would find it hard to ignore: that of stubborn old Nicolaas Havenga. 78, Deputy Premier in Daniel Malan's Nationalist government and once Strydom's rival for power. At week's end, Havenga spoke out from retirement. "I am unhappy about this bill," Havenga said. "It may be constitutional but even Nationalists are unhappy about it. The two parties should make a new approach . . . This upheaval going on won't do the country any good...
Strydom's chief objective, like his predecessor Daniel Malan's, was to disenfranchise the 45,000 mixed-blood people who still have votes in South Africa. One of the "entrenched clauses," written into the South African constitution by the British Parliament in 1909, guarantees the voting rights of all mixed-blood people in Cape Province. Twice the Nationalists have passed legislation that, in effect, would enable the government to root out this "entrenched clause," but twice the High Court has ruled their efforts unconstitutional. To override the court, the constitution requires a two-thirds majority of both Houses...
...Prime Minister of South Africa, gimlet-eyed Johannes Gerhardus Strydom, 61, presented his first program to Parliament last week. It was pure Malanism. Strydom asked Parliament to reduce the authority of South Africa's highest courts, which for three years have thwarted old Daniel Malan's attempt to disenfranchise 50.000 Cape Colored (mixed blood) voters. He was less extreme than his enemies had feared (he did not yet demand, for example, that South Africa sever ties with Britain), a fact which gave his program almost the appearance of moderation. But moderation, Strydom style, includes recommending legislation which would...
