- Description: We would like to stress at the outset that we are not organising this Convention in order to “gang up” with persons of other race-groups against others. Some people say that we should have nothing to do with Africans, because we have nothing in common with them. This is utter folly. We could mention several important factors which we do have in common with them. There is our common humanity, there is our common South Africanism, there is a great deal of common discrimination under South African laws, and there is, in regard to a great and growing number of Africans, a common Western view of life. We would like to see developed a wider South Africanism, capable of embracing all the peoples of this country, whatever their race, colour or creed. Let nobody say that because we are organising a Convention as a Coloured group, we are recognising and accepting the fact that we are a separate groun, or that we wish to be so regarded in the laws of the land. We repeat that we are a separate group by exclusion, by discrimination, by virtue of laws which we regard as wrong. And it is to destroy this false, separate identity that we are dedicating ourselves in this Convention.
