- 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.

An evaluation of political participation by coloured people, 1994-2009

- Description: The aim of the study was to gain an understanding of the level of political participation of Coloured people in the northern areas of Port Elizabeth. The focus was to investigate and identify if political apathy exists among Coloureds in the northern areas of Port Elizabeth and the reasons thereof, if it existed. The northern area of Port Elizabeth is a historically Coloured area created with the imposition of the segregation policies of the apartheid government. The study attempted to explore means to improve political participation of Coloured people in Port Elizabeth. Coloured people have played an important role in the political landscape in South Africa during the colonial and apartheid period. The voting power of the Coloured people during the colonial and apartheid period have been a determining factor in shaping the political landscape. The study commences with a broad overview of the political participation and political identity of Coloured people during the colonial and apartheid periods, including the current political dispensation. The study also included the analysis of secondary information in the form of statistical data in respect of election results from the 1999 elections through to the 2009 national elections. Data was collected by using qualitative and quantitative methods referred to as methodological triangulation. The qualitative method comprised face-to-face semi-structured interviews with political and community leaders in the northern areas that gained information on the levels of political participation and the extent of political disengagement. The quantitative method included a questionnaire that established views of respondents regarding levels of political participation and apathy to determine the levels of political disengagement. The interviews elicited valuable information on political participation of Coloured people before and after 1994. Information was also gained on the existence and the reasons for the perceived political apathy. Valuable insight was gained as to how Coloured people view the importance of political participation and the results indicated the limited participation beyond elections. Recommendations are made on the importance of civil society participation, the visibility of political parties and the importance of political education and how it can contribute to increased political participation.
