MEMORANDUM OF CITY TREASURER, DURBAN,--------- g -------------1
ANMJAL LOSSES ON SUB-ECONOMIC HOUSING TO BE BORNE BY DURBAN CITY COUNCIL
There is attached hereto a Schedule showing the annual losses which the Durban City Council is bearing and which it expects to bear upon its several sub-economic housing schemes.
Briefly summarised the position is as follows :
Under existing conditions the total annual losses are anticipated to be £268,400 made up as follows J

If the Government agree to apply the New Housing Formula to all existing sub-economic schemes of the Council tho total annual losses are anticipated to be £230,865 made up as follows *-

With a city the size of Durban with a population of approximately 357,304 and with an annual general rat©
income/
income of only one million pounds, potential losses of the magnitude shewn above are burdensome in the extreme and will become increasingly so in the future.
The inevitable effect will be that the City's assessment rates will require to be increased to a considerable extent with adverse affects upon every owner of immovable property in the city particularly the small home owner.
The most unsatisfactory feature of this burden is that only 3$ of it relates to the European community ard the balance of 97$ is occasioned by the housing of the non-European sections of the community.
Expressed in percentages the European Housing will account for 3$ of the total loss,the Indian Housing will account for 46$, Coloured Housing will account for ?$ and Native Housing will account for 44$.
The above percentages will be slightly, but not very materially, altered if the Government agree to apply the new Housing Formula to all existing sub-economic schemes. Under this formula the European housing will account for 3$ of the losses, Indian Housing will account for 50$,Coloured Housing will account for 7$ and Native Housing will account for 4C$ .
If therefore the Council is to be debarred from charging Native Housing losses against the profits of Kaffir Beer Account, and in view of the diminishing balance of the Working Balance Reserve of the Native Revenue Account, there seems every likelihood of the above losses on Native Housing requiring to be charged against the Borough Rate Fund - a very disconcerting prospect for the borough finances. It seems insxpliaable that the deficiency in one section of the Native Revenue Account should not be allowed to be offset by the credit balance on another section of the same account*
Furthermore, it is somewhat incongruous that Kaffir Beer profits which, in terms of Section 19 (3) of the Natives (Urban Areas) Consolidation Act No. 25 of 1945, may be utilised to promote the social welfare of Natives residing in the city, may not, however, be utilised to contribute towards the most beneficial form of social welfare viz. good housing.
The Native community and the Native Revenue Account enjoy by way of low assessment rates the benefits flowing from the profits of the several Municipal Trading Undertakings which are patronised principally by the Europeans.These Trading Undertakings contribute approximately £360,000 towards reducing the general assessment rate, but the Native Trading Undertaking i .e . the Kaffir Beer Account makes no such contribution and is now being debarred from even contributing specifically towards the relief of Native Housing Losses.

TV)« Native Interests : ectional Committee of the King Wiliiara!a Town branch of the ational Council of omen are glad of the opportunity of giving evidence before the Native Law9
Commission of Enquiry.
Tve following is a summary of the points they wish toraise :
TERMS OF REFERENCE (a) OF THE -JJE3TI0WAIRE:
2. Apart from the urgent need for suitable dwellings forNative families, this Committee is of the opinion that hostels for school children should bo provided by the Union Education
cpartment. -lany of the children come into the town f rom rural areas to attend school, and without properly organised hostels there is bound to be lack of control.
S .(b ) This Committee feels that Natives should be employed to the fullest extent possible on the construction of houses for
atives. 1st. Because the uso of Mative labour will keep down the cost of production, and so enable a smaller rental to be charged for the completed dwelling, 2nd. Because of the shortage of European labour for houses required by the white population.
13, (c) o consider a system of registration to be essential, but it should be one which does not permit of the Native feeling he has been singled out for differential or harsh treatment. For this reason we advocate that a number should be supplied to every person, white or black. This number to remain unchanged from birth to death.
s documents are difficult for atives to retain in good order, a metal disk could be supplied.
15. V»e advocate a living wage for all workers, and anadequate pension or allowance for the aged and infirm.
17. (b) Yes, we consider a system of labour bureaux essential for the future.
IB. As far as possible suitable employment should be madeavailable as near their kraals as possible. The breakup of family life should be avoided.
TER:-3 OF REFERENCE (b) :
21. (a) All Pass Laws would be wiped out if the registration we advocate were instituted. This would also do away with the
- 2 -
21. (a)(Contd.)irritations caused by something quite foreign to the average ratives1 make-up - namely bits and pieces of flimsy paper upon which hieroglyphic' a, meaningless to him, are scrawled.
23. (11) Yes. most emphatically.
TERMS OP REFERENCE (c ) :
24. (a) We deplore everything which leads to a break-up of family life . In this connection we wish to draw attention to the very serious state of affairs in this district with regard to deserted wives and families. Though some men k remit money from their wages when they go away to work there Is a large proportion of husbands and fathers who break right away from their dependants. This leads to great hardship of which we are in a position to speak with authority.
W ANOTHER ASPECT:
One matter which does not come up in the Questionalre, but which seems to come within the scope of this enquiry, is that of permanently disabled mine workers. It used to be the case, and probably still is, that an injured mine employee was given the choice of accepting a lump sum for injuries received. This in some cases has been stated to be a mere £40. This money accepted, the mine appears to have considered itself absolved from all further responsibility.
Once the money is spent, the man becomes a life-long liability upon his relations. A strong, healthy native used frequently to come to the houses of King illiam 's Town people to beg. T?e had just stumps of arris, as both hands had been blown off in a mine accident. This man should have been in receipt of an allowance for life . Tv,ere have been many such casea#

2 . I believe that tne following suggestions would oring abouti ,r<fveo conditions oi reaidenoe in Ur0*4 vocation* : a livij.g wage with age l;e terminations covering all towns and villages, fownshlpa lor Africans wnere people aay own their homes with pride arid aatisiuotlon. every town or village oe forced to aet aside * piece ol land lor tala purpose. In addition to this, local authorities u.ay be allowed to Introduce some economic housing scneae lor the Hotting population i .e . those who spend 6 - 1 * months in towns und another 6 - 1 2 oionths In the country* fhoee ,irloans who have tne means to run hostele ::iust be encouraged and the Municipalities caay alsoerect hostels as long aa auoh Lou u la do not compete with those owned by Africans. i’he employment o f social workers such us those being turned out at the Jan HoXaeyr Johoel would greatly improve the conditions.
3 . (*} (1) as above*(b) Employment oi Africans as iar aa they are able and are available* The African hus advanced to such an extent that he Is represented In al&ost all trades und professions*(o) Where possible the African should provide 50; of the costa or even 75/> depending on his income, i‘he balance to be provided by the state and local authorities in equal shares.
4 . atives should oe allowed to acquire ow; ership of their Homes in or near Urban areaa* It iauat ae clearly understood that the Native has every delta to freedom oi speech and movement and that south ,/rloa Is his home. There!ore li he cboosea to be in town t&nd huS the means of owning hia home let there oe no ourriera* he must own his home under the circumstances tnat he has paid for it und let there be no safe guards. he is no longer new to western Civilisation 11 other races need no safe guards wny must the Nativef
5* Chief causes of squatting near urban areas are the restrictive luws (sse Urban Areas ^ot) which eject people from towns, the . o • >iio./ ol faraeri rtiaiw n , m people leaving f a n s withno money tv buy lano with and no housea to return to. ilo homes socially and economically. The wnole Uroan Areas Act needs overhauling it la obsolete and does not conform with the present social standard of Natives* There must bs • <vage Determination covering fartno in eaoh district and vage Inspectors for e«tch town and district. More land in tne Native territories or reaervee must oe made available.

Why have Europeans over Natives when there ere Natives who can do the work to the same standard ot eiiiciency or more. Employ Natives from the Superintendent to the junior clerk. In* many cases it would seem that the pre-requisite for appointment as Location Superintendent is that lie n&s lived noioi^ the i.ativejj, can utter the cl laics oi the Native language orjV retired constable, e want an approchable .an who comes among the people not os ly ior
his iat cne^ue out because ne is interested and*ready to improve them socially and economically. We want men specially trained ior the position.All superintendents should possess at least matriculation, liative Law end administration or a Uipioma in iJantu Studies. A Senior Clerk to possess matriculation or its equivalent and junior clerks aust possess a Junior Certificate.
B, 3y the employment oi Native Cificials where possible andby employing aiockmen to oe paid a living wage.
9. (a) Direct representation on Town Councils oy Natives.(o) Then the existing doarda would not be necessary.If advisory boards must stay then the least eduoational qualification ior a Board member must be the sixth standard.
10. £88. No person other than tne suiierer can best express hie ailments or complaints. Xne time is long over due when Natives should ta&e active part in Administration.
13. (a) No. This piece oi legislature ie nothing less than slavery.(b) No.(c) Mo control. Natives auet oe treated as oitisens.If there is no need to control other groups of the community then there is no need to control the native.
14. (a) (i) They oome irom the reserves.( i i ) Tne root cauce is that the land set aside for natives is inadequate. It is preposterous to expect a faseily of 5 or 6 to make living on 5 morgen of land.In many oases even that 5 morgen is not available and hence townwards drift.Native law also plays parti by the law ofPrimogeniture the land develwes upon one Senior male heir, the younger brothers nave no right and ore forced to sees otner avenues.History repeats itsell. This townwards drift ie not peculiar to this country, even in Europe and other countries at some time or other there has been such drift.
Su£igeatlon * There is «uoh land in tife country ior botfc white and black to live harmoniously and happily but we iind that it is not even a question oi the Jungle law whioh speake oi the "survival oi the littest". Jungle law is still better because tnere are opportunities. Mire land must be made available, Trading facilities in the reserves
with ail present uuy social amenities. In other words make lilt in rural ureoa oiore attractive.
15. farmers not doing their share. They must pay attractivewages with all social facilities i .e . good homes, more farm schools and provide recreation. Provide hostels for aged and infirm e .g . v»4eek Homes at Port iliiabeth.
Q-afcoc-K17. (a) a s already mentioned, improved wages and conditions of
employment or fartrs, In towns and on the alines* mere are those natives who prefer to wortc on farms but due to low wages and lack of facilities find it essential to go either townwarda or to the mines. Uta improved conditions they would certainly remain on farms. There is always steady migration to end from the mines and with improved conditions this could be iaater. The permanent town dweller on the other hand would improve his social standard with/vf'esult. that his spending power would Increase to the advantage oi all. In ahort let the itative sell his labour to the hignest bidder without restriction.(i) I think labour exchange may be given a trial, out
it must cover all races.(b) Tes. This might as well be given trial to cover all races.
1 9 , uCi’ieatic or home crewing tu tne oc,;t. . euifea nuveever,- ri^ht to nave their drink in its customary ias^on. it ia healthy clean and free from concoctions when brewed at home when there is no iear of police raids and disturbances. It also plays an Unportent part when celebrating certain tribal customs.
2 1 . The very fact that this question is aeked proves that there is realisation cl tne unrest, feeling of insecurity and lowering of the dignity oi numanlty caused by these iniquitous pass laws. The system must be discontinued. Ho documents except thoae carried by everybody else if any at a ll .
22. 1 strongly recommend total abolition ci passes. Put a man in a pig sty, he behaves like a pig, treat him like a beast er a hooligan he will be-have oeastly or like a hooligan. The Natives made the supreme sacrifice because they were cgade tc under* a ti-rd inter alia t.,-.. I tnlf »ur r. ,-_s ior iree .ou. oi speech n movement. Why then in a so oalled democratic oountry these discriminatory racial laws. Passes make criminals of thousa/ids of law abiding Africans. They are a source oi bitter resentment against the Oovernment and the Europeans in general. Total abolition would bring about harmoiiy and setter understanding between white and black which is necessary for the bettermentof South Africa.
