Attachment 9: Objections to the formation of the Union of South Africa.
Objections to the Union of South Africa by the indigenous people of South Africa are nothing new. Objections arose before the Union was implemented, and have continued until now. However, objectors have been forcefully silenced throughout the history of South Africa. This silencing has overstepped recognized human rights repeatedly.
Tribes in South Africa have been calling for the restitution of their land taken from them forcefully before and after the Union of South Africa was formed.
Although there has been a system put in order whereby people can lay legal claims for their ancestral land, this system has proved inefficient and inadequate. This is discussed further in Attachment 17 - The African National Congress in government, Sub-Section: Land.
The struggle for freedom from the constriction which the Union placed on the lives of South Africans, has been fraught with danger, brought upon the nation itself through ignorance and their turning to desperate measures to win their freedom; as well as danger brought on them from other countries and their mafias who are exploiting the unstable domestic situation South Africans find themselves in. It appears that the help freedom fighters have received has often been given by people, organizations and countries, who have had ulterior motives for self enrichment.
In this document, we discuss the following:
Section A. The Union of South Africa was drafted by the Crown and enforced British supremacy on the nation
Section B. Launch of Union 1910
Section C. South Africans united against the Union of South Africa
Section D. International Objections to the Union of South Africa
