- Description
- The City Council's Non-European Affairs Committee honoured me in August, 1957, by permitting me to appear before it to present a research report on the transference of Coloured people to its new housing estates. The report was offered verbally, but I was asked to prepare and submit a report confined to 34 households then under eviction orders: this report on "Non-payment of rent by Coloured householders in the new housing schemes of Grahamstown Municipality" was considered at a later date by Council and various recommendations were adopted. Representatives of the City Council discussed the possible methods of meeting the situation which had arisen with Central Government officers. It was agreed later that I be asked to develop a systematic study of the problems on a wider scale and that this report be submitted to the Central Government on its completion. In conformity with this request I submit the present report.
