(Buller) Pagden concerning 90 Day detentions: "When I went to visit Vorster, even he was very cagey about giving figures [of numbers of people detained]... He was far too affable for my liking — very much like the cat that has swallowed the canary. There is no doubt that he has lots of evidence on lots of people and is thoroughly enjoying his role as the big hero who has saved South Africa from a major blow-up. May the Lord help us all."; 14/09/1964 correspondence concerning the refusal of passports to Dr. Moeti and Dr. Mashalaba (husband and wife) who want to leave Kwa-Thema for 'Bechuanaland [Botswana]; 15/09/1964 letters concerning wages for (black) drivers on Anglo-American mines; 28/09/1964 letters concerning 2 former workers with SA Railways — a white bedding attendant and a black labourer (Aaron Mbalo); water fluoridation.
