Scope and content
Includes: 19/11 letter to Mr. David Alston re Prog Party policies and the possibility of "toenadering" with the UP (impossible); letters and a photocopy concerning a small ad in the Cape Times of 26/10/1970 wherein the advertiser, Mr. T.J. Mostert, mentions "10 convicts" as an asset of the farm he wants to sell; 01/10/1970 letter from Joseph D.K. Morolong about unsatisfactory conditions (including medical treatment and conditions in the quarry) on Robben Island where he was imprisoned for 2 years; letters concerning the attempts of Father Benedict (Kristo Nkosi Catholic Church, Kwa Thema) to get the Lekoane family permission to holiday in the Cape with him; 23/11 letter to Ronald Curry mentioning that the UP will not even support 'Coloured' bus drivers being appointed in Johannesburg despite there being no job reservation in this area - "This is the sort of thing that keeps me mad enough to go on fighting."; undated letter to Terry Mclean in which Helen Suzman comments: "I enjoyed my little visit to K.K. in Zambia. You must admit that of the two of us, he must be by far the more photogenic. I liked him, though I am not at all sure that he is not going to ditch the economy ... with his nationalisation and "out with the expatriates" plan. It was nice, however, as a white South African, to be so cordially received".
