The South African government meanwhile had passed the General Law Amendment Act No. 76, , also known as the Sabotage Act, in that same year.

It widened the definition of sabotage to include strikes, trade union activity, and writing slogans on walls. The maximum penalty for sabotage was hanging and the minimum five years' imprisonment. It reversed the normal burden of proof so that the accused were assumed to be guilty and had to prove their innocence. Publications opposing the government were liable to a fine of R20,000.

The Act extended the powers of the Minister of Justice, a post held in 1962 by B. J. Vorster, to ban people and organisations. Anyone who had been charged under the Suppression of Communism Act, 1950 could be banned from holding office in named institutions. Such people became known as "statutory Communists" - even if they had never actually been members of the South African Communist Party. They could be put under house arrest without trial.

This is the full text of the Act in pdf form.

Statue of Jan van Riebeeck — Cape Town (1962)

This photo of the bottom of Adderley street with the statue of Jan van Riebeeck was taken on a beatiful summer's day in 1962. In this year on the 6th of November United Nations General Assembly Resolution 1761 was passed. The resolution deemed apartheid and the policies enforcing it to be a violation of South Africa's obligations under the UN Charter and a threat to international peace and security.

The resolution also established the United Nations Special Committee against Apartheid. The committee was originally boycotted by the Western nations, because of their disagreement with the aspects of the resolution calling for the boycott of South Africa. Even so, the committee found allies in the West, such as the British-based Anti-Apartheid Movement, through which it could work and lay the ground roots for the eventual acceptance by the Western powers of the need to impose economic sanctions on South Africa to pressure for political changes.

South African and Australian soldiers enjoy a game of cards in a gun pit in North Africa during WW2 (1942)

Easily identified by their distinctive headgear, two South African soldiers sit on the left and two Australian soldiers sit on the right. This photo was taken by a Sgt. Travis on the 21st of July.

19 days prior, following two weeks of reverses on the North African front, a motion of censure was brought against Winston Churchill in the House of Commons proposing that "this House, while paying tribute to the heroism and endurance of the Armed Forces of the Crown in circumstances of exceptional difficulty, has no confidence in the central direction of the war." Churchill gave a lengthy speech before the vote, conceding that the campaign in North Africa had not been going well but insisting that things would improve once vast amounts of American military supplies arrived. The motion was defeated, 475 to 25.

When the SOL was extended to North Africa it brought together the most determined supporters of the Révolution Nationale, a project by the Vichy government to essentially undo the French Revolution and remove the stain of liberalism from French society. Among these people were Pierre Gallet, Marcel Gombert and Jean Bassompierre, as well as Noël de Tissot and a doctor Durandy. Bassompierre invented the “twenty-one points of SOL” pictured on the right.

During the landing of November 8, 1942 in North Africa under Operation Torch, Darnand orders the SOL units to resist the Allied invasion. Pétain saluted in a speech on January 5, 1943 the "devotion", the "dynamism", the "fidelity" and the "spirit of sacrifice" of the SOL who, alongside the African Army, fought against the Allies.

Poster: "Delivery of Flags and Pennants from the French Legion of Combatants in North Africa", J. Carbonel, Algeria (1941)

This Vichy French propaganda poster was made to support the Légion française des combattants (LFC), resulting from the merger of all veterans associations in Pétain-controlled territory.

The missions assigned to the Legion are:

* To group together all veterans, in the service of the country
* To organize mutual assistance
* To ensure the collaboration of veterans in the work of public authorities

Within the LFC, Joseph Darnand set up departmental services d'ordre (S.O.) in the summer of 1941, in particular in the Alpes-Maritimes, Haute-Savoie and Haute-Garonne. The Service d'Ordre Légionnaire (SOL) was officially created on January 12, 1942. The SOL became the Milice Française in January 1943.

https://www.brusselstimes.com/belgium/119259/belgian-king-expresses-deepest-regret-for-colonial-cruelties-in-congo/

However, by using the words “deepest regrets,” the King foregoes official apologies. ‘Regrets’ are more indicative of a personal feeling, and have less legal scope than official apologies, which are not without obligation. Official apologies can lead to a Congolese demand for reparations.

Based. Sucks for him that he feels sorry but that doesn't change the truth, nor does Congo get any gibs from it.

A trader and former student of the Medersa of Algiers, Djebbour was the deputy of Algiers from 1958 to 1962, in the group Unity of the Republic (first legislature of the Fifth Republic), until the end of the mandates of the deputies of Algeria in July 1962, the date of the independence of the colony.

Djebbour was injured in Paris on July 26, 1958 during an attack by the FLN, standing next to Jean-Marie Le Pen. He later escaped several attacks. Djebbour always considered that the FLN was not the right party for Algeria. He protested against the curfew which targeted North Africans in October 1961, in solidarity with the workers and not with the FLN; he considered the curfew a discriminatory measure.

After independence, he created the National Front of French Islamic Repatriates, a national association, of which he was president until 1974. His daughter, Soraya Djebbour, is the first Muslim woman elected to the Ile-de-France regional council in 1986, with Front National.

Ahmed Djebbour challenges the legitimacy of the Front de Libération Nationale, Algeria (1962)

Despite the fragile Franco-Algerian dialogue, there is no shortage of voices, including among the Muslim population, that challenge the legitimacy of the FLN. This is the case of MP Ahmed Djebbour interviewed by Belgian television in February 1962.

At the same time, the DKG tried to appeal to the youth through a more attractive offer: It presented itself more and more as a young, active movement that could offer the youth exciting variety in addition to ideal orientation. In 1927, for the first time in the annual report, the versatility of colonial youth gangs was emphasized, which included "strengthening the body" by swimming, archery, etc., as well as "manual skills that a future colonial pioneer must master", such as hiking and orientation in the field. The communications subsequently took up this tactic by attempting to address the youth, for example, by describing the activities of the colonial scouts or by presenting role models from Germany's colonial pioneering days. Also, since 1926 youth conferences have been held at which sports competitions, off-road exercises and the like were held.

In the twilight years of the Weimar republic the DKG still claimed to be ostensibly apolitical and nonpartisan. Konrad Adenauer, Vice President of the DKG since 1931, represented the principle of non-partisanship in the sense of a genuine and reconciling integration of those involved in the party struggles of the late Weimar Republic's divided youth:

"What we experience today in the extremist expressions of life of our youth (...), expressions of life that, in their radicalizing tendencies, threaten all values of individual morality and state order, are all essentially some impetuous urge to act and a need for validity, which and wandering aimlessly (...) because these young people lack real and dignified possibilities that satisfy their imaginations."

Badges of the German Colonial Youth organisations (KS, BDKpf. & BDKJ), Bremen, Germany (1938)

In 1931, the existing Colonial Youth Committee was supplemented by the DKG Youth Welfare Office, which had the task of reorganizing the settler youth in a federation of German colonials. They were divided into four groups:

* The reading communities: colonially interested pupils who came together to read the youth magazine "Jambo".
* The school groups, led by a teacher as a confidential counselor.
* The youth groups, formally independent, were subordinate to places in which there were departments of the DKG.
* The Colonial Scouts, whose symbol the fleur-de-lis is pictured in the bottom left.
