ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at the three issues of Voorslag, and, given the uproar it caused in the white enclaves of Durban, it also looks at The Wayzgooze, a satiric poem which Roy Campbell wrote in disgust over the magazine's enforced closure. The chapter suggests that Voorslag breached the high walls of racial inequality in the Union of South Africa. The majority of Caribbean writing reflects the Diaspora, that forced movement of stolen peoples from various points on the African continent to work the sugar and cotton fields of the New World. Declaring that the magazine would be devoted to "the Life and Art of South Africa and development of the South African people", the editorial introducing Volume I in June, 1926, also announced that "in politics Voorslag has no party. It offers an open platform for consideration of social and political questions free from party or racial prejudice".
