ABSTRACT

The world indeed knows that the South African patriots, enlisted in the Pan-Africanist Congress and its valiant army, the ‘POQO’, already lead a heroic fight in the countryside of their national territory. A South African security source claims that Ndibongo had established contact with Frente Nacional de Libertacao de Angola members in exile, first in Ghana, and later in Algeria where he had been station by Mahomo before coming to Congo. The National Committee for Liberation was a small-scale South African militant organisation. Although it drew members from a variety of political backgrounds, many, including Lang and Randolph Vigne, came from the Liberal Party of South Africa. In late August 1963, Nelson Mahomo approached Adoula with the idea of launching a radio programme committed to the liberation of South Africa. The general theme of the broadcast would be that, while the road ahead was long, South Africa’s liberation movements were winning the struggle.
