TAILIEUCHUNG - Native Life in South Africa, Before and Since the European War and the Boer Rebellion

Sol Plaatje began work on `Native Life in South Africa' in 1914, while on his way to Britain to plead with the Imperial Government against the Natives' Land Act of 1913, as part of a deputation of the South African Native National Congress.

The Natives Land Act of 1913 which forbade natives to buy or rent land except in a few small reserves consisting largely of wasteland was finally overturned in 1991.
