EX-MINISTER CHARGED
INCITEMENT ALLEGED HOSTILITY TO NATIVES (11.45 a.m.) PRETORIA, Sept. 5. Oswald Pirow, a former South African Minister of Justice and Defence, gave evidence in the case In which he is charged with having in an article headed “Take the Law Into Your Own Hands" incited other persons to commit an offence contrary to the Riotous Assemblies Act, which provides penalties for anyone guilty of promoting hostility and ill-feeling between the natives and Europeans. The article is alleged to have included the following: “Where non-Europeans intrude upon Europeans, throw them out on their necks Where Europeans entice them to play with them, throw these renegades out with them.” Pirow said in evidence that he did not write the article, but instructed it to be published. He considered that the natives wanted equality just as little as the Europeans, but they were being enticed by agitators.
