The Introducing Deputation has Members from all parties. The recent meeting of M.Ps. (Members of Parliament) also shows British sympathy. That the Transvaal Indians are unhappy even without the Ordinance is proved by the recent case of a child's conviction set aside with scathing criticism by Transvaal chief Justice. |
