The Bantu Authorities in Transkei have accepted a constitution, which the Unity Movement is unhappy about; to which this document ensures continued domination of the Transkei by the Republic of South Africa. The Unity Movement and the freedom fighters' would like to see the effective and efficient implementation of Bantu Education; Bantu justice; the running of labour bureaux; the development of industries, the mobilisation of forced labour on the roads etc. and the infliction of more taxes on the already impoverished peasants etc.In conclusion, the Unity Movement wishes to fight until South Africa is free of Herronvolkism, politics of race and until equality prevails with implementation of the Ten-Point Programme.
