The fifteenth Annual Conference of the Trade Union Council of South Africa (TUCSA) altered its constitution in such a way that effectively debarred Africans from membership. It accomplished this by no longer accepting any unregistered unions as TUCSA affiliates. Though Black trade unions could organise legally, they were not recognised and not registered under the Labour Relations Act.
