Speaking at a prayer meeting in New Delhi, Mahatma Karamchand Gandhi called on the South African government to stop the hooliganism by Whites. The authorities warned the Passive Resisters to vacate the Volksrust camp. The Attorney-General for Natal, W. J. McKenzie, appealed to the Europeans not to interfere. Violence against the Resisters stopped only on 24 June when the Smuts government took action after wide protests.
