2 Bourke, Richard. ORDINANCE No. 50 OF HIS HONOR THE LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL: for improving the condition of Hottentots and other free persons of colour at the Cape of Good Hope, and for consolidating and amending the laws affecting those persons. Cape Town, 17 July 1828.

8 p. 4to. Unbound. R 5000

Richard Bourke was Lieutenant-Governor of the Cape at the time. The ordinance consists of 25 articles, including the following: Hottentots may possess land or property (III); Wages not to be paid in liquor or tobacco (V); Rate of wages in case of dispute & proof of payment required (VII); Destitute children to apprenticed (XIV); and others of equal importance. This document represents a turning point in South African history. Under its provisions vagrancy was no longer an offence and all could move without passes. "Gone at a blow were therefore the two instruments which had been used to drive the Hottentots into the service of Europeans. Gone, too, was any restriction upon the purchase of land by the Cape's men of colour. Above all they were free to offer or withhold their labour and therefore to improve their condition through the right to abandon bad masters and cling to good ones. The immoral elements amongst them were also free, naturally, to steal and cheat and trespass. Of the conduct of these latter men the Colony was immediately loud with complaints". [De Kiewiet. A HISTORY…, p. 46.] A determined effort to overturn Ordinance No. 50 was made by Colonists, but the British Government stood firm and it remained. During the long tenure of the VOC at the Cape change had come slowly, if at all. From the time that the British had taken control in 1806 many changes had been implemented. Ordinance 50 proved to be the last straw for those who felt that their situation had changed materially for the worse under the new masters of the Cape. They trekked away from the Cape and formed two independent Boer states in the interior of southern Africa. An important document!

As it was, it required only one ballot, held against a backdrop of internal strife following Sharpville. 850 458 voted in favour of the Republic, 775 878 against. In Natal, the majority was against the Republic; in the other provinces, slim majorities were in favour. In March 1961, South Africa left the Commonwealth and on 31 May became a Republic.

On 17 March 1992, in the last "whites only" poll, President F.W. de Klerk gave voters the option to reject or accept his proposal that South Africa should become a participatory democracy. The Conservative Party and other right wing parties ecouraged voters to reject this proposal. In the final count, 85 % of the electorate had cast their votes as follows: 1 924 186 YES (68,6 %) and 875 619 (31,4%) NO. De Klerk used this as a mandate at the CODESA negotiations. "Whites probably have their very last chance now to negotiate a satisfactory dispensation with black leaders. If they let the opportunity slip, they would be forced- after a devastating war- to negotiate again, but then it would be about total surrender. That is the choice." [Referendum document in file]. Thus after 31 years, Dr Verwoerd's march into the wilderness was reversed. See illustration.
