Labour vows "war" on apartheid Verwoerd policies
A Labour conference adopted resolutions condemning apartheid and urging a future Labour government to resist South Africa. Barbara Castle backed the motions, pledging to weaken Verwoerd's regime, assist African freedom fighters, fund their causes, and keep escape routes open. She also foresaw UN control of the south-west territories as a strategic turning point.
