[handwritten by Elza Miles:] For Ernest
13/10/1941 W.C. du Plessis to Senator Rheinalt Jones concerning payments to Mancoba on behalf of Union through the American representative in Paris: £5.2.5 (which was collected by Beda Hall residents at Fort Hare) and 2,220 francs/£12.13.4 (Jan. ’41… 360 francs, May ’41… 300 francs, June ’41… 300 francs, July ’41... 300 francs)
Interior file H1296 dated 05/03/1945
Semi-official letter to mr J S Hurter
We are however disposed to put before you another view, and that is that the relief being offered to Mancoba at present should not be terminated too soon. If he is financially assisted for a fair period he may decide to stay in France or elsewhere on the Continent. As you know the colour question does not loom so largely on the Continent as it does in this country.
Were Mancoba to return alone it seems quite certain that relations or other friends would sooner or later provide him with funds for his wife's fair to South Africa.
Alarming thouqht… European woman to be brought to Boksburg Location and there to raise up a coloured family in Native surroundings.
… Union point of view: something we should strive to prevent and accordingly… we should give Mancoba the chance of becoming absorbed into continental population.
J.S. Hurter, secratary of Interior Affairs, Cape Town 29/03/1945
Relief payments to E.M. Mancoba may be continued at rate of 3,000 francs (15 pounds) until further notice a month. Signed: T.H.V. Hönck, Interior Affairs (in answer to semi-official letter, 5 March 1945)
Hönck to Secratary of Native Affairs, 29/03/1945: Asks about guarantees on application for passport. Reply refers to Rheinalt Jones
18/04/46 Secretary of Native Affairs referred to Mears’ and Hurter’s proposal re Mancoba’s repatriation
27/04/46 Resolution: instead of repatriation, relief payments to be continued at 15 pounds (3,000 francs) a month. In the absence of guarantees by Union’s residents there would however, seem to be little hope of recovering the advance made to him. Signed T.H.V. Hönck (Secratary of Interior)
