    Description: DM2000012516:SAED:POLITICS:PERSONALITY:BOXING:SEP1957 - Treason: End of Round One - To keep fit, Nelson Mandela, solicitor, was at Jerry Moloi's boxing gym at Orlando every evening. He's shadow-sparring with Moloi (right) a professional featherweight. As the biggest case in South Africa's history lumbered to the end of its first stage this August 1957, the 156 accused men and women wondered how many of them would be back in court again. The 156 national leaders had first appeared at a preparatory examination into treason at the end of 1956, in the specially constructd court at the Drill Hall, Johannesburg; they had spent their lives in and out of court for most of 1957; and they could now see the possibility of the same prospect for the third calendar year, 1958, if they were committed for trial in the Supreme Court.

To be reclassified as an African could, everybody understood only too well, mean a whole new train of daily embarrassments and disabilities, but hundreds of Coloureds went over to the Native Affairs Department and there cam up grim stories of comb and pencil tests, nose and ear inspections and of people being summarily classified as African.

    Description: . SAED:SPORTS:SOCCER:DRUM AUGUST 1959 Ð Why shouldnÕt we start our own Pro Soccer? Ð It was a dusty afternoon of soccer trials at JohannesburgÕs Bantu Football Ground. There were a scattered few hundreds spectators. If this had been top class pro-soccer, thousands would have rolled up to witness all the games. Soccer is our National Game, but what a mess it has got into. Standards are falling away, administration need a boost. Why donÕt we try a drastic medicine, why donÕt we try playing professional soccer league? (Photograph by Ian Berry ©Baileys Archives) NEG 12

The rich, the poor, the retired and the unemployed: they are all to be found in the mosques. The floors of the mosques are lined with carpets, some ornate, some threadbare. Worshippers shed their shoes before entering. It is difficult to be precise about the number of Muslims in West Africa, since in most territories religious statistics are not recorded in the census. The vast majority of the population of Northern Nigeria is Muslim, though some pagan tribes have survived, especially in the Middle Belt. In the predominantly Yoruba Western Region of Nigeria, conversion to Islam is taking place rapidly, and it is estimated that in some of the big towns, like Ibadan, between 50 and 60 per cent of the population is already Muslim.( Photograph by Drum Photographer ©BAHA)

    Description: DRUM JUN 1958 Ð MR DRUM SUMS UP THE EFFECTS OF CHRISTIANITY. NIGED:SOCIAL:CULTURE:RELIGION:JUN 1958 Ð Mr Drum Sums Up The Effects Of Christianity Ð A Sect Derived from Christianity: Members of the Cherubim and Seraphim sect in Lagos find religion a lot of fun. They say they have adapted Christianity to West African Life. It looked as if Christianity had come to stay, and in the ensuing years the church strove to stabilize its position in the social life of the people. ( Photograph by Drum Photographer ©BAHA)

NIGED:POLITICS:PERSONALITIES:AUG 1959 �What� This Talk About An Alliance? �The Sardauna of Sokoto, his actions make clear there is no alliance between the NPC and NCNC. The belief that thee is an alliance between the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons and the Northern People� Congress has gained ground in Nigeria since the last conference on the Nigeria constitution furthermore, it has been strengthened by the NCNC� unspoken but apparent determination not to contest the forthcoming federal election as a party in Northern Nigeria.

    Description: NIGED:SOCIAL:CULTURE:RELIGION:NOV 1958 Ð The Strength And Influence Of Islam On West Africa Ð Eid-El-Kabir Festival: The federal premier, Alhaji Tafawa Balewa, leads worshippers at the Obalende praying ground in Lagos. Solemn and pensive, on the premierÕs left, stands a boy of royal blood. He is prince Oyekan Adele, scion of a formidable father, His Excellency, Oba Adele II of Lagos. It is difficult to be precise about the number of Muslims in West Africa, since in most territories religious statistics are not recorded in the census. The vast majority of the population of Northern Nigeria is Muslim, though some pagan tribes have survived, especially in the Middle Belt. In the predominantly Yoruba Western Region of Nigeria, conversion to Islam is taking place rapidly, and it is estimated that in some of the big towns, like Ibadan, between 50 and 60 per cent of the population is already Muslim.( Photograph by Drum Photographer ©BAHA)

    Description: SAED:BEAUTY:PERSONALITY:MODEL: DRUM MARCH 1952 Ð PinnieÕs New Dress Ð Our photographer saw this pretty girl on the steps of the Johannesburg Public Library. She is so smartly dressed and looks so cool and fresh that we thought you might like to copy her elegant striped frock. Her name is Miss Pinnie Matlale. We think that loose panel with the big, useful pocket is a grand idea, and would look smart on any plain tailored dress. Top marks, Pinnie, for looking so stylish!
