April 1961 - Dr Verwoerds's Commonwealth Walk-Out Was The Unites Front's Biggest Victory - How they got busy. United front members lead a big march along London's Oxford Street at the time of the Prime Ministers Conference. In front from left Oliver Tambo, Kusen Guizi, Dr Y Dadoo, Fenner Brockway Labour MP, and Nana Mahoma. Dr Verwoerd had just arrived and delivered a No Interference with our Policies speech. Dr Verwoerds's walk-out from the commonwealth is a severe set back to the whole business and financial structure of the Union. Its political consequences must be tremendous, and will be felt increasingly, year after year. To one group it represents a signal victory, the South African politicians in exile known as the United Fronts. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
