(_a_) The transfer of the Cape Colony to the British Government took
place by circumstances of _force majeure_ and without the consent of the
Dutch nation, who renounce all claim in favour of the Afrikaner or Boer
nation.

(_b_) Natal is territory which accrued to a contingent of the Boer
nation by purchase from the Zulu King, who received the consideration
agreed for.

(_c_) The British authorities expelled the rightful owners from Natal by
force of arms without just cause.

The task of the Afrikaner Bond consists in:--

(_a_) Procuring the staunch adhesion and co-operation of every Afrikaner
and other real friend of the cause.

(_b_) To obtain the sympathy, the moral and effective aid of one or more
of the world's Powers.

The means to accomplish those tasks are:--

Personal persuasion, Press propaganda, legislation and diplomacy.

The direction of the application of those means is entrusted to a select
body of members eligible for their loyalty to the cause and their
abilities and position. That body will conduct such measures as need the
observance of special secrecy. Upon the rest of the members will
devolve activities of a general character under the direction of the
selected chiefs.
