The Liberal Party actively campaigned against the removal of 'black spots' in Natal in the 1950s and 1960s, before it disbanded in 1968 as a result of legislation prohibiting non-racial political parties from operating. A major vehicle for this campaign was the Northern Natal Landowners Association, established in 1958 with some 40 'black spots' as members and Eliot Mngadi, a Liberal Party member and landowner from Roosboom, as organiser. The ANC endorsed the campaign before it was banned in 1960. See R. Vigne, Liberals against Apartheid: A History of the Liberal Party of South Africa, 1953-68 (London and New York, 1997), 89-99 for an account of this early phase of resistance to 'black spot' removals
