Abstract:	This article recalls some details of the Bandung Conference of 1955 and gives an answer to the following questions: why did this conference so impress those of the hard-bitten and cynical newspapermen who were there? And why did they fail to convey their sense of tis importance to people who were not? How important was it in fact? How powerful and how durable is the Afro-Asian group likely to be? The author's conclusion is that the members of the Afro-Asian group will continue to show an increasing interest in the welfare of the Bantu and the Coloureds in south Africa and that the British and the Americans in sheer self-defence against communism, must do the same, however sympathetic they may be towards the Europeans of South Africa in their dilemma.
