The governing body of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) voted in favour of suspending South Africa from participation in its Annual General Conferences in Geneva. The resolution was passed by thirty-two votes to fourteen with two abstentions. The ILO objected to South Africa's policy of racial discrimination and further labelled its labour practices as forced labour. The organisation argued that the country's legislative system channeled the majority of Black people to work as manual workers and thereby has created a cheap labour force. It concluded that a system of forced labour of significance to the national economy appears to exist in the Republic of South Africa.
