Paul Mosaka

Date: 26 September, 1943

Paul Ramotsoane Mosaka, an influential businessman, in conjunction with Senator Hyman Basner established the African Democratic Party (ADP). The organisation had the same goals as the African National Congress ( ANC), but was more committed to determined organisation of mass-support and co-operation with progressive Whites. Mosaka's intention was that the ADP should become an ANC affiliate, but was finally forced out of the ANC by A B Xuma.
