Noting that "a beginning has been made" in enforcing the law, the churchmen called upon the Reich Commissioner to revoke the order. Cried they: "Sterilization constituted a profanation of divine command and human right. It is the final consequence of an anti-Christian and destructive racial doctrine, the manifestation of a presumptive self-aggrandizement and a life philosophy that threatens to undermine and frustrate all truly Christian and humane existence...

In Durban, chief port and swank resort of Natal Province, prosperous Indian merchants and farmers (mostly descendants of laborers imported in the 19th Century) had bought $3,000,000 worth of property in the past two and a half years, had moved into new homes in the city's toniest suburbs...
