Organisatiegeschiedenis 📅 16 December 1943 📍 Zuid-Afrika

The annual conference adopted a revised ANC constitution and the document Africans’ Claims in South Africa, articulating demands for citizenship, land, education and political rights. A later timeline also records a conference adoption in 1945; this batch follows the 1943 conference entry and flags the discrepancy in its research log. In 1943 the ANC also accepted women as full members and advanced formation of a Women’s League, a major change after decades of excluding women from formal membership. Sources identify that change by year but do not establish that it occurred on this conference date.
