Transvaal Chinese Association

The Chinese Association of Gauteng (Chinese: 杜省中華公會) is a South African organisation that advocates for the interests of Chinese South Africans. The organisation was formed in 1903 as the Transvaal Chinese Association (TCA) in the Transvaal Colony when approximately 900 Chinese people lived in the colony.[1]

In the early years of its existence, the TCA, together with the Transvaal British Indian Association and Mahatma Gandhi, lead the opposition campaign against the Asiatic Registration Act which required the registration of Indian and Chinese people living in the Transvaal Colony.[2] The TCA's campaigns initially involved passive resistance against the government. However, the TCA later took a more moderate approach to campaigning, with methods including petitioning the government to request more rights for Chinese people during Apartheid after the Transvaal Colony became the Transvaal Province of South Africa.[3]

While the TCA's approach to politics was initially passive resistance, this was eventually replaced by a non-confrontational approach (which was also adopted by other associations at the time), such as petitioning the government for concessions to the Chinese....
