Article-Summary: 

A black man who fell in love with a tall, slender Afrikaner woman found out this week the outlawed Immorality Act - which prohibited love across the colour-line - still exists as far as his employer is concerned. Johannes Montoedi of Wolmaransstad said he was fired this week from Buisfontein Safari Lodge, where he was employed as a driver, because of his affair with a white woman.
