African Spotlight

Rhodesia Rebels
In 1965 rebel white racist leader Mr. Ian Smith with the help
of other poor white who live in the African country of Rhodesia
rebelled against the British Government and said that the
. African country will be independent from Britain. Mr. Smith
and his gang thus seized power and excluded the black majority
from all forms of government, took their land, expelled black
students from the University and arrested and imprisoned att ""
the black leaders.
With the help of the Organization of African Unity, Rhodesian
nationalists have bSen fighting the Rhodesian white racist
regime and the United Nations imposed a boycott on everything
coming from Rhodesia and no member nations recognized the
so-called independence.

Another white racist regime, the South African rulers, have
been giving the white racist minority in Rhodesia all the aid and
ri..iU t ~'
vuiuiuu uiai auum rtirica oenevea will help Khodesia to
suppress b^ack freedom fighters in Rhodesia. Publicly, the
South African'regime say that they station 200,000 soldiers in
Rhodesia but in reality, Rhodesian black freedom fighters say
that South Africa has over "500,000 fighting merlinaries ot
fortune fighters in Rhodesia.
It is an irony of history that Portugal who started the
colonization of African people is also the country to start the
final dismantling of white colonization in Africa. For it is
believed by many that but for Portugal deciding recently,
because of the efforts of black freedom fighters, to end her rule
in Angola and in other African countries, that Rhodesia'and
South Africa would not have made any positive moves.
In fairness to some white people in Rhodesia at the time that
Mr; Smith declared Rhodesia so-called independent of Britain.
not all of the whites in Rhodesia supported Mr. Smith. In fact,
there were many whites in Rhodesia, along with many black
nationalists, who opposed Mr. Smith and all the things he
stands for. Some of those whites were imprisoned, many left
Rhodesia and a lot spoke out against Mr. Smith and all he
stands for.
In recent weeks events are taking place in Rhodesia that seem
. to point to a day when the black majority will have power to rule
and. govern in their own land. For the Rhodesian regime has
recently released from prison some of the freedom fighters that
that regime imprisoned for over ten years and a conference
to iron out the issues of independence is proposed.
Many observers think, however, that all that Mr. Smith and
his gang of racists are doing is to use the black nationalist to end
the boycott imposed on them by the rest of the world only to
contihue again their repressive rule. Others argue, however*
that even Mr. Smith and all the superracists in the world cannot
stop the tide of events that is now taking place in Africa and that
it will not be Iono hpfnrp pv?nHocio ? ?2,1

their rightful place in the scheme of things in Rhodesia.
Whatever happens, the world will one day see the blacks in
Rhodesia in control of their own country and do it with fairness
and compassion to all that live in Rhodesia regardless of the
color of their skins.

t
Greensboro, N.C. - Bennett
College has received a grant of
$53,421 from the Federal
Environmental Protection Agency
for an experiment in
removal dyes from textile
waste.
Dr. J. Henry Sayles, who.
with Dr. Allison Maggiolo,
both Bennett College chemistry
professors, will carry out
the project, said the experiment-involves
filtering the
wastes through resin.
t4The major problem of the
textiles industry is pollution of
streams by industrial dye
waste," Dr. Sayles pointed
out. 4 * Previous work in the
laboratory has shown the
potential application of exchange
resins to be a feasible
approach to removal of dyes
from textile waste."
Dr. Sayles said the ?rant
will be used to refine the
procedure and to set up an
automatic bench ^scale pilot
plant in which dye waste will
be pumped continuously over
a resin bed. Waste from plants
in the area will be used. The
experiment will continue for
18 months, 'r**
