African By William Fulton Motlalepula Chabaku, an exiled South African educator, visited Winston-Salem State University [WSSU] on January 24. Ms. Chabaku spoke to WSSU’s faculty, staff, students, and friends in the main ballroom of Hauser Student Union. In her address, Ms. Chabaku discussed her per sonal struggles encountered in attaining her master’s degree in divinity. “It is very painful for me to speak of South Africa,” stated the educator early in her speech. Later, she told of such atrocities as the gunning down of a thousand black children by the South African govern ment simply because of the children’s desire for more equality in the educational system of that country. She also spoke of incon sistencies within the American culture. “How can you be a Christian and a racist,” she questioned her 100 member audience. Also, she stressed the im portance of solidarity and cooperation between Americans and black Africans. “Our oppression is directly related to your unemployment,” she stated. Chabaku then pointed out the fact that many American com panies flee from unionization and labor laws in America and go to South Africa, which has a tremendous black labor force without the right of unionization or legal protec tion against exploitation.
