I hey Were Both hvicted Frotn S. Africa
Banned Woman Finds Local Ally
By Yvette McCullough
Staff Writer
When Motlalepula Cha-
baku, a South African The
ologian who was banned
from her country, came to
town last week, she found
an ally who had shared a
similar plight.
After her speech to the
YWCA, Chabaku called
guests’ attention back to
the podium, where she had
hugged Mrs Madie Hall
Zuma of Winston-Salem.
Mrs. Zuma, a native
who married a black South
African doctor and returned
to South Africa with him,
was called a hero by Ms.
Chabaku for her role in
black struggles there.
“When the whites came
and cleared out black resi
dences for their own use,
she stood in her home until
she was forcibly evicted,”
said the theologiai^.
“Her daughter was my
friend before they twk her
to the' camp where she
died,” she added.
Referring to Mrs. Zuma,
she said, “We here-wor-
ship here.”
Chabaku was in Winston-
Salem as a guest of the
YWCA. She is a lifelong
agitator for the rights of her
people in South Africa al
though she presently lives
in the United States. She
was the founding member
of the Black Women’s Fe
deration of South Africa
where she was a school
teacher for 11 years and
social worker for 13 years.
During her visit, she
spoke to students at Wake
Forest and Winston-Salem
State, she also spoke to the
congregation of Grace U-
nited Presbyterian Church
and at the Human Relations
Commission meeting.
She told the members of
the Human Relations Com
mission that if all the
human needs people have
were met there would be no
need for a “human rights
organization.”
“If we were all living
members in the body of
Christ we would have simi
lar feeling for each other,”
Chabaku said. “If some
-one was in hunger or pain,
then all should be sharing
the pain and if someone
was in joy then we all
should have the opportuni
ty to be joyful.”
“Everything we have are
God’s resources to be
shared by all,” Chabaku
continued. “Just like this
is God’s time we have while
are on earth, it was loaned
to us and no human being
has the tight to determine
who should live and for how
long or short. ’ ’
During her talk, Chabaku
frequently referred to God
as she. She later elabo
rated why she referred to
think of God as a woman.
She said that she has
been told the whenever you
see the word man in the
Bible it stands for woman
too.
‘ ‘I learned in algebra that
A is equal to B and that B is
equal to A,” she explained.
“Then if men stands for
woman then woman stands
for man.
“So for a day why don’t
you replace the word man
with woman, since man
stands for woman.”
Chabaku said that often
times women issues don’t
have the primary attention
Motalalepula Chabaku
that men issues tend to
have. She told of how in
South Africa more money is
allotted for a boys educa
tion than for a girls.
“Since funding is con
trolled by men it tends to be
a boy’s world,” she said.
“It is hell for women to get
funding for the YWCA,
while the YMCA can get as
much money as they can.”
Since most people won
der how she can advocate
loving the South Africans
after the way she was
treated she told of how a
white in country once asked
for her forgiveness.
The man she described
was Afrikaaner, a man
“who everything going for
him,” He didn’t have to
“stoop” so low as to ask
forgiveness from a woman
who was “landless in the
home of her birth.” She
said he apologized for the
hate he had for her and
because he “lowered”
himself she had to forgive
him.
“Because of this he was
isolated by his own peo
ple,” Chabaku said. “But
he helped me to come
closer to the cross of Jesus
Christ.
“I learned that you
should hate the wrong and
not hate the evil doer.”

Griggs Appointed to Local Zoning Board
Spurgeon Griggs Jr. has
been appointed to the Zon
ing Board of Adjustments
to fulfill the unexpired term
of Mrs. Mary S. Jeralds.
Griggs, 28, is a former
businessman and director
of carpentry at the Urban
League. The Howard Uni
versity graduate is also
chairman of the Winston-
Salem Improvement Asso
ciation. a group of residents
concerned with solving pro
blems in the black com
munity.
Mrs. Jeralds, a teacher
in Thomasville, said she
was unable to fulfill her
three-year appointment.
Griggs, whose term will
expire Sept. 1981, said
zoning is an important area
that residents should know
about.
“Zoning and zoning laws
have historically been areas
that the black community
has known the least about.
(As a result) the zoning in
East Winston is poor. The
objective of trying to pro
mote public safety has not
been carried out in the
black neighborhoods be
cause of zoning laws and
businesses being placed in
these areas,” Griggs said.
