Thursday. February 8.1979 THE CHARLOTTE POST Page 5 Church News Briefs ^Lw„?newa^ Club Is Sponsoring Valentine’s Program Oswald Ndanga urges Charlotte's citizens to support the 4 liberation struggle in Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) by sending clothing and medical supplies, (photo: Eileen Hanson) A f m — African Leader Says “Zimbabwe Needs Clothes, Books” by Eileem Hanson Special To The Post Don't throw away last year's coat because it’s too short or those pants that are out of style. Someone in Africa needs them. You can lend a helping hand to the people of Zimbabwe by collection clothes, books and medical supplies to send to refugees in the war-tom south ern African country, also known as Rhodesia. Oswald Ndanga, represent ing ZANU (Zimbabwe African National Union) spoke at the Afro-american Cultural Cen ter on Feb. 5 and appealed to Charlotte's citizens to collect clothing for Zimbabwe be tween now and Feb. 16. The Afro-Center, located on the 3rd floor of Spirit Square < 110 E. 7th St.) will serve as a collection point for materials. They will be taken to Durham Feb. 16 for shipment to Africa by Church World Service. "Our struggles are interre lated,” said Ndanga, a teach er at Allen University in Columbia, S.C. ‘‘Our people are mostly peasants figging for independence. We only want to control our own land, our resources, feed and edu cate our children.” Ndanga outlined the needs of the refugees who have been uprooted by a decade of war for national independence: clothing, boots, shoes, blan kets, coats, non-perscription drugs, first aid supplies, women’s sanitarv products, doors and magazines. Money is also needed to transport the supplies. Ndanga urged churches and clubs to join the Zimbabwe clothing drive. “We need cooperation between oppress ed people. As long as Africa is underdeveloped and weak, black people eerywhere will be dishonored and degraded. ” Speaking at the Afro-Cen ter’s community forum, Ndanga told of how ZANU has been engaged in an armed struggle since 1966, a year after the white minority government led by Ian Smith selze&cpptrol of .the country Now pe liberation forces control 80 per-cent of the countryside, according to Ndanga. “Inch by inch, we are fighting for the liberation of our land and pur people ” He said the internal settle ment proposed by Smith and the western powers won’t work because it leaves the minority in control of the Onuprnmpnl ornnnmu anH , military. “Smith wants to have sanc tions lifted so he can get arms, oil and direct military help to carry on the war,” said Ndanga. When Smith came to the U.S. last year it gave him a new lease on life. “He got promises oi weapons. Aniei ican helicopters have sudden ly appeared,’’ said the African leader who heads the ZANU organization in the U.S. “Ours is a class struggle, not a racial one. Oppression knows no color,” he said. “We are fighting against an op pressive system.” For more information about .the Zimbabwe clothing drive contact the Afro-cenfer * ' (374-1565) weekdays 9 a m. to 5 p.m. r.

Assuming that there is one at your house, is it a well-worn, dog-eared,perhaps cloth-bound edition? Or is 4 it instead a brand new, leather-bound, # gold-embossed version that merely looks m impressive on your shelf? Remember that the Bible cannot help you unless it gets opened, so resolve now to begin reading it; a little at a time. , You'll marvel at the wisdom and insight of the prophets and other great leaders of ancient times', and realize how much their advice is needed today.
