South Africans Are Nom Called Blacks National Black News Service JOHANNESBURG - The Government of South Africa is responding to the spirit of black consciousness which has emerged among the republics' Africans during (he past few years. The collective noun "Bantu " which has been used over the years as a descrip tive word for black Africans, is being replaced by black. Bantu, the controversial leminology which has some- limes been used to reinforce South Africa's policy ol apartheid, was first used during the 19th century. The word was originally used to describe a group of more than 21)0 African languages with a common root. In all of them the word for •people" was Bantu. The term was first used in South Africa at about 1960 by Dr. Hendrik F. Verwoerd, the late Prime Minister and chief philo.suphcr of apartheid. Be fore that the term “native" was used, but this gradually took on unacceptable connota tions of colonialism and racial interiorily taught by the South African whites Bantu has never been fully accepted as a substitute by Africans themselves. Many blacks protest that it is inaccurate as a racial de scription and make them feel like curious exhibits in an anthropological zoo. LalHir Minister Marais Vil- joen. generally regarded as a hard line member of the cabinet, gave the first indica tion of the new official viewpoint when he explained during a public speech, that he made more use ol the word "black" than "Bantu” be cause "It is ni.>re descriptive and I- .1 word that is accepted by black piHiple " This m-irked the first time a cabinet minister had endorsed the wttrd black and ackaowl- eilged that Alncans preferred it The Labor Minister’s remark drew praise truni Chief Gatsha Buthelezi. leader of the Zulu people, and the chief critic of the word "Bantu." He called it "an important step to impro\'e race relations and an example to whiles ” South African Digest, an official government publica (See S. AFRICANS. P.
