“Archbishop Tutu should learn the Lord's Prayer, which

states ‘Give us this day our daily bread.’ He has his daily

bread, but sanctions take away the bread from black

children,."’

_— Spokesman for Inkatha, the fargest black

political organization in South Africa; Oct. 22, to visiting

| Canadian press group.

Joe Clark, Brian Baloney, and
the socialist who represents us at
the United Nations won't ap-
prove, but for the past couple of
weeks, courtesy of the South
African Tourism Board, I have
been in the Forbidden Land,
otherwise known as South
Africa.

The country follows me
around. Within an hour of my
getting back, the news bad Bob
Skelly bashing Premier Bill
Vander Zalm for agreeing to talk
to Ambassador Glenn Babb
about S.A. wines coming in.

It was ‘‘inappropriate’’ that
Vander Zalm should talk to Mr.
Babb, said Skelly. Perhaps it
would suit Skelly if more South
African blacks went without their

1 daily bread, although the opposi-

tion leader is too sivnid to
understand what his positio. re-
ally invalves.

“The only ones in
South Africa who
are for sanctions are
the above-mentioned
Tutu, Winnie
Mandela the
terrorist’s wife, and
the banned,
Communist-run
African National
Congress, now being
built up in the West
as a bunch of

parlor-pink liberals.”

Still, he is in good company.
Hypocrites and fools the world
over sing the: same song. They
imagine vaguely’ that. the end

i justifies the means. Lenin would

have loved them.

The headlines in Cape Town,
Durban and Johannesburg when
I was there would have delighted
the Skellys, Baloneys, Clarks and
Stephen Lewises. For in the For-
bidden Land there is no rationing
of bad news. ‘‘General Motors
Quits."" ‘Computer Giant (IBM)
Pulls Qut Of South Africa.”’
“Shell Shock’. Yet nothing
could be more tragic than the
West’s rush to judgment on
South Africa.

The desire to punish Pretoria is’

nonsensical, if only because few
in the West listen to the blacks
they purportedly wish to help.
Chief G.M. Buthelezi, head of
Inkatha, leader of 6,000,000
Zulus and prime minister of
KwaZulu, one of the
opposed to
sanctions and says they will lead

} to bloodshed.

The only ones in South Africa

f who are for sanctions are the

above-mentioned Tutu,
Mandela the terrorisi’s wife, and
the banned, Communist-run
Afrian National Congress, now
being built up in the West as a
bunch of parlor-pink liberals.

That the ANC is openly in
favor of “necklacing’’ and other
unspeakable forms of violence is
either ignored or approved.
When [ was in Johannesburg,
Barbara Castle, the prominent
British socialist, refused to con-
demn such methods.

The Inkatha people | met in
Durban were bitter about Brother
Tutu. “Tutu,’’ said one, “is a
political clown.’’ They are also
rescuttul that Tutu should ap-
prove of sanctions while leading
a grand lifestyle. For that man of
God has several large houses and
his five kids are being educated
abroad. (As 1 also discovered,
one of South Africa’s largest fi-
nancial houses does his investing
for him. So sanctions are not
likely to affect Brother Tutu.)

Then there’s
media view of white South
Africans being a bunch of fat
cats lounging around swimming
pools while being served gin by
blacks. Well, I flew over plenty
of white areas where hardly a
pool was to be seen. But even if
that media cliche is accepted,
sanctions would still be immoral.

The worse the South African
economy becomes, the fewer
blacks will have menial or
domestic work or jobs in the
hotels.
Skelly or anyone else to tell them
they should starve in the interests
of higher things.

Thousands are already grin-
dingly poor. In Cape Town, the
Argus newspaper was appealing
for food for people in the Cape
Flats.
reported that 161,000 blacks in
three areas had no income, and
requests had been received to
feed 25,000 children in Blocm-
fontein.

Sanctions will not bring down

the government, either. Mr. Peter |

Sorour, director general of the
non-political South Africa Foun-
dation, told me that before sanc-
tions, the Botha government was
concentrating on reform. It is
now concentrating on survival,
and divisions in the governing
National Party haze ceased.
Lagering up, they call t.

Sanctions are hypccritical, too.
Foreign airlines gaze hungrily
upon the routes that tae splendid
South African Airways may iave
to give up. The Australians cye
the South African coal market.
Here in preachy Canada, we ex-
empt from sanctions ferrochrome
imports that are necessary for
Canadian industry.

Give us this day our daily
bread? Think about it, Bob Skel-
ly. And how about reading the
Bible, Mr. Clergyman?
