Apartheid fight needs violence, South African says
Staff Writer

Members of the national black liberation movement in South Africa have learned a “painful lesson” that non-violent methods of fighting apartheid do not work, a South African exile told about 55 people at a lecture last night in 3138 Westcoo.
The South African, Rhodes Zwilianjn Goxiyia, traced the history of South Africa to the present in his lecture on "The Liberation Struggle in South Africa."
"We must look at aparthied in the context of what has happened before," he said.
Gokyia defined apartheid as not only a political policy that perpetuates white rule in South Africa, but also as an economic policy that benefits the continent of a continued presence of cheap black labor.
He said international backers of apartheid reaped large credits from the social policy.
SOUTH AFRICAN apartheid restricts blacks to certain occupations; causes blacks to be paid lower wages than whites, allows only whites to vote in elections or to run for office and maintains strict separation of the races in all aspects of life.
Gxoyiya said efforts from 1910 to 1960 to

The bill also stipulates that liquor can be served only in conjunction with a meal and only in the same room where the meal is served.
State Rep. Mike Glover, D-Lawrence, who presented the bill to the House, said after the vote in the Senate: "It's a real relief; it saves money." The president of liquor by the drink they wanted."

"The days of 'please', couched in very education language, ended when the Youth Liberation Movement took place."
"It took us several years to learn that we could never hope to influence colonial consciences using reformist methods, using what I taught, "naught in Christian school,"
The Youth League and other liberation movements founded later have worked with the movement to make it possible.

Africans and to organize them to fight the source of their oppression, he said.
GXOVIYA SAID the black South Africans had reached a high state of politicization, but he added that that the struggle against apartheid would not be easy to win.
"We have no other alternatives but to resort to armed struggle," he said. "It is not to be easy; we don't kid ourselves. It's going to be a long, hard one, taking several years."
"The efforts that are being made here are not the isolated actions that a few crazy people can do."
Gxoyia, a native of Soweto, South Africa, said the riots there last summer were a revolt against years of attempts to make the attacks to the fact that white rule had come to dominate.

Goxyria was asked about the lunch宴 at the speech last night, and he said that meeting had not been the main focus of his visit.
"AS WE'RE making these efforts, they're not laying down," he said.
"My being here is to come and build ties and talk to people like you, who will hopefully play some role at some future date," he told the audience.
