"Being in favor of divestment is a crime at home. You can spend 25 years in jail if you talk in favor of divestment." Vilakazi said the Botha government is making another mistake by ignoring Bishop Desmond Tutu, "because very soon people will stop listening to Tutu; he'll be irrelavent to them because he's talking about peaceful change. It's fortunate that people still listen to him," he said. Violence in South Africa has claimed more than 800 lives in the past year, most at fhe hands of police during rioting. Vilakazi said increased violence stems from frustration. He said violence serves a purpose because "the government is panicking now. Foreign investors are no more sure of the stability of South Africa, so the government of South Africa is panicking, and by panicking they'll be forced to make reforms, and 1 think violence is playing a great role." "What we, believe at. home is^ that if you die in the struggle you ^ have contributed a lot. If you work hard and you confront the police in any manner, even if it means you go there and fight them with whatever you have, then you are doing a good job. And if you die, we regard you as a martyr," he said. If reforms are not made soon, Vilakazi believes the government will try to wipe out the black population. "But fortunately we do have the African National Congress on the other hand." He sees the outlawed African National Conference as the only representative of South African blacks. "Although it doesn't have very much power in the country, it does have a lot of support and most important is that it is being supported by people who were born after it had already been f<S| "Need Ext I itf? *1 P AA /\ I $13.uu un jpi: f j Twice A Wet Li d?

"I would say the ANC is just accepting weapons from the Soviets because they are the only people who can supply them with weapons. If America or any western community can supply them with weapons, then it will be OK too," he said. He said that Nelson Mandella, ANC leader and a government prisoner for more than 20 years, would be the best president if blacks become voters. "I don't say that if South Africa becomes free only blacks should be picked up and thrown l into the government structure.. ^ . The person who is in power | should be elected by the people.? Even if it means Botha going back into power. If all the people elect him, then it's OK," he said. Vilakazi said lack of student interest in the issue is evidenced by the poor turnout at USC's Free South Africa Alliace functions and by the opinion that student senate should not have passed a resolution condemning ^ apartheid. W "That makes me feel that the majority of students here feel that the issue is not for them to handle. I guess some prefer that the status quo should be preserved in South Africa. Of course, we do have those here who feel that justice should be done, but I guess the majority really feels that things should go on as they are, like there's no problem there," he said. raCash" B rst Donation [ ik Donation | ; $ $ i iSMA CENTER !; tr Street A Carolina 29201 . 8 14-6683 ^ 3* :0?
