"Today, however, the ANC is not the organization that it claimed to be then..."
Dear friends,
In the spring of 1983, I brought David Ndaba (now known as Dr. Samuel Gulabe - Nelson Mandela's personal physician) to speak at Temple University. He was the assistant to and replacement for the now late Johnny Makatini, then the official representative to the United Nations (UN) for the African National Congress (ANC) who had to return to South Africa at the last minute.
It was the very first time that the ANC had been invited to Philly (or any other major US city, of which I'm aware), as it was considered to be a "terrorist" organization by the Ronald Reagan administration, because of its stance for the total liberation of South Africa. Therefore, the White Supremacist governments of the US, Israel, and South Africa were not interested in anyone hearing about the ANC's side of the issue.
Today, however, the ANC is not the organization that it claimed to be then. Moreover, as I read in an interview with him not long ago, even Gulabe himself admits that genuine change has not occurred in South Africa.
At any rate, the short piece on the link below gives an example.
>Cheers!
