"There Was a Man..."In the beginning of our present
era the re was a man whom I shallnot narne. If this man was no tperso nally present he mus t have.at least. heard of the non-vi olentand successful act ion against thethe n ureatezt nower on earth : Th emighty Rom an Emp ire in theperson of the R om an Governor.
He went into the desert to consider and contemplate how andwh y non -violent resista nce couldbe used . Then he taught! Andth e peopl e who lived a simple life ,wer e no t ye t blinded by moneya nd possessions , ease a nd riches .un derstood.
His teach ing was bro adc ast byword of mouth and was slowlydistor ted in the proc ess, But thosein power ma rvelIed at the powerof non-violence and became sorelyafr aid. He was taken prisoner andlawfull v executed in the customary manner. T hen they took histea-thi ng and tauzht them in theirown way to deceive the people,
And the y were eminen tly successfu l.
T he nam e of this man , who wasgiven the title of "The Prince ofPea ce. has been invoked in a succession of vio lent an d b loodywars, revolutions and st ruggles.
Yet his true teach ings are stillwith us today.
It is for you to discover themand pr actise them in yo ur non violent struggle against oppression,

The bann ing of religiou s gatherings would be strictly nonsensical.It seems th at the present-da yaut hor ities are up aga inst theUniversal Cre ator. The co mplaintslaid down to the City Councilthro ugh the Director of Marke tsby the traders of the G rand Parade, should not be foIlowed bywell-thinking people. Preachersshoul d be left alone, because theyare heaven-sent mess engers . Theydo what the Scriptures say mustbe don e- to expa nd the work ofGod, To ignore and to hate thegospel because of a business is toput your own life at stake.
I appeal to th ose tr aders 0fI theG rand Parade to humble them se lves before the heavenly messengers befo re it is to o la te. TheWord of G od exist ed for to savetheir own lives from the chai ns ofthe Devil.

JACKSON NKOSIYANE wasonce secretary to Para mountChief Sabata of T embuland.Early one mornini in May 1958,at the height of Tembu opposition to Bantu Authorities, Nkosiyane was arrested in his house,taken to the Native Commissioner's Omce and handcuffed toTwalenfeni Joyi, the th ird leadingTembu tribesman to be exiled(he was sent to We.>selsvlei in theVryburg district). Both men werethen sent into banishment. Nkosiyane, Sabata's secretary for threeand a half years, had taken astrong stand over the undermlning of the powers of the Paramount Chief by the Bantu Authorities Act and the promot ionof Chief Kaizer M atanzima ofImmigrant Tembuland over thebead of Paramount Chi ef Sabata.Once tribal scribe an d Tembuland diplomat, Nkosiyane is nowhoused in a broken down hut andsleeps On a mat on the mud floor.
