{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
--up and down the country, not just in the camps.
[00:02:08]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
The Labour, the Communist, and the Cooperative Parties, as well as the Liberal Party,
[00:02:14]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
and the majority of Members of Parliament and trade unions, are on record against Apartheid.
[00:02:22]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Women joined in these general activities and organized to take action, as well.
[00:02:27]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
For example: International Women's Day of the Year be devoted to Apartheid.
[00:02:33]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Demonstrations and meetings are held all over the country;
[00:02:38]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
one, for Winnie Mandela,
[00:02:41]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
outside the South African embassy in Trafalgar Square,
[00:02:44]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
attracting T.V., radio, and newspaper reporters covering earlier this year.
[00:02:52]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
It happened to be a bitterly cold day.
[00:02:55]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
I don't know if you could imagine what a bitterly cold day is;
[00:03:00]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
obviously, it's not warm like Angola here.
[00:03:03]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
But, it was a large demonstration.
[00:03:08]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Many people supported it during their lunch hour.
[00:03:12]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Last Sunday, Joshua Nkomo [[applause]]
[00:03:23]

[[voice in background talking louder than speaker]]

[[Cross Talk]]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
faced a large meeting of the liberation organization in London
[00:03:29]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
and told the audience there
[00:03:30]

[[voice in background talking loudly]]

[[Cross Talk]]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
of the current struggles of
[00:03:35]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
the Patriotic Front.
[00:03:37]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
One of the most encouraging advents
[00:03:40]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
of the solidarity with Southern Africa,
[00:03:43]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
is the large number of young people

[[Cross talk]]

[[Voice in background talking]]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
who are joining in the solidarity struggle.

[[Cross Talk]]

[00:03:51]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
I was hit with an epiphany of last Sunday's meeting
[00:03:54]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
with something like 70 to 80% of young people,
[00:03:58]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
and that is a new phenomenon for us.
[00:04:01]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
There is in fact solidarity by the people in spite of the
[00:04:07]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
[[members'??]] attitude in the government.
[00:04:09]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
And most people now recognize Apartheid as a crime.
[00:04:15]

[[Applause]]
[00:04:23]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Dear friends, I'd like to emphasize,
[00:04:25]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
that the British government is completely ambivalent,
[00:04:30]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
as it were, in the negotiations on Zimbabwe.
[00:04:34]

Transcription Notes:
Joshua Nkomo - Zimbabwean politician (1917-1999) need help in a few spots - perhaps a new ear can figure them out ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-01-11 18:43:39 This should not have been "Completed". Speaker names missing, timestamp at end is missing, too many unknowns.
