VIEWS ON RHODESIA
School Head Challenged (N.Z. Press Association) DUNEDIN. Nov. 1. The views expressed by the principal of the Taieri High School (Mr T. G. Hislop) on the Rhodesian situation were described as racially biased and un-Christian by two Rhodesians now studying at Otago University. The students, Messrs P. P Pfukani and S. H. W. Lunga. were commenting on Mr Hislop’s statement that he had suspended his membership of the Anglican Church because he was “horrified" at the attitude of the Archbishop of Canterbury on Rhodesia. [The Archbishop (Dr. Ramsey) said he supported the use of force by Britain if the white Rhodesian Government declared independence unilaterally.] Both said that they were shocked to hear such racist views expressed in New Zealand.
“I call upon Mr Hislop to tell us how and when his relatives in Rhodesia have suffered anything,” Mr Pfukani said. “The only white people who have suffered terribly in any way are those who have been deported for espousing the humanitarian cause. Among them are Dr. Terence Ranger and his family. Now our former Premier, Mr Garfield Todd, has been detained. His only crime was that he supported the democratic principle of majority rule.”
