During these two portions three speakers, including State Representative Gloria Fox, will address celebrants. The other two speakers, Brother Righteous and T.C., are from Zulu Nation, a non-profit grassroots organization that helps sponsor boys' and girls' clubs emphasizing education and non-violence...
...themselves in face of danger, were arrested numerous times, but never quit. They literally were willing to sacrifice themselves for what they believed in," says American photojournalist James Nachtwey, who frequently worked with Carter and his friends. By 1990, civil war was raging between Mandela's A.N.C. and the Zulu-supported Inkatha Freedom Party. For whites, it became potentially fatal to work the townships alone. To diminish the dangers, Carter hooked up with three friends -- Ken Oosterbroek of the Star and free-lancers Greg Marinovich and Joao Silva -- and they began moving through Soweto and Tokoza at dawn...

Mandela: Our security forces are at present overstretched. But the fact that ((Zulu leader Mangosuthu)) Buthelezi is now participating ((in the government)) might make it unnecessary to have such large concentrations of security forces in Natal. Therefore we might have a unit available. There are many problems facing Africa, so I would be well disposed to assisting, provided I feel confident that the situation in this country is normal...
