Speaking at a special prayer service for those suffering under apartheid, execu- tive member of the Natal Indian Con- gress, Mr Mewa Ramgobin, placed the spotlight on the fundamental duty of Christians, Hindus and Muslims to ght and destroy apartheid. This would be consistent with the beliefs and actions of revered gures such as Je- sus, Swami Dayanand, Prophet Muham- mad and Mahatma Gandhi. Mr Ramgobin said the initiative taken by religious organisations to ‘intervene cre- atively in the affairs of our land augers well for South Africa.’ ‘To pray and protest today must lead all South Africans to some kind of action where are religious convictions are mani- fested.’ Mr Ramgobin said it was essential to un- derstand the lives of ‘the great men and woman of our times from Christianity onwards.’ It was Christ’s willingness to suffer on the cross, he said which gave birth to Christi- anity. For Mahatma Gandh i, like Christ, resistance without violence was not pas- sive but in fact a ‘call to action’ to resist evil, political or otherwise. Swami Dayanand fought against the evils of caste, the repression of woman and the adherence to rituals. It is in this context the historical duty of South Africans to ght and destroy apartheid in consisten- cy with the scriptures of Hinduism, Islam and Christianity.

It’s a prosperous and happy new year’ for clothing industry workers afliated to the
Garment and Allied Workers Union. This year they will received their rst wage
increase in two years.
After lengthy negotiations GAWU has succeeded in winning increases for grade one
workers from R101 a week to R122, while grade two workers will earn R114.50 as
against R94.50 previously.
In July, they will receive another R3 increase. But while these workers will go homewith slightly heavier pay packets there is no comfort for workers in the decentralised
areas who are receiving low wages.
In an attempt to tackle the plight of these workers GAWU intends to set up a branch
in Northern Natal.
