	This a very common statement from people who believe the propaganda
put out by the SA government (remember when they tried to by the Washington
Times?) ... The tribal chief of the Zulus is a hereditry, not an elected
position, it is also paid for (rather well) by the SA government ... many
other South Africans, both black and white have called for support for the
UN economic sanctions (which is what disvestment is all about, the US is the
country that breaks those sanctions more than any other), Bishop Tutu the
Nobel Peace Prize winner only recently got his passport back after calling
for disvestment, in South Africa IT IS AGAINST THE LAW to call for disvestment!
