    More than 5-thousand people packed the Jabulani Amphitheatre in Soweto on the outskirts of Johannesburg on October 17 for the annual prayer meeting of the South African Black Alliance (SABA). The occasion who is chairman of SABA and president of Inkatha, the strongest and largest black political movement in South Africa. In a three hour address, Chief Buthelezi said whites had always wanted to stamp out black opposition to white domination. He said that for this reason, SABA was formed. He added that SABA realised disunity was the weakest spot in the black community of South Africa. Attacking the policies of Prime Minister Pieter W. Botha, Chief Buthelezi said Pretoria was attempting to use so-called black homeland independence as an excuse to strip nearly one million people of their birth right and herd them into a foreign country like cattle.
