Date | Original Topic | 17th February 2001 | The world turns By Jim McCoin There was an interesting program on C Span yesterday the Anerican Conservative Forum gave Chief
Butelezi an award for his efforts to keep peace in South Africa and end appartide (spelling?).
Also for keeping the Zulu people part of South Africa , he gave a speach refering to himself as Inkosi
Butelezi ,he's a direct decendent of Shaka . He briefly talked about his grandfathers ,Cetshwayo,war with
the British.
Charlton Heston gave him a very nice looking flintlock rifle as part of the award. | Date | Replies | 17th February 2001 | Peter Critchley Jim, was that actually dated from yesterday or even recently or was it referring back some time? It's interesting that this happened, were there any other notable figures there?

It was being broadcast live , the only other person I recognized was Wayne La Pierre,
president of the N R A . C Span broadcasts things happening in the Senate or Congress,
it's hard to know what you will find when you turn it on.
