Anglican Archbishop Desmond M. Tutu and eight fellow bishops led a defiant church service in Oshakati, Namibia, and called for that country’s independence from South Africa. The main preacher, Bishop Bruce Evans, described South Africa’s occupation of the territory as evil, urged Christians to oppose it and called for the immediate withdrawal of troops from Namibia, also known as South-West Africa. Oshakati is the administrative center of Namibia’s northern Ovambo region, the main operational zone of the South-West Africa People’s Organization guerrilla movement.
