Thegreatpeace fighterPatrice Lumumba wasmurderedbvthe Belgian ssuppo rted by the traitors Kasavubu. Mobutu, Tshombe and Kal on ji.Thesefourwill pavfor the murder of this great man and his supportersin front of God.
To theCongolese peopleIwant to expressmy great sadness about thismurder wh ich was allowed by the U~ oppressors. Remember that JesusChrist was alsobeaten up by his capto rs.withoutmercy.
Laterhewas crucified.
Longlive the struggle for inde- pendence in theCongo. Maythose whoare thereal followers of this great:freedom fighter keenthe struggle going. - -
To Mrs. Lumumbaand rela- tives,I wantto say: Akukwehlan- ga-Lungehlanga, which means, what has happened willhappen evermore.In South Africaour great leadersHintsa andTshaka were alsomurdered by theBritish and theBoers.
Our Readers Lumumba's
Iamvery sad about the death ofM.Lurnurn ba,theCongo'spre- mier. Ican' t believe that he is dead. Jfheis. God blesshim.

You whoknow all aboutLu- rnumba'sdeath,you will notget awaywithit.Youwon't,I betyOU
won't.Doyou think you will get aoennvforaman's life?You are lik'e JudasIscariot who sold our Lordfor30shillings, andhe never gotaway.
I am sure Mr.Mobutuis very proud of the dirty work he did.
Mr. KasavubuandMr.Tshorn- be shouldalso be happy because theman whowas in their way is gone. Buttheir Governmentwill never last.
Mr. Hammarskjoeldwill also answerfor Mr. Lurnumba'sdeath.
Heisuseless.Away with him.He will neverbe welcome in Africa.
Theworld will never forgive him.
Tstill see the dark, tall man with the~lasses.He wasthe black cloudthatbrought the rain to the Congo.He has vanished.
Rest in peace,Mr. Lumumba.
