- Description: Photocopied article from the French newspaper Libération. Author of the book "L'Afrique du Sud en direct" (South Africa Live), Antoine Bouillon is complaining about two previous articles in this newspaper which incriminate Johnny Clegg of being a false-Zulu and using Zulu folksong under his own signature. Because still living in South Africa under the Apartheid government, he can't represent as much as Chris McGregor, Abdullah Ibrahim and the ANC movement. Those two previous articles have been written by Serge Loupien.
