- "Apartheid is a fence," says South African JOHNNY CLEGG,
- "and I had to find a hole to climb through." He found it in
- music. With his band Savuka -- Zulu for We Have Arisen -- the
- white singer-dancer, bottom, is on a U.S. tour. At home, where
- some of his songs are still banned, white fans often tell
- Clegg, an inducted member of three Zulu clans, that they like
- his rocking African rhythms but hate his politics. When the
- going gets tough, it is African values -- not Western ones --
- that teach him patience.
